This is a topic entirely devoted to open source universes. We, the creators of open source universes, deliver open source ideas for everyone to use, so the amateur comics community can create comics that have certain elements in common, thus opening possibilities of belonging to a greater, bigger picture, while still retaining creative control. These ideas are officially declared public domain by being posted here, unless these ideas have already been copyrighted. Everybody is free to use these settings and their elements, in any comic, but will have to follow a few simple rules. If these rules are broken, no copyright infringement is done, and no legal hassles are to be expected, but the person breaking these rules, will lose our respect. Please try to uphold these ideals, so a non-commercial, non-binding unity of characters, settings, etc... can grow and expand, thus making the amateur and the quality he has to offer, visible to the world!

Well, I hope that summed up about everybody's views? If you have problems, mail me at domicrayon@yahoo.fr
THE RULES:
- Please, try to follow the descriptions of any open source material proposed. You can rewrite and adapt, but stay true to its uniqueness, or write a new one
If you would like to add your own views post them (even in the form of links--images can be useful to stress certain concepts and visual ideas)
Respect the conditions made by its original creator. If it says that in "Funnyworld", everything is pink, don't invent a yellow "funnyworld": create a new world of your own. By publishing your own comic (online or otherwise) you become a co-creator. Live up to it and try to do your best (of course this rule can't be checked objectively, it's more of a moral principle most people will understand )
Subjected material is in the free domain: the creator CAN NOT copyright these original ideas! Think carefully what you are sharing with the community
Also, these open source comics sources do not rule out overlap: they are proposed to expand possibilities beyond blind fanatic paradox-free universes!
