Summer Camp 2021 Pledge
Which project are your worldbuilding efforts tied to?
Which world are you working on?
I'm working in the world where this article is stored, the Kingdom of Moskova which is setting of the books in which I'm currently working. It includes Moskova and some other countries.Which area of the world are you working on?
By now, I know that I'll be working mainly in Moskova , the country in which the novel takes place and I won't be expanding to other nations yet. However, I hope the prompts will help me to dive deeper into the supernatural aspects of the world as well as the cultural ones.How much are you aiming to complete?
As everyone on here, I'd like to complete the 31 prompts, but I know that since July will be a busy month and I don't want to force anything or getting overwhelmed by something that's supposed to be fun, I'm just aiming to try and go on my way, completing what I'm able to do. I know that, while some prompts will be easily adjustable to my setting, others will be more challenging and others even may be too specific for being suitable. I'd like to get at least the copper winner badge, since I'm a fan of badges so, I know I have to write at least 10 prompts. From my experience of World Ember last year (event in which I wrote 10 articles and 10.27K words in around one and a half week), it is a goal I guess I could achieve. However, it will depend on my mood, the kind of prompts (since for me is easier to write from scratch than from an already existing idea) and available time. I'll let life surprise me! However, I think that despite the badge, the actual prize is increasing the development of this world as well as improving my language and writing skills in an enjoyable and funny way with the company of cool people.When will you write?
I'll try to write when I'm not busy with my stuff of real life just as spending time with family/friends and taking finals, since July is the month of my winter break, which is actually just a break of classes, as exams and finals keep going.Who is your supporting network?
Thanks to World Ember and the WA's discord server, I've met lots of awesome and talented people who's inspiring me as well of encouraging me to work in this world. Below I list some on them, but there are a lot more!Kiosko de paella

Organizing my worldbuilding
Organization is something I've never considered myself good at, but organizing my worldbuilding has as advantage that it takes less effort for me or someone else to find something quickly. Since the beginning of my page in World Anvil, my articles are sorted into several categories, each one regarding to a different thematic and article template.Each category is also divided in subcategories. This is an aspect of this world that's in constant development.Categories | subcategories | function |
---|---|---|
Out of universe |
|
Gathers articles related to things that are "outside " this fictional world, such as this article, the primer, guides and each book's information . |
Characters from "Seeking for the Lost Northern stars " | _ | Gathers all the characters from the main novel this universe revolves around. |
Cultural |
|
Gathers all the articles related to in-world cultural aspects, from myths, ethnicities, countries etc. |
Locations |
|
Gathers all the articles about places of Moskova, both natural and man made. Some of those places appear in the books, while others are not plot related. |
Image Inspiration
For imagining, writing but also for showcasing graphically the concept of my world, i use several kinds of graphical resources. My preferred mediums are self-made images such as digital drawings and pictures taken by myself, but sometimes i've got not enough time for making them so I have to use others alternatives, for example using some help of AI softwares or even using pics taken by other people or ancient artpieces, obviously crediting their original authors. SOFTWARES USED FOR DRAWING/CREATING PHOTOREALISTIC IMAGES- MS Paint.

"I pledge to write the prompts of Summer Camp or at least, to try to do it taking care of my academic life and mental health as well of supporting my friends' work and encouraging them to achieve their goals."
How do you get the author profiles?! You can't beat badges :) and I see you not accepting any constraints! I'll watch to see if you hit any of the folk tales, I want to read more of them. I like examining small details happening along side the plot so interested in seeing you consider the non-plot articles.
Share your world on Lavani's Reading List!
I appreciate you like it hehe :D The author profile can be done with BBCode, you just have to write [ usercard: username ] (without spaces) and it's ready. Yes, I'm trying to develop the folk takes too, I hope some of the prompts help me with it. I already have like 4 + a prologue for the anthology written :)
