Is it OK for fans to write stories or draw pictures set in Dinotopia?
Yes, I encourage my readers to explore Dinotopia on their own and share their discoveries online with friends, but there are just three important ground rules. First, the work cannot be offered for sale in any way (or else it would have to be officially licensed); second, it must be presented as unofficial; and third, it shouldn’t be shown to me (because I don’t want to be influenced one way or another by someone else’s ideas).
