Franchise Lead
Own a franchise sheet end-to-end. Set priorities and keep the data accurate and publication-ready. Open for all franchises — if you know a franchise deeply, we want to hear from you.
Every franchise goes deeper than the films and series. Finding that depth shouldn't be this hard.
A volunteer-run archive cataloguing officially published expanded universe works — novels, comics, audio dramas, games, and more — across 25+ major franchises.
Enter the Atlas →What the EUA Is
You already know the feeling. A franchise you love has decades of novels, comics, audio dramas, and games — and no reliable way to find out what exists, what order it goes in, or which of it is actually worth tracking down.
These works sit scattered across formats, publishers, and decades. Some are region-locked. Some are out of print. Some are simply unknown. The result is a landscape most fans can only partially see.
The Expanded Universe Atlas makes the full picture visible. It catalogues officially published expanded universe works across 25+ franchises in one structured, navigable index — with publication order, regional availability, and cross-media relationships recorded for every entry. No privileged continuity. No rankings. Just a complete, accurate record of what exists and where to find it.
The EUA is a non-commercial, independent fan project. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by any rights holder. It carries no advertising and will never charge for access.
The EUA's franchise sheets are substantially built — but no catalogue of this scope stays accurate without people who care about getting it right. A title gets missed. A publication date shifts. A regional availability changes. An edition exists that no database has indexed yet.
That is where contributors make a difference. Not building from scratch — verifying what is there, catching what is missing, and adding what only a specialist would know. The work you contribute becomes part of a permanent record, findable by every fan who comes after you.
Most contributions take less than an hour. Many take five minutes.
Own a franchise sheet end-to-end. Set priorities and keep the data accurate and publication-ready. Open for all franchises — if you know a franchise deeply, we want to hear from you.
Maintain one content tab (novels, comics, audio, etc.) within a franchise sheet. Verify entries, catch gaps, and own your tab's accuracy.
Submit missing entries, flag errors, or verify uncertain data. No ongoing commitment required. A great way to contribute specific knowledge about a franchise or format you know well.
Keep a franchise subreddit thread tidy — welcome contributors, route useful comments to the archive, lightly moderate. No data knowledge required. Just familiarity with the franchise and care for it.
EUA contributors use whatever research tools work best for them — including AI tools. What matters is that every entry is verified against a reliable source before submission. AI-assisted research is welcome; unverified data is not.
Get involved →The most valuable contributions are verification and gap-finding. If you know a franchise, you already have what it takes.
If you know a tie-in work not yet in a franchise sheet, submit it via the intake form. Regional editions, limited releases, and obscure formats are especially valuable — you may be the only person who knows they exist. Once recorded, they are findable for ever.
Find a novel entry and check the ISBN-13 against WorldCat or GoodReads. If it matches, mark it verified. If it does not, note the correct value. Takes five minutes. Makes the entry trustworthy for every reader who finds it.
Find an entry with a missing or uncertain release date, locate the original publication date from a reliable source, and add it. Small detail — essential for publication-order accuracy.
