Unofficial MapVember Challenge!
What is Unofficial MapVember?
Most years, in November, people look forward to a multitude of creative projects. There's NaNoWriMo for the writers, and there's WorldEmber prep for the worldbuilders. There was MapVember for a couple of years, but, this year, we noticed it was missing. After a few people from Infinite Imaginations prompted me, I decided to make an UnofficialMapVember challenge!
How does it work???
Simply map out a place, in word or image, and share it anywhere on socials or on the WorldAnvil website using #UnofficialMapVember! There are thirty prompts, one for every day of the month, but you only have to complete at least one to be counted as a participant. If you'd like a badge, share your work with me (WordiGirl) by commenting with the link to your entry below.
Who can participate??
Map it or not, everyone is welcome to join! Write in and about different locations all around your project, draw a picture from a place, or, most traditionally, draft up a map! Bonus points if you make a map using DungeonFog!
2023's UnofficialMapVember prompts are centered around three topics:
Where you do things, Where you find things, & Where you feel things
If you are participating in NaNo, be sure to write about these locations and share the scene as your entry everywhere using #UnofficialMapVember!
THE SHINIES HAVE BEEN UNLEASHED!!!!!

This is why our community is so awesome! If you dont mind I will probably be dropping this article block in my WE prep article. I may be able to bend a few of my WE prep things to fit some of these.
Here is a link to what I am doing. https://www.worldanvil.com/w/kohtalo-drunkenpanda951/a/mapvember-and-worldember-prep-article

Hi there. Life has been a bit of a whirlwind, I apologize. I added the bbcode for to paste badges a while ago but forgot to actually update people. Sorry! Your entry should be embedded in the article and you should be able to copy and paste the badges wherever you please now. Thank you for your patience and I appreciate you entering once again!
