jennariaWife is co-editor for a book that's coming out soon. (About Carrie Fisher! But academic, rather than fun, per se.) This has meant a lot of time recently has been spent on getting permission to use certain photos.
One image was a photo of a Star Wars collection (toys, posters, etcetera). Unfortunately, the owner (of collection and photo) said 'no,' rather indignantly, to the request to use the photo in the book. Wife grumbled a bit, because the photo wasn't J. Random Here's My Collection off the internet - it had been posted in response to a call for photos to be used in the book, why the last-minute 'I didn't know why you wanted it!' response. Okay, fine, whatever.
Fortunately, both Wife and I are fangirls of long standing ourselves. We have Star Wars sheets! Star Wars Legos! Star Wars books! Star Wars toys that aren't Legos! Basically, in half an hour, we had replacement photos.
(...which did not have cats in them, although it was a near thing because Pallas was Very Interested in the Lego Millennium Falcon.)
