Another piece of artwork from me!

This one is actually an older sketch that I did one day while I was on lunch break at work. I was kinda bored so I grabbed a small sketchpad I owned and drew this quick sketch. I drew this in the vibe of 90s anime style, in particular the style used in OVAs such as Ninja Scroll, Cyber City Cedo, and Goku Midnight Eye.

What I'm Reading! Issue 256

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 256!

So, how's the WorldEmber prep going? Got planned the world or worlds you'll worldbuild in? If you've more than one world, that can be a challenge to figure out! But no matter one or more worlds, planning is key to WorldEmber. It gives you a roadmap of where you're going, which helps stave off the dreaded... "where do I go from here?" To help with some inspiration, I've found a few from past WorldEmbers! So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

The Road Goes Ever On

Once again, I grabbed my satchel and set out on the digital road to find some unexplored countries in the Anvilspace. As always, the Anvilspace didn't disappoint!

Still working on getting my Augmented Valor cyberpunk noir world here on World Anvil. I love worldbuilding, and appreciate the platform giving me the ability to bring my worlds to life.

I am participating in Novelember and have (so far) managed to keep my daily word count where it needs to be, excepting such writing as this.

What I'm Reading! Issue 255

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 255!

So long Spooktober but hello Novelember and WorldEmber Prep! With Novelember, 50K of prose is a lot. But, it can be done! Still, it takes some dedicated time and energy to do that. Then again, so does WorldEmber! Thinking of trying one or the other? Tackling both isn't out of the question but, hm, that might be really tough! Either way, it's a lot of writing! So I'll keep my rambling short! :D I've got a few good ones from Spooktober, so we can give that challenge a fond farewell. 

So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

I didn't write anything for Spooktober. I am participating in NovNov, even though I have no intent at the moment to publish a book. My writing is not exactly setting the world on fire, but writing keeps me entertained. I started writing again, after a nearly 20 year break, at the suggestion of my VA therapist for post-service PTSD therapy.

I am loving the new writing prompts. Below is one of the first entries I wrote at a WA prompt.

5 Things that are taboo to talk about in the Augmented Valor World

#SharetheLove #anvilspace #Spooktober #UnofficialChallenge

All right, so... I did some mini-articles to reach the 13 article minimum to succeed at #Spooktober25. I'm going to try to do at least one more full length article, but at least I get the badge now.

Anyway these are small articles, but sometimes quite significant even so. I'm only going to include the minis I think are interesting - the rest can be found on my '25 - Spooktober homepage if anyone is really that curious about finger foods of the fey.

The resting place for great heroes and Chosen Ones.

"When he came back he hadn't changed, yet he was not the same."

In the silent black where despair gathers, sometimes you hear The Voice.

THE CHALLENGE CONTINUES!

There is still a week left to through your torch in the dark! Come join in the challenge along with four other amazing entrants so far!

What I'm Reading! Issue 254

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 254!

So! Spootober is wrapping up. How many prompts did you tackle? Did you get them all? If not, there's still one more week! Then, after that, comes NovelEmber and prep for WorldEmber! Maybe both? I might try for WorldEmber prepping myself. What about you?

This time, I've tried to find some really fun and inspiring worldbuilding since... WorldEmber is coming! So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

I hope everyone is doing well, enjoying that Fall weather, and staying hydrated!! As usual, I would like to give my many thanks to everyone that is reading/has read All Hallows Queen; I appreciate each and every one of you, each and every day of writing! This post is going to be long, but not corny, so prepare yourself.

No Chapters this evening. I’m diligently working on the next chapters and my plan is to be able to line up the story with the actual calendar year. (The official Story of All Hallows Queen starts on the 1st of Novembris, so if you know, you know.)

Firstly, I DIDN’T KNOW THAT I NEEDED TO ADD A FOLLOW BUTTON TO THE WORLD JUST TO TALK TO YOU ALL. I feel dumb for that and should’ve been paying more attention to learning WA.

