Public Domain Notice!

Happy Public Domain Day here in the USA!

today, January 1st 2023 marks the day all works published in the year 1927 enter the public domain! This includes books, movies and music.

Here are a few of the most famous and important works entering public domain today:

The final two Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. You likely have heard something about this, while the character of Sherlock Holmes has been public domain for many years a handful of stories in Conan Doyle's last collection of Holmes stories, The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes, published in 1927 remained under copy right. The famously litigious Conan Doyle Estate Ltd has used it's control of these copyrights to pressure movie, TV, and even authors to pay them when using the public domain character of Sherlock Holmes or adaptations of public domain stories. Well finally the last of their copyrights have finally run out and you can publish a collection of all 56 Sherlock Holmes short stories (and 4 novels) if you want, or use elements from these final stories in your own Sherlock Holmes story and the Conan Doyle Estate Ltd can finally go fuck itself.

speaking of detectives, the first 3 Hardy Boys novels, The Tower Treasure, The House on the Cliff, and The Secret of the Old Mill are also entering public domain, as such you are free to include Frank and Joe Hardy in your own work of fictions, but be careful to stick to their characterization from these first 3 books.

other exciting books entering the public domain today are, To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf, Men Without Women (a short story collection) by Ernest Hemingway, The Big Four by Agatha Christie (big year for detectives huh?) Mosquitoes by William Faulkner, Twilight Sleep by Edith Wharton, The Gangs of New York by Herbert Asbury, Der Steppenwolf by Hermann Hesse, Amerika by Franz Kafka

in terms of movies one of the most famous silent films ever made and one of the most visually iconic, Metropolis directed by Fritz Lang will reenter the Public Domain, The American copyright lapsed in 1953 making the film widely available and allowing for versions with material that had been cut from the 1927 version to be published in the 1970s and 80s. However under an international copyright agreement the film was returned to copyrighted status in 1996. But Today it's back back back again in the Public Domain!

Other exciting films entering the public domain are The Jazz Singer the very first "Talkie", Wings the very first Academy Award for best picture (or "outstanding picture" as it was then) The King of Kings directed by Cecil B. DeMille, Sunrise directed by F.W. Murnau (his first American film!) and The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog first first thriller directed by legendary director Alfred Hitchcock

the musical Show Boat by Oscar Hammerstein II will also enter the public domain with songs like Ol’ Man River, the musical Funny Face, and Good News with songs like Funny Face and The Best Things in Life Are Free, stand alone songs (I Scream You Scream, We All Scream for) Ice Cream, Puttin’ on the Ritz, Potato Head Blues, Gully Low Blues, East St. Louis Toodle-O, and Mississippi Mud will all be free to the public today

Finally a piece of Disney history is entering the public domain. Oswald The Lucky Rabbit first appeared in 1927 and will be free to appear in works of fiction this year, a year ahead of his younger brother Mickey Mouse

Jeff Hardy x fem!reader diving off of a ladder to save him?

High flying || Jeff Hardy x Reader

Summary: Jeff is famous for being a high flyer. However, this time it's you who's diving off the ladder to save him.

The arena was pulsating with excitement as you and Jeff Hardy prepared for the tag team match. Your opponents were none other than the high-flying legend, Rey Mysterio, and the fierce Torrie Wilson. You couldn't help but feel a rush of adrenaline as you anticipated the action that was about to unfold.

The match began, and Jeff and Rey kicked things off, showcasing their incredible in-ring skills. The audience roared in anticipation of their legendary high-flying moves. It was a spectacle to behold.

After a series of breathtaking sequences, the moment arrived for your tag. You stepped into the ring, brimming with energy. Torrie was quick to tag in, eager to prove herself in the squared circle. The crowd was electric as the two of you began your contest.

However, as the match progressed, it became clear that Rey and Torrie were determined to outshine you and Jeff. They used every trick in the book to try to secure a victory, and Rey had Jeff set up for a potential match-ending move.

From the corner of your eye, you saw the peril that Jeff was in. Rey was about to execute a high-impact maneuver, and it could spell disaster for your partner. There was no time to think, just instinct.

You locked eyes with Torrie, your fierce rival in that moment. With the crowd's roar in your ears, you knew what you had to do. Climbing up the ladder alongside her, you grappled with Torrie, both of you fighting for supremacy.

But as you reached the top of the ladder, a glimpse of the impending disaster on the mat below sent a shiver down your spine. Rey was about to execute a move that could end the match, and your heart was in your throat.

Without hesitation, you made a split-second decision. Pushing Torrie away, you launched yourself from the ladder, soaring through the air in a daring, high-risk move. Time seemed to slow as you closed the gap between you and Rey, who was about to finish Jeff.

Your body connected with Rey's mid-air, the impact resounding through the arena as you thwarted his plans. The crowd erupted in astonishment at your audacious dive. The ring shook from the impact, and both you and Rey lay sprawled on the canvas, the collective gasp of the audience echoing in your ears.

The referee's count began, reaching its conclusion, and it was clear neither of you would make it to your feet in time. The match ended in a double count-out, a result that left the audience in awe of the risks you had taken.

While the match might have concluded in a draw, the arena was filled with cheers and applause for your fearless dive. You had put your body on the line to save Jeff from disaster, proving the depths of your bond both in and out of the ring.

As you and Jeff left the ring, battered but victorious in spirit, the audience's appreciation was palpable. The two of you walked hand in hand, knowing that this night's unforgettable moment would be etched into the annals of wrestling history.
