There are definitely times where it feels weird doing all of this worldbuilding for a NSFW CYOA story where the audience's primary concern certainly isn't cohesive structure or conceptual depth, and there's times where it feels odd talking about the things I create here in a predominantly SFW and "serious" audience.
This isn't one of those times. I had fun conceptualizing the character Fellana and writing about her. I specifically wanted to play around with ideas for why some, but not all, may believe a ficticious character was real that didn't lean into religious connotations, which would seem the "easy" way to go. Anything ever comes of it, someone wants to judge me for having fun wrong, who cares?
The incomparable John Cleese said that the most effective killer of creativity is the fear of making a mistake, and I try to remind myself of that; not always successfully.

Summer Camp Silver!
I'm so happy to have hit silver this morning, having written sixteen new articles. I'm most proud of this article on religion in the Ancient Aphroditian Empire; religion is not something I usually write about, so to be inspired to make this was amazing. I'm fully embracing Camp Chill this year, and not adding any additional stress with personal requirements like previous years. I used to make myself hit, say, 500 - 1000 words for each article, with art, and I'd try and go for all 40 prompts. Not this year! I'm writing as much as I feel like for each article. This seems obvious in hindsight, but I have a habit of trying to overachieve with challenges like this, and it rarely ends well.
Anyone read some articles from other writers they've really enjoyed? Please share! Have you written something you're particularly proud of? Share too!

This is my first Summer Camp. Next month, just before my birthday, I will have been on WA for a year. I am having a blast with these prompts.
The chase between the Smirnov twins on their M-9 Kestrels vs. Adi on her Ozymandias 6000 was one of my favorite scenes to write. It's a shame that the Smirnov's bikes were destroyed in the chase.

And here's the article for Summer Camp 2026 Prompt #30, Hyperspace , a fundamentally misunderstood law of nature in the galaxy because every known galactic civilization has inherited it. No one knows who discovered it or developed the technology to fly through it. That's why many call it "jumping to lightspeed" when travel through hyperspace takes one must faster than the universal constant. It's also why many spacers and smugglers find making journeys in shorter distances rather than shorter times more impressive. When traveling at relativistic speeds, time becomes meaningless as you violate the fundamental relationship between cause and effect. Explore the space inside the endless, 1-sided loop of the galaxy and meet the horror that came from just around the next bend of spacetime.

This one was fun--when I heard the prompt "An abandoned building shrouded in mystery" on the Twitch stream, I immediately thought about the The Ancient Mage Tower in my world, but that seemed 1) too on-the-nose, and 2) like a really big undertaking (as I intend to eventually thoroughly rework all those articles and flesh out a lot more of them). Besides, it needed to be something new!
Ultimately, I decided to revisit an idea I set aside last year: a dovecote--essentially, a big pigeon coop where avian couriers pick up and deliver messages. I started writing this evening, and the article got way too big, so I decided to split the ideas three ways. The first bit stayed in the main article, but I made the other two ideas stories that hang off the main article, and I took advantage of the Prose article type, to see how that worked! I really enjoy the flexibility in World Anvil!
If you have a moment, check out the stories linked from The Hush-Cote: Allowed to Lapse, and A Seven-Count.

As of today, I hit my goal of copper for Summer Camp 2026. Yesterday, I wrote this article, Mugen‑mon , for prompt #23 and today, unexpectedly, I finished an article for prompt #30, Hyperspace . It's hard to express how good it feels to set out a goal, even an easy one like this one, and get it done. With a broken brain, I did it. And I've gotten so much positive feedback that I haven't had in so long. Thank you, fellow campers. I love seeing all of your creative stuff and I appreciate you all in ways I cannot say. I'll share the block for the next article tomorrow or Tuesday. Happy camping!
Way behind, way way behind
"What have I done?"

Man, Summer Camp is fun! We get some provocative prompts, and I thought I'd go a little sideways on this one: "a fictional character some believe to be real". I leaned into something that occupied my little brain when I was a little kid--that sometimes "nobody" might refer to "somebody".
In this story, I went maybe a little creepy with a bogeyman vibe....

Fourth article for #SummerCamp2026, 1st Summer Camp article for this world. This world is a reboot of my old one, where I hope to massively improve. Enjoy a secret hidden in its depths known to only a select few and the gods themselves. The edge of the world is real...especially when something prevents you from going any further.

