Writing Tool for Creating a Fictional Universe

[jasonandrew]

I've created a private lexicon wiki for my Crossroads Universe. It has made organizing information for my characters, histories, and just general information.

The information is locked behind a password and membership. In order to become a member, I have to add you to the list. Thus, it is protected from general view, but I can access the information.

At the moment, I’ve only entered information about Dylan and the Dream Pirates, but it has already been extremely helpful for keeping characters, locations, and histories consistent.

I highly recommend it for writers working on a fictional universe. And when ::knock on wood:: Dreams in the Dragon’s House and Dylan and the Dream Pirates are finally published, I can fold it into a public wiki, which can be a powerful marketing tool.

Need to know what the eye color of a minor character is? Click, click. Done.

I have a tight knit universe with a couple of shared minor characters between the books and it really works out.

I should do something like that. Thankfully my twisted nut has the capacity to remember what page number details are on--even if I don't remember the details themselves.
