There is a bible but it doesn't really impose limits. It's a massive document that details every story, the main characters, technology, ships, etc.
Quote from: SM on Nov 09, 2019, 11:44:03 PMOh, and these details were very informative. Thank you.
The writer produces a treatment then a draft. Editors, me and who knows who else, read it, suggests changes. Those changes get fed back to the licensee and author. Sometimes the suggestions are adopted (eg. there was a line in Prototype about an egg closing and no seams were visible. I said eggs always have visible seams, and I believe that line got tweaked) and sometimes they're not adopted (eg. earlier in this thread about the use of "Xenomorph").

Do you ever notice flaws in the bible itself and suggest revisions?

Well the series started out interesting but by the end it was just not good.
Didnt like the story or the art overall.

This comic implies that the term was invented specifically for our aliens.

I wished they'd just call everything Xenomorphs and stick to the XX121 designation for our Aliens. That's the only way I actually like them being called Xenomorphs.