So, I fell behind on my global updates because this article that I did for Summer Camp Prompt #13: A War that Expanded Territory, and it's the centerpiece of the current story in my campaign - The Kalee-Yam'rii Conflict. It also made me realize I missed a key event in my timeline when writing the articles for Qymaen jai Sheelal and Gekikō‑butai, so I had to go back and edit them. Now that I've taken the time to do that, we're back on track. Happy camping!

Finally had time to write my second SC article! This week and the next I've got lots more free time so I'll be able to put out some more as well. I can already see some room for expansion with this one, but I'm happy with it as is. Maybe I'll add another section at some point but I'm in no rush
_
3rd article for #SummerCamp2026. I've marked it as 18+ given its discussion on fertility, I am actually unsure if it needs to be marked that way, there isn't anything explicit, I think. Anyway, the moon, werewolves, and fertility, what isn't there to love!? I plan to update this article to include non-fertility related effects as well (added to to-do list).
_
Feels like a slow start to Summer Camp, only two articles done, but I've got plenty of ideas in process! For now, enjoy a winter holiday, and then...I don't know, glue stuff together. #SummerCamp

It has been a while since I've done writing in general, life has been good but busy. I am glad to be back and look forward to #SummerCamp2026 ! Here we have my 1st article for #summercamp hope you all enjoy.

Hi all, I wrote 4 articles for #Summercamp today. The prompts are so inspiring. Check them out here: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/elteria-jessilky

Hey everyone! Take a look at the first article I'm posting for the Worldbuilding Summer Camp this year!
In a harsh, arid savanna in Kerine, communities have realized that they cannot sustain themselves as their population grows. As a result, they formed an order of warriors made up of the elder, more battle-hardened warriors of their settlements named The Bones of Isaar, named for their sacrifice and the one who formed the order. They essentially swear off resources that might eventually go to the people of their home, and wander the savanna protecting their people until they eventually perish from the harsh conditions.
Its my take on the prompt "A faction that employs questionable methods for the love of their people." Its a bit of fantasy dystopia with some Nights Watch vibes from GoT too. Take a look if you have a chance!

Let #summercamp begin! Quick and fun way to warm up to Worldanvil! Enjoy this little sticky building material!

SC Prep and Homepage 3.0!
Yay! Finished the final week of Summer Camp prep :) GIMME THE PROMPTS
Also, the other day, I completely reworked the Legends of the Dragonguard's homepage! It's so much cooler now, and it's what I've wanted it to be like for a while! I hope you like it, and I hope the CSS is all good haha. There may be a few things to tweak still, but it should be pretty much finished.
You can check it out now! :)

So here's a big one that I've been getting ready for all year. An overhaul of the homepage of the World of Wizard's Peak! Let me know what you think! #summercamp #summercampprep

Summer Camp Ready!
I finally am back and ready to destroy!!
Actually though, I am so happy to be back on WA, this time with a structured plan of attack instead of just throwing word spaghetti at the wall. I'm ready to write, I'm ready to get feral, and I'm so excited to post my special announcement for real!
There's still a lot to do, so it will be a long way out, but just thinking about it makes me itch to write!
Have an incredible Summer Camp one and all, and best of luck! Hammer time!
Homework Done! I'm ready and locked in for Summer Camp!

Summer Camp is next weekend? My EIGHTH Summer Camp??? Oh my goodness! But hey, at least I've finished my homework nice and early!
I've got lots of prep and planning left to do behind the scenes, but I have my ideas flowing around all of the themes, and the feral energy is building and building... WHAT WILL WE WRITE NEXT WEEK??? WHAT WONDERS WILL JULY BRING US ALL?
I look forward to finding all of that out together!
I won't be going for another Iron Gorge year, but I will still be streaming all Summer Camp! My tentative schedule is outlined in my prep article in week 3 :)

Happy June, World Anvil! I come bearing gifts! Well, gifts that are also self-promotion BUT they're nice things for you, too!
Gift the first is my Pride Month unofficial challenge, linked below. This challenge is for an ultra-short story featuring queer joy. It runs until the end of the month and there are already five submissions (plus one from me and a seventh that was technically too long for the challenge but still available for reading).
These stories are all so sweet and lovely. If you're looking for something nice to read in 3 minutes or less, check them out and support their authors. You still have two weeks if you'd like to add your own to the list!
Gift the second is what I'm calling the altscotch, or alternative hopscotch. Summer Camp Prep this year is in the style of hopscotch, with each week having a new set of 7 tasks. The hopscotch is adorable but the prep tasks weren't working for me. So I created an alternative set of tasks that are more thematic.
If you're struggling with the official tasks or just want to check out some alternatives, you can find my altscotch at the link below. I'll be writing more on my own prep throughout the week, and adding to the altscotch once the fourth and final theme is revealed on Saturday.
Some of you may recall voting for what future guide I should write. A guide on navigation was the winner, and I'm now over halfway done that article. I won't promise an ETA, but it's coming Soon(tm)!
Happy Pride, Happy Prep, and Happy Worldbuilding!

