Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Fan fiction - Legal aspects

According to current U.S. copyright, copyright owners have the right to control or restrict the publishing of "derivative works" based on their material, though they do not receive ownership of those works. The owner of the original work (film, TV show, etc.) therefore may have some legal power over fan fiction, though the laws as written do not address the issue directly. Since American copyright law specifically protects parody, and also includes a provision that the specifically protected categories are not necessarily the only pro ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Furry fandom - Fan creations

Furry fans are eager for more material than is available from mainstream publishers. The demand is filled by fellow fans--amateur to professional artists, writers, and publishers who produce drawings, paintings, stories, independent comic books, fanzines, web sites, and even small press books. Fans with craft skills put together their own plush furry toys, sometimes referred to as plushies, or build elaborate costumes called fursuits and wear them for fun or to participate in convention masquerades, dances, or fund-raising char ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Furry fandom - Conventions

Sufficient membership and interest has allowed for the creation of many annual furry conventions in North America and Europe, the largest being Anthrocon in Philadelphia each July. Further Confusion, held in San Jose, California each January, is almost as large. The total number of people attending furry conventions exceeded 7,681 in 2004, a growth of 25% over the previous year. In 2005, 18 such conventions took place around the world. The first known furry convention, ConFurence, is no longer held. (Califur has replaced it, since both convent ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Furry fandom - Sex and furry fandom

Because funny animal characters are often used in children's entertainment, furry fandom has faced an issue about the place of erotica in the subculture. A number of furry fans are adults who enjoy themes that are considered unsuitable for children. Of these, many artists in the furry fandom produce pornographic artwork and stories, which in furry slang may be referred to as yiffy or spooge. These works are often posted on public ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Fan fiction - History

Fan fiction has probably been with us since the dawn of time, first taking shape in the form of myths and folktales. Since copyright didn't exist in prehistoric times, a good storyteller could change or add to a tale any way he or she liked. Written fan fiction probably dates back to Biblical times. An early example is the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, a series of improbable tales about the Christ Child. While he is shown doing the occasional kindness to others, for the most part he is portrayed as a superpowered brat, whose mother Mary s ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Dungeons & Dragons - References in popular culture

As the popularity of D&D grew throughout the late-'70s and '80s, references to the game often began to appear in popular culture. For example, in the movie E.T., several of the young characters are shown playing the game. More typically, D&D players are seen as the epitome of geekdom, and references to the game are used as a shorthand to establish characterization (as in the movie Airheads) or provide the punchline of a joke (for example, on Saturday Night Live). Many players, miffed with thi ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Dungeons & Dragons - Game History

Dungeons & Dragons - Influences. The fantasy game Dungeons & Dragons, designed by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, evolved in the early 1970s from the Chainmail system of wargaming rules by Gary Gygax and Jeff Perren. The game was influenced by mythology, pulp fiction, and contemporary fantasy authors of the 1960s and 1970s. The presence of halflings, elves, dwarves, half-elves, orcs, dragons and the like often draw comparisons to the work of J.R.R. Tolkien, although Gygax claims he was i ...

Dungeons & Dragons - Magazines. In 1975, TSR began publishing The Strategic Review. At the time, roleplaying games were still seen as a sub-genre of the wargaming industry, and the magazine was designed not only to support Dungeons & Dragons and TSR's other games, but also to cover wargaming in general. In short order, however, the popularity and growth of Dungeons & Dragons made it clear that the game had not only separated itself from its wargaming origins, but had launched an e ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Dungeons & Dragons - Controversy and notoriety

The game's commercial success led to lawsuits between Arneson and Gygax starting in 1979, over issues of royalties, particularly for AD&D for which Arneson was not given credit by TSR. Those suits were settled out of court by 1981. The game also achieved notoriety, particularly in the 1980s, due to its alleged promotion of devil worship, witchcraft, suicide, and murder. Some Evangelical Christians have criticized Dungeons & Dragons for encouraging interest in sorcery and demonic creatures. Many of these criticisms, thou ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Marion Zimmer Bradley - Literary career

Bradley was the editor of the long-running Sword and Sorceress anthology series, which encouraged submissions of fantasy stories featuring original and non-traditional heroines from young and upcoming authors. Although she encouraged in particular young female authors, she was not averse to including males in her anthologies. Mercedes Lackey was just one of many authors who first appeared in the anthologies. She also maintained a large family of writers at her home in Berkeley. Ms Bradley was editing the final Sword and ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Alternative history fiction - Alternative history in other media

Several films have been made that exploit the concepts of alternative history, most notably Kevin Brownlow's It Happened Here. Another such film is 2009 Lost Memories, a Korean film supposing that Hirobumi Ito was not assassinated by An Jung-geun in Harbin, China, in 1909. A few movies about alternate pasts, however, focus on individuals rather than historical events and some students of AH would say these are not alternate histories (e.g., Frank Capra’s It's a Wonderful Life, and more recently the films ...

Andre Norton: Encyclopedia II - Alternative history fiction - The boundaries of alternative history

This leads to readers encountering stories which read as though they were alternate history, but which are not. An example would be Robert A. Heinlein's The Man Who Sold the Moon. Written in the 1940s, it posits that the first moon launch is run by a private organization rather than a government agency in the 1960s. New readers encountering the book may well presume that this is alternative history since it is clearly a counter-factual depiction of the first moon launch, now almost 40 years in the past. However, when written ...

See main articles: historical revisionism, virtual history Historians also speculate in this manner; this type of speculation is known commonly as "counterfactual history" or "virtual history". There is considerable debate within the community of historians about the validity and purpose of this type of speculation. For alternative histories which some assert to be factual rather than speculative, see conspiracy theory and historical revisionism. ...