I have been working on the map of New Temperantia for the last year, with minuscule knowledge on how to even make one (Shoutout to MapEffects. Not sponsored but damn, it helped soooo much!!) It is also public to view in the world, but please excuse the map markers. I made them from scratch and I’m trying to shrink them down without losing definition. Bear with me, I’m always learning something new. (I would suggest zooming in to see true placements). Information will be filled in as the story goes.

This story is ONLY posted on World Anvil and Royal Road, but I am considering sharing this to a 3rd site. I’m still doing my research on where, but if anyone has suggestions, by all means, share your thoughts. (SquareSpace has been pitched to me on every YT video I watch, so that may also be a thing…)

What I'm Reading! Issue 253

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 253!

Well, we're partway through Spooktober! How's the prompts coming? I have read the most amazing work! Just o much fun. But, that's the fun of Spooktober, right? Just grab a prompt and run with it spooky-style! Have you written enough for the badge? Or are you taking it chill-ghost style and just haunting through those prompts, writing deep? Hey, both are valid ways to do it (at least in my little corner of the graveyard)!

But while I've been writing up my own Spooktober entries, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

UNOFFICAL CHALLENGE!

I'm in a spooky mood, so The Great Tree is proud to bring the community yet another Challenge! Horror, fear, the unknown. What keeps you up at night? What lurks in the dark corners of a quiet house? Is your mind playing tricks on you? You could have sworn you didn't move that chair. You could have sworn you were alone here.

I want to see what you can come up with, I want you to keep us up at night. I want you to flex those creative muscles, and scare the hell out of us. Keep us thinking about it. More info and more here! More unique badges!

#UnofficialChallenge #Thegreattree #Spooky

This one took me... a while... because Isis is a major character and I do like to do those justice. So...

Here's a kind of dark one. Features themes of abuse that could be distressing for people, so proceed with caution.

Matriarch of the royal family, grandmaster of political strategy, celibate succubus, and the ultimate survivor.

A watchful lady for #Spooktober25.

Aditi "Adi" Nizhóní Peshlakai

Working on getting my world built on World Anvil. I've imagined this world for more than 30 years, long before I even knew what cyberpunk was.

I'm moving to World Anvil from Fictionary as the world building options here are significantly better, and it's a little cheaper each month.

My super augmented former Colonial Fleet Marine, Adi, and her story are still a work in progress.

What I'm Reading! Issue 252

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 252!

So, Spooktober is in full swing! Have you given it a try? I've seen a lot of worldbuilding show up, and it's just too fun! Some are large articles, but others are small. Some is worldbuilding, but others are short stories. Which brings up the point, there really is no wrong way to celebrate Spooktober. Not really. It's great fun and a good way to stretch the imagination. So go give it a try!

But, while I've also been working on a few entries for Spooktober, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Follow Spirit, Zoe, and Jack for this uncanny heist in the Seven Cities sprawl

The Dolphin Job

#cyberpunk #shortstory

Last month we were consumed with Kickstarter business. It has been refreshing to get back to some creative work. We love #Spooktober and wanted to participate as much as we could.

This month we’re stepping headfirst into something dark and cursed: the Graven Rings.

Thirteen rings, all cursed. Together they form a collection tied to an ancient story of power, betrayal, and consequence. Every ring carries a history, a fragment of its maker’s sin, and a new way to ruin the life of whoever dares to claim it. Throughout the rest of October, we’ll be writing several of these and the tales connected to them.

For today, we’re starting with two, Drown and Watchful:

• Drowned Man's Halo

The Drowned Man’s Halo, a sailor’s salvation turned suffocating doom.

• Daydream Catcher

The Daydream Catcher, a spider-webbed charm that turns rest into a waking nightmare.

Spooktober Badge Acquired!

We're a week into Spooktober, and I have been soaring through my first 13 prompts by writing stub articles on pretty flowers, each one referencing a friend on World Anvil! I will always take any chance I can to reference the wonderful people on this site, in my own writing, I think it's a really fun thing to do.

Aside from these pretty flowers, I've written two full articles, one on mirehorns, apex predator buffalos, and Nalmaria, a spider-infested planet! I've also written a little prose snippet, There's No Hope, because I'm in dire need of more practice writing prose!

