In thread after thread, I've come upon the question of whether all the Ages we build are supposed to have been written by us, the new Guild of Writers, or if we may say they are discoveries of our own, written by the D'ni Guild of Writers. I figure it might be nice to convalesce all the seperate discussions on this important topic into one place.
Personally, I hope that we will be allowed to build "discovered" Ages. It will be easier to explain IC and allow us to do a lot more with our potential storylines. But it's going to be a rather dicy topic due to copyright issues. I feel like Cyan will allow us to do this, as long as we don't break any obvious rules, in which case they might decide to revoke that right we have. We'll need to be rather careful about what we do if we want to build an Age we claim was written by D'ni.
Of course, the other side to this rather complex issue is that maybe we ought to be sticking completely to our own material.. let the DRC release D'ni Ages, and we'll release new writings. That way we don't step on anybody's toes, but it'll certainly limit our options.
What does everyone think?
