The following is about Dozerfleet Productions as a unified entity. For other uses of "Dozerfleet," see Dozerfleet (disambiguation) Dozerfleet Productions is an independent, privately-owned entertainment think tank and data warehouse founded on October 10th-12th of 1994, receiving its current name on May 10th of 2006. It has several outlets for entertainment purposes, including a DeviantArt outlet. Dozerfleet Productions ultimately wants to be an alternative, Christian-conservative-friendly multimedia organization. While it does address content of a dark nature, it places some emphasis on worldview analysis for works before they are approved. The Dozerfleet Database is the main wiki, serving the brand's primary database and history logging purposes. The Dozerfleet Blog, which became the brand's home page apart from the wiki on February 17th of 2015, offers sneak peaks and news announcements. There is also a Facebook page. Together, these and the text storage centers make up the division known as Dozerfleet Literature. The literature division overlaps with every other division, listed below. Ivan Wilinski from Ride of the Three Bulldozers is the mascot of Dozerfleet Productions, along with the titular three bulldozers themselves from the tale. He is a man torn by patriotism amidst tragedy. Good at heart, but brooding and determined to succeed in spite the odds. The very beginnings of Dozerfleet Productions were in November of 1993, when the founder at a very young age began keeping collections of doodles made in-between lectures in 3rd and 4th grades. The dream was inspired first in 1988, after the would-be founder studied several movies and TV shows from the 70s and 80s and decided it would be his dream to make media productions. The first collection that would be retained, with an actual brand, started on October 10th of 1994. The initial idea was through drawings and sketches, which later gave way to a combination of these with short stories and later scripts and novellas. Hardly any original material was to be found back then, but it was a start. In August of 1996, the first real name was given for the collection: Flamingo Entertainment. This would change to Cormorant Entertainment in August of 1997, and would again change to its current name of Dozerfleet in May of 2006. The name change from Cormorant to Dozerfleet was inspired by numerous things. Among them was the fact that the founder had outgrown the "Cormorant" name and design scheme. Another was the founder's fascination with the artwork for Batman Begins. The name of "Dozerfleet" was also inspired by the fact that the nickname given to the founder of Dozerfleet while rollerblading at the Edru's Skating Rink in Holt, MI in the winters of 1998 and 1999 was "The Bulldozer," due to the fact that anyone who collided with him usually was "plowed down" in the attempt. This nickname for him was first assigned by then-classmate Kenny McCollar. The two were attending Holt Lutheran High School (known back then as St. Matthew's Lutheran) at the time. In November of 2007, after several failed attempts at getting a dedicated HTML host, the Dozerfleet Forum was added as a place for public discussion about Dozerfleet content past, present, and future. In January of 2011, the Forum was replaced with a Blog, which became the official home of Dozerfleet on February 17th of 2015. The initial blog on Blogger was phased out on October 1st of 2011, and old posts were archived. The blog was later revived on Tumblr in September of 2012, when Tumblr proved to be a more useful service than Blogger. The brand otherwise divided its operations into two overlapping camps: purely extracurricular projects, and education-related projects. During the latter Cormorant era, projects specific to assignments at Lansing Community College were classified accordingly, separate from the regular list of projects. This categorization of projects continued with the transfer to Ferris State, and later to the founder's internship at SWOCC Studios. After graduation, the founder began simplifying the operation to concentrate purely on brand development without the need to also pander to an educational facility. The brand expanded its comics division in late 2015-2016 to develop the concept of a "Dozerfleet Gigaverse," allowing for more authors to associate their works with the brand while maintaining a framework to keep most continuities preserved. Literature Dozerfleet is divided into five main divisions, though there is massive overlap amongst them. This is why the 2016 logo rarely uses the word "Productions" in the title: Except for extenuating circumstances where a specific division logo is called for, it is now recommended to use the simple "Dozerfleet" logo across the board for all division material. Dozerfleet Literature is the division that handles the text files for Dozerfleet, and also is the flagship for most web publication material. It is merged with "Dozerfleet Web." [Dozerfleet Database|This database]] is considered a part of the Literature division, documenting material on all associated projects. The Dozerfleet Forum was once a message board system for the brand, since done away with. The Dozerfleet Blog was merged with the main website, to become a site on Tumblr that links the rest of the online Dozerfleet Network together. Wilinski Forest was a side operation of the Blog, which discussed non-Dozerfleet news events. This was eventually done away with to avoid creating competition for friends who were doing the same thing - and due to low viewer counts. Characters