My Character Keeps Giving Exposition Dumps!!!
They say that when you really get good at writing, your characters write themselves, but I actually feel like my character is holding me back. You see, I have gotten this crazy idea to try to be clever and introduce plot elements into the world in a way that feels both natural and where the audience can follow. But I have this one character who, every time before I can introduce plot elements natu...
Nancy Drew in Europe
So I know the first few books of Nancy Drew are in the Public Domain in the U.S., but I was wondering what her status is in Europe. According to Wikipedia, the Ghost writer of the earliest Nancy Drew books, Mildred Wirt/Benson lived until 2002, meaning in countries with life + 70 years, none of the early Nancy Drew books would be Public Domain until 2073. But it seems that many countries in Europe...
Nancy Drew as a Griffin
Now that Nancy Drew is Public Domain in the U.S., a thought occured to me yesterday, what if I made Nancy Drew the main character of this griffin book I've been thinking of writing. I've been thinking about for awhile creating a book of some Griffins at a University tracking down some stolen Lightning Capturing Equipment, which they use for studying the various properties of lightning, which leads...
Dragon Fight!
Everyone knows dragons are magnificent and noble creatures, beyond the fault of indignity in near everyway possible; their scales impervious to all forms of damage. While dragons are not immune to pain, their scales absorb practically all the force of impact, leaving them virtually unharmed, even if their nerves remain receptive of the sensation. Because of this, a dragon can never be wounded, onl...

Chikn Nuggit Meets Hello Kitty! (Story)
These are the two chapters I've written so far, planning on more in the future :D **CHAPTER 1: CHIKN SUMMONS CUTENESS** "So if you're the Demigod of Chaos, can you summon whatever you want?" Onyn Ring asked. Chikn nodded, "Anything I want." Onyn Ring looked at Chikn, fascination in his eyes. "Show me." "Okay, I summon... Somethingย **cute**!" There was a flash of blinding light, like a lightning s...
Mom's been approved
My Mom told me to post this as she's been watching this subreddit for awhile, but she doesn't have a reddit account and I do. But anyway, she got her dual citizenship today (October 26, 2025), documents received in Dublin on January 20th, which as you may know, was Coronation Day in the U.S. ๐ญ; we were actually in Ireland at the time, visiting and seeing her Grandfather's homeland in person, an...
The Tale of Benny Badger - Audiobook
So I recently started working as a salad person on the North Slope of Alaska. While I'm on rotation days can be long. So I thought it'd be fun to take the time and listen to Audiobooks of books in the Public Domain while I work sometimes, while I'm spending time on long winded tasks where I don't have to be in and out of the room for awhile, and just listen while I cut the fruit or something for a...
The worst part about Indie Animation
You know what the absolute worst thing about Indie Animation is? Okay, I'm on YouTube, looking at my playlist for Indie-Animation projects I want to watch. I have other things to do, so I can't spend every waking second watching Indie Animation, all right. And yet, I have this playlist, and I'm not even halfway through watching it, and here YouTube is, recommending me animated project after animat...
Chikn Gets an Ouchie
"And Catch!" Hawt Saus said mockingly, tossing the bone off the screen. "Yes, yes!" Chikn panted, chasing after it, and arriving back a moment later, dropping the bone at Hawt Saus' feet. Hmm, apparently Chikn didn't get the hint. "And Fetch!" Hawt Saus said, picking it up and tossing it again. Chikn once again dashed after it and dropped it before Hawt Saus. Hawt Saus picked up the bone and looke...
Cheezborger's Request (Story)
"Cofi, can I ask you something," Cheezborger asked. "Sure, anything," Cofi replied. "This may sound kind of strange," Cheez continued, holding her paws together awkwardly, "But would you mind kicking me? Somewhere personal?" Cofi looked Cheezborger up and down. "You mean in the-" "Yes," Cheez answered quickly, before it got too embarrassing. "Well, I don't know why you'd want that, but if it's rea...
Anybody have any self-published animal books to recommend to me?
I'm about to make an Amazon Order, and thought it might be fun to see if anybody had self-published any books with an animal POV I can look at (specifically printed versions). Not going to make any promises, but I'm definitely up to checking them out.
I can't wrap my head around it.
Like, Mario Galaxy is happening, it's all real, all the worlds and adventures that I experienced as a child are about to be cannon in the Illumination Cinematic Universe. But what I can't comprehend, is Gru, Mack Mallard, Whats-'is-name from Secret Life of Pets, they are all going about their lives while somewhere out there, Mario is blasting across the Galaxy. How can this be? How can all our fav...
Labor Day - Part 1 (Story by me) [F]
Lylac could feel her anxiousness rising up in her stomach, it was Labor Day, her first Labor Day as an adult, and she wondered if perhaps she should have stayed home. Pretty much all of the Female Dragons of the Valley were going to be there today with their partners, and this was her first time she was of age, she had dreamed of going all her life, but the self-consciousness she felt as she waite...
Post to express your love for your "Special" Place (Discussion)
So we know our Special Place is Special, but what is so special about it, what makes us love to have it, love to share it with our partner (if we have one), is it the way it looks? Is it funny? The self-consciousness it gives us, knowing we exist with such a Thing? The way it makes us unique from certain others, sometimes even our closest partners if that is one's type? They can tease us and make ...
Will She Curse While She's in Labor (Story by Me) - Part 2
Cynthia tried to take deep breaths as she waited outside in the clinicโs waiting area to be admitted inside her laying room. Labor hadnโt started yet, but she could tell from the unsettling stirring in her stomach that it was getting close; she had got here as early as she could so she could be ready when it started. It was a quiet day in the labor ward and perhaps only one other dragon was la...
[F] Will She Curse While She's in Labor (Story) - Part 1
As Cynthia and Ruby made their toward the Dragon Clinic of the Great Dragon City of Glaction, they couldnโt keep the excitement out of their voices as they chatted together. โDo you really think the tests will say Iโm with eggs?โ Cynthia asked with enthusiasm. โI mean, do you think not?โ Ruby said humorously, โLook at your belly, either youโre with egg, or youโve just eaten somet...

