THE FORGE
Here are Wickercave endorsed artists/companies (Shopkeepers) partnered with the Creator.
"What does it mean to be a partner?" - The creatives listed here have chosen to sign on with merchandising within the species and lore, some may have also directly contributed specifically heavily impacting the species as well .
"Sign on with Merchandise?"- All this means is that the persons involved have signed an IP Agreement contract signaling that while they are free to produce goods that are counted as mass produced i.e. costume bases, mini franchises of their own within the species, and etc. they acknowledge the contents being used for sale are the creation of DaemonLady. Signing comes with its own perks such as advertisement here on the website, legal protection surrounding all parties involved, and closer point of contact due to working closely.
" All of this is happening years later after I made my stuff" - And that is completely fine and rest assured no one will come knocking on your door, this is simply a partnership perk. Think of this as a listing of trusted artists specific to the Wickercave Brand. If you wish to sign on if items were made prior that is completely fine, if not that is fine as well, as long as general credit is given upon completion somewhere visible on your listing.
" Does Digital Apply to this?"- This mainly applies to physical goods, but if a digital product fits the criteria i.e. web based series, video-games, and etc it would be advised to contact for further details. Online art bases are the exception.
"Do I have to sign for commissions now?"- Absolutely not, as stated before this is mainly for physical goods that can be counted as mass produced such as items of the same character. The community has flourished a lot thanks to the spread of ideas and individual story telling and would feel like a punishment to restrict that, as mentioned previously this is just a perk with an added safety net.
"Does this mean your species is trademarked/copyrighted?"- Let's clarify this, the Wickercave Brand is to be trademarked, the species is merely the product of the brand. In short, no one will be calling foul on similar concepts, designs, and etc. this is merely merchandising rights specific to the Wickercave Brand to combat deliberate theft directly off the source site/store by third parties. i.e merchandise photos taken off here and used for profit by unauthorized parties.
" Alright ya hooked me in, where do I get started?"- Lore contributions are generally closed but if you truly feel that it would be a good addition feel free to submit and will be looked into. For general partnership in regards to merchandising you can submit this information to the following email address as well: wickerbeastfaq@gmail.com
