Hey guys... I have decided to take on an endeavor after being told I would have support and investors.

I am going to write a couple of short stories and possibly begin works on a book. I am basing these off of our server and will contact Wizards of the Coast for permission on the use of the DragonLance Campaign setting as well as for publication. However, before I can begin I would like to know if anyone has any reservations of your characters being put into these stories/book. My first try at this is going to involve my characters and those they interract with IG and things that have happened in our alternate reality as well as some things beyond that. If I should write something involving your toon that has not transpired I would seek your opinion/guidance on the personality/direction your toon would take in the given situation. I would like very much to include everyone if I was allowed by you. Of course if anything was to come out of this , recognition for things done previous and inspiration would go to you as well as possible profits eventually. If you are in fact uncomfortable with being mentioned I can change the character to my liking as well as the name so as not to impede on your ideas. Thank you for reading this and I look forward to hearing your responses. None of this would have ever even became an idea without all of you accepting me into your gaming world. Many thanks.

Love and Hugs,

You have my deepest respect for this task! *bows*
I will support you, as much as I can with this, because I also thought quite a few times, that here many cool stories are told and some posts come close to beeing a chapter in a book! (ok, I'm not one of these book-filling posters but others are!). Even, if WOTC won't let you or let you and won't publish it, I'm sure, the stories made up by these people (and held together by your work - which is the heaviest part ) is worthwhile to be read!.
Go ahead, PLEASE!

By all means, go for it.

Please do NOT use my PC's and Stories.

Nothing against you, but I do not want Wizards getting ahold of my information and ideas, and certainly not my character concepts..

I don't trust WoTC any further than I can throw them.

Feel free to use all my characters as you see fit
i think its a reallly cool idea

Yip you go for it .....use any of mine you want to.