Lots more to come while Spooktober is running, I've plenty of exciting, spooky ideas, and I can't wait to make some awesome things for people to check out!

If you'd like to stay updated on my Spooktober shenanigans, feel free to follow the Yonderverse, we're getting closer and closer to 400 followers!

Oh, and I've now got 500 species articles in my world! A bizarre, yet impressive achievement :)

What I'm Reading! Issue 251

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 251!

So! Spooktober is here! Going to give it a try? If you are, how far into it are you? I'll be trying to tackle a few myself, as I just love Spooktober. This time, I'm seeing a healthy number of short stories answering prompts! That's awesome! For me that feels like right in the spirit of thing (... yes, I went there! ) with a good old fashion ghost story!

But I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Dragonguard Progress Report (DPR-14)

> Issue 14 - Spooktober! And a NEW WORLD!

Follow the Root Directory hub for my worlds, updates, challenges, and more!

I'm disappointed that the Aliens lost in the Worldbuilding Showdown challenge at the beginning of September. I wasn't sure what to write about for the Legends of the Dragonguard world, but it just so happened that I started a new world that week!

That’s right! I’ve got a new world! It’s a dystopian cyberfantasy hellscape world that features unique things, such as the Bitwise Shifters that I wrote for the Elves vs. Aliens challenge.

I was messing around in my test world one night, thinking about redesigning the Dragonguard homepage. I renamed the world to something that was more fun than “Null Test” and gave it the name /dev/null. I like computer-related things and find the concept of null interesting. (if my username wasn’t obvious enough)

/dev/null, also called Null Device, is a device file that discards all data written to it but reports that the write operation succeeded. I had ideas come to mind when I renamed the world, and, with a little CSS later, I now have a rough foundation for my world!

If you'd like to explore my vision of a cyberspace realm, check it out!
/dev/null

Oh, and here’s a very rough and garbage “intro” article.
description.txt

Now these posts are labeled as Dragonguard Progress Reports, so I may or may not log worldbuilding updates from the other world in here. I haven’t decided. However, that world does have its own changelog, though I did it a little differently than LotD. I used a discussion board, so you guys can comment on each “version”!

Here’s a link to it: devlog.txt

In Dragonguard news, my storyteller friends have given me feedback on my world. So, things have updated, such as the menubar on the side. I removed the repeating menu item with the same name as the spoiler button and grouped some items together.

Also, I’ve received my Blue Mission from Blue Fairy 74, so I’ll be revising some out-of-date articles in each of the main categories over the next year. :)

Oh, and now that I have more than one world, I’ve also created a hub world! I’ve decided to also put all WA event stuff on this world, so it will no longer be on the Legends of the Dragonguard world. I’ve also decided to move my “Community Highlight” to this world, too, in addition to most technical stuff I had on the LotD world, and archived things.

Right now, I’ve got my Spooktober 2025 article up! :)

If you have joined the “Event Updates” subgroup on the Dragonguard world, you can now follow my hub world to receive event updates, as I will no longer be using that subgroup.

Root Directory hub world.

Well, I finally got one of my central locations rough entered in my Augmented Valor cyberpunk noir science fiction world. This is very much still a work in progress as I am moving everything from Fictionary to World Anvil.

I hope you all are well and staying healthy! I want to thank everyone that started reading and are still reading All Hallows Queen. This story is coming straight off the dome, so I appreciate every view. Although, you guys scare me with how quick you read, but I bet you all go through whole books a day.

Synopsis: After Nyxis and Bast defeat the creature in the Valkyrie Forest, the Elves return to Chakram where the Commander learns about the ever-present concern past diplomacy: The Void and the things it creates.

#AllHallowsQueen #DarkFantasy #SharetheLove #HighFantasy

Something new from me! After the Elves vs. Aliens showdown, I was reading the Discord chat, and Team Alien—specifically Demon Grey—was talking about using aliens for creativity. While I don’t yet have a full sci-fi or alien world, I wanted to explore a specific lens for the story; sometimes that sparks an idea.

