Okay this isn't a political or about poetry, but I want people to know I saw the True Blood episode last night "A Fight Authority". I am a big fan. I did recognize some parts of the show were very similar to one of my short stories, The New Vampire Bible: Genesis II from my book Raven Wings and 13 More Twisted Tales. No, I did not get added to their writing team, and they did not approach me for use of my short story. So, you don't need to contact me to ask or inform me. Thanks for your enthusiasm.
Honestly, I'm flattered if they did get a few ideas from my short story. Proving something like that is nearly impossible even knowing Raven Wings and 13 More Twisted Tales was published in 2010. My next point is the show is based on a series of books I haven't read so I'd have to read the series first to determine if like ideas were used. Anyone is welcome to advise me on this. If you have read both the series and my short story. It could be a case of great minds think alike, and the majority of the show outside of the authority council scene seemed to have anything to do with my story. To my fans, I promise to look into the matter, but I'm not a lawyer.
Bringing me to my next question, is there an intellectual property attorney in the house? Although I love the show and want to give them the benefit of the doubt, if they did unintentionally pilfer some of my ideas then I'd like an apology and some credit. As for compensation, they can make donations to the Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Multiple Sclerosis Association of America and the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation in equal amounts they can negotiate with me.

Thanks for the compliment. I'm glad you enjoy my writing. Fortunately, the short story in question comes from a book published almost 3 years ago which is copyright protected.

ReplyDeleteThanks, the link is helpful, but I did not your namelisted as an attorney. Is there a specific attorney I should contact?
DeleteI am dvring this seasons True Blood so I can watch them all at one time, instead of having to wait a week for the next one.. I know, it is very very hard to do. So, I have not seen any thus far, but I have read all the books and continue to buy them the day they come out to read the next one. With that said the tv show is not like the books. Some of the basic fundamental parts of the show are the same. Yes she is friends with Sam, yes she dated bill, yes she dated Eric... but two seasons ago with that weird lady, that was like one chapter in the book, not enough for an entire season. And the witch part was nothing like that. From what I have gathered of commercials this season is not really in the books either. Just thought I would throw that out there for your information.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I haven't read the books yet. So, I'm waiting to see if there is anything in them similar to some of the episodes of the show this season. Unfortunately, similarities to my story keep popping up incorporated into the larger concept of the show. Problem is I love the show so I'm reluctant to pursue it, and I want to give them the benefit of the doubt so I'm taking notes at this time. Maybe you can answer this question about the books? Does Charlaine Harris incorporate a religious theme into her novels, Great Vampire God, Lilith the mother of all sanguine vampires and religious vampires?
DeleteIt is absolutely a good suggestion,
ReplyDeleteHow nice! I love them!
