Scott Walker: "This interview with Clockwork Watch founder and visionary Yomi Ayeni is making its appearance just in time for the year-end holidays!"

Scott Walker: "In this post, Corey [Reid] talks about the benefits of combining an open world setting with traditional, linear stories and why (and how!) he’s using Creative Commons to integrate a collaborative world building framework with a structure for commercialization of stories set in that open world."

Mur Lafferty: "Worldbuilder is the open story world connected to Adam Christopher’s novel, “Empire State.” Most publishers worry about fanfic, but we welcome fan-created projects. We post connected stories, music, comics, etc on our page at Empirestate.cc."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:
Lucas J.W. Johnson: "Today's post is an old interview I did with the awesome Scott Walker over a year ago and never posted! He has kindly done a brief edit/update to it after being away from social media for a year. This was back when my main focus was transmedia -- these days he says his new ventures won't be in the transmedia sphere either -- but his thoughts on transmedia and shared story worlds are still interesting and relevant. Enjoy!"

"Clockwork Watch is an immersive participatory story set in a retro-futurist vision of Victorian England. The narrative is played out across graphic novels, interactive promenade theatre, freeform role-play, online adventures, an interactive book, and a feature film."

I wanted to see if I could have the LARP begin well before Wyrd Con and continue after the convention was over by using a persistent world setting as the backdrop for the LARP and having the story start before Wyrd Con and continue after the LARP.
[Wyrd Con is a "convention focused on live action role-playing (LARP)".]

Earlier this year at the StoryWorld Conference, Andrea Phillips approached me and proclaimed, “You know, I really, really, really hate the term, ‘value co-creation!’”

If you've been enjoying the series of posts on the business of transmedia, by Brian Clark, then you'll find this post, by Scott Walker, a very handy summary.

Chances are you’re launching a SSW in order to make money. Maybe not enough to retire on, but more than zero. If so, you have a lot of options for opening the revenue doors.
