[quote]Write that epic story about Veronica Mars helping G.I. Joe with a mysterious murder on an Army base and make it legit, thanks to a new licensing agreement between Amazon, Hasbro, and Warner Bros.G.I. Joe has spawned movies, games, and fan fiction.
Amazon Publishing plans to open up seven new Kindle Worlds based on Hasbro's popular G.I. Joe brand; Warner Bros. TV show (and upcoming movie) "Veronica Mars"; and Warner Bros. "Pretty Little Liars" spin-off "Ravenswood."
Kindle Worlds let any writer publish authorized stories inspired by popular "worlds" and make them available for readers to purchase in the Kindle Store. Currently, writers have a choice of more than 20 worlds, with the new ones expected to open in the next few months.
"Whether exploring the secrets of the mummy's tomb, or defending freedom from the evil plots of COBRA, G.I. Joe has been there," said Michael Kelly, Hasbro's director of global publishing. "It is with equal excitement that Hasbro now enters a new segment of the business by embracing the concept of open-source storytelling, and officially unlocking the world of G.I. Joe to our fans through Amazon's Kindle Worlds."[/quote]

I appreciate the creative new approach to IP licensing, but have they [I]actually read[/I] any fan fiction?
I'm sure people will be ecstatic to write [I]plenty[/I] of stories about exploring some derelict tombs of G.I Joes... I might be using the wrong word choice for 'tomb' though.
Yay, another place to dump OC lemons.

Soon you can have it beamed straight into your retinas
Fan fiction is a great way for a lot of aspiring authors to more or less cut their teeth these days. Before I started my novel a wrote a [I]lot[/I] of pathetically nerdy LOTR fan fiction, and as bad as fan fiction communities are you can get some good feedback
Sucks that most of this will probably be "And then GI Joe pulled out his nine inch cock and fucked her ass" stories though
Half life Full Life Consequences?

Not surprised. From my somewhat limited experience, not even GI Joe fans give much of a shit about the fiction.
Now we can have all our Dumbledore x Hagrid fanfics!

[URL="https://kindleworlds.amazon.com/?ref_=kww_faq_nav_0"]It probably doesn't help that the "allowed content" seems to boil down to "Sparkly Vampires", "Teenage Girls", and "Superheroes".[/URL]
Dr.C you need to get your fan fictions on there. They'll generate a lot of revenue and dead sperm.
