Short answer: YES. This is what Shashigai and I meant to do in Dekan. But it may be that fully-realized Dekan is too intimidating or offputting to a stranger. You'd know better than I would.
What I want to build is more than just a writers' haven. That was just how I was phrasing it to fit in with the Hatrack folks. My intent here is to be totally multiplicity friendly. I want to challenge the basic distinction between reality and fantasy. Daria wasn't kidding about the soulbonds and jiko and alternate means of communication. I want a place for people who "aren't real" to be able to meet and talk to people who are. I want to laugh in the face of the biggest conflict facing a multiple - "Is it real?" - and say, "Does it matter? Come with us and be." And I'm prepared to deal with the drama that tends to haunt multiples wherever they go.
That, and the market research I've done points to the idea that it's best to start promoting a book at least a year in advance of manuscript completion and sale, to build up a potential fan base. I'm sure something similar is true of comics. Fiona and Sha's story needs promoting.
Shashigai's done some name checking, and thedreaming, the_dreaming, and dreaming are already taken. So we'd need a new name.
These are the directions my mind spirals. I hope I'm not scaring you off. :P