I’ve put together a short outline, and here’s my first installment of Starlit Observations! It will be a duet-style tale, following Ven Solari, a Zephri observer, as he begins watching a human woman, Subject 7.3.9.2343—someone he calls Wildflower. What starts as a mission of observation soon becomes something far more personal.

Creative experiments make me happy, and who knows—maybe this will help me fully develop that other sci-fi setting I’ve been dreaming about. I hope you enjoy seeing where this story goes!

What I'm Reading! Issue 250

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 250!

So! Now that it's over, come clean. Team Elves? Or Team Aliens? (If you want to go Alien Elves? Hey I won't judge!) With that, back to your projects? How are they coming? Or... is it now... prep for World Ember? Swordtember? Spooktober (I love that one!). Maybe something else? There is a lot happening in the fall, just like always, so maybe it's more than one thing?

In any case, I've a few fun ones to toss out. Some new, a few old but I think they'll be good inspiration!

But I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Summer Camp has wrapped up, and I’m still buzzing with excitement! This year, my world of Crux Umbra was honored with three article category awards and the Community Award for Most Inspiring World - a truly unforgettable recognition.

While winning is amazing, what really made this experience special were the people who shared it with me.

I want to give a heartfelt thank you to:

• Tyrdal, my accountability buddy, who kept me on track and made sure I didn’t lose momentum.
• Keon, who cheered my world more than anyone else and lifted my spirits with extra motivation when I needed it most.
• Mochi, who is just as wonderfully chaotic and crazy as I am! Finding a kindred spirit in you has made my time here in WA even more fun.

A big thank you to the whole World Anvil community. Your support, ideas, and enthusiasm are what make this platform so magical. Summer Camp, and really any challenge, wouldn’t be the same without all of you.

And of course, the World Anvil team, for hosting such an inspiring event and giving us all the space to create, explore, and challenge ourselves.

Here’s to more stories, more worlds, and more shared chaos!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be over here, sipping too much coffee and trying to figure out how to cram even more lore into my brain because you know what??   WORLDEMBER IS COMING

The Cherry on Top

After earning a hard fought silver badge for Summer Camp this year, I was prepared to be content with that. With only sixteen articles, I wasn't sure the odds were in my favor for snagging an award, too. Luckily, I was wrong, and one of my more polished entries was chosen as winner in its category.

Answering the prompt "a ritual that has changed meaning over time," it delves into the popular Poliran holiday, Gloaming. Set on an intercalary day that doesn't seem to fit anywhere, Gloaming is a fun-filled celebration centered on liminality which stands everything on its head for a little bit .

#SummerCamp2025 #winner

Summer Camp is officially OVER!

Massive congratulations to all of the winners this Summer Camp! Tough competition this year. It was so nice to see such a variety in unique authors winning, but props to Imagica, for winning three prompts and Most Inspiring World, with Crux Umbra!

I'm super happy to have won a prompt, myself! My Magical Surge article brought me a win this year, and I'm very proud of that. Unfortunately this wasn't one of my better years in Summer Camp, I'm not feeling overly proud of my work as a whole.

The rules I initially set for myself at the beginning of the event pushed me to my limits, causing me to struggle just one week into the competition. That led me to basically flop about the rest of July and August, struggling to write anything truly meaningful. Next year I'm going to go back to what I do best, which is writing shorter, concise articles. I've been told I write short articles well, which reassures me!

And now we have a fun new challenge to look forward to! Elves VS Aliens? I'm Team Aliens, which one are you?

#mochievements #SummerCamp2025

Hello everyone! It's been a while but I'm joining the last-day gang with my own reading challenge. Enjoy these articles, and give them some love! I will probably read and add more articles to it later because I didn't get to read as much as I wanted.

Happy reading and happy worldbuilding!

#SummerCamp2025 #SharetheLove #ReadingChallenge

Well folks, it’s finally ready! It took me a while, but I managed to finish my reading challenge article just before the deadline. Cheers!
I tried to read as many submissions as I could from the hundreds of wonderful creators on this platform. It was a fun experience, though the time limit did stress me out a bit. I’m hoping to set aside more time over the next few weeks to enjoy even more of your stories.

