It’s actually not AS funny as it seems: It’s crazier.
For those who have actually played the game, theres a huge fine print thing you have to sign, and if you read through it, it actually says that everything posted on the site is immediately released by the creator as the property of AMC, which, insanely, means if they use the entire plot of your stupid fanfic game as part of the show, they don’t need to credit you ever.
It’s actually a genius way to try and DISCOURAGE independent fanfic, replacing it with a place where the corporation owns and censors everything you make without credit.
If you post something in a normal fanfic, there is some legal precedent for your ownership if your work is plagiarized by the canon production, but the app is one step ahead.
However, I just spent 5 bucks to release a popcorn treat through the live chat for a whole flock of chickens on the other side of the world in a different hemisphere, and I got to watch them enjoy it live.
