Book Progress Update #3 (and some other updates)

Hello everyone,
  First off, I just want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for me in the #WAWA2024. I'm genuinely touched to have been included on the shortlists. Honestly, writing is something I do in my spare time, and I entered the competition just for a bit of fun. To discover that people genuinely appreciate my work is both exhilarating and a bit surreal. I'm overjoyed and deeply grateful, especially to be recognized alongside such incredibly talented creators. Thank you all so much! :)
  Now, onto the book updates. The last few weeks have been particularly hectic at work, which has meant slower progress on the book front—I've reached about 125 pages. It's not as much as I hoped, but I've also taken some time to revisit earlier chapters. I've been tweaking the pacing, correcting errors, and refining parts of the narrative to ensure it flows better.
  Looking ahead, things should be a bit quieter at work this week, which means I can dedicate more time to the book and further develop the world of Nexarium Arcanis (that title is still a work in progress). I've brainstormed several new concepts that I'm excited to explore within our cosy little Grimdark Galaxy.
  Thank you once again for all the support and positivity you've sent my way. I hope you all have a wonderful week. Looking forward to sharing more soon!
  Warm wishes,

Stormwatch Forecast: WAWA Finalists, Last hours for Voting, off to Europe!

As the title of this post hints towards, the last few weeks have been a whirlwind for me, trying to get ready for my study abroad in Barcelona; I didn't even realize that it was already the last day for WAWA voting!
  If you haven't yet cast those fabulous votes, then I'd love to invite you to check out the three finalists I have in the running, and also just serve as one more reminder to check out all the amazing entries and vote accordingly!
WAWA 2024 Finalists
Generic article | Apr 25, 2024

The 6 articles I have submitted for the 2024 Worldbuilding Awards -- if you think they are deserving, please give them a vote!


  As for me, this update post will probably be pretty short and sweet. I'm still packing and getting ready and dealing with life stuff of things like my partner's car dying and trying to figure out how to help with that before I leave in a couple days xD I am very excited for my trip though, it's going to be a nice vacation from crazy hard semesters and an opportunity to see parts of the world that I've never been to! I am going to take so many pictures and look at so much architecture :D Most of my time will be spent in Barcelona where my schoolwork and accommodations are, but I plan on making some trips out of the city here and there too -- I have the opportunity, I wanna do it! Any fun recommendations? :D
  And with that, that's that! Looking forward to travels, looking forward to summer camp, and looking forward to rest. What is it you're looking forward to as we get into the summer months here? Any fun plans? :D Let me know!

Sharing the love for the (now-ending!) Worldbuilding Awards! Go vote if you havent yet!

Hey there!   You may remember me threatening to showcase some of my favourite stuff from the Worldbuilding Awards shortlist... Well time got away from me, so I will have to do this briefly.   If youre reading this because you already follow me, you may know that I was absolutely blown away by the nominations I received for a few of the categories. If youre new here, hello new person, nice to meet you!   In any case I wanted to take this opportunity to briefly thank all of you for this amazing support. It already is the highest honor for me to be considered a part of the few who made it onto the shortlists. There are so many amazing creators out there and to count myself among them is honestly still very surreal to me.   Speaking of: I would like to take this time to highlight just a few of the amazing people who also can be voted for. These are not necessarily the exact ones I voted for myself, but they all would have deserved the votes nonetheless!   So in no particular order, please do check out these amazing beans and their great work!   Finally, this brings me to my request for anyone still reading! Go vote!! Do it here! Give your vote to anyone on the list who seems to deserve it. If some of you decide to vote for me, thank you so much, but ultimately, thank you already for getting me to this point :)   #WAWA2024 #SharetheLove #GoVoteAlready

A showcase of our most beautiful work for #WAWA2024

As with all of World Anvil's beautiful worlds, there isn't just one article which encapsulates the care we've put our layouts, the CSS, the BBCode trickery, the writing, and the illustration. Barron, Hiive, and myself have worked together to make articles that POP — sometimes for their simplicity, sometimes for their grandeur, and sometimes for their quirks. Generative imagery has certainly extended the possibilities, but there's nothing great that effort and expertise can't make even better.   We've got dozens of widgets, 12 unique article-level styles, and the work of several artists on display.   Below are some of the showcase articles we've put a lot of love into.  

Shoutout to Strixxline for making these summaries!

