Legal Stuff for Sabrina the Story
Legal Stuff for Sabrina the Story
The Disclaimer:
I cringe to call this "Fan Fiction", even though that's exactly what this is. Sabrina the Story has surpassed the one-year mark when words first began forming sentences. I've put a tremendous amount of work into it, but let's face it, *sigh!*, it's fan fiction, or, perhaps more appropriately, doggone good fan fiction!
It's also heavily copyrighted stuff, based on other heavily copyrighted stuff. I know Eric will vigorously go after anyone infringing his copyrights, and so will I with my stuff. You can download it, read it, show it to your friends and say "Oh, look what I found on the Internet", but don't change it, don't try to sell it, don't shift it around, don't change the characters, don't take out my name and put in your own, don't repost it anywhere, don't put engine oil in your transmission ... basically, play ball and you won't get hurt ;)
BUT. . . please enjoy it and tell me what you think!
Okay, here's the Official Disclaimer. You'll see pretty much the same thing at the start of each chapter as it goes up -- please do not remove it so no one'll ever mistakenly do anything with it they shouldn't, 'kay? Thanx!

As you read in FAQ, you know my love affair with Sabrina, who stars in what is arguably the best Internet comic strip next to Kevin and Kell. When I'd resigned myself to my feelings and the fact that she's stuck behind a glass screen I decided to get permission from her Creator and began work shortly before, appropriately, Valentine's Day, 1998.
In creating Chris Foxx, I was faced with two dilemmea:
Should Chris be a fox or a wolf?
How much of he should be me?
I wanted him to be a wolf -- I'd always used the name "Akela" in online chat rooms in the past -- but what confusion would that create between my character and Amy's fiance Thomas Woolfe? Oh sure, the thought of making them related did cross my mind, but I'm also addicted to the look of foxes and fox tails, so I decided I'd be a fox, add the second X, and make him a 10-year-younger, more fit, toned-down version of me.
