I finally managed to get decent pictures of my two CPs... I should be sending them soon but before, I just want to know if I need to copyright my stuff? (I'm really not sure about that)

Sunburst, I really don't know, but I think there is some kind of natural copyright on every diagram.

Angrydemon, I'm sorry to hear that you have been ill. The diagrams are looking really good though.

Big thanks to everyone participating.

Your stuff is copyrighted already. That's how copyright works... you don't have to register it like you do with Patents or Trademarks. By creating the material, you automatically copyright it, unless you choose to release it into public domain.

Theorically it is true. The problems come when someone steals your work and you have to prove that you have been the first that have done/written/sing/drawn etc that stuff.

watermarks or logo on your photos could be a good starting point.

I have my submission!!!

Flying Hercules Beetle
I do hope the cp makes sense though, lately I've been drawing the whole pattern on only one side and a less detailed one on the other.

That is very typical of CPs. It can help a lot with complex patterns since it can be hard to see the basic structures sometimes.

When you said the deadline was December 15th, did you mean the instant it becomes the 15th, Austrian time, or do we have the full day?

I could submit my CP right now but I'm frantically trying to get the diagrams done. I really want to finish them but it might be down to the wire!

The full day, and I won't count the minutes if something arrives a bit later.

PS: Read your PM
