[Mkguild] Possible change of rules

[Marijn van de Mosselaar]

Hmmm. Sounds intriguing. I’m not against this but I would like to know why 
these rules were put in place to begin with as I wasn’t around when they 
were drafted. Also I would like to know what you seek to achieve by relaxing 
these rules.
As for the idea itself here’s what I think.
In favour:
Branching out into other universes would raise awareness of our own, more 
readers and maybe more new blood. It could mean some fun collaborations 
between writers and artists of with different ways of working and writing 
styles.
Travelling to other dimensions could be used for standard tropes. (E.g. 
Introducing technology/magic not currently available or forbidden. New 
insights in existing chararacters, introducing new ones or ‘raising’ them 
from the dead. etc.)
Other dimensions could also be used dump unwanted props, plotlines and loose 
characters. Reduce clutter should it be desired.
A great potential for growth and an investment for the future.

Against:
It could create arguments between writers of different universes, even if 
they are members of both or more universes. Entering new organisms into a 
territory that isn’t set up to handle it will cause enviromental problems. 
Much the same would apply
in writing unless you clearly define the boundaries of the crossover. It has 
a potential for chaos if elements are intoduced either too fast and/or too 
much at the same time, I expect our veteran writers will be able to handle 
this but cubs like myself
would probably be overwhelmed. Allowing for other universes would mean 
ceding some control to permit for a crossover, like setting new 
authorizations in your firewall.

You say you’ve been pondering this for some time. Would you have any 
examples of universes willing to crossover? Any particular dimensonal gates 
opening up? And I would be curious as well what everybody’s opinion is on 
this proposal.
An interesting idea for sure.

  Been pondering this for a long time. Been considering dropping the long 
standing rules against Crossovers from other story universes and no travel 
to other dimensions. These are not exactly huge changes but I wonder what 
everyone's opinions are on this.
