The Project

What if a story-universe like Marvel, or Harry Potter was designed to be public domain from it's conception.

What if instead of creating intellectiual "property" that fans have to pay to consume, group of "art pirates" built a "franchise" everybody "owns" and can contribute to?

What the business model of the creative economy was transformed in a way that artists and writers are the ones who primarily profit from their work instead of the suits?

What if fiction and "reality" aren't as far apart as we pretend they are?

The "Pirate Kingdom" project is an open-source collaborative story-universe designed to invite artists, writers and fans to come together and build a story that belongs to us, rather than corporate media. The setting is a sci-fi pirate adventure where we can break "the rules"  of genre and of the current creative economic model so that artists and writers and fans can enjoy the fruit of their labor.  Just like the pirates in the stories we'll tell - the contributors to the project are boldly charting their own destiny  and abandoning the soul-crushing feudalism of media monopolies for open waters full of potential and monsters.
