Sorry for some of the radio silence. I've been working on getting some of my books on Amazon. I've been focusing on my writing.

So far I've got one of my miitary scinece fiction short story on my author's page (link below). One of my fictional military memoirs with some erotic moments is posted there as well. I also have a small pamphlet I made while I was an editor and member of the Northwest Independent Editor's Guild dealing with common firearm mistakes in fiction.

Welp, another article dump. Four submissions finished for Spooktober 2026: Yoda , Kolto , Spice , and The Almighty Sarlacc bringing to 12 articles with 13 days to go to get to 21. So far so good. Lucky number 13...

Then I went back and finished Rangarok article from WorldEmber 2024, finally, that had been tough to even think about since then. When I started the article, my mom was still with us, and she used to sit with me while I wrote in the morning and before bed. Her condition went off a cliff shortly afterward, and we had to move again, before she passed away within a few months. It was therapeutic to finally finish it. It's an extremely long article, though it can be read in just the prose sections or the wiki-like sections to get the point, so it's chewable. But I'm proud of myself for pushing to get it done even with the emotional baggage that came along with it.

#Spooktober #Spooktober2026 #Worldbuilding #StarWars #Marvel #DC #Ragnarok #CampaignSetting

Since my last update, I have completed 5 Spooktober articles. Between a low coin balance and adjusting to my new living space while looking for work. Arakami‑Kōrin , Tarushin‑Onna , Mukurogami , Moisture Farming , and Yoda are all put in the books. Yoda, in particular, was a tough hill to climb to feel like I covered the important parts of his history in summary. And, between getting Spooktober articles out, I've been slowly working on the article from WorldEmber2024 that remains unfinished. Harvest is the next category on my list.

I've answered 13 prompts for Spooktober, which means the badge is mine! Come check out some new articles, new stubs, and a bunch of re-written content from 2022.

I'm still going to answer the rest of the prompts, but super happy to have gotten this done so quickly! Please send me links to articles you've really enjoyed writing this Spooktober, I want to read!

#mochievements #spooktober2026

Well, I fell behind on updates, so you get 2 today. I'm okay with this, as I'm running dangerously low on coins. Unfortunately, I am not Khajit.

Anyway, you get space witches and a backwater, desert planet. Datomiyo-Kaminchu and Suna-no-Kuni . An article that focuses on the Shaminism and Witchcraft of Datomiyo, and a desert planet dominated by Jabba the Hutt with sand that seeps into your very soul.

Enjoy.

I meant to send out the update about the completed Igen-mori article yesterday, but the day got away from me, and I went to bed. So, without further delay, here they are. The Jedai-adjacent Shaolin masters from a galaxy far, far away. A monastic order that is one with the Force, and the Force is with them.

#Spooktober2026 #Spooktober #StarWars #WorldBuilding

One of the few, if not just one of two, droids who have never had a memory wipe, I submit to you this well-built, plucky little droid, Ritsudō, as my submission for the "Memory" category of Spooktober 2026. This Class II: R-series astromech droid is the only one who remembers the mysterious person who constructed him, and, little does anyone know, he'll be the only one who remembers all the events of the galaxy for galactic standard decades to come.

Hello, beautiful people of WA!

Today, I have a big announcement for you. My first unofficial challenge is live, along with my first article for #Spooktober. It's actually a mix of both, a... Melange, one could say (if they were French).

Anyway, this is the first time I am doing something like this, so I'm a bit nervous. This is not going to be a competition, just a nudge to write some beautiful stuff and share it with all of us.

I won't say more. You'll have to check out my article. I'm so excited I'm going to burst!

Maybe I can tease you with the challenge's hashtag. It's #cameochallenge.

Cheers!

PS: A little apology to my lovely followers for the faulty link earlier and the accidental spam. Thank you for bearing with my excitement!

The Day the Earth Wept: the night the Sorrow War began

For years, the Elemental Phalanx searched for the Child, the youngest Primordial in Caemothas. Then small elementals began vanishing too.

This is the story of how they found it, deep beneath the mountains of the Elysium Empire, and why the oldest powers in the world turned on the brightest civilization it had ever known.

He nudged it gently, the way he used to when it slept too long and missed a sunrise it had asked him to wake it for.

