May 2025 Rewrite Challenge

Sharpen thy quills and warm up the edit button: this May the worldbuilding community invites you to polish past glories rather than chase fresh word-count. From May 1st to May 31st 2025 we’ll be rewriting and refining existing articles, proving that even cherished lore can shine a little brighter.

How to take part

Choose your articles: Anything already published before April 30th 2025 counts. Make it better: Re-organise headings, rewrite text, add pronunciations, art, side-bars, adventure seeds - whatever “better” means for the piece. Log your rewrites: (optional) At the bottom of each article add the line: "Rewritten for May-be 2025 (Copper/Silver/Gold attempt)" or something like that. Submit: post links or blocklinks to the article(s) at the bottom of this page (comments section) before june 1st. Talk about it: if you send notifications, add these tags: #MaybeBetter #UnofficialChallenge For 1, 3, or 5+ rewritten articles you earn a copper, silver, or gold badge:

May-be Better 2025 - Copper

id: 6591798

This would be really helpful for me! I have so many outdated articles XD

Explore the dark and mysterious Inferncenem, the bright and wonderful Caelumen, the dark but magical Ysteria, the vibrant and bustling Auxul or the world of contrasts Mytharae! Have a good one! Join the Discord and chat with like-minded people!

Great idea. Unfortunately, do everything perfect on my first try. 8) Or more accurately, I pretty much tinker with my old articles in small increments all the time. I'll see if any of my old articles needs LOTS of TLC

Sage Scalenex

May 4, 2025 21:03

I found an older article that has lots of material that is now contradicted by my newer material. I trimmed some stuff, added stuff, fixed typos, and added a lot of pictures plus a flavor quote.

Sit down, my friend, and let me tell you of Aran'sha . A world where the sands shift and the stars sing, where the wind carries secrets and the twin moons keep silent vigil over it all.

So in my article I have them in columns using containers. Then It just works!

I don't know you'll do this every May from now on, and if not, I wouldn't mind taking over, but that aside — I've created an article to list everything, similar to what I've done with official challenges. I'll update it once I actually get around to redoing some articles. :)
