### Creative Commons License Plan
To present my fan fiction based on "The BFG," I would consider using a Creative Commons license to allow others to share and adapt my work while ensuring I receive proper attribution. I might select a license such as CC BY-NC (Attribution-NonCommercial) which lets others remix, tweak, and build upon my work non-commercially, as long as they credit me for the original creation.
### Ethical Considerations
1. **Respecting the Original Work**: It's important to honor Roald Dahl's original themes, characters, and messages, ensuring that my fan fiction does not distort or misrepresent the essence of "The BFG."
2. **Attribution**: Properly crediting the original author and acknowledging that my work is a derivative inspired by "The BFG" helps maintain transparency and respect in the creative community.
3. **Audience Sensitivity**: Being aware of the audience's connection to the original work—especially since "The BFG" appeals to children—ensures that my content is appropriate and considerate of the younger audience and their guardians.
### Legal Considerations
1. **Copyright Law**: Since "The BFG" is a copyrighted work, I must be cautious about how I use the original elements (such as characters and specific phrases) in my fan fiction to avoid infringing on Roald Dahl's copyright.
2. **Transformative Use**: I need to ensure that my fan fiction qualifies as transformative—that is, it adds new expression or meaning to the original work, which can help in defending my work as fair use (though this varies by jurisdiction).
3. **Commercial Use**: Since I plan to use a Creative Commons NonCommercial license, I must avoid any monetization strategies that could violate the terms of the license or attract legal issues related to commercial use of copyrighted material.
