Mel. White is a multifandom fanartist, that contributed to many zines in the 1980s.

She is also a professional author and comic book creator. White was a co-author on at least one Mercedes Lackey book.

She's a member of the Dorsai Irregulars where her name is "Little Dragon". This name was given to her by Bob Asprin.

Her avatar, K'has, is a black haired, black bodied male centaur inspired in part by Donna Barr's Stinz and by original Star Trek Klingons. K'has first appeared in The Dallas Brawl , a furry role-playing APA.

1993 Comments About Copyright

In the past few years I've been approached by a number of artists saying "a friend of mine wants to scan some of my images and upload them to a BBS. What do you think of this?" Generally the kind-hearted computer-ist has offered the artist a number of persuasive arguments; and the most common is "there are millions of people who collect these images. You'll get a LOT of exposure! And if you put your name and address on it, you'll get commissions from everywhere."

My reaction, as [personal info redacted] and Sysop of a BBS and professional artist is that it's one of the worst things that can happen to the art and the artist. I do not (under any circumstances) give permission for my artwork to be scanned and distributed. My advice to any artist who has encountered this offer is that they should go back to the friend and say sweetly, "Thanks ever so much ~ but no thanks. It may lead to abuse of my copyrights. And if you ever SEE anyone uploading my stuff, please let me know so I can sue the socks off them." [1]
