Releases, agreements, §2257 records — the documents a clean shoot actually needs, in plain English, with free browser-only generators for each. I'm not a lawyer; I just know which forms to ask for.

The collab clause nobody writes: what happens when they don't show
Every collab post on this site — the money split, the paperwork checklist, the agreement clause by clause — quietly assumes the shoot happens. The cancellations that have actually hit me came day-of, at an expo — once I found out from her Twitter. Here's the cancellation policy I run now.

Two creators, one scene: who holds the 2257 records?
The custodian post answered the easy version — you shoot it, you keep the records. This is the version I left open: a co-shoot, both of you posting the same scene, both of you producers. Here's how I actually handle it, and where the honest answer is still 'ask a lawyer.'

Splitting the money on a collab: decide it in writing before you shoot

Custodian of records: the footer line nobody explains
Every adult site carries the same dense paragraph at the bottom — a 2257 compliance statement naming a custodian of records. Almost nobody reads it, and almost nobody who posts it can explain it. If you self-produce, that named person is you. Here's what the job actually is, in plain terms.
