Oh gosh, this is going to be my sixth summercamp! How time flies by! I've finished today my whole homework (included the meta I've been pouting about for the past month) and I wanted to share it with y'all!

And, if you rather a spreadsheet for only yourself, you can find one here!

For the past two or so weeks, I've been hard at working with Iphars, preparing for summercamp (yes, I know I'm hella early). A few days ago, I got surprised with reaching a 100 followers in the world!

To whoever follows the world, I cannot thank you enough. I know the world is a bit on the sleepy side, since it mostly gets updated during summercamp, but this preparation I've been doing is not only for summercamp but for me to feel happier with the world and be able to work outside of events.

I've mentioned a new face! By that, I mean the hard work I've been doing in Iphars, which includes CSS changes and re-formatting. Three of the big changes are: new buttons on the bottom left of the screen, fully re-written and re-formatted introduction, and a shiny new homepage. If you wanna know all the changes so far, at the very end of this journal will be a list!

Thank you again for your support! The following month (while also working on the summercamp homework) I will be working on the categories and creating a tag system for Iphars. With all this said, thank you for reading this little update and have a nice day!

CSS changes

• Re-work of the CSS theme.
• Added a back to world button on the bottom left.
• Customized the search bar and moved it to bottom left.
• Created some social buttons: WA (which leads to World Anvil's dashboard), Skull (link to my website), Discord, and Ko-fi.
• Customized the sidebar navigation and moved it bottom left (it's the button with an icon of a closed scroll).
• Customized and moved the back to top button.
• Customized the map blocks and the map page.
• Customized the search page and the followers page.

World changes

• Gave the world a homepage: small introduction of the world, link to introduction and world's map, recent articles, and a custom category grid.
• Custom content on the sidebar navigation.
• Re-wrote and re-formatted the introduction article, "A travellers guide".
• Started a category re-work (not finished).
• Created a new global cover.
• Moved all old articles to a category called "Old articles" . They all need to either be written or rewritten and will slowly be moving their way (with updated content) to their correspondent category or parent article.
• Created a Fan art article to showcase the amazing art gifts I've been lucky enough to get.
• Created an index of the world's articles. Does not show the articles in "Old articles".
• Wrote a global copyright footer.
• World meta information: gave the world an excerpt, global cover, subheader, credits, description, and tags.

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 had as objective to reach 10k words, as usual, but this year I've managed to reach 25k words!

And more importantly, I'm pretty happy with what I've written! They are more longer articles than I tend to write, having an average of 1,9k between all my 13 articles. And other than worldbuilding, I've even managed to write prose and do a bit of art! So, I think it's been a pretty fulfilling month!

These are the articles I've written this month:

TJ does it better, yada yada, doesn't change the fact that it is truth, thus this month is WE prep time! And, boy oh boy, have a bunch of stuff already done!

First of all! We have the beloved homework made by WA. So far we only have the first (out of four) given but mine is ready!

SECOND! I'm making an unofficial challenge for this WorldEmber! But I need YOUR attention on the article that explains how it works cuz I don't get to pick the symptoms (of course its a condition challenge xD), but YOU, the reader, get to pick one of them!

And last but not least, do you know the camps that appear on summercamp? Such as camp feral, camp dewy diamonds, camp bronze buddies, etc? Well, a bunch of anvilites were talking in the WA discord and have came up with cottages! The cottages are the equivalent of the camps but for WorldEmber and I've got one going on! Check it!
