So, I'm planning to write up my thoughts, ideas, and stuff on various subject matter and posting them on the net in the hopes of creating a virtual marketplace of ideas.
Subjects will range from zombies to magic to parallel universes and beyond.
The idea would be for me to write up a blurb with my ideas, and have them free for use by anyone with the condition that they must make it their own by adding their own ideas, removing and changing bits that they don't agree with, and so on. Also, they must tell me that they're using it, so I can go and see what they've done with my ideas. I'd then link to them, and them to me as the originator of the idea. Maybe I'd take a bit of theirs that I like and add it to mine. And other people can start topics of their own if they want. The concept of a free exchange of ideas would be unworkable if only one person had a hand in it.
The purpose of this would be to enable people to flesh out their own ideas, and have their own input. There are so many people out there who have amazing talent, and excellent ideas for a plot, but no characters or world to base the story in. Some can explain in detail the biological workings and habits of creatures of their creation. Others have the most complex world designs; complete with languages and cultures, but nothing to put in it. With luck, these people would be able to find what they're lacking, and create wondrous works of art and fiction that would never come to light otherwise.
So, what do you think (if anyone's actually reading this)? Would such a thing work? Would it encourage bad behavior such as stealing material from sources that prohibit it? Would people be interested? And if so, is DeviantART the right place to hold such an information exchange? Would the essays be put under journals, literature, clubs, or what?
If I'm to attempt this, I'd like some input from those who may be interested in joining in.

Updated commission prices
Broken
So I dunno about anyone else, but DeviantArt is not working for me. The majority of images and all image previews display only an empty space with a broken image icon in the corner, regardless of browser. As such, I'm probably not going to be around much for a while.
In the meantime, my art tumblr will continue to be posting art once a week. You can find it at artbyifer.tumblr.com
If anyone has any ideas on how to go about trouble-shooting my picture problem, I'd appreciate it if you let me know; I'll still be checking in on my notes from time to time.
Bye for now.
Devious Journal Entry
Back from Feral!, where I had an excellent time. Did some commissions, and in the next little while I'll be cleaning up the ones I took pictures of to post them on here.
I am very much enjoying the weekly lifedrawing workshops I've been attending, and I hope you guys arn't feeling too swamped by all the nudes. Rest assured I have not switched my favored subject matter, and hope to have more fantasy content up soon.
Made up a commission price-list before heading out into the wilderness, so if anyone wants to hit me up for that feel free!
I hear that the Furnal Equinox coming up has a retro arcade/fighting game theme, so I'll have to try com
August has come to a middle.
Getting ready for Feral! later this week. Made Frilled Dragon prints. Wanted to do fuzzball stickers, but they would not have been done in time. I've finishes 12 rubber and steel bracelets for the con, and I'm hoping the sturdier, more masculine look will mean they'll sell better than the fancier/more delicate jewellery I had tried to sell in prior years.
I'm very much enjoying the Saturday life drawing sessions that my family's been going to, even if we are sporadic in attendance. It's a good way to work on my art, particularly as I have been rather lax in practicing as of late.
I'm going to move some of my old art into the scraps folder,