Completed my reading challenge and doubled it, because there were too many good articles for me to limit myself at 10. Even at 20 it was a struggle lol. I also explained my plans for the rest of the year for Chronicles of Hysal, but also for the new setting that i'm cooking up!

Hello wonderful people.

I know I am late, but I 've finally managed to compile an article with all of my entries for Summer Camp 2025.

I am furiously working on my list for the reading challenge as well!

Hope to finish it before the deadline. There are so many submissions and I am trying my best to read as many as I can.

I 've already found some hidden gems and I 'll be glad to write about them soon.

Until then, I hope you enjoy some of my articles along with some commentary.

Yo! What's up? Name's Josh and I'm new-ish to World Anvil.
I'm currently working on 3 5e D&D campaigns using this website using ideas from different video games, books and movies.

I looked high and low for source/homebrew materials so I could run campaigns based on these kinds of things, but alas, my searching was unsuccessful, so I figured I'd make them myself.

The campaigns I'm currently working on are:

1. "The Sinking City: Whispers of the Deep." A campaign loosely based on the Frogwares game "The Sinking City" and mixed with aspects and themes from throughout the Lovecraftian Mythos. Occasionally I'll use materials from Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos to aid in fleshing this campaign out. (75% Complete)
2. "For The Company". A campaign based on the video game "Lethal Company" complete with fan content, and my own personal touch of homebrew. (75% Complete)
3. And lastly, "Tales from the Golden Maze". A Backrooms and SCP themed campaign using an Unrestricted Canon for both universes. (25% Complete)

I'm really excited to see these campaigns finished and hopefully once I'm done I can put them up for y'all to use as well, especially since I'll have to put them up for free because I don't feel like working around copyright restrictions and royalties.

I'm welcome to any and all ideas for how to implement these worlds and ideas for additions!

"Free high-effort content for the people!"

-Josh

I hope you all have been doing well and drinking water!!

As always, I want to give my continuous thanks for everyone that had read, started reading, currently reading, or bringing others on to read.

I’m proud of you all making it this far in the week; I believe that deserves acknowledging! As such, I have a bunch of for you all!!

Chapter 7 is very background heavy with a L O T of details and Easter eggs. I don’t have a definitive release date, but expect the next chapter sometime in September 2025.

I have a HEFTY 8 Archives that I feel comfortable to release. They are currently public and free to view in Aeon. 1 location, 2 extra, and a whooping 5 characters!

THIS IS THE THING I’M PROUDEST OF!!! I actually sat down and spent ample time trying to figure out the UI, and my squirrel brain finally figured it out.

Update: You will have to follow Aeon in order to post, but it is not a requirement to enjoy everything else ¬¬.

Shucks!!! Missed the #summercamp2025 Cut-Off today I was hoping to submit this article: (A Myth surrounding Birth of a Character in your world...)

And with this #8, I close out #SummerCamp2025 with my longest article of the event. There is probably more that can be said and will be said about this superpower of an organization. One of the first factions I ever thought of for this world during its inception long ago. #Magic

I still have a lot more to put into this world, many articles to update with art assets etc, when the time and opportunity arises. I am forever grateful for #WorldAnvil for giving me this platform to share my world with you all. I hope you all enjoy!

#7 complete for #SummerCamp2025. Time is running out one more to go for my pledged goal, but for now enjoy the council tower and little tidbit about the Eternal Queen.

Dragonguard Progress Report (DPR-12)

> Issue 12 - One year of DPR reports!

Follow the Legends of the Dragonguard for updates, challenges, and more!

Can’t believe it's been one year of DPR reports!! And, Summer Camp is just about over, so it's time to read everyone’s submissions.

I didn’t make my goal of silver for this year’s Summer Camp, but I did at least get copper, so I’m happy with that.

I also started featuring other Anvilite’s work that I like on my world’s homepage (and discord), every Tuesday I’ll pick a new thing to feature, and write a little blurb about it and what I liked (I did forget one week because it was a day before I left for a family reunion).

I’ll list the articles featured this past month below! There’s also a form post you can check out to see all the previous featured things.

