[quote="AladdinsGenie"]I think as long as you're mentioning all of what you're telling us (mostly the "alternative version of this person's story" bit), I don't have a problem with it since you're not claiming the original story to be yours and you've tried to contact the author for permission. If they come back and want the story taken down, then you can talk to them about it directly, but it's been six years - I doubt they're coming back, too.[/quote]

It would be fun to talk to another Mechanikles fan, and I just got a review from someone who'd like me to continue my alternative ending.

For the past few days, I've been on a Mechanikles kick and went through my old files and pics of him. I discovered a story that I wrote some time in 2005, I think. The story is an alternative ending to <a href="http://www.aladdincentral.org/library/viewstory.php?sid=362" target="_blank" class="postlink">this</a> story by Mica West. I loved the story and idea but felt the ending was a little rushed, so I tried another approach. At the time, I was unable to contact Mica for permission, so I never posted the fic anywhere. <br /> <br />Now I'm feeling a little nostalgic, and I thought it might be fun to share the story with others. However, if Mica didn't reply to my messages then, she most certainly won't do it now. I don't think she can be contacted in any way. <br /> <br />Do you think it would be out of line to post the story?</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> </table>