Nothing

My goal was to write elemental gods who grieve like a family, and to make readers feel the loss of a being that was never mortal at all. It's the origin point for the Sorrow War, the conflict that eventually births the planes of Metal, Wood, and Spirit in my world.

I'd love to hear what lands and what doesn't, especially whether the Primordials each feel distinct in how they grieve.

Content note: the death of a young being, and grief.

Just a note to you, my friend: Don't stop #storytelling, because someone out there, needs what you have, and YOUR story (yes, yours) WILL get to them. Please don't give up...no matter how hard you struggle.

Your words can lift a heart, clear a mind, and possibly save a life.

...someone saved mine.

Please. Don't give up.

This post is a bit late, as I have been concentrating on my books. I finally have two of my small, short books on Kindle.

I posted this chapter a while ago, but hadn't posted it here.

#worldbuilding #Novel #novel #cyberpunk #spaceopera #writing #novelember #Augmented_Valor #SciFi #sciencefiction #hardsciencefiction #militarysciencefiction

Synopsis: After a wild night at the Equinox Court, Nyxis finally learns the truth behind the Fallen Leaves Incident and Geddeon learns more about Frost’s life on Mt. Wynter. But while the elf received answers she would have never expected, the prince would start to question everything he knew about the Claus Family, including Commander Frost.

The prompt I got to sponsor this time around during SC was about a tradition that celebrates love. While I wasn't initially a huge fan of the prompt itself, reading most of the entries that were submitted blew my mind. The ideas were far more varied than I expected for such a (let's be honest) generic prompt, and choosing only ten for my shortlist proved very difficult.

Thank you to everyone who participated!

A short word on my criteria: my main focus (as always) was the writing and the originality of the idea. Artwork, when present, was definitely appreciated, as was CSS, but neither was a crucial factor in my choices.

So, without further ado, here are my ten picks!

#sponsor #SummerCamp26

Funny enough, I created my world of Evenshade because I had just started playing Dungeons & Dragons with some friends and our Dungeon Master asked us to write backstory for our characters. :D It has been a real joy to create more and more in that location over the past year, and our campaign even took us into Evenshade from time to time because there's a bit to draw from.

I get the sense that the campaign we're playing will come to a close near enough, and we'll start a new one sometime in the next few months. If that's the case, and I wind up creating a new character in a new locale, I might just have to create a brand new world!

I'm grateful to the folks who created, run, and continually improve World Anvil to have this wonderful platform for creative writing, and I appreciate you all for the excellent ideas you bring to life on it! I finished my first pass of Summer Camp articles to read a week or so ago, but I keep going back to read more--I'm likely going to add more onto my reading list, because each evening I find more that grab my attention and keep me captivated.

Just posted Chapter 8 of Cryostasis Widow Five Centuries Gone.

Summer Camp always ends so soon!

Before I jump into the reading challenge, I'm excited to share a few highlights from the past month! I didn't get to do as much quality work as I hoped, but I still got my diamond in spite of everything, so I'm proud!

I'll likely get more into the details of everything, reflections, goals, etc. during the reading challenge, but I wanted to drop in for the post-SC update to say thank you to everyone who hung out with me during my streams all month, cheered for my progress, and checked in while life did life things and kept me scrambling.

SOMEHOW we managed to keep Summer Camp relatively chill, even with a world on fire around us. Amazing!

Big love to my Feral campers. We did lots of fun stuff this camp, and I can't wait to return to my post as Feral Camp Counselor again next year!

Greeting, Cartographers and Lore-Keepers!

Over at Raven & Quill, we just published a deep dive into the psychological and geopolitical mechanics of our world, Aithyris (currently updating the master atlas entries to reflect the name change from Aitheia!).

In our latest entry, "The Complicity of the Cage: When the Rust Becomes the Bone," we break down the visceral cost of survival in the Saga universe. We explore:

• The Physics of Pretending: Why empathy requires warmth, and how psychological "rime" or "winter" functions as a biological/magical cloaking mechanism for the Shandaryn.
• The Cost of Complicity: How localized, individual trauma in places like the sunken cavern of Azdam mirrors the geopolitical rot of entire kingdoms making panicked calculations.

How do you handle psychological armor and the lingering consequences of character choices in your worldbuilding?

Check out the full article here: Raven & Quill, Vol. 2, Issue 13

It's time to share some love!

Summer Camp may be over, but the reading never stops!

