Previous generations had popular characters and tropes they could work with, but ours are copyrighted. You can't write a story about Kirk and Spock without Paramount's permission.

I think I've read someone writing about this...it may even have been you. Yeah, it’s funny. Previous generations had popular characters and tropes they could work with, but ours are copyrighted.