That's my updates. I was expecting to have my books on itch(dot)io up, but no. Why? I was making quote pics and my honey pointed out I had a typo in one of them.
A typo. From the first chapter. In a book that's been out since 2020 and re-edited for the current release. So I got a bit sad and put that aside for a day or so.
Have a great weekend, all!

Welcome to Camp Chill! Come join!
Once next month starts up, one of the biggest challenges here on World Anvil does as well! Summer Camp is a month-long prompt bonanza. It's a creative marathon! To help people all the way to the finish line, I started a camp called Camp Chill. Camp Chill is about sustainable Summer-Camping, preserving our joy, and having a great time together. You can pledge for any badge you want and still be Camp Chill. We've all got our own pace!
Camp Chill was started in 2022, with a set of guidelines written to help people enjoy a Summer Camp where the fire stays lit all month. We're bringing the s'mores, the ice cream for when it gets too hot, fire extinguishers for potential burnout, and we pledge, above all, to have a good time!
If you want to join up, all you have to do is decide to join! A lot of people have chosen to add the awesome badge Rin Garnett made to their pledge or elsewhere on their world. You can do that too by using the ID 4574878. It's not required, but c'mon! It's a badge! Who doesn't love a badge?
I'll share the camp chill tenets below:
- Remember the prompts are suggestions, not requirements
- Write what you're passionate about, leave what you aren't
- Relax when you feel tired
- Fight off any pesky brain-squitos trying to make you doubt your work
- Don't abandon your non-summer camp goals! Write that article you're itching to write, even if it doesn't fit any prompts
Will you be joining Camp Chill? What're your Summer Camp goals? What will you be doing to rest and recharge during July?

Come prep for Summer Camp with me!
Weeks 1 and 2 of the Summer Camp prep are all done, and I'm so excited for the challenge to begin! I've been eagerly waiting for months, gnawing at the bars of my cage. While I'm waiting, I've been updating my Yonderverse Glossary - It's already gigantic, and I've not even scratched the surface! (8,000+ words so far, and less than 200/1947 articles have been checked for needed references)
What's everyone's Summer Camp goals? Diamond, like me, or something else? I'm really excited to write lots of small articles to hit that badge, because I think it'll be difficult for me to write as much, this year. But I've got high hopes!
Summercamp, new world
I'm not abandoning Shadowfire, just trying something different for this year's event.

Kicking off my Summer Camp Prep with reignited passion.
I'd be honored if y'all would join me on this ride!
I can't stop smiling!
Summer Camp has wrapped up, and I’m still buzzing with excitement! This year, my world of Crux Umbra was honored with three article category awards and the Community Award for Most Inspiring World - a truly unforgettable recognition.
While winning is amazing, what really made this experience special were the people who shared it with me.
I want to give a heartfelt thank you to:
- Tyrdal, my accountability buddy, who kept me on track and made sure I didn’t lose momentum.
- Keon, who cheered my world more than anyone else and lifted my spirits with extra motivation when I needed it most.
- Mochi, who is just as wonderfully chaotic and crazy as I am! Finding a kindred spirit in you has made my time here in WA even more fun.
A big thank you to the whole World Anvil community. Your support, ideas, and enthusiasm are what make this platform so magical. Summer Camp, and really any challenge, wouldn’t be the same without all of you.
And of course, the World Anvil team, for hosting such an inspiring event and giving us all the space to create, explore, and challenge ourselves.
Here’s to more stories, more worlds, and more shared chaos!
My winning articlesNow if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be over here, sipping too much coffee and trying to figure out how to cram even more lore into my brain because you know what?? WORLDEMBER IS COMING

The Cherry on Top
After earning a hard fought silver badge for Summer Camp this year, I was prepared to be content with that. With only sixteen articles, I wasn't sure the odds were in my favor for snagging an award, too. Luckily, I was wrong, and one of my more polished entries was chosen as winner in its category.
Answering the prompt "a ritual that has changed meaning over time," it delves into the popular Poliran holiday, Gloaming. Set on an intercalary day that doesn't seem to fit anywhere, Gloaming is a fun-filled celebration centered on liminality which stands everything on its head for a little bit .
Adieu, Summer Camp 2025