Here's my Reading Challenge article , filled with some of my favorite discoveries, worlds that completely stole my heart, and creators whose imagination left me smiling, laughing, and occasionally staring at the screen thinking, "I wish I'd come up with that!"

Go show them some love! They've certainly earned it <3

#sharethelove #readingchallenge

I finally (mea culpa) posted chapter 15 of Augmented Valor. We are heading into the spicier parts of the story, so I suggest adult readers.

With the turn of the month, Summer Camp 2026 is officially closed, and the Reading Challenge begins! Anything you're particularly excited to read about? I have a theme in mind for my reading, but it might take me some time to assemble. If you're looking for more to read, I have two suggestions:

First, I've closed out the #submissions">2026 Show Your Colors challenge from June, and there are several lovely stories available for your reading pleasure. They don't count for the official reading challenge, but if you have 3 minutes to spare I highly recommend picking a story and giving the author some love!

Second, you know I can't make this post without sharing my own Summer Camp articles. This year, I started on an epistolary worldbuilding project, in which each article is a series of journal entries. If you're interested in something not quite fantasy, not quite sci-fi, and all quite speculative, you can read the first entry or #articles">see all my SC-submitted articles.

As for me, I'm going to be reading some settlements. After that, I'm very excited to resume work on talos. I have a new project for it I can't wait to start.

#SYC26 #SummerCamp #DoesAnyoneSearchTags #WhyAreTheyCaseSensitive

Gettin' on board the #SummerCamp2026 train by getting all my articles summarized for easy reading! I hope you enjoy my mad ramblings.

I completed my first Summer Camp. This month marks my one-year anniversary on WA. I was not sure what to expect for Summer Camp. I set what I thought to be a challenging goal - 24 - prompts. I actually managed to get 25 prompts answered, but after that nothing else came to mind. I will see what next year's prompts are.

Summer Camp is nearly over. While my output was a lot lower than I wish it was, I still had a lot of fun and learned some important lessons along the way. This may be my last article for the event, if it is I'm stopping three short of getting bronze. That's fine though, I did what I could and I'm happy I was able to do anything at all C:

#summercamp #summercamp2026

Finally made it to 16! I will admit #SummerCamp2026 was a lot harder than I thought (and a lot more exhausting as well), but I finally reached my pledge to silver, and I can't be more proud of myself.

Even through all the hardship and extenuation, it was a fun experience, I've created lore and characters I would never have otherwise and now I love these new parts of my world.

If you're interested (and because one should never stop self-promoting) here's the article number 16 of this year's competition: Nanite silk.

There's still a lot to build in this world, but for now I'll be taking a short break from writing about it.

Well, something broke loose and I've busted out 4 articles in the past couple days, and hit my Silver Medal! Yay. I keep saying, okay, I have to wait a bit before I do a community update, but then it keeps getting pushed back. So, here's a bulk dump for all 4 articles since Saturday: The Independent Territory of 400100500260026 , M-Count , Captain Yō , and The Ooloo Ooloo Feast . Happy camping!

It's all connected, worldbuilders.

We participated in a very feral activity at the campground this weekend, finding the connection between all kinds of prompts, and weaving entire stories around them. I hope our findings help you pull together your last few concepts and this camping season draws to a close!

And in case you missed them...

The Promp Chomp articles are here to give you some ideas on how you can stretch each prompt to settle nicely into your world. Go forth and worldbuild!

Prompt Chomp: Love | SC26

Prompt Chomp: Growth | SC26

Prompt Chomp: Loss | SC26

It's the last week of #SummerCamp2026, and while my output wasn't as high as I wanted it to be, it's still worth it to be able to write these fun niche articles for my world. This one's about the REm Monohook, a cybernetic implant used to traverse the city of Agua Verde to reach areas otherwise inaccessible. Too bad it's poorly made and is more likely to tear your arm off though :p

#cyberpunk #SummerCamp

The Finals!

I have been slightly struggling all Summer Camp, but after creating the Ashfall Saga, I have begun my reclaim. In the past week, I went from being at 11 articles to 22. I just need to plan out the rest of the week. So, here is prompt 22 -- an abandoned building shrouded in mystery.

Take a dive into a creepy, but sad story about a fortress! Enter if you dare.

