May I Also Add:

May I also add:

Jon hasn't internalized he can trust Martin because of season 2 behavior, delirium, flashbacks, amnesia, etc. and he has to learn to trust the gut feeling telling him that Martin is safe

obsessed with hurt/comfort fics where martin attempts to comfort jon like how someone would try and coax a spooked cat down from a tree

Love that tma is so traumatic constantly that we all gloss over the fact that Jon was kidnapped and forcibly moisturized while tied to a chair for a month.

Every time I think too hard about it it actually freaks me out. And Jon never talks about it again which also freaks me out

Absolutely! I'm so excited for you to see what I have in the fic!

The only things my story concept would keep would be the idea of an immortal, regenerative person being exploited over generations. It would be taking place in a different country, with different characters, different cultures, different symbolism and themes, and so on. I wouldn't reuse any of your dialogue, setting, or situations.

(I even invented different injuries because I wanted to go grosser than I did in "Seven Days", lol.)

I hope this eases any concerns you have about the direction I wanted to go. If you have any other questions or concerns, please let me know! The premise of Jon as a magical being inspired me so much and the last thing I want to do would be to detract anything from a writer like yourself.

Writing based on the Magic Shop has been a wonderful exercise and I look forward to finishing my fic. One of the commenters inspired me to novelize the story, set in an original context unconnected to TMA. I have some story notes and outlines already done, though no solid plans. If I were to pursue that, what kind of credit would you want?

I appreciate you asking, but I don't really feel comfortable with you turning something based on my work into an original piece. Fanfiction is one thing because we're all playing in the same space and you can link directly back to my story hosted on the same website, but when it's original fiction it becomes disconnected from my work and owned by you. Especially considering around half of your story so far is a retelling of mine, it crosses a line for me that my work and plotline would be used for your original work.

I have really loved getting to read your fanfic, and I think you have a lot of super creative original ideas in there. If you wanted to write an original piece following the backstory of Jon you came up with, for example, that would be super cool and not lifted from anything I've written. But I'd appreciate it if you'd leave out anything including the plot of the Magic Shop, and that specific world I've written.

Additionally, I've considered turning my own story into an original piece someday, and if you did publish your own I'd lose the ability to take claim of my own story.

I hope you understand and I can't wait to read the rest of your story!!!!

If you are a fan fic writer and you're alright with people making fan art of your fic, reblog this 💚
