#16

Hallo all! January's flown by, and has been somewhat unforgiving with all the changes that come with a new year. February is also promising to be difficult, and the red panda is doing his best to hang in there and make it through. As with the prior updates, you can expect his prosiac output to be diminished for the time being, with the hope that at some point this year it'll return to what it once was. With that all being said, we're happy to bring you the releases for the past month - we hope you enjoy them!
  Dreaming Draught #15: Furball
A draught for those that need to add a bit of fluff to their lives.
  CURSEd #32: Turkey Bacon Club
On their way back to the HQ, the Peacekeepers assess their defeat and recent events in the galaxy.
  Covenant #39: The Deals of the Demon Lord

  Dreaming Draught #16: Frostep
Should you wish to go walking on water, this might just hit the spot, if you can handle the chill.
 
  And if you'd like to start from the beginning, the link to Valiant: Season 2 is below!
 
  Stay frosty,

"It was nice to learn about the Nalanmarite's culture, from common etiquette and sayings to ideals and languages!" -Lavani

Lavani is a collector of stories. She would love to read about your world. You can submit Summer Camp articles for her to read by leaving a comment on her Reading List here on World Anvil.

So, I have been quiet for a few weeks. First of all, I did not finish SummCamp 2022; I merely did a single prompt, and did not find the inspiration or had the mood to write the others. Certain IRL things also happened that downed my mood further. Honestly, I have not written much at all these last few weeks; I have done some more work on my military train but it goes slow. Although I did work on some other articles during the period when SummerCamp was ongoing, most of which were centered around the Metro system of Niarem. I also did a major update of my city-realm Niarem, and came up with a few new terms that help with descriptions.
  I did, however, make one joke article. A short one, that was actually rather fun to write. A gender-bend potion. With perhaps more negatives than positives, since I did not want to make it too common in my setting. The physical changes it brought forth upon its consumers felt too big in my mind. Its initial power was too great, so I wing clipped it essentially. But, nonetheless, I hope you enjoy it, if you decide to read it. Slipped in a little internet easter egg there too. Comments are appreciated, if possible.
  Another reason why I haven't written anything is that I have been snared by Twitter. I have spent maybe a bit too much time browsing it. Primarily to look at, and comment on artwork I find.
 

Thanks to everyone so far who has reached out via my google form for the #16: A Great Leader of Their People prompt that I'm sponsoring. If you haven't yet, check it out! It's not too late (yet...) I'm planning to cut off responses this upcoming Saturday, August 6th, 2022.
  ALSO, you may or may not have seen that I was featured in Qurilion's Imaginaerium with this article that can help you with adding sound, voice, and personality into your world to help you fully immerse your readers (and maybe even listeners)!
 
  I've also been reading all your journal entries with your upcoming plans. I pray the best and much success in your endeavors this month! <3

In case you missed it, I've decided to sponsor a prompt this year! It's #16: A Great Leader of Their People. Did you manage to churn out the prompt this year? If so, congratulations! You've got the potential to win a spectacular prize package!  

A Promo Bundle that includes...

 

A special short video with music

A Read-Aloud narration of the article

A custom sticker inspired by the work.

  If this sounds interesting, please be sure to fill out this google form linked here.   Yes. I'm quite aware that there is a competition page where I can see all 325 entries in one place. (I linked it above XP) but I have created this special form to gather information about some of the articles. I'd like to know if there are any specific points you'd like me to focus on, AND, most of all, I'm asking if you wouldn't mind me reading some of your articles live on my Twitch stream sometime during this month!  

Please respond to this form by this Saturday, August 6, 2022 so that I can roll out my schedule!

Please note that being read aloud on stream does not increase or decrease your chances of winning the prize package, so it's totally fine if the answer is NO. You can let me know this in the form above as well!  

Whatever you choose, God bless and much success with your August plans! <3
