Am I allowed to do this series???

Hi!

This is a question for the Scratch team.

I've found out only yesterday about this guy named [removed by Moderator - please don't use names], a cyberbully whom many users hate. I want to make a series based on this (even though I don't know much about this!!) The series is going to made to show people being bullied what the bully may be going through and how to protect yourself, and also to show any bullies out there how people feel. I myself have never experienced any of this cyberbullying stuff, but I want to try to help.

So my question is:

Am I allowed to make a series based on [removed] and that sort of stuff? I'm not going to use the name [removed] but I am going to change names. I am also not going to do everything exactly, but I will do things how they might have been done.

So could you please reply, Scratch team, and let me know?

Thanks!
Scarstar999

I don't see any problem except that bullying may be a sensitive topic for some users.

I don't see why not. But, you may want to do some research. Actually, I would love if you'd post it on my forum, storynet. In my signature. I can't wati for the finished product.

Oh...well if you make this into a story I mean.

Hi Scarstar999!  Your project idea sounds very interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing it.  Just be sure that you don't use any actual Scratcher's names in the project as it might be embarrassing or cause bad feelings.  Thanks!

It seems like this would be something you can do as long as you don't use names. I would love to see the first chapter or section or whatever the first part of your series is.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, but I wanted to be sure. Anyway, I think the Scratch will be more experienced in this type of thing. Thanks anyway! ;P

No, but I'm working on it. I'm such a bad animator!
