Hello !

I saw the ask you got about drama and copyright issues and maybe me feeling dismissive about drama stems from me just having being involved in theatre for years ??? I think casting is bound to cause some drama in the short term but i dont think anything long term will stem from it

Maybe its me being hopeful and having faith that the fandom based around a musical will be understanding of and respectful towards whatever casting decisions are made seeing as thats kinda just what happens in theatre????? Sometimes you dont get the part you want (if you even get cast at all) and it kinda sucks! But there will always be another opportunity. Shows will be put on again, and you never only have just one chance. Sure not getting the part you want is never and its okay to be sad about it, but sometimes someone else just fits the role better and theres not much that can really be done there. Id like to hope that everyone auditioning goes into it w an open mindset and will take whatever part they get w grace and treat casting like they would casting in a more traditional production (<- is a person who hasnt been active in online musical spaces in a few years. Take my words w a grain of salt i might not know what im talking about here)

If it does genuinely end up being a big issue though, maybe we could do smth w a cast a and a cast b ??? So that way more people get a chance to play a major character. It would be a lot more work as far as audio editing goes, but if theres enough of a want for it a second cast isnt impossible or anything. Itd honestly just take a bit more time to get out

As far as copyright goes thats! Iffier. Its weird and its wonky and itd be a bit of a pain but there are ways to deal w it

The easiest and simplest option is to only have the final version available to those who worked on it directly. No promotion, no making it public, just a fun thing for everyone who worked on it (and maybe their friends), and thats it. Itd be unfortunate to make a project like this so limited, but its the legal option that requires the least amount of effort 😔✌️

The other option would be to obtain the rights to put on the musical. I was curious about how much it would cost and after finding the copyright holders and filling out their mock form, it would come out to about 275 USD ????? Which is a lot! Thats a lot of money to pay out of pocket for a project that likely wont be monetized at all!

But, having said that, 275 starts to feel a lot smaller when you take into consideration how many people are interested in taking part. I think you mentioned about 30 or so people filling out the form??? If those 30 people individually contributed 10 USD (which is smth ive actually seen mandatory for a lot of non profit theatre companies and school shows) we would have some money left over even

275 is really only a lot if its just one person paying for it. I do 100% realize that having a cost would probably change this project a bit just by nature of real life money being involved, but i do still want to point out that its an option if youre willing to take it. Also i want to mention that the mock form said real prices might not be reflected. They didnt have an option for digital shows for where itd be put on, so if location impacts it at all 275 probably wont be the final cost 💔💔 (id like to hope the final cost would be lower though since it does assume the show in question is a more traditional in person show :') )

Also actually now that im thinking about it theres a secret third option which would be to combine the two???? Start out w it being just for everyone who worked on it but then put out a little interest check and fundraiser to see how many people would be interested in buying it. Kinda like what some physical print zines do but just w a musical instead! It would require putting a paywall on the final show which would also be kinda super unfortunate and a massive shame, but if enough people are interested its another way to deal w the licensing fees. Also if the project gets more money than the licensing costs maybe the leftovers could be donated or smth. Idk

Copyright is to me a much bigger issue than casting drama could ever be just bc of the legal issues it could bring up, but there are still definitely definitely ways to get around and deal w them ( ^^)b

(Btw @ the anon who kinda got me thinking about this and led me to send an ask in response, this is nothing against you !! I genuinely think bringing up copyright and potential dramas is a good thing to do especially so early on into a project like this. And running into copyright issues specifically could kill this project faster than anything else could tysm for bring that up genuinely :')

Also op sorry for such a long ask orz )

yeah casting will definitely raise some issues but there are after all only 8 major roles, you said it better than i ever will sjdjgkl also this is literally my first online musical space i got into bmc in like MARCH what am i doing

i actually have been thinking about doing an act 1 cast and an act 2 cast, but thats gonna raise the issue of finding two people with similar voices for one character so its not too jarring. we could totally do it but thats just more work for the casting people i feel. i mean if theyre up for it we could, again we'll just wait and see. there probably would be understudies too, and ive been thinking about having multiple voices for small sections of people who were squipped, like rich in the squip song, or jenna and christine in pitiful children/the play, even the creepy stock guy. there will be one "main" actor but maybe understudies will do underlying voices. will be a little more work for the editors so again we'll see

