@rarity Well yeah, I ain't selling Fluffle Puff today. What's really weird is I told him once that I wasn't comfortable selling the story and he's still trying to convince me. If I were a marketing student trying to just do an assignment, I'd move right on to the next story the second I got a rejection.

@rarity I'm sitting here reading the email in complete bewilderment. The sale basically boils down to this:
-By selling them the rights, I'm agreeing to send them the original .docx file and take it down from any website I've posted it to, as well as guaranteeing that I won't post it anywhere else again
-I can keep using the characters in the cartoons I'm working on, as well as any other stories I wish to publish in the future
-They're only offering to buy the "words on the page" and what I chose to do with the characters, and all potential copyright repercussions of the sale will fall on them and not me.
That last point confuses me because if I'm selling him the rights to the premise, and the cartoons are based on the same premise, aren't I technically also selling the cartoons to him?
I'm not selling ANYTHING, this offer just baffles me to no end. -
@rarity The prequel I wrote to my Undertale cartoon to sort of help build the universe a little more. I posted it to fanfiction because WHY NOT, and now somebody's messaging me saying that they're pursuing a marketing degree and part of their coursework involves buying exclusive rights to stories from their authors for some reason. They wanna pay me $30 for something that I'm like 95% certain isn't even mine to sell.

@rarity Did you ever get my messages?
-
@rarity I really hope I haven't completely destroyed your comfort and anonymity.
-
@rarity I'm reasoning that you are 22.
-
@rarity Goodness gracious, bro. I found you, your name, and your picture with a Google search!
-
@rarity I can't send messages to you.

@rarity Believe me, I understand that. I would hope that I would worthy of holding that promise, and that you would feel safe in knowing that I would never do anything to intentionally ruin your life. But, you should probably be a bit stricter in the stuff you do post on the internet in that case, a picture of your car and neighbor's house, probably a bad idea.

@rarity Basic logic didn't prevent them from calling Obama (G.W. Bush 2.0) a Nazi-communist-Muslim-socialist.

@rarity Now the right-wingers shall complain of a Jewish-Communist global conspiracy.

@rarity The only thing you would have to worry about me knowing where you live would be if I sent Mormon missionaries to your door (to annoy you) It has been a year since I've been in that area, so I don't actually have or remember it. But if i did, I promise you I wouldn't do anything with it, your privacy is valuable and important.

@rarity True, given that they conveniently ignore that their Dear Leader, Ronald Reagan, kicked off California's draconian gun control legislation (as a reaction to blacks carrying guns to protect themselves from racist cops).
-
@rarity Oh, that's understandable. (As creepy as it is, I think I already know where you live. You posted a picture of your car that had your neighbor's house in the background. I'm pretty sure I know where it is #OracleBeing Creepy)

@rarity Not to mention that studies have shown that those who rely on Fox News tend to be less informed than those who pay NO attention to the news.

@rarity What channel? I probably heard you when I was in Hastings.

@rarity Dang, that's a recipe for sustained miserability. What is your job?
