Legal Advise Offer to QAF fiction Writers

[denvercatmom.livejournal.com]

I want to offer legal assistance to anyone who is interested and is writing QAF fiction so your fiction might be more realistic. I can't give specific legal advice but I can tell you what would/could happen in a legal situation you are writing. I am an attorney in CO but a lot of basic stuff is essentially the same in most states.(Louisiana is different).Simply send me a note to qlegal@q.com and I'll get back to you asap. A credit in your stories would be nice. Please no stories about Gale, Randy, etc. They're real people and I would be uncomfortable advising about them. Mods: Please delete if this is outside the rules. I couldn't really tell if it was or it wasn't.


There is obviously a lot of confusion about this post. I meant I would give advice about legal issues in a story you are writing about Queer As Folk. I am not allowed to give legal advice about your personal issues. The offer was made to help make your fiction more realistic. 

Mods and everyone else, I am so sorry for the confusion this has caused. Please take this down if you feel it would be best.

Well, that's true and not true at the same time. You can apply for grants or at least I was informed I could as long as I provided proof (from so many sources it made my head ache) that I was living alone, how long I lived alone, and that I did not receive any help from my parents. There were many strict rules on who could be considered a "reliable" source and IIRC they had to be notarized. (This may not be the case or they could have changed the rules as it's been years since I was 20.)

However, the second I mentioned to recently having a child...well that automatically made me an "adult" and I could apply without having to provide my parent's income on any of the forms. I thought that was very screwy because I had been on my own since 18, but after having my daughter at 21 I was then considered an adult able to take care of myself and did not have to go through that mess again? *facepalm*

Part of the reason why I'm worried about transferring from one college to the next. The one I currently go to isn't too bad on costs, but the one I will have to start attending next semester charges almost double... (Which is why so many of us try to do our courses at one to save some money because grants can only offer so much help.)