COPYRIGHT here we go. i really dont want to limit this project so the only option would be to pay. i did a tiny bit of googling and "Section 107 of the Copyright Act provides the statutory framework for determining whether something is a fair use and identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use." now if we were doing like one song then that would be fine, but we're attempting to remake the WHOLE THING, so i really think we might have to buy the rights which hm. wow.

i dont know if people are willing to pay 275 dollars for something that might not even succeed, so i think if we go through with this then we work on it first and see our progress. if it looks like we might succeed in actually doing the whole thing then we'll set up a thing for people to donate. to my understanding as long as we buy the rights we can release it to the public?? so as long as we get the 275 dollars we can release it, so it wont be only limited to the people who paid. but if we dont get enough then idk what to do with the money. maybe donate it or just wait until we hit 275. or we set a price and give it to the people who paid, sorta like a vip subscription or something

i actually have SIXTY RESPONSES as of now and its been at 60 for a while so if everyone gives 5 usd then we would have more than enough. ofc not everyone would be willing to pay tho so its really a gamble. i checked out the mock form too and are we even able to buy them if we're producing it digitally?? all that about ticket fees and average attendance if we cant even get the rights then theres no way we can release it to the public

im ngl i dont think i can do the actual licensing so we might need someone to handle finances specifically. also im not even a legal adult i really dont know if i should 💀💀 we gotta find someone responsible

YES everybody say thank you to anon for bringing problems up it would be bad if everyone got hyped only to realize we cant even do it

#bmcblr remake #and we REALLY need to prepare ourselves for not being able to do it at all #cause im like genuinely concerned we cant get the rights #if thats the mock form then the official form would most likely be the same right #we dont even have a location are we even allowed to buy them #unless we use danis connections and message joe iconis himself #idk how involved he would be but i think hes probably be pretty involved in licensing right #we're talking about LEGAL stuff and MONEY now this all started from a shower thought how did we get here #dont apologize for long asks!! they force me to think about problems i need to deal with earlier lmao #bmc #be more chill #be more chill musical #bmc musical

OOC.

i might add new muses eheh

#♡. 「 ooc 」 #and then i dont think im adding any more unless i have writing tingles #in all honesty im hesitant to add shi mei because ppl who reads 2ha esp dont know the true secret #haha _<--read unofficial translation before 2ha got licensed #but shi mei is batshit insane #prob craziest muse I've had so far #call me a bull cause i love his red flags BHREBFHJBHERF #but yeah im hesitant cause my rp-ing shi mei is prob the biggest spoiler for the entire 2ha novel #but whatever i'll just add him in #everyone will be warned in the muse page ehe #i realized at this point I may have a thing for black hair men

Customers are so fun, had one threaten to call the cops on me after she almost Ran Me Over, just because of a snotty look and a tap to her pickup

#vulpersonal #if I wasnt at work I would have called the cops for her #and take a picture of her license plate #but sadly I dont want to cause a scene when Im about to clock in

Is the next killer gonna be a fucking kaiju.

Are they gonna put a fucking scaled down kaiju into DbD the next major update.

Is that why the rift is like this. Is that what theyre doing right now.

They fucking better.

I want them to put a fucking knockoff Godzilla in here right the fuck now. I wanna see it. No balls. Give the bootleg jet jaguar motherfucker a butchers knife a shitty backstory and a worse tome story im ready for it.

#dbd #dead by daylight #i mean i dont know what the fuck else this toy theme is about #either theyre setting up for something its pure fucking randomness or they actually got the childs play license #and i wanna believe its either a super sentai or kaiju killer cause thats the main theme of the rift #idk. maybe im going crazy. ever since the wraith skin in the last rift that looks like the fucking prometheus aliens before xeno came out #ive started to keep my eye on these rifts. #the tome stories themselves have hinted at characters years before they were made #but maybe theyre gonna start to do the same with the rift rewards. #idfk #-salem

i've decided my main personal goal/resolution/whatever for 2023 is to start taking better care of my hair. mostly because i keep looking back at photos of me when i was younger and mourning the fact that my once curly hair is now wavy at best (except for the strands right in front of my ears, which are the only part of my hair that has retained a nice curl pattern and which torment me on a daily basis)

