The Consortium

Wiktionary.org defines a consortium as, "An association or combination of businesses, financial institutions, or investors, for the purpose of engaging in a joint venture."  Our stated purpose is to promote and develop objective media, but in order to do that, we need resources.  I am a firm believer that everyone has value, therefore, if you, dear reader, are at all interested in what we are attempting to create here, you are precisely the person we need.


As I see it, our project falls into three phases.  In Phase I, we will begin building the community that the Consortium will draw from.  Though our primary developmental focus in on film and literature, we welcome creative minds from all fields.  Individuals and business entities that enter the association will bring with them information, perspective, ideas, materials, and capital.  Through free association, these resources can be drawn upon by anyone through fair trade; the same as in any physical community.


The process of developing Phase I will lead to Phase II, where we begin the life-long process of defining truth and solving problems.  This information can and must then be repackaged as teaching tools, which remind those who helped create them and educate those who are new to Truth in Fiction.  From Phase II will arise leaders who promote objectivity in the media that already exists, and develop new media according to the same objective principles.


We will enter Phase III, when the products of Phase II begin to receive recognition.  At this time, the Consortium for Truth in Fiction will begin to be seen as a source for quality fiction, and will be in a position to positively influence the direction of modern culture and the art it creates.


Art aids a culture in remembering it’s purpose.
