Ying have since endorsed and promoted fan-works as part of a groundbreaking communal creative project. There are now a number of contributors who have published work in the setting.

What is Gunmetal Olympus? A shared-world setting where each author and artist who participates is able to get paid fully and independently, with no cuts taken by the “IP holder” (in this case, the Maria Ying team). The setting is a Greek myth-inspired, futuristic world where a glittering cyberpunk city must hold its place on a barren planet against hostile megafauna called the colossi. The gods, demigods, and otherwise majority of characters are lesbians.
