Hi, Well, it all depends on the copyright holder. Some will let you create as much fan fiction as you want provided you don't sell it, and some like Lucas won't let you do anything with the copyright without being sued. shaun everiss wrote: who knows. there are in fact loads of fan fictions

Actually, to be fair would have been to not accept any more pre-orders after taking the project over. I can understand not refunding this other person's dues (which is dubious to keep customers' money - in my opinion) but I think it would have been better to stop taking pre-orders. It hurts all

Hi Charles, That's correct. Everyone who paid for Montezuma's Revenge can still play all the betas that were released up until I had to pull it down off of my web sight. So they didn't exactly wind up with 0. I have not, and will never, ask anyone to delete their betas as they paid for them.
