The Ledger
The ledger is open, check the math.
How the Record works
Every entry is filed
Each work is a numbered case file with a stated status — Ongoing, Pending, Filed. Nothing is hidden; nothing is back-dated. When a case changes, the Record notes the change. Schema is precise about this. Schema is precise about everything.
What is held in common
Source vs. story
Only public-domain source characters are everyone’s — the outlaws, detectives, and monsters the world stopped charging rent on. The books written from them keep their own copyright. The line is drawn cleanly, and it is drawn in the open.
Ratings & volunteers
Voluntary, and noted
Ratings are voluntary. The Record notes who volunteers. No number is invented, inflated, or quietly removed. If it is on the Record, it can be checked.
Audit trail
Check the math
The site is built in the open. When the source ledger is public, this is where you will find it — to read the history, verify the canon, and confirm the math yourself.
