Interest Check Thread

Hosted Games Works In Progress
1602

This is a gentle reminder to please keep conversations directed at the topic at hand and not at the individuals themselves. Focusing replies on the individuals themselves instead of the topic at hand can lead to friction between members and often causes the thread to derail.

Please also remember that it is often not so much what ones opinion is that causes friction, but how one chooses to express that opinion. Using negatively-charged value words are a good way to start friction, as is generalisation and sniping. Personal comments lead to friction and flaming.

Sniping back and forth will often lead to the system closing the thread down, let’s avoid this if we can.

Finally, if you see disrespectful posts please do not reply to them. Rather, please use the report feature and let forum staff de-escalate friction.

I’m totally lost right now. If you want whole new characters, then what names need to be changed ?? That makes no sense.

So here’s what you can do @Prashant_Singh :

  • You can create an “interactive fanfiction”, keeping all the names and lore and what-have-you of Harry Potter in a Choicescript game. The Fire Emblem Generator did the same thing. You cannot publish this, and you cannot earn money off this. You’ll have to host it elsewhere.

  • You can create your own world based loosely on Harry Potter and other wizarding stories, similar to Way Walkers. You can eventually send this on to be published, and possibly earn money from this, and if you do so Hosted Games will host it for you.

Yes,…the first thought on my mind was this but now after all your advice I think my first idea was wrong and now I am going to try to make it as fanfic non-profit work.

That’s why I asked whether I am doing right or not…see my introduction post .

I asked you all advice whether it is right thing to do or not.

Okay, so since you’ve stated that this is for a fan work and not for an official Hosted Games title, I’ve changed the title of your thread to reflect that.

Also on that note, I believe it might be useful to merge this topic with the other Harry Potter/wizarding world topic to save space.

Not whole new character …certain character…like a boy who study in the same time as Harry potter but his story doesn’t tangent with Harry story

OK, here’s a question that I don’t know the answer to but that is related to the topic at hand:

Are fanworks hostable (that’s not a word but I think you all understand, lol) on Dashingdon?

Actually, I think I’m just going to close the other one because otherwise…none of this makes sense. lol

Well that didn’t ease my confusion much but if you’re gonna write a fanfic then you can name anything whatever way you like.

Thank-you mate…for giving my right advice…I think if it’s a fanfic type game…there won’t be any issue right?

Lol, it seems like you’re changing your positions back and forth on whether or not you plan on plagiarising HP or turning it into a CSG or selling it at all. Which is a bit amusing, since we’ve all read the original post.

Yes…but then I have to change everything…I want my character to communicate with harry, Ron, Draco etc…but since his story os different some things need to be altered.

That’s up to Dashingdon himself to decide. I don’t see why not, as he’s not legally bound to the same rules COG is.

I’m not sure if COG will let you post the link to a fanfic game here on the forums, either. They might!

lol well I have totally lost sight of the original question by now. Since it’s a fanfic, you can do whatever you wan’t, there is no more advice to be given.

That’s a good point.

I haven’t really seen any fanworks made in CS on here on the forums, but I might be wrong.

What I do know is that the focus of these forums is skewed toward original content, so that might be an issue. I’m gonna dig around to find out for certain.

Thank you!

You’re going to have to decide which one you want: a free, interactive fanfiction that you cannot advertise, cannot publish, and cannot get money for, or a new world that you have to create that you can. There is no middle ground here.

This was my question guys…I first asked whether it will be right thing to do or not.

Semi-related question, if here is not the best place for interactive fan-fiction, where would that be?
