Does anybody know how I would go about getting the rights to one of OSC's short stories? Thanks!

Erm... in what context? Adaptation? Performance?

Posted by kacard (Member # 200) on :

"Getting the rights" is a broad question. Nobody but OSC owns all rights to anything he has written. But if you have a specific permission question -- use the OSC Help Desk button above and write to us.

Come on Kristine, lighten up. [Smile]

He has to have some old story that he doesn't make much money on he could give to us for Christmas.

He could sign over the work to the Hatrack community as a whole. [Razz]

Homeless in Hell would be appropriate, in more ways than one. [Wink]

No way! He already gave us that same story once! Just because I give my kids the same present year after--erm, forget I said anything. [Embarrassed]

No, he let us read that story once. But if he gave up rights to that story and gave the rights to the hatrack community, that story would then be...

homeless in hell.

I just reread Homeless in Hell for the first time since it was published. What a great story!
