Ahahahha! duva just informed me that my Kock/Spork art was IN THE LARGEST SWEDISH NEWSPAPER TODAY!

How effin cool is that?? pdf link You have to scroll down to page 5. I babylfished the article, and couldn't make much sense of it, other than how people have slashed the two all along and how TOS practically encouraged it. And at the end, the writer of the article invites people to BRING ON THE CHEKOV SLASH! teehee!

Man, I am so chuffed! Thanks so much, duva for linking me!

Re: What about permission for publishing?

Yes, they did not ask my permission, nor did they inform me that the picture would be posted.

There is often controversy about making money from fan art. I do not own the characters, therefore I cannot make money from them. I am perfectly fine with that, and was thrilled to have my picture used.

I do know a few people who would have been quite bothered by having their art (or fiction) used or even talked about in a main stream forum like a newspaper without their consent. Not everyone is proud about the slash porn that they make.

It has always been my opinion that once I put something out on the internet, I basically give up all rights to it. It is NICE when people ask to use it, but I don't lose sleep over it.

It is odd, though, if that newspaper in question has stated that they are against that sort of thing, and then are the perpetrators themselves!

Thank you for your concern. I would have gladly let them use it free of charge, but you are right, it would have been even better if they had asked.
