U.S. Copyright law is quite explicit that the making of what are called "derivative works" -- works based or derived from another copyrighted work -- is the exclusive province of the owner of the original work. This is true even though the making of these new works is a highly creative process. If you write a story using settings or characters from somebody else's work, you need that author's permission.

2. The reasons he claimed were not the ones described in his post. If he had given me that motive, I would probably take it off. The reasons he gave me were insultive and envious. Somewhat childish, I should say.

3. The only truth in the post: I refused. For many reasons I didn't and I don't bother to explain why. He knows.

[4c.] But it's for the other reasons you don't know. ;) But i'll take them off if asked again in this thread, by the author.

[5]I've asked permission to host all files in the BoAC site to the respectives authors, including Kelandon.

6. There are other false claims that I won't address, because I won't bother about it.

7. You should know both side's stories and reasons before making your judgement.
