New Years Resolutions 2025

Devin's Favorite Articles

1

Pranking at the University by AmélieIS (Tradition Special Category)

I love the concept of this tradition. It makes it sound like this university is certainly an...interesting place to study, though one does have to wonder how much studying they get done. The fun illustrations are the icing on the cake.

2

Binding Contract by Pandora9 (Tradition Special Category)

A very detailed look into parts of an interesting society. I especially like that the contract requires willing participants, but that doesn't prevent all problems. Makes me want to read more about this world!

3

Icarus by Kranjax (Vehicle Special Category)

I love how concise but informative this article is. I struggle with vehicles, so I love to see a well-written one by someone else. Plus, I'm a sucker for an "Icarus".

4

Thalassopoúli by Demongrey (Technology Special Category)

I love ships. It might be obvious by the base of my current worldbuilding project. But I really, really love the concept of this ship that has "wings" and is able to travel super fast by rising out of the water.

5

Chronometronome by Shaaman (Technology Special Category)

What makes something living? What makes it a person? What makes it important to someone else? This technology invites you to explore those questions.

6

Mothwalker by Revyera (Species Special Category)

Very intriguing species. Where do they come from? Why do they seem human-like but don't speak or let people see their faces? Intriguing enough to send me browsing the world, which is what we all want from a good article.

7

Seaside by Paul Norris (Settlement Special Category)

This makes me curious about the "Salt to Stern" but also melancholy about what might happen to Seaside if Burim comes back. A nicely conceptualized city.

8

Zhuju by SpyglassRealms (Species Special Category)

Space spiders. Dog-sized space spiders. Somehow I love them anyway? Also in constant love with the coding/layout/design for this world.

9

All the Pages of You - A Romance Subplot by Brinsmead (Plot Special Category)

I really want these books in my hands to read. I'm fascinated by the characters and the plot and the whole thing really.

10

Heart Dragons by FlyerStitch (Natural Law Special Category)

I love them, but I understand why they freak people out. Very interesting concept!

11

The Stars are Watching by Revyera (Natural Law Special Category)

Delightfully creepy. Made me think of the feeling Welcome to Night Vale, which is a favorite of mine.

12

Heart Dragons by FlyerStitch (Natural Law Special Category)

I love them, but I understand why they freak people out. Very interesting concept!

13

Hari Suum by Pandora9 (Profession Special Category)

Every world needs this profession. I like this take on it.

14

Stardust by Those2Nerds (Prose Special Category)

Sad, but somehow hopeful?