Glory belongs to those who wield a blade with divine expertise. 6th article for #SummerCamp2025 There is much more I want to say about these blade masters but this will have to do for now.

Hey all,

I've had a silent month, as we were visiting family for the first half of July and I've had a health crash for the other half.

Summer Camp was not an option for me this year, but I do have a new chapter of The Cleansing of Zykyrn Pilkarrz out now.

It's mostly about food. But even as Vazkyr falls in love with the Bluefish Pastry, her overtired mind is trying to tell her that it's not just about food.

Enjoy.

PS (I never know which hashtags to use or whether anyone sees things more if I use them. But it's worth trying!).

I haven't dropped a community update for a long time, but I think it's time. I've earned my diamond bade + 1. I have 33 edited articles submitted with all the quotes. I may add images or updates here and there, but I'm basically done for now. I'd love you guys to take a look and let me know what you think. How're you guys doing?

The Yonderverse has hit 1 million words!!

Y'all, I don't even know what to say. I've been working so hard on the Yonderverse since I joined World Anvil, 4 years, 4 months, and a week ago. AKA 1,590 days ago.

That's an average of 628 words per day. Not entirely accurate, considering I've missed many days here and there, but I've been pretty darn consistent with this project, taking a week off at most from it at any one time.

I can't thank people enough for supporting my silly little project. Guess I can't call it little anymore! But seriously though, the Yonderverse is by far the best thing I've ever created. I've never given up this much time and effort on a single project, and it is easily the most impressive thing I've achieved.

Like, I've created a world. Everything you read is mine, I've written this. I've thought of hundreds of interesting planets, peoples, thousands of creatures, created conflicts, love, between characters and organisations. Sometimes I stop and think about it, and I realise just how powerful being a worldbuilder is.

But yeah, I'm so excited! I can't wait to see where this world goes. Last night I hit Diamond in this year's Summer Camp, so I'll be polishing my existing entries until the deadline. While I'm judging my prompt, I'll be working on some exciting commissions I've got right now! Aaaand while I'm doing both of those, I'm hopping right back into the Yonderverse Overhaul and polishing up all the old, crap parts of my world. I'll be making more time to write brand new content while I'm polishing old stuff, as I need to find a better balance. But that's next month's problem!

Happy writing everyone!

What I'm Reading! Issue 246

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 246!

Oh, last week for Summer Camp! How has it been going? Are you feeling good about your worldbuilding? Writing projects? Hope so! Summer Camp is always so much fun and really, helps a ton with moving worlds along. Just as we hit that last week, take a deep breath, a long sip of your beverage of choice and dive in!

So, while I've been hammering on my own writing projects, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

The Road Goes Ever On

Once again, I grabbed my satchel and set out on the digital road to find some unexplored countries in the Anvilspace. As always, the Anvilspace didn't disappoint!

5th Summer Camp article. A subculture of a refugee people who are trying to blend rather than return to their ancestral home. #SummerCamp2025

Just Finished another Article for #summcamp2025 "The Mageport Pram".

Finally published a work!

So, I may not reach my Summer Camp goal this year, BUT that has come from finishing a short novel! I'll post the link first, and the descriptor afterwards!

You can download it here on the Storytellers Vault for free, or throw some bones my way if you feel so inclined! Reviews are also very valuable and important to me!

Washington Wilds: No Longer Human is a tight novelette set in the World of Darkness, yet requires no pre-existing knowledge to read and appreciate! Set in the real life small town of Ilwaco, Washington, it focuses on Emory Forest, a young woman living a compounding life of grief, but the latest tragedy has come not at the hands of fate, but a monster. No one believes her, however, until the mysterious "state patrol officer" Euhodia Thetis, comes to town.

No Longer Human is a story of grief, paranoia, monstrous horror, and a touch of supernatural action and a sprinkle of sapphic romance, for flavor. If any of that sounds up your alley, give it a shot! Again, it's free so even if you're uncertain, you don't gotta pay!

Sorry for plugging an advertisement during the event, but this is just the first excited step of many to come, for my World of Darkness urban horror AND Edda fiction! Thanks for reading, and I hope I've grabbed at least a few of you~!

