Title: 7. Copyright Rating: PG Length: 200 words Competitor: Sabine Round/Fight: 2/C Summary: Kel asks Neal a question.
“Kel! Come in.” Neal opened the door wider.
Kel hovered in the doorway. “I just wanted to ask you a question.”
Neal leaned against the doorframe. “Yes?”
“That book I'm reading, about Lady Knight Sabine of Macayhill? It includes a lot of letters she wrote, but none that were written to her. I thought you might know why.”
“Um.” Neal considered for a moment, hair flopping into his face, and Kel had the urge to reach out and push it back.
Unbidden, she remembered a line from one of Sabine's letters. I miss the way your hair falls in your eyes, though I was always telling you to cut it...
“Here it is,” Neal said, picking up a book. “The ruling was passed in the time of Jonathan the Second: the author of a document, or his or her heir, is the only person who holds the right to publish that document.”
Kel sighed. “Which means what?”
“Your lady's nephew must have been her heir, so he could publish her words. But if he wanted to publish letters sent to her, he would have needed permission from whoever wrote the letters.”

So much detail in such a small space! The hair line/image was inspired. As was the idea that Neal would be the one to go to when requiring a brush-up on copyright law.

The little bit of Kel/Neal in here is cute!

I love the hair line, and Kel's curiousity. Good job!
