What's the consensus on sharing passages from a novel to social media? Not major spoilers, but like really good passages or quotes?
Is it an insult to author? Is it copyright infringement or looked down upon?
Cause I really need to talk about two passages to someone, heck, ANYONE, from Foundryside.
Just attribute the heck out of it.
And put a link to purchase the book.
Also make sure to note the difference between the quote and your take on it.
You're good to go.
@Hobyrim as long as quotes are properly cited most authors will not care. Especially weeks after publushing
@Hobyrim from a two-year-old book? You might make some ofnus consider buying it.
@butch I am gonna do a full on review on it soon (like we don't know if I liked it ππ).
The biggest problem I have is that I want to devour this book but I also want to savor it so I have limited myself to a chapter or two a day.
@Hobyrim It is a common, legal, and expected practice to share portions of others' works for purposes of commentary and criticism, among other reasons. It is "fair use". https://www.copyright.gov/fair-use/more-info.html