So your partner gets to see your embarrassing place and there is nothing you can do to hide it...
...They think it's the silliest thing imaginable, and they get to tease you all night for having such a hilarious workabout. How do you hope they are teasing you, and what do you hope they're telling you to make you feel self-conscious (in a good way) about how amusing your workabouts are?
Dragons getting hit in the silly place
Dragons are magnificent and noble creatures, but I like to think of them as having some similar traits to humans, including some of the more embarrassing ones. There is nothing more amusing than seeing such a dignified creature scrunched up on the ground moaning because he was accidentally hit in his silly place. And then all the girl dragons get to laugh because they know it won't happen to them ...
I wish more girls genuinely liked balls.
I know some girls find balls amusing, funny looking or just plain gross, but I wish there were more girls who actually genuinely liked them, adored them even, their plushibility, their sensitivity when they accidentally get hurt, how they enhance the silliness of the existence guy anatomy, everything about them, maybe even find them a bit cute. They are plain and simply plushies, plushies for girl...
Planning on becoming an Executive Producer
I've always wanted to join the film industry from a very young age, and have always had a special love for animation. Unfortunately, in later years, I've come to realize that I'm not very skilled in animation, and I may not even be good at story telling in general, but I still want to be a part of finding unique ideas and helping to bring them to life. At my job, I've been able to save up a decent...
Reporter Tintin, Reporting from the Scene of the Crime
*Taken at the scene of the crime, our reporter Tintin interviews a girl named Alice who's cat had recently been murdered by a mysterious savage rodent.* TINTIN: Hello, my name is Tintin, Reporter for Le Petit Vingtieme, reporting on an incident that took place in this very town where an *Evil โ*Mickey Mouseโ was seen wrecking havoc on the citizens and taking the life of this little girl's cat,...

