What's _______ for you guys? Also, I truly believe they don't know. They just say no, out of some bizarre corporate reflex.

For me, ________ is basically all sports games that have ever been broadcast. Most of them are just locked away somewhere, with literally no legal way for anyone to see them.
You're correct about my quixotic naïveté. I haven't explored the ideas much, but need to, as this has been on my mind. I have hesitated sharing my stories and details thus far because I am unsure about this exact issue. In addition, I'll admit my business sense is poor in this exact area. I've owned a body shop twice and was the Buyer for a chain of bicycle shops. I'm great with numbers, statistics, working; anything intellectually intuitive I excel at. I like to play in the weeds too much. I suck at the emotional side of politics and sales. So when it comes to networking I suck on so many levels. I've had the experience of people taking advantage of my openness and kindness on far too many occasions to count.
So, I have a unique take on an entire future SciFi universe unlike any that have been explored so far. I have a large mind mapped tree that keeps expanding and many ideas and stories started. I'm a total amateur that wants to explore my mind more than anything else, but I would like to share the experience. How do you think I should do that and prevent someone taking advantage of me in the off chance that anyone cares or pays attention to what I create?
I think you should maintain that hopefulness; people like you are an endangered species these days.
I am very much not a lawyer, but I will say that right now the advantage is to you if you hold on to your rights; in the United States and most developed countries, you are able to do that simply by recording your story in a retrievable form. I would recommend researching your options for how to release some portion of those rights without getting shafted by a big company; your play might be a Creative Commons license, or something similar.