from Dozerfleet Comics are given plugs on the Marvel: Avengers Alliance Fanfic Universe Wiki as well. Outside of this, Dozerfleet Literature also includes the DeviantArt account BulldozerIvan (named after mascot Ivan Wilinski.) Via Dozerfleet Labs and its line DzMD, certain characters may also be downloaded for inclusion in others' games. For The Sims 4, several Camelorum Adventures characters have been made available on Mod The Sims via the BulldozerIvan account there. For fans, a Megaverse Roleplay group was created on Google+. On top of all this, Dozerfleet Literature manages the Official Facebook Page. Comics Dozerfleet Comics has the most overlap with Literature, primarily in regards to utilization of the database and social media. It is the sub-brand most directly acknowledged when discussing timelines and continuity of works and characters within works. On Dozerfleet-affiliated devices, the "Comics" folder usually stores Dozerfleet-related images, whereas the "Literature" folder stores Word documents and similar files. If not for a few specifics, however, then the Literature and Comics divisions could be considered one and the same. The Comics division operates what is known as the "Dozerfleet Terraverse," which includes literally all projects that have chosen some or another affiliation with the brand, regardless of author. Within the Terraverse is the Gigaverse - those works by multiple authors which may or may not acknowledge works in the Megaverse. Works inside the Megaverse include the universes and multiverses of works and associated continuity that the Dozerfleet founder himself inceived. Works inside multiverses - such as the universes making up the Gerosha Multiverse - may or may not acknowledge each other's existence. The Percolation Wave Event allows for some universes within the Gigaverse to interact with one another that otherwise would not be capable of hosting crossover events. Because of this, all universes have a Universe Interactivity Status rating associated with them. In general, characters in the Terraverse and Gigaverse which are not native to the Megaverse may only make guest appearances in the Megaverse in Camelorum Adventures, and rarely get to appear anywhere else. This is so that non-Megaverse authors can have their original timelines respected as much as possible. Others All music-related Dozerfleet endeavors are handled through the division known as Dozerfleet Records - which on this database, also carries song lyrics for Every Ape and His Brother parodies. Videos are handled through Dozerfleet Studios, which operates through a YouTube channel. Dozerfleet Labs handles inventions, web trinkets, software development, and the creation of DLC for games. The DLC center is known as Dozerfleet Machinomic Downloadables, or "DzMD" for short. DzMD takes characters from the Comics division, and converts them to characters various other formats. DzMD conversions are sometimes done for Sims 3, Sims 4, or MakeHuman downloads, though GTA format has been attempted.

Under the Dozerfleet Code of Ethics-Variable (DOZCOV), language is the most heavily-regulated aspect of the content quality control process. Euphemism policy The use of "marshmallows" is tolerated, provided they are not tacky or done in a tacky manner. They are to be used most often when silence or double-entendre alone are not sufficient, or in the place of blatant profanity. Examples: Cad sakes, doggit, sniggit, frog-slam, sheesh, oh come on, etc. Sexual slang Some very mild sexual slang, provided it's obvious and the situation calls for it in context, may be used. Gratuitous use is strong advised against. “F bomb" usage is usually not allowed. Some euphemism is allowed for the f-bomb, but only reasonable amounts and includes "freakin'" and "flippin'" in the list. More obscure ones are generally forbidden. Comical euphemisms of sexual obscenities are generally not allowed, but exceptions include featherclucker, featherplucker, and variations. Obscure and degenerate sexual slang is best if completely avoided. Hell, Damnation, etc. References to “the damned” may be used, when appropriate. However, use of "drat" or "damned" as an adjective where it is not contextually appropriate is not advisable. "Hell" is to be used sparingly, except when talking of it as a place or state of condition. Colloquial use is to be handled carefully. Except where rating restrictions apply, Dozerfleet is the most lenient on violence. However, there is a particular dislike under DOZCOV for sexual violence and for mixing sex and violence. As a result, depictions of BDSM and similar perversions is generally frowned upon. Kissing is permitted, though homosexual depiction is not allowed. Almost no homosexuality is allowed. No bestiality, or acts pertaining specifically to BDSM and hardcore porn, are to be allowed. Exception is that equipment may be shown, just not while it’s in use. Very little teen sex is allowed; and is best avoided whenever possible. Frequency of sex should remain reasonable per character and partner. Excesses are to be avoided. Sex scenes are preferred to be blurry, to obscure as many details as possible. Appearance of nipples, rumps, and genitalia are all but forbidden. Upper body shots must be predominating. In the case of full-body shots, the lower half of the couple must be under a blanket or equivalent article for purposes of obscuring details. Fornication’s consequences should be emphasized. Even married couples must face the consequences if their frame of mind is unsound or their reasons unsound.

