    Another reminder of the age-old lesson: If you’re working on a fan project that involves another company/person’s IP, keep it a secret until you’re ready to release it. So many cool fan projects get shut down because they get impatient and show off their work so early that they get C&D’d before they ever get a chance to come close to finishing their project.

      Don’t forget the other age-old lesson:

      Be prepared to pivot. There’s nothing stopping you from making a homage/inspired by with your own intellectual property.
