Lately I have seen a few fanfics with copyright protection. I was wondering
how one goes about copywriting there works. Any information on this is
welcome.

**You can only copyright characters you create.  If you will notice,
characters that are created by say, Rumiko Takahashi or Naoko Takuechi, are
credited to those creators, while characters created by yourself are yours.
 The reason for that is that some fic writers are aspiring writers, and in
some cases, the fanfics are merely testbeds for those selfsame characters.

Hi wo kurase			Therefore, here I spend the day...
Akenu ni otoru			Why in that time before dawn that dawn-blush
Akane sasuran?			   tint should glow--
				That, indeed, I know not.