#nonsims #im forcing my mum to take me to the shops to buy some hair care products tm #oh wait that reminds me i also need to get my drivers license so i dont have to rely on my parents to take me everywhere.... #although i am a wee bit worried how my fringe is gonna look cause its very short at the moment #im worried its going to turn into an 1880s moment #although if i does maybe ill just run with it

my knowledge driving test is today and im so nervous :(

#i dont feel like im gonna pass #which is stupid because i can drive and i do it very safely #but like. its just that theres so much shit they want you to memorize that most people dont actually know/remember #and im just so nervous #ive done sooooo many practice tests and ive watched a billion videos #i read half the manual cause i couldnt get through all of it before bed last night #and im worried that because i didnt read through the whole thing im going to fail #my average for practice tests though is like a 90-95% #so like?? i should be fine?? #ive known almost every answer to every question thats been thrown my way #and you can literally miss 8 questions and still pass #but god. i am so fucking scared right now #i think i would be less nervous and it would feel less high stakes if i wasnt getting my license so i could drive #me and my partner to a concert three hours away from where i live in like two weeks #so my parents dont have to drive us #i dont think i would care about potentially failing as much regularly because the time frame wouldnt really matter #but it is time sensitive so im afraid #im also worried that my partner is gonna be disappointed in me if i fail and cant get my license in time #but thats a whole other thing #aiilov-personal

U know that post with like the feral little creatures and being like "I need to create art" or whatever I'm those little creatures but instead it's "I need to sleep" cause sleep is the only time I don't feel incredibly physically sick due to my driver's test on Friday.

Like I really want to reschedule it but my parents keep telling me to just get it done and over with. But like there's a whole unknown factor of idk what happens on the test and idk what the examiner is like. Like I'm good at driving and am responsible on the road... But I've never driven with a complete stranger in the car judging my every move. Like I feel like I'm gonna vomit every time I even so much as think about what day it is cause it reminds me of the test approaching.

Like there are infinitely worse drivers on the road with their license... I'm sure I'll be fine... But I can't account for how nitpicky my examiner might be or how well I do when nervous since I talk more the more nervous I get.

Like having my license would be great and I would be able to go and drive myself places... But at what cost? My own psyche?

Ughhhh I hate this and want 2 be asleep so I don't have to think about my impending doom.

#my parents constantly tell me im a better/safer driver than most people on the road #but my parents havent taken a driving test in so many years that they dont really understand why im nervous #cause i feel like i do things differently than is expected #i mean i get things done and done safely #but i cant account for what the examiner is gonna think of my driving #like whether i get my license or not is completely in their hands #like if they want to they could just fail me without taking my skill into account #people can be like that and i cannot control it #i hate not having any semblance of control it makes me feel sick #i feel like vomiting #send help #im 18 btw

Not to post about Marvel on main but i just watched the first episode of Ms.Marvel and i have never fucking related to a character more what the fuck

#msmarvel #mcu #the whole bismillah before driving thing #while i dont have my own drivers license yet my parents do that #i felt personally called out when mr wilson said kamalla drew a lot in class and got distracted easily #the whole hating to go shopping for events thing #the gossipy aunts #however i am disapointet that they got the greeting wrong its 'salem ailekum-ailekum selam' you switch the words around #also apologies for any wrong spellings i'm only used to saying those not writing them #kamallas relationship with her parents just felt like a punch in the gut cause i know exactly how she feels #her dad even looks a bit like mine #also her trying to make a cosplay thats not to tight and her mum telling her not to walk around half nacked like the other girls #i felt so bad for her when she said her necklace was her name in arabic to that one girl cause same #i have a similiar eye necklace and know what its like talking about islamic stuff to non-muslims #they dont say outright discriminatory things but the looks they give say all #i am also quite proud of myself for guessing correctly on what the terms for family mebers like beta and abba mean cause they're a bit #similiar to the ones in turkish #i only got nani wrong #dia rambles #on a side note i am a bit confused on her powers #apologies for the ramble in the tags i had to let that out

I hate my city's public transport system and I hate that I have to rely on it

#it has zero funding so everything's constantly breaking down #and that caused me to be late to my 8 am today #and by late i mean by an HOUR #and there's only like two buses that are actually disability accessible #and the main majority of the routes are on the OPPOSITE SIDE OF TOWN #the one that stops at my apartment complex doesn't even run on the weekends or in the summer #and you may be thinking #why dont you just drive? #i can't #i have a seizure disorder that causes me to have them so frequently that i cant drive without the fear that ill have one on the road #we dont know what it is but thats a rant for another day #also #i cant afford a car #and i dont have my license #if i wanted to get to another stop id have to walk across a whole ass highway #so yeah its awful #and i wish people cared more about public transport here