  I recommend starting with the Intro to Technology — a short and sweet overview of the three different technology families of Ethnis — Mechanic, Organic, and Psionic.   For articles centered around Lorsynth's illustrations:
  1. Grimoire
  2. SulaRutas
  3. Jhoutai Atlas
  4. Geode Coral
  5. Sazashi
  Species and Characters
  1. Aen
  2. Parisan
  3. Lusanti Marchois
  4. Johnny Durange
  Player Supplements
  1. The Dragonback Cantina
  2. Arcology, Episode 1: Pilot
  Romance
  1. Pure of Heart
  2. Bonding Band
  Layout Magic
  1. Noasoani Haute Water
  2. The Recurring Nightmare
  3. Ecology of the Kajh-Tai Region - MAP
  4. Jhoutai Atlas
  5. Old Homes
  6. Kajh Pepper Pickling
  7. The Survivalist's Guild
  8. Anthro

    March Update

    Howdy again. #monthlyUpdate

    What I've been

    Well, things stat to complicate, like an endless stream of crisis, meaning I didn't have much time to focus on writing. There's no unofficial challenges I succeeded, and so all my writing goals from last month's plan.

    To be fair, I didn't publish anything except My Worldbuilding Awards 2024's Entries and the additional update on my lovely timeline for such.

    Speaking of awards, thank you so much for all the loves and follows you gave me! it mean a lot. If you love my works, consider support me on my tip jar at Ko-fi.

    April Plan

    April is consider the hot month in my place. Thankfully, lots of water splashing festival, you know what I mean, may cool the weather down for a bit. As I want to be chilled and relax during this time, writing will be a bit less stressful and more focused.

  • Adventure April!
  • Do something with my Ko-fi page
  • More drawings on my Twitter/X
  • I hope everyone have a great, chilling month, and don't forget to keep yourself cool - the sun is a deadly laser.

    Adchie


    P.S. The first voting phase is over. We'll see who will be on the shortlist during the second phase which started on 13th! #wawa2024

      I'd like to share the articles that I've entered for The World Anvil World Building Awards. It feels strange to self-promote, but I am proud of the articles that I wrote last year. Hoping you enjoy a quick read!   Kaesta - The Main Protagonist for my upcoming novel. She's a survivor, a programmer, and a world builder!

    State of the Manifold - March 24 (Manifold Prompts Edition)

    Howdy all,   Spring rains have finally come to bless my dusty little corner of the American west, and that means it’s time, once again, for the monthly State of the Manifold article. I’ve been busy this month, so let’s get into the updates straight away!   March saw the creation of the #UnofficialChallenge challenge, and, while I had hoped to participate in more of them, I did manage to complete two submissions as of the time of this posting. I took an unconventional approach to Stormbril’s #Marchitecture challenge and submitted an article about an orbital cycler; after all, in space, the difference between a stationary and a moving object is a matter of frame of reference, no? For Jester%’s #OccupationalMarch challenge, I broke with my usual tradition of BCGR-based or system-agnostic writing and posted an article about a custom D&D class I cooked up all the way back in the dim antediluvian epochs of 2014. This former article is definitely worth a look if you’re a tabletop roleplayer because it contains playable stats in not one, but two, different roleplaying systems. Come check them out:     Another thing I did over the course of March was make my submissions for your consideration in the World Anvil Worldbuilding Awards. I don’t have a compiled #WAWA2024 list as such, but these submissions are all up on the WA blog page for the contest. I encourage you to go and have a look at what everyone has submitted because there’s a lot of good stuff out there. And hey, if you see a few Manifold Sky or Sealed Kingdoms articles that strike your fancy, stop on by and consider dropping a like or a vote my way!  
    ESCI Revelation
    Vehicle | Apr 25, 2024
      In other news, the annual #AdventureApril challenge is nearly here. I always enjoy Adventure April because, aside from eliciting some of what I consider to be my best work here, it means that WA suddenly blooms with scores of high-quality articles with interactive content, from basic TTRPG adventures to chose-your-own-adventure ‘mazes’ with varying levels of custom CSS. I’m already marinating a couple of ideas for a challenge article that may or may not be inspired by a recent revisit to Rollercoaster Tycoon 2, but we’ll see how that turns out. Here’s a couple of past submissions I’m particularly proud of:     Anyways, that’s all for now. I look forward to seeing what next month brings. Let me know what you think, and good luck on your creative endeavors as we enter the home stretch on all these writing challenges - both official and otherwise. Onwards!   Regards, BCGR_Wurth

    Dumplings aren't just delicious, they're a symbol of unity. Every corner of the Solar System has their own delightful dumplings, and they're a perfect bite-sized zero G food. They've become a symbol of becoming an interplanetary citizen. This is one of the articles I'm the proudest of, I really love the ways food can be transformative. Extra bonus, next time you have a dumpling, you can think of how you're a citizen of space too!   edit: i just wanted to say that y'all are the best <3   If you want to see this article make the shortlist for the Worldbuilding Awards, please consider giving it your vote!

