Hey Greg!!
Um, I have a question about doing my own kind of gargoyles story. But I want to make sure that the characters I'm thinking up don't mix too much with Disney and what you came up with. Is there a way I can email you, or you email me, so I can maybe get some interesting ideas or even some council? This is something I would like to do as maybe a comic book series or something. Or maybe just a book series with a lot of illustrations. Kind of like a teen book, or even an adult book or something. But without the unnecessary adult material which I consider sacred and unneeded in todays hideously over-rated Hollywood. It's so hard to see movies these days because there aren't any good ones to see.
Anyway, my email is Marie Destine@aol.com. I'm not sure at this point if there is anythin at all that I will be able to do. This is just an idea at pressent that I want to explore and hopefully make a reality. So, if there's anything more you need to know about the ideas I have so far, or wouldn't mind giving me some tips I would appreciate it. I just figured I should ask you what is the best course to take because you are in the business and I thought that you might be the best person to ask.
So anyway, any help you could give would be great.
Thanks in advance!! ^_^

I don't think I can be of much help, and I'm not too clear on what you have in mind anyway.

Gargoyles (generic) unrelated to Disney's property are certainly fair game. But, frankly, I'm not about to help you with what in essence would be competition TO my work, inspired at least indirectly BY that work.

Gargoyles based in any way on the series would get you in major trouble with Disney, assuming you didn't have their permission. And again, I'd love to be writing books based on the series. So we'd be competing.

And in any case, I make it a policy not to look at other people's ideas, to protect myself legally.

Sorry.
