The whole issue comes down to this:
1) People don't want their characters used without credit
2) People who initiate stories, even when those same stories get
embellished by others on the board, want credit for starting it.
3) Some people are field-testing possible ideas and stories on the board
I would say do not worry about it until you have a working script/manuscript
andare ready to sned it off but are still willing to rework it to accomodate
those
involved. At that point it becomes a personal issue. Like I believe Hayden
said at the beginning, don't screw your friends-that includes people on this
board. At this point, even though several dozen people are "working" on
something, I don't think it's an issue yet.