Summer Camp is officially OVER!
Massive congratulations to all of the winners this Summer Camp! Tough competition this year. It was so nice to see such a variety in unique authors winning, but props to Imagica, for winning three prompts and Most Inspiring World, with Crux Umbra!
I'm super happy to have won a prompt, myself! My Magical Surge article brought me a win this year, and I'm very proud of that. Unfortunately this wasn't one of my better years in Summer Camp, I'm not feeling overly proud of my work as a whole.
The rules I initially set for myself at the beginning of the event pushed me to my limits, causing me to struggle just one week into the competition. That led me to basically flop about the rest of July and August, struggling to write anything truly meaningful. Next year I'm going to go back to what I do best, which is writing shorter, concise articles. I've been told I write short articles well, which reassures me!
And now we have a fun new challenge to look forward to! Elves VS Aliens? I'm Team Aliens, which one are you?

Hello everyone! It's been a while but I'm joining the last-day gang with my own reading challenge. Enjoy these articles, and give them some love! I will probably read and add more articles to it later because I didn't get to read as much as I wanted.

Well folks, it’s finally ready! It took me a while, but I managed to finish my reading challenge article just before the deadline. Cheers!
I tried to read as many submissions as I could from the hundreds of wonderful creators on this platform. It was a fun experience, though the time limit did stress me out a bit. I’m hoping to set aside more time over the next few weeks to enjoy even more of your stories.

Hello wonderful people.
I know I am late, but I 've finally managed to compile an article with all of my entries for Summer Camp 2025.
I am furiously working on my list for the reading challenge as well!
Hope to finish it before the deadline. There are so many submissions and I am trying my best to read as many as I can.
I 've already found some hidden gems and I 'll be glad to write about them soon.
Until then, I hope you enjoy some of my articles along with some commentary.

July/Summer Camp Recap + Plans for August
No. of Articles Written: 4 (unpolished)
No. of Words Written: 4,495
I pledged Copper for Summer Camp, but never promised myself to complete eight prompts. Sure enough, I lost motivation halfway through and stopped Summer Camp. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with my entries and I'm ever grateful to the community for supporting me <3
Answering "A charity dedicated to helping those in need" is a humanitarian organization dedicated with the difficult task of helping the citizens of the crime-ridden Hantengo Sector.
For "A species that feeds through a symbiotic relationship" are the gentle tree-folk who see the practice of symbiosis as religious and sacred.
For the prompt, "A city many people want to visit", is the largest city in Auxul; the heart of the world and a melting pot of different cultures and ideas.
Answering the prompt, "A place people aren't supposed to go", are the Gates, heavily guarded, ancient portals that offer the only method of travelling between the Upside and Downside.
And finally, for the "A war that resulted in the creation of something new" prompt is a brutal event where angels and demons devoured scores of souls. --- As of writing this, I am currently busy with a game jam; my very first one, at that :D Because of this, I won't be doing the reading challenge.
How did Summer Camp go for you? ^^ #SummerCamp2025

I also started featuring other Anvilite’s work that I like on my world’s homepage (and discord), every Tuesday I’ll pick a new thing to feature, and write a little blurb about it and what I liked (I did forget one week because it was a day before I left for a family reunion).

My first Summer Camp Journey!
Summer Camp was so much more than I expected: exhausting, uplifting, and absolutely unforgettable. Full of madness and magic! I talked and got to know better some amazing people, met some new, awakened the badge goblin inside me, and poured my heart into every word.
I decided to make this hub article to hold my first ever Summer Camp journey, all in one place. Some articles are not fully where I want them yet, some are more polished, but I assure you all are made with love. If any of them make you feel something, I'd love to know.
Now it's time for some month long reading! So excited about it!!

The Yonderverse has hit 1 million words!!
Y'all, I don't even know what to say. I've been working so hard on the Yonderverse since I joined World Anvil, 4 years, 4 months, and a week ago. AKA 1,590 days ago.
That's an average of 628 words per day. Not entirely accurate, considering I've missed many days here and there, but I've been pretty darn consistent with this project, taking a week off at most from it at any one time.
I can't thank people enough for supporting my silly little project. Guess I can't call it little anymore! But seriously though, the Yonderverse is by far the best thing I've ever created. I've never given up this much time and effort on a single project, and it is easily the most impressive thing I've achieved.
Like, I've created a world. Everything you read is mine, I've written this. I've thought of hundreds of interesting planets, peoples, thousands of creatures, created conflicts, love, between characters and organisations. Sometimes I stop and think about it, and I realise just how powerful being a worldbuilder is.
But yeah, I'm so excited! I can't wait to see where this world goes. Last night I hit Diamond in this year's Summer Camp, so I'll be polishing my existing entries until the deadline. While I'm judging my prompt, I'll be working on some exciting commissions I've got right now! Aaaand while I'm doing both of those, I'm hopping right back into the Yonderverse Overhaul and polishing up all the old, crap parts of my world. I'll be making more time to write brand new content while I'm polishing old stuff, as I need to find a better balance. But that's next month's problem!
Happy writing everyone!

