Jenny Everywhere: A Hero For The People, No Strings Attached
by Tony Walsh
"The pinstripe world of corporately-owned superheroes is about to get shattered by a time-bomb named The Shifter. This sassy superheroine was born in a colossal explosion of energy like many of her copyrighted cousins, but unlike Superman or the Hulk, she belongs wholly to the people."
In Search of Jenny Everywhere
by Sebastian Mary
"I wasn't part of Jenny's genesis. I came
across her only recently, while hunting for something else, and was
fascinated. An explicitly open-source character: neither a
proprietary figure repurposed on the fringes of legality by fan
communities, nor a mythic and hence uncopyrightable figure, nor one
whose copyright has simply lapsed, but a set of narrative
opportunities co-created and available for everyone to use. As much
a political gesture as an artistic framework. I wanted evidence that
she'd grown beyond that initial idea."

Everywhere in some form.
