Members jcar03 Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 I guessing that stuff doesn't make it to them either. There are people who shift through all the mail that comes in and ideas for story are probably tossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bandbfan Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 Lol there's probably tons of it that are from people wanting this or that. (Or there probably was back when soaps were more popular). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Actor87 Posted June 29, 2008 Members Share Posted June 29, 2008 My first fan fiction had a cop by the name of Dallas in it for a short term role. Months later, a cop named Dallas showed up in the real Oakdale (on ATWT). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 Because sometimes they want to see the reaction about certain stories etc. I doubt they look around forums and blogs for inspiration. About the "getting sued issue". Even if they did read boards and used some stuff they liked then how could anyone prove it to be theirs from the beginning? Why would any writer admit they went on a message board and got inspired by something the read there? That would be a pretty dumb move. Actor87. I don't know what you want to say with your post but I doubt TPTB at ATWT read your fan fiction and thought "Hey Dallas would be a great name for the new cop we're bringing in."

Members MarkH Posted June 30, 2008 Members Share Posted June 30, 2008 I actually speculate that there are TWO former writers, both of competing soaps, on SON. But unlike you all, I know NOTHING. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Actor87 Posted July 2, 2008 Members Share Posted July 2, 2008 Did I ever say that? Noooo. I just always found it comically ironic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
