Just wanted to make sure this was said, i am NOT the writter of these great stories (bu my opinion that is). i may have altered the stories to fit my fantasize a bit better, but the core has been un touched. these are all stories that i have spent years trying to find, and feel as a fellow giantess worshiper myself, i am obligated to share them with you all. i feel this comutiny has great potentional, and hope we can all help in is success.

Enjoy all!

Perhaps I shouldn’t say anything, but I don’t see that you’ve altered anything but the names in these stories…and although none of my stories are represented, I know how I would feel if you changed the names just for the heck of it in those works.

Although I’m pleased that you’ve chosen to share these stories on this board, I guess I’m a little bothered that you’ve made alterations in the first place, and I’m guessing without asking the original authors.

If you were going to change anything, I’d prefer to see the author’s permission, and then don’t just change names if you get that permission…make a new take on the story. Make it from a different character’s point of view, or how the core story affected someone else…that sort of thing. Otherwise, don’t change anything.

But again, I suppose that’s just me.

No, I don’t think its just you GTSKate – I know how I would feel about such a violation; regardless of how well meaning or minor an issue it might seem on the surface to some.

At a very basic level its just plain wrong, in fact, it goes beyond the pale to tamper with other peoples stories without first making a real attempt at gaining their permission. And if you can’t, then leave it alone and try writing something original of your own by applying the energy of what you had in mind with that story instead.

As an example, when Hi-Standard continued Whoopie’s "Hiccups" as Whoopie’s Stand-In, he did precisely that – he first got the author’s permission to do so before proceeding.

Lastly, I will conclude with this thought for everyone’s edification. Writing stories is never easy done – it take time, patience, skill and a degree of talent – and things like this do not encourage people out there to freely supply their works, it has just the opposite effect.

“I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself.”
~ Mark Twain / Samuel Clemens (1907)

See my post on the "Damn Frenchy" discussion agreeing with Alex and Kate and a few others.

I don’t like the name of that discussion. I don’t want to DAMN anyone. But I think he should acknowledge and understand the rights of the artists.
