In general of course, please feel free to ad to the GC Universe, but with that said. I don't want “many” other Authors. I can't stop anyone from writing but Like any writer I am very protective about my writing and while I can't stop anyone from copying or creating GC Fiction. It won't be Canon, official or part of the GC Universe unless I endorse / authorize it. I want to make sure the character of my "baby" doesn't change.

But that does not mean you can't write or should not write for the GC Universe, be it stories or GalNet pages, but it it means it has to have the GC spirit/feel. Silvak who started to write GC Stories managed exactly that and thus is endorsed by me.

For a few Rules I do have check out : Writing in the GC Universe

As for your specific question. I like to keep the number of TL11 Civilizations very low and there should be only one true TL 12.

The reason: A TL 12 society has serious implications to the rest of the Canon Universe. It would conflict with the “Red Line” of the Galactic Chronicles.

Having said all this : Why don't you introduce your Species/ Civilization in “Fragments” or “Concepts” and if I feel the species fits I endorse it and we can make it part of the Canon.

Does that sound like a plan?

I sure don't want to anger you or curb your enthusiasm and I am deeply grateful for your contributions, I just don't want to loose the Character of GC. I hope you understand my motivations in saying all this.

Yours