Question about country of origin
I've been seeing comments saying that Tintin is not actually going to be Public Domain in the U.S. in 2025 due to it not being Public Domain in Belgium which is it's country of origin and the U.S. being a signatory on the Berne Convention means that it's not eligible for Public Domain in the U.S. as long as it's not Public Domain in its country of origin. Is this in fact the case? As I've understo...

Tintin is becoming Public Domain, but how much?
So, as we all know, Tintin is becoming Public Domain in 2025, but how much. I know his journey to the land of the Soviets was serialized between 1929 and 1930, making approximately half of the story Public Domain next year. But where exactly is the cut off? In current releases, it seems everything is marketed at one volume that at least with what I've found, I have no way of telling which parts of...

Mickey Mouse in the Public Domain - Chapter 8
**A/N - Getting close to the end of what I worked on so far, so updates might slow considerably soon.** As Felix laughed, Oswald looked back at Mickey and Minnie confused. "What, was it something I said?" Mickey and Minnie shrugged. Well, he wasn't going to receive any support from his friends whatsoever. Oswald turned back to Felix and looked at him, "What? What's so funny?" Felix stopped and loo...
Mickey Mouse in the Public Domain - Chapter 7
**A/N - It should be noted that this might not actually be the 7th chapter in the finished version, but given that it's what I have currently written for now, for the purposes of this posting, it'll be known as Chapter 7.** The alarm went off bright and early the next morning, the sound of Mickey playing penguins as musical instruments. Now you might think this isnโt Antarctica, these are just s...

Mickey Mouse in the Public Domain - Chapter 6
Mickey, Oswald, and Minnie stumbled through the snow of the desolate peaks, following the map closely, but growing colder and colder as they went. โWe need to stop for the night,โ Minnie called out finally. Of course itโd be Minnie who surrendered to the elements first. Not very progressive if you ask me. 1928 girls, *sigh*โฆ But perhaps she was the more sensible one, because Oswald and Mic...
Mickey Mouse in the Public Domain - Chapter 5
Once they were finally far enough away from the danger to catch their breaths, Mickey took a deep one of them breaths. โI canโt believe that was me,โ Mickey said, โI canโt believe I turn out like that, I canโtโฆ Iโm not like that am I?โ โOf course not Mickey,โ Minnie said, โYou would never EVER turn out like that.โ โExceptโฆโ Mickey hesitated, โI did.โ Oswald just...
Mickey Mouse in the Public Domain - Chapter 4
Mickey leapt back in shock, Minnie gave an audible cry, Oswald just fell back and fainted. โClose the portal! Close the portal!โ Cried Minnie. But Mickey was too shock-still in horror at the prรฉjร vu that stood before him, he couldnโt do anything. The Mickey in the mirror licked his lips in appetization. He began to make his way toward them, his body crackly turning in its walk until it wa...
Mickey Mouse in the Public Domain - Chapter 2
Mickey looked at the rabbit before him; did he know this guy? He felt like he should, but he wasnโt sure. Oswald looked at Mickey cautiously, โYou should come with me.โ Mickey looked around at the deserted town. Seeing as there was no one here to consult with, following this rabbit made some sort of sense. So Mickey leapt down from the statue, Oswald gestured for him to follow, and off the t...
Mickey Mouse in the Public Domain - Chapter 1
**I've decided I'm going to start posting my WIP chapters from my Mickey Mouse book here as I've written them if that's actually okay with this reddit. I'm planning on getting it self-published when I'm done, but I don't think it's going to be fully finished by the end of the year, and since it's very much a 2024 experience, I want at least some of the story able to be experienced while the year i...

