Great! I am very flattered that my work has inspired you to
write something similar. I started writing Sex Mage stories because no one else
was writing anything quite like it, and part of me kind of hoped others might
pick up the trend. While at this point, I do like that I am basically
“the” Sex Mage guy, I don’t mind other people also exploring the concept in
their own ways.
Ultimately, this being the internet. I can’t stop you from
writing and posting whatever the hell you want, in whatever way you want,
regardless of my consent. I do appreciate if you ask me first, but it isn’t
necessary. Even if you don’t ask, I’d like it if you let me know when you’ve
posted your work, so I can take a look at it myself. However, if you do decide
to do a Sex Mage story, if you respect me and my work, there are a few things I
would appreciate:
Credit Where Due
If you are directly copying the Sex Mage World and Sex Mages
template and various directly related concepts, then please credit me for the
concept. I would consider this to count even if you opted to combine my Sex
Mage concept with a different setting. You’d essentially be doing fan fiction
at that point, and naming your “source” would be proper etiquette in this
instance. The Sex Mages and Sex Mage World as a concept and setting is
something I’ve been working on and building up for years, it is my Intellectual
Property and Brand (however amateur), and I’d say I’ve earned the right to be
recognized for it as much as any author should be recognized for their specific
stories in a given genre.
Likewise, if you are directly borrowing concepts from other
Sex Mage style writers, such as PancakesForDinner (aka PFDee)’s Sex Powers
Universe, please credit them as well, (or instead, if you’re fully deriving
from them, and not from me). For example, the “Loops” and “Willy
Wanker/Procedure 501” techniques are specifically part of Pancake’s Sex Powers
set, not my Sex Magic set.
Otherwise, if I just inspired you to do your own magical
femdom idea, and you’re using your own similar, but original power set, then I don't expect credit, even if the end result is fairly similar in style and tone (such
as a world of Goddess Powers or Succubus Powers alla Gloryboy and MVGaius). If
you wanted to mention me as an
inspiration, that would be appreciated, but I won’t hold it against you if you
don’t.
What I Am Okay With
You may use the Sex Mage/Sex Magic power set and a basic
version of the Sex Mage World (all women have the Magic, there’s different
power levels, using the magic tricks like Boyboarding, etc.). Feel free to make
and explore your own Queendoms or how various pre-Queendom countries dealt with
the magic. Feel free to even use Sex Magic in combination with some of your own
ideas or settings.
I do encourage people to take the basic Sex
Mage concept and run with their own spin on it, if only to keep our works
distinct. I won’t ask/pressure you to, but unless you really want to replicate
my setting as is, I’d say feel free to find your own unique spin on it.
Pancake’s Sex Powers concept, for example, uses a different set of rules and
limitations compared to my Sex Magic, while Grey Savidge’s Chastity Island
world has Sex Magic confined specifically to the island nation of Castem. SexMageJenny posited a world where "Jenny" was the first Sex Mage, and all other mages gained their powers through her and her chosen followers. Even
I have a second version of the SMW in the form of Dellissa’s World.
What I Am NOT Okay With
Please do not use any of my specific characters from any
setting. Instead, please use your own original ones. If you absolutely must
write a character of mine, at least change the name. Chances are, your
interpretation of them will turn out differently anyway, so they may as well be
your original.
Likewise, please do not use any of my other erotic settings.
This includes, but is not limited to: Civero, Temael, Fount-Loche, the Centurions,
Jahi’s Invasion, Dellissa’s World, the Fae Lord Realms, Magic Lina, Zama (Seven Stars), etc.
Within the Sex Mage World itself, I would also appreciate if
people did not touch on the greater meta-lore that links the Sex Mage World to
these other settings, including the appearance of Temaelean, Civeron, and
Centurions characters on Earth. I’d also rather people not do stories
involving the Cults, the Cult Wars, the Special Task Force, or the Dark Queendoms. (I actually highly
doubt anyone is remotely interested in writing about these things, but just in
case.)
