Again, the FAQs for The Shifter Archive is a combination of the original FAQs from the first Jenny Everywhere home site, and of questions specifically related to the Archive Project. Some of which are of my own interpretations, and of which are by no means "Official".
The latest FAQ kinda approaches that thinking:
THE SHIFTER ARCHIVE PROJECT FAQS
So, is this the "Official" site of Jenny Everywhere?
Well, technically, no. Since Jenny Everywhere does not belong to anyone in particular, there is no such thing as an "Official" site. However, the original JennyEverywhere.com site would have been the closest thing to an "Official" site. The Shifter Archive, however, is backed by a number of people from the initial creators of Jenny. This is also the definitive archival site for The Shifter... not that there is any other site like this aside from the Wikipedia entry. Will I call this site the "Official" site? No. Technically, it's a "fan site"! *wink*
Yea, see, basically since Jenny does not belong to anyone in particular, anything and everything donw with Jenny is, well, "Fan Fiction". You see, there is no "Official" story or anything for Jenny beyond the original description and idea behind her when she was "released" as an Open Source character. It's more of a collective acceptance. People can choose to accept some, none, or ALL of the existing stories of Jenny, and apply them to their own story... or not.
I hope I'm making sense. But that is the beauty of The Shifter. Infinite worlds, infinite dimensions, infinite possibilities for stories to be connected... or NOT connected. All essentially "Fan Fiction" of a common idea.
