"The Spontoon Island Writers Guide"
http://www.naorhy.com/research_and_downloads/spontoon_writers_guide.pdf

This is a work-in-progress compiled and edited by Reese Dorrycott.
It collects, summarizes, & adds published background information
on the Spontoon Island Archipelego alternate-history setting.
This may be useful for contributors and entertaining for visitors to this website.
(This Writers Guide collects information from the informal background consensus
that the Spontoon Island contributors share, based on the currently archived material)

Some of the material is republished from this website, some parts are new essays on
the Spontoonie cultures, histories, and background stories.
Some of the material is listings of characters, social institutions, locations, & objects --
with credits to their creators. Information will be added and revised,
so additional information is welcome. A contact address for Reese is in the file.
The file may be revised at any time.

This is a link to an (Adobe) pdf file of "The Spontoon Island Writers Guide" located

A reminder:
The basic "Spontoon Island" world & setting is in the Public Domain.

This has been the legal situation since 1997.

Some of the 'History' and 'Maps' are labeled as being in the Public Domain.

Not all the characters and setting details are in the Public Domain.
Contributors retain their copyrights & character control,
unless they choose to share their creations,
or designate publicly that a specific creation is in the Public Domain.
As a service to contributors, there will be an attempt to list
specific characters & specific settings by creator.
You may contact contributors through the "contact" page.
 
All the maps are correct, even if they do not match.
