@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.
