This is an update of sorts on our Terms of Use, specifically in regards to conversions of our TS2 creations to TS3.
If you'd like to convert something of ours from TS2 to TS3, we now ask that you
please contact us and ask before you do. It's best to either
PM me here on Dream Width or
GoS.
gelydh can be reached via
PM here on DreamWidth or
GoS. We're horrible at checking our site email, so PM is definitely the way to go.
By contacting us to get the go-ahead on a conversion, we can let you know if it was something we'd already planned on converting ourselves. Furthermore, we have a lot of on-going projects at any given time which may or may not get previewed, so it's possible we've already started work on something anyway.
Secondly, if you're given the clear to convert,
we ask that you clearly give us credit for the original creation on the same page as your TS3 download. I know conversions aren't exactly easy, but a lot of work went into making the original TS2 item as well. We're not asking for our names surrounded by blinking lights or an opera written about how fantastic we are, just something as simple as 'originally by aikea/gelydh/club crimsyn' would be great.
We don't want people to
not convert our stuff, we'd just like to streamline things a little. We've always kept our TOU very open, so we hope that you'll do us the favor of respecting these changes. Also, this obviously doesn't affect those of you who are creating for TS2.
Later today we'll be rewriting and moving our TOU over here. There won't be any major changes, we just want things cleaned up a bit. ^_^
