Why we do what we do:
Everyone wants to be a successful artists/author/film maker. We are all studying and practicing, posting online, going to conventions, hoping to get discovered.
Every once in a while, one of us gets a break, really gets a chance to blow our ideas all the way out; Lucas with Star Wars, Masamune Shirow with Ghost in the Shell. They're world gets made into films, comics, plush toys, and they make about a gazillion dollars.
Here's the thing; they don't do all or most of the work. Peter Jackson had about half the working artists on the planet behind him when he made Lord of the Rings and the best Star Wars movies weren't even directed by Lucas.
So, you take one guy (or chick) with a good idea. They pay other artists a fraction of what they make to do the work, then hire lawyers to sue the fan artists who love what they're doing.
We say the act of creation would be better without the megalomaniac in the middle. What if the head artist was the fan art guy? What if "fandom" was also the head creative consultancy? What if all the story developers and talented artists got equal billing? What if there was a universe out there that you could write/draw/film in that was as big as half the art talent on the planet but you could contribute as an equal to the big boys?
Well, there is, using the Creative Commons License structure, www.thedydenexperiment.com is building just that Universe. Here are hundreds of planets, a faster than light travel system, a society, working governments, all laid out and available for everyone to add too. By working together, we're going to build a great Universe with comics, novels, tons of fan art. It's going to rival Lucas or Tolkien. But here's where it's better. You will always own your piece. You will always be able to contribute. Your work may still end up in someone else's story but you'll still own it, still get credit, and be able to use their work too. Best of all; no megalomaniac is ever going to be able to sell your work and keep the billions of dollars.