Ride of the Three Bulldozers is a short story written by the Dozerfleet founder in 2009, based on a daydream from 2006. It takes place in the world of the three bulldozers in a "fleet" that are the inspiration behind both the name of Dozerfleet Productions and its stylized "D" symbol. Ivan defends his forest. In a Slavic village somewhere, there was once peace. Then, a group of outsiders that did not share the locals' beliefs in a republic seized control and tried to turn the town into a socialist state. Many of the locals went along with the revolution, at least at first. An outspoken critic, local bird store owner Ivan Wilinski, was quickly run out of town. He managed to find an old underground bunker, with various instructions left behind from the previous tenant for his successor to take note of. Ivan took the literature he found in that bunker to heart. He utilized what he found in the bunker to better himself. He learned how to hunt - and shoot to defend himself. However, the regime that seized control became obsessed with finding him and killing him. He learned to utilize the forest not far from town as his ally, in an effort to make himself as much a nuisance to those who would attack his forest as possible. He established a set of spy cameras that he had acquired, and set up surveillance around his former town. He learned that the regime was becoming more and more oppressive, and things were turning ugly. He began to fume with anger, and then started networking with other outcasts to form a revolution of his own to take back the town. In time, a group of rebels got behind Ivan. They seized a construction vehicle warehouse, and began turning the vehicles into improvised tanks. A march on the ravaged town occurred one evening. In front of everything else of the rebel force entering town were three bulldozers. The Dozer Fleet not only cleared a path by ridding debris from blocking the revolution; it also became a symbol of defiance against the regime. After a night of blazing fires and war, the regime was overthrown. The townsfolk never saw Ivan again; but set up a statue immortalizing the three bulldozers that became Ivan's symbol for righting wrongs in the world. The story of Ivan's revolution first began shortly after the Dozerfleet founder grew frustrated with EZBoard and with Lansing Community College. Considering transferring to Ferris State, he also began to feel that the old Cormorant Entertainment brand name had been outgrown for the brand's purpose. The bird, and all it symbolized, had come to lose its meaning. A push began then to replace the bird symbol with something else. He remembered back to the year 1998, when then-classmate Kenny McCollar called him a "bulldozer" for the way he skated. The idea occurred to put that new identity, which seemed more appropriate for what the enterprise had become, to good use. In a daydream, the founder envisioned that the old Cormorant bird was minding his own business inside his pedestal. Then, someone came and hurled accusations against the bird. Not wasting any time, this was followed by the glass being smashed. The bird was yanked out, then burned alive. The other elements of the Cormorant Entertainment logo were then smashed to pieces. Three bulldozers arrived the following evening, surrounded on all sides by fire. They quickly swept away the remains. Revolutionaries popped out of them, and fought a bloody battle to avenge the bird. With the bird gone, the three bulldozers themselves became the new symbol. May of 2006 saw the main station for Cormorant Entertainment finally log out of that username for the last time. In its place, Dozerfleet Productions was officially the new brand name that took its place. The happy, cheery music that went with the Cormorant brand back in the day was speedily replaced with the Batman Begins soundtrack. The song "Molossus" in particular proved inspirational in how the new brand name's design philosophy would be framed. In 2008, a first attempt was made to write a fictional short story for the official Dozerfleet website that would capture the spirit of the rebranding. Ivan was originally known as "The Birdmaster, who became the Bulldozer." The idea arose later on to give the character an actual name: Ivan. In 2009 and 2010, the story would be slightly re-written to reflect that. Plans exist to eventually rewrite the entire story as a full-fledged novel. However, those plans have been shelved for the time being. In 2011, DozerfleetWiki moved from Wiki-Site.com to Wikia. Only a short time after the move over, the original server containing the Wiki-Site version went kaput, obliterating all trace of the old version. In 2012, it was decided that Ivan's last name would be "Wilinski." Ivan Wilinski's character design was highly inspired by that of the pirate Robert Mullins from Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates. Ivan has a longer and thinner mustache, a slightly different hat, is smarter, and has a Slavic origin rather than a Brooklyn origin. Ivan also does not wear earrings, nor does he have a scar over his one eye. Ivan also lacks Mullins' ponytail.

I need to know the origins of "frog-slam." It has way more subliminal obscenity than any other euphemism I've heard, in the sense that if I heard someone say it in person, I would legitimately worry about them in a way I wouldn't for someone just cursing.