My Summer Camp submission for my own sponsored prompt, A Military Unit Known for Incompetence. Inside, you'll find what I will be looking at in the articles I judge! xoxo

#SummerCamp2026 #MilitaryUnit

The Hollow Quarter of Tarkashila is where infrastructure, architecture, and memory refuse to let go. It is Tarkashila’s wound, never healing, never closing, never allowing forgetting. It serves as a refuge for the destitute, displaced, and marginalized who have nowhere else to go. And then there are the monsters. The human ones, who slip into the Hollow Quarter to satisfy a hunger that even the Red Lotus is unwilling to sate. And the unearthly ones, who emerge from masterfully concealed lairs to hunt prey throughout the rest of the city.

SC2026 Prompt #33: I really haven't been satisfied with much of what I've done this week for Summer Camp, but I did get my second article done, Nigyō‑no Shisō or The Rule of Two. I think I might be burned out, so I took the rest of Yesterday and all of today off, and I'll pick up sometime tomorrow to do 2 more at least. Hopefully, smaller articles. My brain still isn't back to where it was before, and it's frustrating to take days to grind out what I used to do in hours. But that's recovery. I appreciate all the support and the kind words everyone's given this week when I've melted down. This really is a great community. Happy camping!

I've hit copper!

I just sent in my 8th article for this year's Summer Camp, and it is so nice to be back! This was so much fun, as usual, and I'm proud of the articles that I've written. This new week until SC ends I'll maybe do some touch-ups on the articles, but probably mostly organizing and that kind of stuff (I'm also doing Art Fight for the first time, which is also during July and I'll work some more on that most probably).

Thank you for reading my articles, and good luck to everyone who is still working on their badges!

#SummerCamp

Agnes' SC Homework 2026

The First Betrayer is probably the one article I'm most proud of so far this #SummerCamp2026 Myth that inspired modern funerary rites.

Hello everyone !

First article on Sylâme for one and a half years. Getting back at work slowly with a #SummerCamp2026 article. It's in French, but I'll try to traduce it in english ASAP ;)

Good month of creation to all of you!

Brand New World? During SC2026?

I know we're not supposed to start a new world during the middle of Summer Camp, but I couldn't help myself this time around. In years passed, I forced myself to tuck away new worlds until AFTER Summer Camp was over and then I'd be bored of them and not want to work on them. So they sit there, collecting dust. This year, I changed that.

Enter the Ashfall Saga, a fantasy world were the arcana is everything everyone needs. The world is centered around a new novelization series I'm planning to write once Summer Camp ends, and the prompts are working wonderful with expanding the world, and the novel. Five articles are automatically interconnected, which excites me more.

As I tried to weave this year's prompts with my other worlds, I was struggling. The Ashfall Saga has been a blessing in disguise and I'm starting to catch up. I just got to 16 prompts because of the Ashfall Saga, and I'm hoping to extending that to 24 by week's end, leaving with the final 8 prompts for the last week of camp.

Below is a link (that hopefully works) to the Ashfall Saga. Please feel free to take a look! And remember -- my baby is BRAND new. I only have four articles written total in it. More should be coming soon! <3

Ashfall Saga

#summercamp #SC2026 #fantasy #newworld #worldbuilding #novel

Been in a creative slump for the past two weeks now. A constant cycle of not writing, being upset about not writing, then not writing because I'm upset.

While I probably won't hit my goal of silver for Summer Camp anymore, that's okay. I'm chipping away anyways and even if I don't hit bronze now, at least I wrote something.

If you're in the same boat, take a break, it's okay to not write every moment you get. Even the best writers get a block sometimes, you can do this <3

#SummerCamp #SummerCamp2026 #motivation

Here we are, Article 11, SC2026 Prompt #32 - A character who is the font of a bloodline. Have you heard the tragedy of Kurohō Daisetsu Anoku-shi? It is not a tale that the Jedai are likely to tell you. However, I wrote an entire article about it. And for some reason, I write 4,347-word articles during Summer Camp. You have been warned. This particular character spawns the Shidiasu legacy and the Sukaiuōkā legacy through his mastery of life, death, and ... the word that might get me killed if I say it in polite company. Enjoy!

#SummerCamp2026 #SummerCamp #StarWars

Just posted Chapter 14. With summer camp 2026 taking most of my available writing time, I wasn't sure when I would get to post a chapter again.

