Carson Dane:
The key thing is the one’s special blood: the brothers are working on creating the virus only, when by accident, a drop of the one’s blood drops into the viral mix. The resulting “virus” when injected into selected unsuspecting humans causes them to be drawn to martial arts and swords, and to seek the vampires to be terminated.
Perhaps the “blood virus” fails in some of the selected humans, making them zombies, demons, etc.?
On another note, I researched copyright etc., before publishing my first book. My findings were not to worry about someone stealing ideas: thieves are thieves – just as the common thief needs to “see” the item in the car before breaking its window, plagiarists steal and use writings already proven to have made money in the market.
I think your creative manuscript would be too much work for them, anyways.
Best wishes for your manuscript.
Carson Dane:
Keep writing and saving files. Create a plot arch and try putting your short stories and characters across it. In other words, sequence what you've already written in a way that integrates the pieces together for your novel, using twists and turns of plot to make things fit. Then to finish, edit out what doesn't fit.
Carson Dane:
Ten or so is a lot, and a credit to you. (I'm juggling three ideas for my next book. My problem is deciding which one and getting started. I can only write part-time, which I guess, keeps me from trying too hard at writing.) You might want to post as 2012 did, or post parts of your writing and ask for suggestions, which in turn you can continue and finish one of your ideas. What do you like to write about?
Carson Dane:
As I understand, the rights to your story are yours when you write it; when you post it on a site, the site owners have the right to publish the story or parts of your story you post to their site, other sites, and the internet. I don't think that converts your writing product itself to a collaboration. It's about the writer's exclusive rights and the publisher's non-exclusive rights; isn't it? Seems cool to me.
Go ahead and post a story; I don't believe anyone has the right to claim credit for it but you.
Wadda ya think?
