August has gone incredibly fast, but I feel like I've actually got quite a bit done. Obviously, last month was Summer Camp 2024 and was incredibly hectic (but fun). Congratulations to everyone who won prizes and awards at the ceremony today. I am so proud of all of you! :)
This month was also the reading challenge. If you want to read about some awesome mushrooms, check out mine here: Reading Challenge: August 2024. I was lucky enough to be featured in several reading challenges, and people said such nice things about me it made me cry. Thank you, WA community, for being awesome.
I did a little work on #stubocalypse this month, with just two ethnicity articles: The Lurans and The Morash. I accidentally edited one of my SC articles whilst doing those, so I stopped fiddling with stubs for the month after that. Hopefully September will be a better month for the #stubocalypse!
I've also been working hard on the article for Serukis. It is nearly 10k words with bbcode, and I think I'm about halfway through. Not sure anyone but me will read it, but I am incredibly proud of it already.
What is your favourite thing you created this month, and what are you looking forward to in September? I know a lot of you will be doing the new competition, and I will be cheering you on from the sidelines. :D
I have officially squashed two hundred stubs.
And have over a hundred more than I started with, but you know. Sisyphus, like I said before.
I am still mired in the Atlas category, but I have two more stubs left before I leave Serukis behind and move onto Zenra, and then I'll be travelling to a new continent. Looking forward to moving onto Geography, though.
As well as the stubs, I'm also working on the Cabinet of Curiosities challenge, exploring the contents of the Royal Arcanum in Kaien. I am also working on a prompt article for mushrooms, which is more than half done, and I hope I will get to share with you soon.
I am also working on the main article for Serukis (which I am named for, not the other way around). I have just about finished the first section and it's almost at 2000 words... so expect a chonker.
In other news, I recently received the Human of the Match award for WorldEmber 2023, and I cried when I heard my name. This community is so important to me and I'm glad that people feel I am giving back, even just a little.
Hope you're all having a good year so far! :)

With 26k words and 118 enhanced stubs written, I am declaring my WorldEmber finished. I have had an absolutely amazing time this WE, and it more than makes up for the failures of the previous two years. XD
I am about three quarters of the way through the Atlas category and looking forward to continuing to work on it. It's been so lovely having my creativity and excitement back.
I haven't been notifying this WE, but if you are interested in what I have been working on, they are all linked at the bottom of this article:
You might not have seen much from me lately, but that's because I am currently busy working on a big project: the stubocalypse. (Idea stolen shamelessly from Han.)
For every stub in my world, I am writing between 100-200 words and publishing it, including a header and an excerpt. This means my world won't be full of dead links and there is some basic information for readers. :)
My plan is to work on this until the new year, and in the new year I will get back to working on proper articles alongside stubs.
Currently, I have enhanced 27 stubs, and I have 1279 stubs to go. Sadly, I keep making more stubs as I am enhancing stubs, so we'll see if that number goes down or if I am doomed to be Sisyphys.
Here are a couple of my favourite enhanced stubs so far, as I'm not notifying them.
