FAQ
Q: Can I post one of your stories on my site?
A: Yes. Go for it. So long as you give me proper credit at the top of the story, immediately beneath the
title, and include a stable link back to the story on my site, such as:
“(Title) Copyright The Fictician. www.fictician.com/blog.”
Note: If you straight up steal my story and imply/pretend that it is your own, I may get very angry and call
on the hounds of hell to track you to the edges of the web, and they will not stop until they carry chunks
of you back to me in their bellies.
Q: Are you a cyborg?
A: Just because I run on motor oil and the suffering of others is no reason to make an accusation. I’m
holding off before shouting my loyalties.
Q: Do you have something against vampires?
A: I had a bad experience. Just– no, I don’t want to talk about it.
Q: How did you get this site?
A: It’s run with Wordpress. The dot-org variety rather than the dot-com which is not as cool. The open
source theme is “Relax.” I changed some of it a little. Look for a site revamp in late summer 2010.
Q: Did you make the headers?
A: Yes. Photography and Photoshop are my friends and allies.
Q: Did you take the photography on the site?
A: Yes. But not if I credited it to someone else. In any case all is used with proper permissions. I know
you won’t theive.
Q: I want to buy one of your original artworks. Is this a possibility?
A: This is a possibility. See gallery section for details.
Q: Will you style edit my novel?
A: Not now, I’m busy.
Q: I love your stories.
A: That’s not a question.
Q: I hate your stories.
A: Hate is a strong emotion. Therefore I win.
Q: I want a “Dear Fictician” post about my fictional question. How do I do that?
A: Make your subject heading “Dear Fictician” or “Cantaloupe now, get Mary.” In the latter case I may hate
you, but in either case: Email fictician@gmail.com
Q: I want to contact you about something else.
A: Fine. Same email.
Q: I really like your characters and I made a fanfic in which-
A: I’m still not going to read it. I have an allergic reaction to fanfiction – despite how much better yours
is than all the rest – I would still rather not spend my morning staring down the porcelain god. From
vomiting. I choose to omit v. vomit.
Anyway, if I read fanfiction, then I’d always be dogged by the danger that what happens in your fanfiction
is coincidentally what I chose to go with as a plot event. That would be bad news barracudas, because then
I’d come off as an unoriginal snot-bucket.Q: I want a “Dear Fictician” post about my fictional question. How do I do that?
