I took some baby steps towards that, and could post that pitiful amount of information in here on request, heh.
Basically, I started from the beginning of the comic trying to list all cultural references (brands and products and such that we invented for the 'verse) and trivia about the characters (what they know about, what they've done). Stuff like that. Never rose to the level of looking at wiki formats and such.
Do you have any ideas about that?

Hmm, I think maybe the easiest way would be to set up a wiki on Wikia. But I'm only good for rudimentary "coding stuff" like text formatting, not designing infoboxes and layouts , which may not be necessary but can make the wiki look prettier and easier to understand We can also try MediaWiki but I'm not familiar with how that one works. Does your character trivia include information on the bloodlines?

My information does not include anything about bloodlines. But our about page does! www.borfy.com/Kingfisher/About.html It's a little way's down, past the general info about vampires in the 'verse. It's funny, I don't think there'd be a ton of fans in need of a wiki - in fact, someone once explicitly stated they didn't want a wiki, but didn't say why. However, I think as writers, Kelly and I could use a quick way to look up info about things we've created. The universe has gotten very detailed. Like all the bands mentioned in the Karl / Jack backstory chapter. Things to note.

Oh my god I can't believe I haven't checked out the about page!! Thank you. I can't imagine how a wiki would be undesirable unless someone were to vandalise it. Maybe they wanted to protect Kingfisher from being mainstreamed?? I agree that a wiki would be useful in keeping track of the Kingfisherverse. Would you mind if I went ahead and started a wiki? I don't think I'll have much to contribute but hopefully other readers can help to expand it.

Just realizing I didn't give enough info for anyone to bother following the link. It's about some positive and possibly more accurate representation of an indigenous American culture (specifically Blackfoot) in a Hollywood Blockbuster film. It's a small part, but not total crap. A little crap in the stereotyped role area, but the Easter eggness behind it is good. I think. I'm still learning to critically engage this kind of thing.
