About
This is a collection of monkey musings on collaborative narratives, transmedia world building/making, storytelling, and copyright/intellectual property topics.
I’m currently working at my second startup, Brain Candy, LLC, which is using a collaborative entertainment property model to allow the creative community to participate meaningfully and monetarily in commercial entertainment properties while leaving branding and editorial control in the hands of the property owner.
I’m incredibly excited about the potential for finding ways to incorporate user-generated content into traditional commercial entertainment. Coupled with a transmedia approach to world building/making, there are some promising new models for collaborative commercial entertainment.
Brian Candy, LLC’s first internally produced entertainment property is Runes of Gallidon, which launched in November of 2008. When time permits, I write original fiction for this property (including a successful attempt at writing a novel during the 2009 NaNoWriMo).

Whatever you read here, remember this: I’m just another monkey who (thinks he) can type.
