Worldember 2024
Mid Month Update
This is my first worldember, and my first community event. I started doing this partially out of spite, I had finished a 10k article just days before it started and because I wasn't really part of the community, I had no idea it was even coming up. It was that alone that triggered me to partake, as I had been in my own little world before now. This event has been wonderful, not only have I now hit over 100k at the halfway mark, and expanded so much of my world and my lore, but I've doubled my followers (which isn't much total but regardless I'm thrilled), as well as meeting many in the community and learning about other worlds and creations. I've tackled CSS (still got a long way to go on that one) and have gotten so much accomplished in such a short time and I already find myself excited for next year. I've worked on templates and articles I never would have otherwise. So thanks to everyone for their support, every like and interaction with any of my work is thrilling as I'm sure you know, but before now I was just doing it for myself, sure no one was really ready anything I wrote and getting lost in my own little world, but now having others that read and enjoy the things I write and helping to inspire ideas in others with my creations has been so rewarding. I'm excited to see where my wordcount ends, as I don't really care about winning of the special categories. I already feel like I've won meeting all of you awesome people and expanding my world.End of month Update
With only a few days left, I'm so proud of myself for all of the articles I've been able to finish. This is the most worldbuilding I've done in a long time, and my own personal challenge of staying at the top of the leaderboard for most words written has been a great motivator even if I get nothing from it. I'm most happy about the Frostburg Pack articles I've done. That pack of werewolves is home to my oldest OCs. They have so much history and lore it was really rewarding to get a lot of it down on "paper" so to speak. So check out their page or the Frostburg Pack Hierarchy! I'm excited to see what stories and ideas the new year brings but I think I am ready for worldember to be over haha!Worldember is over!
My first worldember in the books. I did a stupid amount of writing and worldbuilding. I have met so many great worldbuilders during the event and got so much developed in my world that I likely never would have if it wasn't for this challenge. I ended with 196,932 words which is just a stupid amount, I know, but I enjoyed everything that I created. I expanded on my new race of people the Zemanii, hashing out their cultures and tribes, I finally worked out the regions of the Continent Arandor. Entered a few new species like the Dæmon and Lycan, Tanaria now has a Winter solstice holiday called Emberwake, a name fitting of Worldember I think, and my oldest character Ráðúlfr Ulfsson and his pack, the Frostburg Pack, finally have their own articles as well as many other of my characters. I'm so proud of everything I accomplished this month and all of the things I learned. I can't wait for next year and all of the things I will create between now and then!
