    just in casse you've never heard of it, this is a cheap way to pretty much copyright something.

    first: create it. if it's a drawing, do all the angles and stuff involved in a character sheet. if it's a story, skip to next step.

    second: photocopy it. take the newly made copy, and put into an envelope, be it the manilla kind, or a normal dinky one.

    third: mail it to your self. when you get it, DO NOT OPEN IT. simply put, the date of the post mark is a federal date. thus proving when it was made. open only if dire need (law) says to prove it's yours.

    and there ya go. no going to a company if ya can't afford it. lol

    That is a cool way to beat the system. How often have anybody done this method of copy-right???
