I don't know how many people are aware, but I'm trying to help Ms. Joyce with some things involving the site. Part of that help includes organizing new authors and/or books to come out on Doppler.

Well, we have a great writer lined up to join the ranks of those we've helped get published, but there's one problem: one of her stories, quite an excellent one, that she wants to publish uses the Altered Fates/Medallion of Zullo universe.

And thus, the rights game begins!

I've scoured our little section of the internet (read: spent about half an hour searching stuff,) and it doesn't seem that Jennifer Adams is active anywhere any more, nor is the only email address I've been able to find for her functioning. Heck, last time I see her having posted anywhere was like 2008, which has some Bad Implications, but also might mean absolutely nothing, given it's the internet.

As such, I'm reaching out to our community here for help!

1. Does anyone personally know Jennifer or what has become of her?

2. What I've found of the rules for AF/MoZ says nothing about book publication rights. If anyone knows of a more up-to-date *official* listing for the rules that clarifies this, it would be helpful.

3. If none of this works out... how would folks feel about helping us work up a drop-in replacement for AF elements to remove the question of universe rights from the equation?

Right now, question 1 is the big priority, since it's the best option of the 3. Question 2 would be nice to have an answer to, but depending on where/who the rules come from, might not be binding enough to actually mean anything. Number 3 is a last-ditch resort, but if the first two fail, might be a good option for the community as a whole, since an entirely "open source" option would let more than just us spread stories about.

Thanks for y'all's help with this, I appreciate it!
