Writing Tool for Creating a Fictional Universe

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.

Thank you for the recommendation. I have some writing news of the non-fiction variety. My professor of ethics as agreed to coauthor a paper with me. He is the editor of one professional journal and on the editorial board of four others. I didn't know it at the time I asked. I am really excited about this.
