Poetry
The poetry on this website is the property of Gabriel Gadfly, unless otherwise noted. You may reproduce any poem published on this website on your own blog or website, but you must include a link to http://gabrielgadfly.com with the poem, and the notice "This poem © Gabriel Gadfly." In cases of poems written by authors other than Gabriel Gadfly, the respective author of the poem decides their own use policy; check with the respective author before using the poem in question.
You are welcome to cover any poem by Gabriel Gadfly in a live performance or recording (either audio or video), so long as you specify that the poem in question was written by Gabriel Gadfly and include a link to http://gabrielgadfly.com.
You are not permitted to earn an income from your use of a poem written by Gabriel Gadfly; if you intend to earn an income from your recording, performance, or reproduction, whether through donations, file sales, CD sales, or any other form of income, you must contact Gabriel Gadfly for consent first and to discuss the author's cut of your profits. Finally, while optional, I would appreciate it if you would notify me about your use of my poem, so I can link to it.
Translations
If you possess the ability to do so, you are welcome to translate any poem, short story, article, or other content on this site into another language. I do ask that if you can't translate the piece accurately, please don't try -- I'd rather there be no translation than bad translations. If you've translated any of my work, please Contact me so I can get a copy to host on this website. At the moment, I cannot offer any form of compensation for translations except my gratitude and potentially a link to your website.

By contributing content to this website, you agree to maintain a civil, respectful tone. While I do not have a problem with occasional profanity, excessive profanity or offensive language may be used as grounds to edit or delete a piece of user-contributed content. You agree to refrain from making personal attacks against another use of this website.

Given the nature of this site, discussion of my content will inevitably occur. Users are welcome to speculate or attempt to predict what will happen next in any of my work, but be aware that I am under no obligation to compensate a user for successfully predicting any element of my content. Further, I am under no obligation to compensate a user for providing an idea from which I derive inspiration to write something. This policy is not intended to stifle discussion of my work, but is merely here to preserve my interests.
