Well, heidi-ho, chumps! Ol' Lynnie, you know, the great Einstein who created me in all my sarcasm and so forth, was thinking rather hard on the subject of copyrights and so on and all that credit jazz, and so she yelled at me to redo this thing. She gave me all that "I brought you into this Forest and I can take you out of it" crapola, which of course I could really care less about, but, she DID do me the favor of bringing me into this Forest... well, I GUESS it's a favor... After all, I do get the privilege of scaring everyone that's bored enough to come in here.. heehee.. What..? I'm digressing? Hey, shut up! This is MY space, I'll do whatever I dang well want with it, and besides, if I WANTED your opinion, I would have GIVEN IT TO YOU! Now silence, mortals, before I get hungry and decide to have you for a snack or something like that. Anyway, back to what I was saying..
Okay. Now, as some of you may or may not know, when the RainCrystal was innit's sweet little infancy, it was not quite so big, and there was not exactly a bunch of original art or whatever in it. But, this place has (Lynnie hopes) advanced over the months (and so has my stomach, heheheh..), so there's lots of nice neat stuff that _I'm_ stuck with giving the credit for. Well, let's begin. First and foremost, Secret of Mana, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy, and all other Squaresoft games Lynnie takes it into her mind to mention and all related indica are copyright of Squaresoft. Her opinions do NOT reflect Square's, and she is in NO WAY affliated with Square, so on an so on. All fan-fiction and original characters/ideas created FOR that fan-fiction are copyright of one Ms. Courtney Lynn Bollinger, 1997. If anyone wants to use WAI or any other fan-fiction on this site, feel free to do so, but you 'ad better give the proper credit and DO tell Lynnie about it because she would like to know where her stuff is being placed. RainCrystal Forest and all its inhabitants, places, pathways, ideas, etc are also copyright Ms. Courtney Lynn Bollinger, as well as the poetry and stories on the Ancient Tree. All text is ALSO copyright Ms. Courtney Lynn Bollinger. The headers for all pages where originally created by Ms. Courtney Lynn Bollinger, except for the lettering on the main header, which was done by Crow, and the heading for Lynnie's Journal, which was retouched by Calli of Calli's World. The Lady Lyn was drawn especially for Lyn by Lady Jennifer, the Mothgirl. The SoulBond graphic was also created by Jen, and BOTH graphics are the property of Lyn and copyright Jen. Hmmm.. What else? The Dragon scratches his head with a claw Uhhh.. Oh, ya. All the art in Riddloran's Hallway (man, that guy is weird. I'd eat him, but I don't think I bear those nasty robes or that crystal ball he has pratically GLUED to his hand..) not taken unceremoniously from the UOSSHP cannot be taken from there without permission, it is original artwork done by friends/members of the JFW. All art copyright its original creators.
Illustrations created for WAI are the creation and copyright of Kristen George. Got it? Kelli picture property of Ms. Courtney Bollinger and drawn by Crow for Ms. Courtney Lynn Bollinger. Animated Riesz icon and Mana Tree background taken from TomPage. Uh.. Graphics on Amia's page are the creation of Vikimouse from the Mousepad, and the little blue dragon which I guess is supposed to be a reasonable facimile of me and the bullets on the List were made by Grapholina. The Swirly Line, Staff Line, faerie, wand, Tree background etc. were made by Mana knows who, and if anyone call tell Lyn the original creators, she will quite willingly give credit. If you have a background you tink Lyn might like to use, send it to her, but she only uses foresty-leafy type backgrounds because, after all, this IS a forest..
Now, if you've gone through the forest and it inspired you to make a page kinda like it or redo the page kinda like it (as in, make it story centered), please tell Lyn so she can go look. And please, fer MANA'S dear sake, don't COPY the RainCrystalll and say it was all your ideaa! That will cause me to become very callous and rude and nasty indeed, and I'm sure you chumps can see I'm already a colossal grouch anyway. So don't WORSEN my normally terrible mood by being a copyperson. It's just rude. Thank you and have a rainy day. Now, get outta here before I get hungry.. and you'd BETTER NOT BE A LAWYER!
Oh, and if you don't know who Ms. Courtney Lynn Bollinger is, you obviously the biggest idiot on the face of all three planets of Lumana, Seivin, and Earth, or you haven't fully explored the RainCrystal. For shame.