    World-Building Thoughts #3 - Crafting Living Traditions

    As #WAWA2024 unfolds, I've taken the plunge and submitted a selection of my lore articles. I don't expect to win much, but that's not really my goal—participation itself is a rewarding experience, not least for the visibility it brings to one's work sometimes. This occasion has prompted me to reflect on the themes and topics that attract me as a world-builder. Today, I want to delve into an aspect of world-building that particularly fascinates me: Traditions.   Traditions are not just background elements. Quite the opposite, crafting fictional traditions is an exercise that tests a world-builder's skill over a range of topics: history, cultural evolution, and the development of ethnicities, to name a few. To really get into what a tradition is, one has to ask themselves several questions. For example:  
    • - What are the origins of this tradition?
    • - Why did it begin, and how has it evolved over time?
    • - Has it spread to neighboring cultures, and if so, how has it been adapted?
    • - What meanings do contemporary societies attach to this tradition, and how have these interpretations shifted through the ages?
      These questions highlight the dynamic nature of traditions—they evolve, adapt, and sometimes merge with others, much like languages or species. A classic example from our own world is the Christmas tree, an element that blends pagan and Christian traditions. And why people celebrate the resurrection of a messiah by painting chicken eggs is, of course, another rabbit hole....   When breaking down traditions for inclusion in our worlds, it's useful to think about their components: the origin and associated folklore, how they were adapted into the broader cultural milieu, and the evolution of their meaning and symbolism to contemporary participants.   This exploration of traditions in world-building is not just an academic exercise. The goal is always creating "artificial authenticity", since we want to mimic an evolution that hasn't actually happened, reflecting the complex interplay of history, belief, and identity.   But that's just food for thought, I neither have all the answers, or even all the questions. I'm curious to hear from other creators: How do you approach the creation of traditions in your worlds? Do you follow a similar methodology, or have you developed another way of approaching it?   (Here, I would like the highlight an example of my own work, that follows this methodology and sparked my thoughts for this little blog post. It is just an example, showcasing how a tradition can grow and evolve, influencing and being influenced by the cultures that celebrate it.)  
    Bow to the Harvest
    Tradition / Ritual | Apr 11, 2024

    The 'Bow to the Harvest' is a two-day festival in Morvathia on the 27th of Wyndvahl and the 1st of Arnōt, celebrating the bounty of the land and the cycles of life.

    #WAWA2024 is upon us. I already saw so many good entries that is next to impossible which one to choose for our precious like per category.
      And to make it even a bit harder for you, I have made a small article - really, it is small - with an overview of my entries per category. Give them a read and consider them for one of your likes, if you please. If not, I hope you had a good time with them. :)

    Rising from the ashes, consider the Nomads of Mercury for the Rise of Nations Award!

    The terminator nomads were one of the first things I knew would be in Solaris. A tough people making the most of a hard situation, with many different approaches (scavenging the collapsed cities, trading with outsiders, raiding supply convoys, etc) Now that I reflect on them, and their weird insectoid aesthetics, I really do think they're my love letter to the Ashlanders of Morrowind. Isn't it neat how our worldbuilding is sometimes amalgation of all the things we love?
      If you want to see this article make the shortlist for the Worldbuilding Awards, please consider giving it your vote!
    Nomads of Mercury
    Ethnicity | Dec 31, 2023

    In the harsh extremes of Mercury, the nomadic peoples of the planet live on the edge. Their traditional migration patterns have made the terminator nomads uniquely suited to life after the Scorching of Mercury, but it is by no means an easy life.

    My submissions for #WAWA2024

    WAWA is upon us and it's time to read and vote the amazing articles that people have submitted. Last year I had the honor of being nominated for the Cartography Award.

