Fan fiction is not allowed on this site, and there isn't an "official" site for it any more (it used to be allowed on the Mongoose rpg forums).From what i read in a rules/announcement, Paradox and CPI do not allow Fanfic to be put out commercially. that i understand. but is there a place, maybe in this board or someplace else on the internet, where people can(legally of course)write non-prfit/commercial fanfic? Also, say i write some at home, is that allowed, and if so, can i post a link so people on this board can see my work?

I believe you can post a link to your website as part of your signature.

Break the neck of a wild Cimmerian bull before you call yourself strong. I did that, before I was a full-grown man...!" - Conan, in "Shadows in Zamboula", by Robert E. Howard

Navigating the murkiness of Howard's poetry's copyright status has been tough for me. I would love to set some of his poems for orchestra and narrator and have no idea where to apply for permission to use the stuff. A long time ago I contacted Glenn Lord and he was very gracious and quick to respond positively. Then his troubles began and I was thrown into the copyright fray amongst competing parties. The piece of music that I did was never published with Howard's poems (Cimmeria and The Day That I Die) and I would like to return to it for commercial publication. Any addresses and/or contacts or info on who/what/where etc. concerning this poetry copyright permissions and status issue would be of great help to me. Thanks!

Probably this murkiness is a major factor in Howard's writing not being as universally appreciated as we would like. 
Heck, nobody's going to makea lot of money on his poetry, no matter what they do. Why not open that up, and hope that it "seeds" the public regarding his other works????

Hi Reber:
Paradox Entertainment owns the intellectual property rights to REH's stories and poems although some of them are in the public domain. If you have specific poems you would like to set to music, I recommend that you contact them. Here is their website link: http://www.paradox-entertainment.com/. There's a tab on the top of the page for contacting them. I'm sure Jay or godzilladude will correct me if I'm wrong.
I've found them to be very fair and cooperative. They've been a presence at Howard Days the last few of years and I've enjoyed meeting them. A very nice group of people.
Good luck. I'd love to hear the music you compose and see what poems you choose for that!

I tried through the website Barb and it failed, they never replied, but Jay did and pretty much guided me on the can'ts and cans of it all.
I received permission for the Miser's Gold but now I am animating it into a short cartoon, but it is using the story of the poem and expanding. I still feel I owe it to REH to ask for permission, even though it is far removed from the poem as it is.
