What Is Meant By "Open Source?"

The creator of Spectral Shadows has set aside copyrights in order to make this project entirely Open Source, meaning everyone can have a voice in how things will go. The readers may therefore use the creator's notes to write as yet unwritten stories from existing continuity, or they may bring their own characters and additional plots into the story.



The public is granted licence to create and publish derivative works, parodies, make art, anything they want. Please note, however, that any new characters added to the saga become the property of the overall creative collective. So don't put any characters in the series that you want to maintain control over.



This is very much like writing for a Wiki site. Anything you contribute is subject to editing and future development. And there are no safe spaces. Characters die in this series, sometimes horribly. Heroes don't always arrive on time. And morality is subject to the point of view of the contributor. Indeed, contributors may freely pit their morality against the morality of other contributors, and there will be no predisposition as to which will win out in the end, or how that will effect the future of the story.



But if you can handle this not so safe creative and hopefully educational environment for aspiring writers, please click above and join the Spectral Shadows Brainstormers Group on Live Journal, and we'll look forward to your contributions.
