Another Message from KatDon: Shared Universes 2016

Happy New Year! I want to leave you all a message: 

Ever heard of a 'shared universe' or 'shared world'? A shared universe or shared world is a set of creative works where more than one writer or other artist independently contributes a work that can stand alone but fits into the joint development of the storyline, characters, or world of the overall project. It is common in genres like science fiction. It differs from collaborative writing where multiple artists are working together on the same work and from crossovers where the works and characters are independent except for a single meeting. The term shared universe is also used within comics to reflect the overall milieu created by the comic book publisher in which characters, events, and premises from one product line appear in other product lines in a media franchise. The term has also been used in a wider, non-literary sense to convey interdisciplinary or social commonality, often in the context of a "shared universe of discourse." For example, The Marvel Universe is the fictional shared universe where the stories in most American comic book titles and other media published by Marvel Entertainment take place. Marvel superheroes such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and the Avengers are from this universe. The reason why I tell you this is because I am having my own shared universe, I call it The KatDon Universe that have works that involved with the fictional life of Katherine Donovan and company. But not just Katherine Donovan but also other characters. I might make other shared universes that doesn't involved with me (yours truly, KatDon) but other things. Sound cool huh? So, tell me, if you had your own shared universe of your own creative works; what would it be and why? Thank you and have a safe yet happy new year. Thank you! 

Sincerely, Katherine 

P.S. Give me time to process these creativities. I might have writer's block so I might need some ideas and creative for my shared universes. OK? Gracias!
