Matthew Wayne Selznick

I welcome you to create stories, art, music, videos, and other content based on my works — like “Brave Men Run” and “Pilgrimage” — set in the Sovereign Era. There are some rules:

• This site — specifically, this forum — is the only place it's okay to post any content based on or derived from my Sovereign Era setting, situations, and characters without my explicit permission. In other words, you may not post or otherwise distribute any derivative works anywhere else. Keep it in the sandbox unless I tell you specifically that it's okay to put it somewhere else.

• I will always give attribution for anything you make. That means, at the very least, your name or nickname, a link back to your site, information on how people can purchase your other, non-derivative work, and so on. Think of playing in the Sovereign Sandbox as a way to promote yourself, with my thanks.
• Content featuring other copyrighted properties cannot be accepted.  In other words, no matter how cool it might be to throw W07v3r!n3 or $up3rm@n into the Sovereign Era, it's not allowed.  If you are the license holder for a copyrighted property and would like to create content featuring your properties in the Sovereign Era setting, please contact me.
• For legal reasons, characters, situations, places and things depicted in the context of the Sovereign Era become the property of Matthew Wayne Selznick.  This includes, but is not limited to, any content created that features characters, entities, institutions, settings, or situations created by Matthew Wayne Selznick.  You will not be compensated for your content.

Help Establish The Canon!

The Sovereign Era contains much more than the events portrayed in “Brave Men Run - A Novel of the Sovereign Era,” “Pilgrimage,” or anything else I could ever write. It's a whole Era, after all!

Your content might be designated “canon” if it fits particularly well with my vision of the Sovereign Era. This means your contributions could actual help shape the milieu, and be part of future official Sovereign Era material!
