In Regards To: Using/Making Dreamers Content

Hello there! I just want to clarify something for anyone curious about Dreamers. While we both undoubtedly appreciate the support and interest of people from this platform, please understand that the project Mye and I are undertaking is a closed one, just like with any original graphic novel/book/webcomic. It is a very expansive piece of work, and it is one that is solely ours to make. This is not tied to our fan works in any way, shape or form—it is our original story, and our original characters, written and illustrated by us.  

Having said that: while it’s flattering to be asked about if people can produce AUs based on this universe, the answer right now is a firm no. For now, the same goes for fan-made OCs. One of the main reasons behind this choice is a simple one: no one’s had a chance to read the story yet! No one but us two really knows how the story proceeds, or what it really entails. Given this, we ask that people not claim ownership of any aspect of our project, especially not before it has even been released. I can say that the original story has not been cast aside, as it went on to become the foundation of Dreamers, as a first draft. Mye and I took great care to write it to its conclusion during our spare time, and hope to share it as a piece of our developmental process in making the final product. In addition to the main story, we also have lots AUs for these characters—we even draw art for them, sometimes!—and we’re more than happy to talk about them once the main bulk of Dreamers is underway.

To summarize: please don’t take our story or characters for personal means. Dreamers is an original work, written from the ground up by both of us. While Mye allows a lot of freedom for how people handle Ink (which is a beautiful, wonderful thing!) the same will not be allowed for our OCs. Coming from a modest publishing background, I personally am made very uncomfortable by the thought that my work can be reshaped by the hands of someone who doesn’t know who the characters are, or what they will become. However—this doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate the support, fanart, and interest we’ve garnered so far! It really brightens our day to know that people want to learn more, and we hope that they’ll follow along with our project into future development. Dreamers is a several-years-long creation, built through struggle, friendship, and a long-enduring love for the crafts of art and writing. We look forward to seeing how you will all react to final product, and want you all to know that your encouragement keeps us focused on our goals. I can’t wait to share this beautiful world with all of you—I hope you’re all looking forward to the day we unveil it to you!
