Cyclone Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Even if the idea is new it cannot be protected. Copyright just covers the words that you wrote, not (as L00b already said) the plot or storyline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karis Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I wasn't talking at all about copyright, only that it's far more important to concentrate on delivering a top class manuscript and getting genuine feedback from impartial readers than it is to protectively keep it to yourself out of fear of your ideas being stolen. I can't count the number of times people have refused to show me their manuscript out of fear of it being 'stolen' (by me). Then, when the rejections come flooding in and the manuscript comes to light, it's littered with typos, basic errors, and grammatical mistakes - their "god's gift" manuscript is basically unpublishable.
