Permissions questions by Meta on 2017-02-21 20:24:00 UTC Reply

Okay, so having been gone for a long time I've now returned and wanted to ask a question about permissions. I've spent a bit of time catching up with stuff and now my girlfriend is really interested in co-writing some stuff with me. (To be fair she's a better writer than I anyway.)

So my question is, does she need permission to co-write with me, or does it just carry under my own already approved permissions? I realise that in order to 'fly solo' as it were she'll need to get permission for herself, but when we're writing together using my agents is mine enough?

Cowriting with someone who has Permission is OK; it's assumed that the person with Permission can keep the other one in check, if needed. Of course, if your girlfriend would want to write on her own, she'd need to ask for Permission for herself.

I thought as much, just wanted to double check. Thanks.

Okay, first of all, welcome back! Returnbies are always nice. ^^
Anyway, as for your question, I'm not a PG (and don't even have Permission myself) so this is purely in my own opinion, but I think she'd also need Permission. It's granted mostly based on your own writing skills, after all, and that doesn't mean anything about what your girlfriend's writing is like. If she's a good writer, I guess it would be easy for her to get Permission, at least! Though coming up with your own Agents if you don't necessarily plan on using them much might be a problem, I guess.

Welp, ninja'd. Consider my point moot. (nm) by palindromordnilap on 2017-02-21 20:50:00 UTC Reply

When I started writing PPC missions, I cowrote with a friend who didn't have Permission, but was allowed to as long as I was writing with her. There was a stipulation that she would have to get Permission as well at some point in the future, but she left before that could happen. I know we've had other, similar arrangements in the past, too.

So I'd assume the same would hold true for your girlfriend. Good luck! :)
