@wildvine, @owie, or @bumpyboo: Would you be so kind as to please pin this to Fan-Fic, and unpin the CCC 141 contest thread? Thanks. :)

Slick, by Brad James Glenn

Character Viability

There are several "Slick" characters listed on Comic Vine:

As seen by the multiple uses already, it's reasonable to assume that multiple creators could come up with similar ideas for the name, independent of each other. Therefore, I'd say it's viable as an Open Source Character.

About "The Paragraph":

Note: Many Open Source Characters (Objects, Teams, etc.) have a requirement that is generally known as "The Paragraph." Basically: its purpose is to keep everyone honest that these new concepts are in the Public Domain. It requires you to include The Paragraph anywhere you use them, letting people know who created the OSC, and that it is available for all to use. I've used my own, modified version of The Paragraph for these blogs to (hopefully) make it clearer what is available, and what is not.

I do this whether the original OSC post requires it or not, because I think it is important for everyone, especially if you are integrating Open Source properties with your original properties, to differentiate between the two. My theory being the clearer you make it, the less legal hassle there will be as time goes on.

Thanks. -cb

Country, by Chris Bishop

Character Viability

There is a "Country" character listed on Comic Vine:

It's in the dictionary, it's generic, and it has obviously been used by another creator already, showing that multiple creators can come up with different ideas for the same term, independent of each other. Therefore, it's viable as an Open Source Character. Just make sure your version isn't like anyone else's version.

Basically: its purpose is to keep everyone honest that these new concepts are in the Public Domain.
