My Summer Camp 2023 Page

I recently passed a million words and I wanted to cross a million words in style, so I wrote a short story instead of a setting or RPG article. Shoemakers' Stand. I barely got it done before Summer Camp, it was my self-assigned Summer Camp, but now Summer Camp 2023 has begun in earnest.

My plan is to write every prompt because I am an a completionist. Most of this will be on Scarterra, possibly with a Scaraqua focus though I might dip into my other pages for some of these.
