[WIP] The Seven: Dawn Of The Gods (ON A BREAK)

Your father is kinda like God in some sense, he created the universe and created his “brothers” and “sisters” who are not as powerful as him but are still hella powerful. That’s why you have Asterokensis and your cousins weaker powers.

That’s what happens when you don’t check your work, sorry

I don’t plan to I’m more doing for fun

You will also be able to be bi or ace.

More manipulate the space and energy I think but I’m still doing research into the MC powers

I plan to have about 10 but it really depends

Well since you asked.
It is very hard to actually convict based on content as many stories share superficial similarities, see the monomyth for that. Not knowing the works you reference I cannot say how infringing this work would be compared to them. But do note that content wise it is fairly easy to sanitize a work so it passes muster. Which incidentally is what happened with Fifty Shades of Grey as that started out as a Twilight fanwork I believe and the author was able to remove the potentially infringing elements such as specific characters and world setting and lore fairly easily.

A more slippery slope is using the EU parody exception to make a work that is a deconstruction or critique of another.

Titles and Trademarks on the other hand are easy, if there already is a New Gods series of comics I’d suggest simply altering the title.

Of course none of this may matter in the end as big corporations like to use intimidation tactics to deter the would-be competition these days, where they basically have their teams of expensive attorneys sue you, even frivolously and count on you not being willing or able to pay the legal fees to defend against these often spurious allegations.

In short the current system of Copyright is royally screwed up. One of the main things I have against it is the automatic nature of it. In this day and age where you need to register everything anyway an easily searchable database of claimed copyrights would be a decent start towards reform and make life much easier for a lot of people.
Even if it puts expensive due diligence specialists largely out of work.

Again without knowledge of both works I cannot give any reasoned judgement on how infringing this might be other then to say stay away from titles and trademarks, for even should you manage to take on say Disney over one of its old trademarks and win it would in all likelihood be a Pyrrhic victory and not worth your trouble or money.

I assume from this quote that you’re doing something similar in Percy Jackson and the Olympians where even though everyone is technically related to each other in some way, they can still date because they’re godly parents don’t actually have DNA. (Though I’m confused how creatures with no DNA would even exist let alone have offspring, but they also did that in Rick and Morty so I won’t question it.)
Still though it might not be a bad idea to throw in some non familial ROs. That’s just a suggestion.

I’m thinking 7 but since a lot of people have asked for other romance options I will add some more

First thing first thanks for all the support on this. I have definitely taken all your ideas on board and am adding them to the planning of my story. I also wanted to mention that I have decided on all the powers your “cousins” are gonna get. Here they are.

Antikinesis: Manipulation of antimatter
Essokinesis: Manipulation of reality
Snacti-electrokinesis: Manipulation of holy lightning
Chronokinesis: Manipulation of time
Elementumkinesis: Manipulation of the elements
Astrakinesis: Manipulation of astral energy

These powers are subject to change if you guys feel like there is a better option. In the meantime, I’m gonna stick with these. So once again thank you very much for the love and support.

Oliver fell signing out.

Lighting? They part the clouds and make a ray of sunshine from the pearly gates?

Seems like they got the short end of the stick.

I’m trying to wrap my head around what that would look like…

Would they be a walking FTL hyperdrive? The harbinger of the destruction of reality as we know it?

Now I’m really curious as to how that would play out…

It does sound pretty good when you put it like that, but I was also referencing the fact that you spelled lighting.

Wassup everyone, I’m just popping in to inform you guys that I’m pushing the release date back to May. The reason being is that I’m still in school and have my exams coming up that I’m gonna need to study for so that takes up all the time for writing and I’m sure you would all prefer a story that has been perfected over rushed.

Thanks for sticking with me and for all the support
will be updating on twitter if anything changes

Does anyone know the the limit to which we can take it in romance scenes?

I’d ask one of the mods or previous authors how far you can take them.

Since anyone can buy the games through CoG, HG, Steam, etc. I would say not super explicit. Maybe a “fade to black” type of scene. So no Dragon Age/Witcher type of scene, more like TV PG stuff.

I think you can be explicit, but that limits the platforms it can sell on. Also if it’s explicit everyone’s over 18. And content warnings. I believe there’s even a new category for stuff like that.