And to all of you that have read or are going to read them, thank you so much for taking your precious time to read one, two or even all the articles I submitted, and if you also take part in the awards, I'd love to read what you have submitted and, as always, best of luck!!.

    WAWA submissions to consider!

    WAWA voting time is upon us once more and I've submitted four things to it that I would appreciate if you took a moment to read them and maybe consider them for your vote if you liked it! I took the WAWA as an opportunity to finish and edit some of my work, and share Shattered around, to some new faces! The following links are my submissions.

    While I hadn't time to edit either Meeraz or The Creator (doesn't mean I'm less proud of them!), I loved editing Manta Ray as I was a bit unhappy with its previous version; I love how it ended up though! As for the Events of the Shattered, I had it originally only half done and on private. I created a new timeline so I could properly update it to the new timelines and I loved to know more about my world's history as I was filling the gaps!

    I hope you enjoy reading my articles as much as I loved doing them! And thank you if you consider them for the awards.

    I cannot believe it has been a year since the last WAWAs already! Last year I was incredibly honored to be part of the nominees in two categories, so of course I am chasing that high again this year! ;)
      I submitted seven articles in different categories, so in the interest of keeping things easy to find, I made a compilation article: In it you find links to all the submitted articles as well as a summary and a short few sentences of my thoughts on each.
      I hope you (yes, you!) find any (or all ^^) of them interesting and would love to hear what you think <3

    Greenglimmer Ch 10 and Ch 11 are Live and WAWA Entries

    Hey all! Take a sit and read Chapter 10: Yeralis and
    Chapter 11: Rooted.   Vantra and her companions discover that the corrupted magic is more widespread than they thought.  
      #darkfantasy   ****   WAWA! I submitted 6 entries this year. I was like should I? Are they good enough? And then I hit submit anyway. Why is it so scary?   I have an entry from Lapis of Nicodem, an entry from the Wellspring Dragons, and four from Evenacht, and I created a page to make it easier to follow the links. There's a blurb for each entry, too.

      #WAWA2024   ****   After rushing to prettify my entries and struggling with what, exactly to enter, I decided I needed a break, so I don't have anything else for you this week (well, other than the new chapters).   Spring is in the air! Make sure you have your allergy pills handy!   Kwyn

    Put up your radiation shields, and consider the History of Mercury for the History Award!

    Check out the History of Mercury, and if you want to see it make the shortlist for the Worldbuilding Awards, please consider giving it your vote!   I fell in love with the new timescale timelines when making this. I think my favourite is seeing the portraits of related characters on the expanded event view, it looks so cool!

    It's that time of year, and we've put together a few submissions for the #WAWA2024 this year. I really hope those that follow us have enjoyed what we have been creating, and have created this year. We are very aware we are hellaslow at getting the world pages theme nailed down, so appreciate your kind words of support in our half-finish state.
      For the two of us, this is a passion project and we're just grateful that over 100 of you now follow Evalaw, we love you and appreciate you, clearly we're doing something right! There's a lot more to come, and a lot more we want to do with the articles we've submitted and the 1001 edits, re-writes and new articles we have planned that we'll get around to, eventually!
      SO, without further ado. We put together some of the articles we are proud of, and really do hope you like them too.

    WA Worldbuilding Award 2024

    Every time I enter into something on here I sit around going "AHHH, BUT IS IT GOOD ENOUGH??" and every time y'all are the absolute loveliest people about it. So, here I go submitting articles to #WAWA2024 even though I'm fairly certain they won't make it far. Always a chance, right? Alas, nothing from my current world as I've still getting it into shape but all the work I've done on Nebula Burning definitely comes to something good enough to submit.
      Hopefully you enjoy reading my space-fantasy shenanigans!

    Revisiting the Nominees from the Worldbuilding Awards 2022!

    With the release of the new #WorldbuildingAwards2024 event page, it's a good time to look back on past #WAWA nominees and their submissions, as we scramble to put together our own for this year!
      Last year, for the #WorldbuildingAwards2022, I made a collection of graphics for each of the awards and their respective nominees, and now I present the gallery of them all! It's a little silly that I didn't do this sooner, but there it is!

    Also, a note: gosh, so many people on this list became sages in the past year! I had to workshop so many URLs to dodge 404s from outdated slugs!
      Wishing all of my fellow worldbuilders luck with choosing your submissions this year! Just choosing what to submit is already a battle I'm not fully prepared for!
