There are only two hard problems in fiction: getting exposure feedback naming things (characters, places) writers having no sense of math Negrek has the gist of it in pretty much the opening of the second para, I feel. And that points to a thing that also relates to the thread title that I...

I couldn't complete this one beforehand due to work, sorry for that, but here it is. A look at how a third party views conflict in the worlds under the Shackle: WBJ 2024 Prompt 5.2 "Culture: A Toast for Your Failures Depending on who you ask in the world of -fríd, the people of Notgos are...

Thanks for the interest. I'm probs going to post one more post on the details of the Shackle in particular, but it's probably not going to be until #5 - Culture when it becomes more directly relevant. Oooooor I can find an excuse to write one more "free slot" post later during some downtime...

Hello everyone. I wanted to introduce a new setting I'm working on: a Pokécentric setting comprised of two sister worlds. A number of showcases will be published in this thread, based on kyeugh's alt prompts for Worldbuilding June 2024, a shorter, more paced-out format that facilitates getting...

Hey everyone, staff in particular. Wondering if this thread, Worldbuilding June, would better suited if moved over to the Fic Discussion area? It's currently sitting in General Chat. I can see arguments for and against, and the thread *has* sat (sit? sut?) comfortably on GC for a good insert...

A Force in Time Riolu and Shinx fought with all their might, but they were cornered by a ravine and the destructive powers of the Yveltal before them were too much. They were so thankful Celebi was here to help. Something started ringing. The two Pokémon looked around, Celebi simply looked...

Into the Fire It wasn’t often that Kommo-o got to spend much time with his hatchlings. They were already old enough to wander about and now they wanted to learn everything about the world. Since they were frolicking outside the nest, poking plants and mock biting each other, Kommo-o clanged...

Torn from the Heavens We thought we’d have all this time for ourselves. After all, we’ve watched eras come and go. Rain would turn to drought as I combed the mountaintops setting up a nice feather nest, to your liking. Castles were built then torn down while you lured me closer with the dance...
