The Continuation of Daughter
Where Fandom and Original Creation Converge
Welcome my speculative fiction universe, The Continuation of Daughter, a shared universe in which you can contribute your own creative works to the canon.
Quick Background
A group of far-future, interstellar human civilizations manage to survive for millennia, only to be fundamentally altered by the discovery of Jana, an alternate dimension that has two main properties:
- It can be used as a means of instantaneous point-to-point travel in real space (i. e. to places in our usual dimension).
- As a "place" in itself, Jana physically manifests thought: in Jana, dreams and ideas can literally come true.
Creative Opportunities for You
Jana provides a wealth of possibilities for story settings, including time travel scenarios. It is, thus, a convenient means for tying these far-future civilizations back into present-day, past, or early/other future Earth. In effect, it allows for an endless array of "crossovers."
I invite you to read the overview of the Continuation or view some art, literature, or characters. If your fancy is tickled, I invite you to contribute. You are, of course, free and encouraged to produce "fan works" for your own websites, zines, etc. But, unlike almost all fandoms, The Continuation invites you to contribute to the "canon." If any works you've contributed to are formally published, you will be given credit for your contributions. If you are a co-author, you will receive a percentage of royalities. With appropriate permission (readily given), you may also publish "canonical" works as the sole credited author provided you credit the contributions of others.
This collaborative model combines the best of two worlds:
- the artistic freedom and community of fandom
- the official recognition, canonical continuity, and quality control of original publication.
To find out more, read the contributors' guidelines.
A note on publication and money: The Continuation, thus far, has not been picked up for publication. Its only currently published work is my self-published novel, Perdita. Please do not hold false expectations that this project is your ticket to "real publication." In time, it theoretically could be, but I make no promises.
