YDK (short for youdontknow.net) is a website devoted to providing a wide variety of original entertainment, including webcomics, webisode series and short films, a serialized novel and short stories, as well as whatever else we may come up with to include in the years to come. It is the brainchild of half-brained, self-proclaimed "genius," Ben (BJ) Hartsburg, also known as "The Director," as well as by a number of other names. YDK and its contents including Adventures of Ak, The Life and Deaths of Cooter Brown, and Legends of Az are his creations, and YDK will continue to be the home of both these and any other creations of BJ for years to come. However, since its inception, a number of others have also been deeply involved in YDK. They act as characters in LDCB, they encourage, support, and help promote YDK's brand of entertainment, they moderate and contribute to the forums. Some of them even have their own projects to be featured on YDK (sooner or later), OR are co-creators of existing YDK projects. More on these people, and "The Director" in the "About us" section. In this section, we will describe a little bit about our primary avenues of entertainment, giving you a better idea of exactly what it is we offer at YDK...

First of YDK's products is Adventures of Ak (AoA for short). Adventures of Ak is a webcomic updated twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional bonus comics on other days or bonus comics in the forums exclusive to forum members). AoA tells the story of a young alien named Ak as he poses as a human boy in order to go to high school. Although his reasons for coming to Earth, how he got here, or what his intentions are all remain shrouded in mystery, Ak is surprisingly open about being an alien. Even though he avoids talking about himself and appears to regularly give out misinformation about himself or his deeds, Ak's motivations - whatever they may be - don't appear to be malicious. In fact, he even spends his nights as a superhero sidekick, fighting evil alongside his less-than-bright friend, Jeremy, who although he insists that he is a superhero, is unsure of what his powers actually are, or why he thinks he has them. Other than Jeremy, Ak has also befriended a sardonic young girl named Charlie, who despite her constant assurances to the contrary, everyone insists on believing is a male, due to her boyish looks, her name, and the way she dresses. With a supporting cast including an extremely slutty girl, a block-headed football player, a suspiciously friendly gym teacher, and the comic's creator himself, BJ, who spends most of his time mindlessly playing video games instead of working on the comics, Adventures of Ak has endless potential to take its wacky hijinks in any direction imaginable at any time.

Then there's what Bill Bryan of State Farm Insurance raves as "the wildly popular webseries" for a site that respectable YDK-enthusiast Katrina Lynam-Henderson calls "a website started recently in Midwest City," The Life and Deaths of Cooter Brown! LDCB tells the story of the professional wrestler wannabe and intelligence-challenged Cooter Brown as he finds himself somehow at the center of a twistedly complicated plot to end his life. Targeted by his own best friend, as well as a deadly hitman known as Joe Killa, and the elusive Mr. Mister, Cooter will have to face these obstacles and more if he hopes to get to the bottom of all this. Though the bigger question may be: What does any of this have to do with the Moonshine Massacre and the mysterious deaths of over thirty people?! Or perhaps even the bigger question: Will Cooter even be smart enough to learn the truth before whoever is trying to kill him finally succeeds?

And finally, Legends of Az is YDK's resident serial-novel. LoA introduces us to Dock Traz. Gifted with abilities that make him an outcast from the world at large, Traz is driven even from those he may otherwise be able to relate to after his father's mysterious death. Traz must learn the truth not only of his father's death, but of the mysterious dreams that have haunted him since. But this task will be made ever more difficult by the interference of warring factions, intent on attaining something that Traz doesn't even know that he has. Simultaneously aided and hindered by friends and enemies alike, Traz will have to avoid those who would use him, while digging for the truth beneath a slew of mysteries.