Currently, up to 5 summer camp articles. I only need 3 more to reach my goal of the copper rank!

Just Finished my 5th Article for #Summercamp2025. Slow but sure Life has got me pretty busy but hoping to get bronze at least.

Hello everyone!
This is my second year in this lovely, amazing community but first ever post - so it's only fitting that it's all about Summer Camp. When we all began this month of creativity I'd been stuck in a writer's block for ages and nothing felt fun anymore. My novel was stuck. My words never came out right. It's been a little bleak, but the support I found with you all gave me the energy to take my notebook into the forest and start to write. Why was I stuck? What questions remained that I wasn't sure of? What other corners could I flee to when the main setting felt too overwhelming? Enter Summer Camp!

A copper badge has become a silver one and while I hope I can keep going towards gold, I also have a film to shoot all week heh. This is my progress so far and I hope they're worth something, they sure are to me. Especially the Nyrrah. I'd love to meet one in real life.

Well, i achieved Silver!

I just published my 16th article earlier today, and i am now half-way to my SC goal of 32 articles. Its going great so far(we'll see what the prompts are tomorrow, and i hope your Summer Camp is going great as well!

Here's the article that got me to Silver:

Battle of the Glass Sea

New article for #SummerCamp2025!

A cataclysmic war between a fantasy world and a technologically advanced invader (think GATE, but with actual resistance), with paladins destroying tanks, automata and golems getting obliterated by drone strikes, and ending with THREE tactical nukes being detonated over a singing desert, and both factions fighting to a stalemate; a tense cold war between the two factions now prevails.

Visit it here!

River Rush - Summer Camp Update 2

July of this year marks a few important milestones for Shiftrex and I here on WA:

1. My 6th WAnniversary (which was yesterday (July 15th) and I missed it)
2. Isekai's 6th birthday
3. My 7th! Summer Camp
4. And one crazy milestone that we've been waiting forever to reach!

Isekai officially broke 1,000,000 words last week! 4 days before Isekai turned 6, we finally hit the craziest milestone. This doesn't mean we're done, far from it, and you can continue to expect some crazy work in the years to come.

Summer Camp is also going swimmingly. 17 articles submitted with a handful drafted in the background. If you want to follow my journey and see some of the newest articles that made us hit the big word count milestone, check out my SC hub.

Thank you to everyone who has kept pushing us over the years to reach such an incredible number. I still cannot believe we've made it this far.

#RiverRush #IsekaiNews #SummerCamp

Morning Campers!!! Hope you all are finding all the inspiration you need! Curious which prompt has been the most fun so far? For me it was writing the animal celebrity and I dont care what any witnesses may say. I did NOT get misty-eyed writing it! So what has been the most enjoyable in your world-building during #SummerCamp2025?

What I'm Reading! Issue 244

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 244!

Another quick one, as we're deep into Summer Camp now! How is it going? Keeping up with the prompts. They are a bit tougher this year! But it might just seem that way to me. This time I've got what I think is a good mix. Hopefully some good inspiration for your Summer Camp worldbuilding goodness!

But while I've been writing, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Busy with life and care of elderly parents who no longer know how to care for themselves. Despite this I did get a late start into week two of #summercamp2025 and got my first Article posted in my world of Evermyst for the event. Looking forward to get as many done as I can but not as many as I would like to for sure.

A bit on a roll here. 4th article "down" as always more can be done and I will return eventually. I hope you all enjoy my take on magical therapy. #SummerCamp2025 #Nourishment #Therapy

3rd article complete!I hope the flow works. This is a long one, I want to save some information for other articles but here is one of the Elysian, deities considered to be Demigods. A playboy turned god who has fathered many many children. #SummerCamp2025 #SummerCamp #Roots

I made a new website!

The ValentineDM #SummerCamp2025 Copper series~

After a tumultuous first week of July, I've finished the 8 main prompts for the Copper wave! I plan on going back for the wild cards later, but for now we'll be moving on to the Silver wave! You can catch my SC tracker linked on Edda's homepage , but I'll also be posted the article blocks down below for your enjoyment! Here's to many more prompts to come!
