Through a no-strings attached writing grants program and Open Quill’s on-chain publishing system, we are creating a community-crafted book that will be published on-chain, online and in stores.

By a decentralized community of writers and creators.
Story seeds that can serve as inspiration for future writers and builders.
Our goal: to publish the first decentralized, public domain short story compendium.
Writing grants were delivered across multiple “rounds,” where the eligible submissions received within the submission window for reach round were considered for a grant.
<aside> ©️ “Copyright and other laws throughout the world automatically extend copyright protection to works of authorship and databases, whether the author or creator wants those rights or not. CC0 gives those who want to give up those rights a way to do so, to the fullest extent allowed by law. Once the creator or a subsequent owner of a work applies CC0 to a work, the work is no longer his or hers in any meaningful sense under copyright law. Anyone can then use the work in any way and for any purpose, including commercial purposes, subject to other laws and the rights others may have in the work or how the work is used. Think of CC0 as the "no rights reserved" option.”

<aside> ♻️ The Open Quill Program is rewarding creators who contribute to building the ever-expanding Public Domain of the Lootverse.
Public Domain content, including CC0 designated works, is the foundation and fuel for independent creators to trustlessly build a cohesive world. All are invited to adapt, expand and use these submissions in infinite creative ways.

<aside> 🎨 Yes, we can provide story seeds & ideas 🙂
<aside> 📝 Short form to long form; fiction to non-fiction and everything in between
We imagine that this book will have 20-30 short stories and short form content that span character studies, diary entries, poems, fiction and nonfiction and anything that the community dreams up.
There is no minimum or maximum word count but expect that competitive submissions would fall between 5000 and 10,000 words. However, above all, the steering committee looking for quality of story and execution of the prompt regardless of word count.
