Summer Camp 2022 Pledge and Plan

Pledge

Kros? Is it that time of the year again when you promise you will pay me some attention?

— Muse

I think it is. But it's not like I've not been paying you attention, you just inspired other things in my life instead of my writing. But you are right that you need to be thanked properly so that's what I'll do. I, Kros, pledge to expand the world of Hislariya during SC to give my Muse more playmates and a bigger world to interact with. I will collect a list of idea during June and work on them during July. If any fits the prompts, I will submit them as such. Otherwise I will just do a second WE and try to write at least 10k words during July.

The Why and The How

My main external goal with Hislariya is still to improve as a writer, editor, mapmaker and to learn code some CSS.
To achieve this I will need to continue producing new material and sharing it with others, opening it to comments and feedback. I will share the SFW material on the main challenge channel and the NSFW one through private channels.
Hislariya is much more my private garden than something to appeal a vaste audience.
While I will seek and accept criticism and feedback, I won't change the direction of my concept to make it enjoyable to a larger audience or let some challenge veer the worldbuilding in a direction that is not relevant to me and the stories I am creating.
Hislariya is also a gift to the people who believed in it from the very first spark of an idea.
I promised my followers to finish at least 3 sort stories before the end of the year, so one of the priorities is to set the background for those.

The Focus Area

So far the worldbuilding has been centered on the Hottest Spices. It is time to slowly expand beyond it, including more detailed articles about Gend, Quirama Mountains, Bada and the Svajan Sea (possibly adding some core articles about Kithanda too).

Prep work

Fill up TJ's Worldbuilding planner

Map of Hottest Spices.

(optional) figure out how to set up a random table for the Senses Chest content.

Collect a few more images and music.

Collate the ideas from WA prompts lists,brainstorming, TJ's 400 prompts and the existing stub list in a single list.

Tidy up the gallery

Prepare a roundup article.

Edit and review the Meta and Introduction pages.

To Do List and Theme ideas

For the theme Expanse I would probably work on the Svajan Sea and its pirates. For the theme Leadership I can work on detailing some basics about Kithanda, the major country in the setting or write about pirate crews or continue detailing Yarik personal accomplishments. For the theme Discovery I can continue talking about the treatments methods used at the hottest spices and about the caves. For the theme Monstrous I will talk about the mine slavers.
