Christine's assistant, Manda, asked me to write to you and give you the character contract, etc., for starting a Carpathian RPG.
*Note* This is here so people know some boundary lines when it comes to the characters like Gregori and Mikhail. You do not send this to me! Although I would appreciate it if you filled the profile out and pasted it in this thread that way the Moderators and myself have a way of contacting you.*
Quote:
Mainly, what we have is a "character contract" which each new member will need to complete in order to participate on your site. The letter is from Christine's publishers as are the rules. What generally is done is that I would need to be a member of your Carpathian site - I will not engage in play, just be a silent watcher for Christine's interests. If that is agreeable to you, here are the official "letter" and the rules for her site. We ask that you provide this to each new request for membership - in other words, they need to agree to the terms before they play. Most sites have an "approval" policy where the member is pending until the "contract" is returned.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. Just put a reference to the Carpathians in the Subject line and I'll see what I can do. I am cc'ing this back to Christine so she knows we made contact.
Sincerely,
Kristine aka Warrior Princess

and the general rules:
Copyright Issues
With the exception of the people assigned to the existing, established book characters - NO ONE may use any name that has been IN PRINT in ANY of the books, OR a pending character on Christine's website, for their character. This is copywritten material.
Also, you may NOT, extend an existing character's family, change their life-mate, etc. That means NO LONG LOST RELATIVES of any book character will appear unless Christine Feehan brings it up in a book.
Non compliance will result in a warning letter and removal from the list if not corrected, and reporting to your home ISP for copyright violation.
You may use an ancient or existing, established character in your story with PRIOR PERMISSION from the character's owner. If you have problems getting an existing character to respond to a request, email a moderator and they will review it.
Play according to the Feehan Universe. Ms. Feehan either is a member
here or has a specified representative who will look out for her interests, and is aware of everything that occurs. She is not an active
player, but she takes a great interest in these groups as we are
OFFICIAL RPG groups for the Carpathians. She is often referred to
as the AGX - Author Goddess Extraordinaire. For purposes of this group we will be playing according to PUBLISHED EXAMPLES from the books. Ms. Feehan graciously answers a lot of questions during various chats however, we are going BY THE BOOKS. If it's not published, it isn't happening.
If I can be of further assistance, please let me know. Just put a reference to the Carpathians in the Subject line and I'll see what I can do. I am cc'ing this back to Christine so she knows we made contact.
