My Elric Fanart... Mike, what do you think of it?

I must say that I'm fascinated by all the different interpretations of Elric. This one seems very sensitive. Good stuff.

I thank you!

I apologize for replying so late but I didn't realize that you had replied back to this!

I was hoping you would like this picture of Elric, unfortunately, I have outlined it and coloured it, it looks much better but I don't have a picture yet...

I will post it soon though!

[Michael Moorcock]

Look forward to it...

If this has been covered before, I apologize. Related to fan art, what about fan fiction? I've had an idea ever since reading "Tales of the White Wolf". I'm also wondering if a follow-up to that anthology is in the works.

Greetings, Jackalope.
By the way, that image has been redone, so it looks alot better now that I've outlined and coloured it. I need to take an after shot of it.

I think that a fanfiction thread would be perfect! Lovely idea indeed!

Hi Jackalope, to take your questions in reverse order:

2. Tales of the White Wolf was followed by Pawn of Chaos, a similar anthology but one which featured other incarnations of the EC other than just Elric. However, Mike's said that he's not interested in doing any more 'shared universe' style anthologies, where other writers play around with his characters, like the White Wolf ones. Mike's also written somewhere here - (sorry I don't have the reference for you) - that he's not interested in farming out 'sequels' to his books by other writers. At least not until after he's dead.

1. Mike has previously responded to the question of (not-or-profit) fan fiction in this thread:

As long as my stuff isn't being actively plagiarised, I've never had problems with non-commercial uses of any of my characters or backgrounds. However, sometimes (as with D&D) those fan projects turn into professional projects and enthusiasm seems to turn to exploitation.
Generally, I tend to make agreements, these days, so that the material can't be passed off (as with Chaosium's unauthorised story lines).

You may like to check out The Enclave forum here, where members post their own work (Moorcock-related or otherwise) for 'peer review'. Unfortunately, Mike has a long-standing policy of not reading 'unpublished' stories - for obvious reasons - and is unlikely to see (let alone read) anything posted in the Enclave.
