Worlds with Kindle, Amazon wants to monetize fanfiction - Numerama

Since its launch, the Kindle Store has steadily expanded to sell more content. First opened to the novels, digital Amazon store then welcomed newspapers, magazines and, more recently, news and short stories. Today, the e-commerce giant is interested in fanfiction.

Stories amateurs of varying quality, fanfiction (or fanfics) are stories “ some fans write to extend, amend or even totally transform a media product they love, it Whether it’s a novel, a manga, a television series, a film, a video game or a celebrity , “says the Wikipedia article devoted to the phenomenon. In graphics, talking about fanart.

These adaptations are very popular in some communities that coalesced around a particular universe. There are, for example, tens of thousands of written adventures featuring characters from Star Wars, Harry Potter, Batman … These remixes are not always accepted by the authors of these imaginary worlds, not to mention that these creations problems copyrights.

Amazon Kindle with Worlds idea is simple: it is to be a sort of bridge between the heirs of a work and its fans. The electronics giant intends to sell the works derived from a particular universe fans. The money collected will then be shared between the person entitled, Amazon and the fan who has written the story. And along the length of the story, the fan will be a percentage higher or lower.

Between 5000 and 10,000 words, the aspiring writer will receive 20% of the amount. These short stories are usually sold less than a dollar (0.99 dollars). Over 10,000 words, the fan will increase the share to 35%. According to Amazon, the selling price will often be between 0.99 and 3.99 dollars. By cons, it is not clear whether it is possible to split a story for sale by chapters.

Those agreeing to participate in the program established by Amazon should be aware that they cede all their rights on Amazon fanfiction published under Kindle Worlds. Furthermore, all the stories will not be accepted: pornographic and erotic stories and stories incorporating offensive content (racism, violence, vulgarity …) will not be tolerated

.

also works infringing intellectual property, delivering a “low user experience ” or naming excessively marks will be rejected. Ditto for content involving crossovers (write a history of the universe combining different characters, such as Luke Skywalker and Harry Potter). Creativity must navigate between all these constraints.

First, Amazon has signed agreements with three world very popular, especially in the United States. This is Gossip Girl (Cecily von Ziegesar), Pretty Little Liars (Sara Shepard) and Vampire Diaries (LJ Smith). These three literary works were the subject of a television adaptation and are especially produced by Warner Bros.. Other licenses will be added in the coming months

Kindle Worlds platform to be launched in the U.S. in June.

World Kindle: Amazon launches the publication of "fan fiction" - Clubic.com

Amazon has launched Kindle Worlds, a new element in the Kindle ecosystem, which allows amateur writers (or not) to publish fiction inspired by existing franchises. A well rehearsed on paper approach.

On the Internet, “fanfiction” means stories generally written by amateur authors, inspired universes existing in parallel and informal telling stories. This trend, which has been a long time, was previously reserved mainly for other sites and forums bringing together fans of film franchises, television series, novels or video games. But now it takes with Amazon and Kindle Worlds.

New service, launched on Wednesday in the United States at first, allows authors to fanfiction based on certain licenses, to offer for sale on the platform Amazon Publishing. The retailer, which serves here as a publisher, will ensure that the publication complies with certain conditions – mixtures of such franchises are prohibited, as are the stories of a sexual nature – and donate royalties to beneficiaries partners licenses .

Amazon reserves the right to fix the price of the publication, which will be located between 0.99 and 3.99 dollars. The editor adds that for a publication of 10,000 words, 65% of this amount will be returned to the author, who is legally in return for the fee paid to the beneficiaries.

Among the licenses to open this type of publication, there is at present Pretty Little Liars , Gossip Girl and Vampire Diaries , TV series targeted primarily at women, whose rights are owned by Warner Bros..

time public, Amazon reserve this service in the USA, without specifying whether the account open to other countries. I bet that the rights to be complicated to manage, and the e-tailer has gauge interest for this new before exploring other territories.

Worlds Kindle: Amazon addicted to fan fiction - Actualitté.com

This is a new pavement laid in the sometimes stagnant pool of creative writing, and a bold project that offers the Amazon giant. With its new Kindle Worlds platform, the e-commerce giant has to reconcile authors of fan fiction and assigns, while monetizing the creations of amateurs. And created a new market sector.

Once again, the idea is awesome and bold approach. To grasp the full extent, must be familiar with fan fiction : stories of varying length, which include the characters of a series, a film, a book or a video game, in short, a world author develops an amateur hobby. Usually shared through forums, these new and sometimes fanciful stories are very successful, especially as some are particularly inventive.

So far, the practice was tolerated by the beneficiaries, to the extent that the stories were not sold. And this is Amazon arrives with a doubly attractive proposition: the site offers enthusiasts earn royalties by selling their story, and to pay the rights holders. Everything becomes perfectly legal.

rates are fixed at the moment 35% of the total price for the works of more than 10,000 signs, and 20% for those below this figure. The platform will be launched in the month of June.

Amazon purchase in advance licenses different worlds in which it is possible to write. For now, three licenses have been paid by the e-commerce site, all in the lap of Warner Bros. Television: Gossip Girl , by Cecily von Ziegesar, Pretty Little Liars , by Sara Shepard and Vampire Diaries , by LJ Smith. Three sets extremely followed, and unleashed passions.

Including that of writing, no doubt …