#SummerCamp2026 #summercamp #SummerCamp #worldbuilding #Novel #cyberpunk #militaryscifi #sciencefiction #spaceopera

Just finished the #summercamp prompt for "An influential family or dynasty"! I had so much fun creating this and it gave me so many ideas to weave into my novel series! This celebrated dynasty has roots that still run in "unapproved" sectors, and quietly bridges approved harmony and the first embers of resistance. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it!

Didn't expected to come out of this with a new character and that I would love her so much. Can't wait to write about my scary girl...

Meet a little bit about her at The will of Albert Schmidt, my 10th entry for #SummerCamp2026

SC2026 Prompt #24: So, I thought I would be clever and avoid writing a really long article about Jedai or The Force. A Dathomirian article couldn't require that much detail to hammer out a complete article, could it? I ... did not realize how much they had changed from Legends to Canon, and it took a lot of finagling to make their timeline work, as well as some real research into Okinawan culture. So, here they are, the galaxy's witchiest of witches, the Racor riders, and... well, varying levels of Authoritarians, Dathomirians. An ethnicity that spans humans and Zabraks.

#SummerCamp2026 #SummerCamp #StarWars #Kurosawa

Re-returning after family vacation to the beach, I bring to you Mazrael, a character turned NPC from my first D&D session as a GM. A celebrity loved by all #SummerCamp2026, he has lived many lives in his story life (thus far).

Finally made it to cooper! This is my first time participating at Summer Camp, and I must say, it has been harder that I expected, but still a lot of fun. I have developed elements of my world and story I had never considered, and I really like how things are changing.

And because it never hurts to promote yourself, Alkhatam was the article that got me to 8. Now let's see if I don't die getting to 16.

#summercamp2026

There are definitely times where it feels weird doing all of this worldbuilding for a NSFW CYOA story where the audience's primary concern certainly isn't cohesive structure or conceptual depth, and there's times where it feels odd talking about the things I create here in a predominantly SFW and "serious" audience.

This isn't one of those times. I had fun conceptualizing the character Fellana and writing about her. I specifically wanted to play around with ideas for why some, but not all, may believe a ficticious character was real that didn't lean into religious connotations, which would seem the "easy" way to go. Anything ever comes of it, someone wants to judge me for having fun wrong, who cares?

The incomparable John Cleese said that the most effective killer of creativity is the fear of making a mistake, and I try to remind myself of that; not always successfully.

#SummerCamp2026 #NSFW #Fantasy

Summer Camp Silver!

I'm so happy to have hit silver this morning, having written sixteen new articles. I'm most proud of this article on religion in the Ancient Aphroditian Empire; religion is not something I usually write about, so to be inspired to make this was amazing. I'm fully embracing Camp Chill this year, and not adding any additional stress with personal requirements like previous years. I used to make myself hit, say, 500 - 1000 words for each article, with art, and I'd try and go for all 40 prompts. Not this year! I'm writing as much as I feel like for each article. This seems obvious in hindsight, but I have a habit of trying to overachieve with challenges like this, and it rarely ends well.

Anyone read some articles from other writers they've really enjoyed? Please share! Have you written something you're particularly proud of? Share too!

#mochievements #summercamp #silver

This is my first Summer Camp. Next month, just before my birthday, I will have been on WA for a year. I am having a blast with these prompts.

The chase between the Smirnov twins on their M-9 Kestrels vs. Adi on her Ozymandias 6000 was one of my favorite scenes to write. It's a shame that the Smirnov's bikes were destroyed in the chase.

#SummerCamp2026 #summercamp #worldbuilding #cyberpunk #militarysciencefiction #spaceopera #Novel #sciencefiction #ColonialMarine

And here's the article for Summer Camp 2026 Prompt #30, Hyperspace , a fundamentally misunderstood law of nature in the galaxy because every known galactic civilization has inherited it. No one knows who discovered it or developed the technology to fly through it. That's why many call it "jumping to lightspeed" when travel through hyperspace takes one must faster than the universal constant. It's also why many spacers and smugglers find making journeys in shorter distances rather than shorter times more impressive. When traveling at relativistic speeds, time becomes meaningless as you violate the fundamental relationship between cause and effect. Explore the space inside the endless, 1-sided loop of the galaxy and meet the horror that came from just around the next bend of spacetime.

