William Shatner is a renaissance man of sorts. He's an actor, of course, pitchman, equestrian, businessman, author, producer, director, and captain of a flippin' starship! Well, now you can add internet entrepreneur to the list. The Shat just launched a brand new social network for artists in the SciFi genre called MyOuterSpace.com.

Being broken down into categories (planets) and starships (virtual production companies), the site offers creatives a way of networking / job hunting that's truly unique and setup perfectly for the SciFi genre. On a side note, the starships were actually designed by legendary Next Gen, DS9, Enterprise production illustrator John Eaves.

MyOuterSpace.com Description

MyOuterSpace.com is a Sci Fi Social Network for those with a passion for the arts. Whether you are a fan of Sci Fi, Horror or Fantasy or seeking a career in the Science fiction industry MyOuterSpace.com has much to offer.

Creative Talent, be sure to register on the planet that hosts your specialty, and you may be selected by a Captain to join his/her Starship Crew.

I will be monitoring all Starship projects, and reviewing each Captain's Log, where progress will be recorded each step of the way. The Captains will seek out new talent on the various Planets to build a winning team. There are six Starships ready to crew-up and develop a dynamic entertainment production, so register now, participate and keep your eyes to the stars, William Shatner

Planets

Those who specialize in graphic design, motion graphics and/or animation would register and take residency on Planet Anteros. Musicians, bands, singers and songwriters would register on Orpheus, the music planet. Whether you talent is music, graphics, acting or writing, there is a planet that hosts your talent on Myouterspace.com.

Starships

The six Starships are virtual production companies, each with a project being made into a film, stage or animated production. As the captain builds his/her Crew, the awareness of the ship's project becomes valuable to the community, who will all be watching and waiting. You will be able to follow each Starship's progress and watch live interviews, as well as chat with the best and brightest in Sci-Fi, Horror and Fantasy, all here on Myouterspace.com.
