# Intellectual Properties and Parodies
|
|
|
|
Some works borrow the world from established sources (_Kantai Collection_, _The Idolmaster_), some build their own world.
|
|
|
|
Initially it is probably adequate to only implement the labelling of parodies.
|
|
|
|
## Parodies
|
|
|
|
An author's work can only have characters of an established world, can only take place in the established world, or both.
|
|
|
|
In each case the work needs to be findable by the name of the original source. **Would there be a point in allowing users to search for an established world but specifying that it doesn't involve its characters?**
|
|
|
|
## Intellectual Properties
|
|
|
|
Every original work is automatically a world in its own right. Therefore parodies of it are possible. I have yet to find an example.
|
|
|
|
Another case is an author who writes multiple works in their established world, without them being a series (e.g. _Michiking_ with his two _The Older Sister Experience_ Series). The user should still have a way to connect these two series.
|
|
|
|
What I am basically saying, is: **Should every work that is not a parody of an established world, be automatically an entrance in its own established world?**
|
|
|
|
This would require giving a name to the world and starting to label entrances into any established world as either parody or original/canon.