#SummerCamp2026 #SummerCamp #StarWars

This one was fun--when I heard the prompt "An abandoned building shrouded in mystery" on the Twitch stream, I immediately thought about the The Ancient Mage Tower in my world, but that seemed 1) too on-the-nose, and 2) like a really big undertaking (as I intend to eventually thoroughly rework all those articles and flesh out a lot more of them). Besides, it needed to be something new!

Ultimately, I decided to revisit an idea I set aside last year: a dovecote--essentially, a big pigeon coop where avian couriers pick up and deliver messages. I started writing this evening, and the article got way too big, so I decided to split the ideas three ways. The first bit stayed in the main article, but I made the other two ideas stories that hang off the main article, and I took advantage of the Prose article type, to see how that worked! I really enjoy the flexibility in World Anvil!

If you have a moment, check out the stories linked from The Hush-Cote: Allowed to Lapse, and A Seven-Count.

#SummerCamp2026

As of today, I hit my goal of copper for Summer Camp 2026. Yesterday, I wrote this article, Mugen‑mon , for prompt #23 and today, unexpectedly, I finished an article for prompt #30, Hyperspace . It's hard to express how good it feels to set out a goal, even an easy one like this one, and get it done. With a broken brain, I did it. And I've gotten so much positive feedback that I haven't had in so long. Thank you, fellow campers. I love seeing all of your creative stuff and I appreciate you all in ways I cannot say. I'll share the block for the next article tomorrow or Tuesday. Happy camping!

#SummerCamp2026 #SummerCamp #StarWars

Man, Summer Camp is fun! We get some provocative prompts, and I thought I'd go a little sideways on this one: "a fictional character some believe to be real". I leaned into something that occupied my little brain when I was a little kid--that sometimes "nobody" might refer to "somebody".
In this story, I went maybe a little creepy with a bogeyman vibe....

Loving #SummerCamp2026

Famous, funny, and entirely invented.

Fourth article for #SummerCamp2026, 1st Summer Camp article for this world. This world is a reboot of my old one, where I hope to massively improve. Enjoy a secret hidden in its depths known to only a select few and the gods themselves. The edge of the world is real...especially when something prevents you from going any further.

So, I fell behind on my global updates because this article that I did for Summer Camp Prompt #13: A War that Expanded Territory, and it's the centerpiece of the current story in my campaign - The Kalee-Yam'rii Conflict. It also made me realize I missed a key event in my timeline when writing the articles for Qymaen jai Sheelal and Gekikō‑butai, so I had to go back and edit them. Now that I've taken the time to do that, we're back on track. Happy camping!

#SummerCamp2026

Finally had time to write my second SC article! This week and the next I've got lots more free time so I'll be able to put out some more as well. I can already see some room for expansion with this one, but I'm happy with it as is. Maybe I'll add another section at some point but I'm in no rush

#SummerCamp2026 #Modern #Horror #Growth

3rd article for #SummerCamp2026. I've marked it as 18+ given its discussion on fertility, I am actually unsure if it needs to be marked that way, there isn't anything explicit, I think. Anyway, the moon, werewolves, and fertility, what isn't there to love!? I plan to update this article to include non-fertility related effects as well (added to to-do list).

Feels like a slow start to Summer Camp, only two articles done, but I've got plenty of ideas in process! For now, enjoy a winter holiday, and then...I don't know, glue stuff together. #SummerCamp

2nd article for #SummerCamp2026, who wouldn't love psuedo-tryants right? ...right?

It has been a while since I've done writing in general, life has been good but busy. I am glad to be back and look forward to #SummerCamp2026 ! Here we have my 1st article for #summercamp hope you all enjoy.

Hi all, I wrote 4 articles for #Summercamp today. The prompts are so inspiring. Check them out here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/elteria-jessilky

Hey everyone! Take a look at the first article I'm posting for the Worldbuilding Summer Camp this year!

In a harsh, arid savanna in Kerine, communities have realized that they cannot sustain themselves as their population grows. As a result, they formed an order of warriors made up of the elder, more battle-hardened warriors of their settlements named The Bones of Isaar, named for their sacrifice and the one who formed the order. They essentially swear off resources that might eventually go to the people of their home, and wander the savanna protecting their people until they eventually perish from the harsh conditions.

Its my take on the prompt "A faction that employs questionable methods for the love of their people." Its a bit of fantasy dystopia with some Nights Watch vibes from GoT too. Take a look if you have a chance!

