99 pages. My Division 3 is 99 pages long. 27 pages of Retrospective. 72 pages of Appendixes. Pretty sick if you ask me. I think 7 pages is about the most I’ve written for a paper. Used to write poetry and short fiction, but barely scraped by my Social Science requirements *grin*.
Foresee (one of my latest cards).
Busy in production. 15 cards to go, and a new combat icon (if i can come up with one), and possibly new insets for combat cards and tongue spells.
I met with Goose at long last. We talked icons and art. Gathering the comittee together 1st week of spring semester, showing them progress and the outline of my retrospective.
Trying to figure out where the legalities stand before working on a contract for Dragon Art.
From Chapter 3/7 of License Your Invention
If you are an independent contractor , the person hiring you will own the work only if your work belongs in one of the following categories listed in the copyright act:
It is not nearly that cut and dry. I am not hiring Mona in the strictest sense of exchanging money for goods. So it is important that we put in writing how I am going to compensate her. Also, the I am not sure if what she is doing would count as a “contribution to a collective work.” That phrase may be referring to a single contribution among many, whereas Mona will be doing more like 1/3 to 1/2 of the art.
Here’s a long overdue update, good thing I planned ahead and gave my timeline some slack during the holidays:
The Research Log is all linked up and running.
My Bibliography is getting fleshed out.
The dragon model has been purchased and the Card Art project is getting under way.
I’ve run into a bit of a snag with the original survey that I have running on the public site. The information has been gathered into text files, but isn’t very useful in that form. I need to write a simple database to drop the information into and then write some queries to analyze it.
Just back from meeting with Colin. He had a great suggestion that instead of a Timeline I could have used a Gamut Chart, (gotta look up the spelling of that). It’s one of those timelines where you have multiple aspects of the project parallel to each other. Example: Project Process Diagram (PDF file, 25k)
He agreed with Goose that getting original art for the cards should be a priority.
We also talked about my Patent Search and agreed that I probably wouldn’t be able to get a very valuable utility patent. Now I need to read up on Design Patents and see what they can give me that wouldn’t be covered by my Copyright.