Anticipated Public Domain Tier List
I want to create a tier list and video ranking characters coming into the Public Domain within the next 10 or so years. I will probably be going up to 2035 so that should cover all properties made through the 1930s. The reason I'm posting this is because I'm wondering what you'd like to see me put on my list, because I know this covers a lot, and though I can't add everything, I want to miss as li...
Anybody get the feeling YouTube is capping their views?
I don't want to jump to conclusions or anything, but it just seems like every time I post a video that gets more views than normal, the views on my following few videos plummet. On average, I've been getting 100+ views per video, but whenever I post something that gets around 300 or more views, the next video I post seems to get less than ten, and then after that, maybe 50, and it's not until the ...
Copyright in a vast vast Universe.
You may have heard of the theory that goes something like this, that if you had an infinite amount of monkeys randomly pounding on an infinite amount of keyboards, most the content they come up with would be junk, but somewhere in there you might have Shakespeare. So that rises the question, the Universe is vast, possibly infinite. If the Universe is in fact infinite, doesn't that mean it's possib...
Excerpt from my Mickey Book
This isn't fully edited, so it's not 100% perfect yet, but I just wanted to share a bit of the story I've been working on to give a basic idea what I'm doing here: **CHAPTER 3** As Oswald led Mickey and Minnie through the library, he browsed the titles of public domain books, looking for the one he was looking for. Mickey looked at Minnie, and Minnie blushed bashfully. With all that had been happe...
Self-Published book error
So I have spent littererally three years working on this story, it started out as a fanfiction, but then I moved to separate it from the source material to make it it's own thing. I read through it, double checked multiple times to comb through any typos... And I just realized today, I've been spelling the word yolk wrong this entire time, I was spelling it as Yoke, and only ONE instance in the en...
Donner as Rudolph's Mother
So we all know that in the 1964 Rudolph cartoon, Donner is stated to be the parent of Rudolph, but in the 1939 book, Rudolph's parents are never actually mentioned (it even never implies Rudolph came from the North Pole in the first place). But the idea of Donner being Rudolph's parent is kind of feels staple in Rudolph lore (Donner is actually female in my interpretation, despite the name), so my...
My Mickey Mouse Book
I just decided last night I'm going to write a book called Mickey Mouse in The Public Domain. So, Mickey, now in the public domain, is uncertain about his future, and anxious about what he may become. So, he opens up a time portal to the future to see how he turns out, and an evil slasher version of himself comes out and starts attacking them all. Mickey now must team up with Minnie, Oswald the Lu...
Was Minnie Mouse ever actually refered to by name in 1928
I know that Minnie Mouse appears in the 1928 Mickey Mouse cartoons, but was she ever referred to by name in any of them or any promotional material? I know Mickey's name is right there on the title cards, and I'm guessing the people at Disney probably had named Minnie at least within the production company, but was she ever actually refered to Minnie publicly during that time, or did that happen l...
Anybody else feel like it's another Christmas Day?
We all know that Mickey Mouse became Public Domain today, but as you explore what other properties have become public domain, it's like opening another present and being plesently suprised what you find. For example, I knew books 4-5 of Hardy Boys were becoming Public Domain, but I just found out book 6 was released in 1928 as well. Already going good, but that 6th book is just an extra bonus that...
Mickey's Transcendance into the Public Domain (Story)
Mickey stood at the precipice of the unknown, a lifetime of stories behind him, a future of the untold ahead. "Are you ready?" Asked a voice behind him. Mickey turned around, and warm memories filled him as he faced his old creator. Tears of joy, Mickey rushed over to hug him. It had been so long, and Mickey felt the warmth of the embrace as he remembered all the times he had once shared with the ...
Top Five Properties to hit Public Domain before I'm 40.
5. Nancy Drew (2026) - Now that the Hardy Boys are public domain, it seems fitting when she'll be able to join them. 4. The Hobbit (2033) - While I'll probably never make an adaptation of Middle Earth, it'll be cool to have Hobbits as staple fantasy creatures like Dwarves and Elves, finally able to populate any fantasy world, not just Middle Earth. 3. Donald Duck (2030) - My favorite Mickey charac...