Let #summercamp begin! Quick and fun way to warm up to Worldanvil! Enjoy this little sticky building material!

SC Prep and Homepage 3.0!

Yay! Finished the final week of Summer Camp prep :) GIMME THE PROMPTS

Also, the other day, I completely reworked the Legends of the Dragonguard's homepage! It's so much cooler now, and it's what I've wanted it to be like for a while! I hope you like it, and I hope the CSS is all good haha. There may be a few things to tweak still, but it should be pretty much finished.

You can check it out now! :)

So here's a big one that I've been getting ready for all year. An overhaul of the homepage of the World of Wizard's Peak! Let me know what you think! #summercamp #summercampprep

Summer Camp Ready!

I finally am back and ready to destroy!!

Actually though, I am so happy to be back on WA, this time with a structured plan of attack instead of just throwing word spaghetti at the wall. I'm ready to write, I'm ready to get feral, and I'm so excited to post my special announcement for real!

There's still a lot to do, so it will be a long way out, but just thinking about it makes me itch to write!

Have an incredible Summer Camp one and all, and best of luck! Hammer time!

Summer Camp is next weekend? My EIGHTH Summer Camp??? Oh my goodness! But hey, at least I've finished my homework nice and early!

I've got lots of prep and planning left to do behind the scenes, but I have my ideas flowing around all of the themes, and the feral energy is building and building... WHAT WILL WE WRITE NEXT WEEK??? WHAT WONDERS WILL JULY BRING US ALL?

I look forward to finding all of that out together!

I won't be going for another Iron Gorge year, but I will still be streaming all Summer Camp! My tentative schedule is outlined in my prep article in week 3 :)

Happy June, World Anvil! I come bearing gifts! Well, gifts that are also self-promotion BUT they're nice things for you, too!

Gift the first is my Pride Month unofficial challenge, linked below. This challenge is for an ultra-short story featuring queer joy. It runs until the end of the month and there are already five submissions (plus one from me and a seventh that was technically too long for the challenge but still available for reading).

These stories are all so sweet and lovely. If you're looking for something nice to read in 3 minutes or less, check them out and support their authors. You still have two weeks if you'd like to add your own to the list!

Gift the second is what I'm calling the altscotch, or alternative hopscotch. Summer Camp Prep this year is in the style of hopscotch, with each week having a new set of 7 tasks. The hopscotch is adorable but the prep tasks weren't working for me. So I created an alternative set of tasks that are more thematic.

If you're struggling with the official tasks or just want to check out some alternatives, you can find my altscotch at the link below. I'll be writing more on my own prep throughout the week, and adding to the altscotch once the fourth and final theme is revealed on Saturday.

Some of you may recall voting for what future guide I should write. A guide on navigation was the winner, and I'm now over halfway done that article. I won't promise an ETA, but it's coming Soon(tm)!

Happy Pride, Happy Prep, and Happy Worldbuilding!

Welcome to Camp Chill! Come join!

Once next month starts up, one of the biggest challenges here on World Anvil does as well! Summer Camp is a month-long prompt bonanza. It's a creative marathon! To help people all the way to the finish line, I started a camp called Camp Chill. Camp Chill is about sustainable Summer-Camping, preserving our joy, and having a great time together. You can pledge for any badge you want and still be Camp Chill. We've all got our own pace! 

Camp Chill was started in 2022, with a set of guidelines written to help people enjoy a Summer Camp where the fire stays lit all month. We're bringing the s'mores, the ice cream for when it gets too hot, fire extinguishers for potential burnout, and we pledge, above all, to have a good time!

If you want to join up, all you have to do is decide to join! A lot of people have chosen to add the awesome badge Rin Garnett made to their pledge or elsewhere on their world. You can do that too by using the ID 4574878. It's not required, but c'mon! It's a badge! Who doesn't love a badge?

I'll share the camp chill tenets below:

• Remember the prompts are suggestions, not requirements
• Write what you're passionate about, leave what you aren't
• Relax when you feel tired
• Fight off any pesky brain-squitos trying to make you doubt your work
• Don't abandon your non-summer camp goals! Write that article you're itching to write, even if it doesn't fit any prompts

Will you be joining Camp Chill? What're your Summer Camp goals? What will you be doing to rest and recharge during July?