I just have to say, after what's happened with itch.io this week, that I'm eternally grateful to have Manuscripts. I don't have to worry about my books getting shadowbanned or taken down because they have sexy times or LGBTQ+ characters. Diversity is supported, not repressed (while I know that the payment processors pushed the bans, the way they happened at itch speaks loud imo).

OK, back to my hunt for gold! Hope Summer Camp has inspired you!

Another Summer Camp entry.

Hello everyone!
This is my second year in this lovely, amazing community but first ever post - so it's only fitting that it's all about Summer Camp. When we all began this month of creativity I'd been stuck in a writer's block for ages and nothing felt fun anymore. My novel was stuck. My words never came out right. It's been a little bleak, but the support I found with you all gave me the energy to take my notebook into the forest and start to write. Why was I stuck? What questions remained that I wasn't sure of? What other corners could I flee to when the main setting felt too overwhelming? Enter Summer Camp!
A copper badge has become a silver one and while I hope I can keep going towards gold, I also have a film to shoot all week heh. This is my progress so far and I hope they're worth something, they sure are to me. Especially the Nyrrah. I'd love to meet one in real life.

- My 6th WAnniversary (which was yesterday (July 15th) and I missed it)
- Isekai's 6th birthday
- My 7th! Summer Camp
- And one crazy milestone that we've been waiting forever to reach!
Isekai officially broke 1,000,000 words last week! 4 days before Isekai turned 6, we finally hit the craziest milestone. This doesn't mean we're done, far from it, and you can continue to expect some crazy work in the years to come.
Summer Camp is also going swimmingly. 17 articles submitted with a handful drafted in the background. If you want to follow my journey and see some of the newest articles that made us hit the big word count milestone, check out my SC hub.
Thank you to everyone who has kept pushing us over the years to reach such an incredible number. I still cannot believe we've made it this far.
And another Summer Camp entry - slightly different
"Poor Giant"

Free Bonus Update! (July 15, 2025)
First of all, it’s SUMMER CAMP!!! That means, you should expect at least thirty-two more articles to be published in the world of Secret Agent Someone over the course of July (nine have already been released by the time this update is issued. Check My Summer Camp Pledge 2025 to see). Summer Camp is also going on in my Discord server. Join us there for community, support, and fun!
Second, it’s ArtFight! Despite my previous reservations, I finally caved and put some of my WILLOWISP characters into the game. Now, in addition to our beloved Handsome Co-Host, we have the Petrichor Four: Stewart, Lin, Kay, and Ezekiel! You can check out their pages (if you have an ArtFight account) here. They’ve already been attacked multiple times. XD Paid supporters got a sneak peek at their profiles with supporter benefits. For those of you who are familiar with my medieval fantasy world of Wynsumheord, we’ve also got the bros Magnar and Syndri on there now (and they've been attacked, too)!
Third, I’ve been streaming weekdaily at around 11am ET (sometimes a little late, like today :P) You can catch me on twitch.tv/wordigirl for writing sprints, worldbuilding talks, and other shenanigans! I'm also set for a slot with OhHow this upcoming Sunday, July 20, 2025 at 6am ET!
Fourth, we have NEW MERCH in the shop! Paid supporters receive discounts every month for various products, and even sometimes access to exclusive items before they are available to the public!
If you would like to find out more about supporter tiers, you can do so at this page . There are so many perks and roles that you can earn for as little as $1 USD per month!
Things have been quite hectic but I’ve just been trying to keep praying and keep going. Thank you all for any support you have shown, be it monetarily or otherwise. I appreciate your interest in this project! God bless and much love to all.

Morning Campers!!! Hope you all are finding all the inspiration you need! Curious which prompt has been the most fun so far? For me it was writing the animal celebrity and I dont care what any witnesses may say. I did NOT get misty-eyed writing it! So what has been the most enjoyable in your world-building during #SummerCamp2025?
Another one done
"DISGUSTANG!!"

Busy with life and care of elderly parents who no longer know how to care for themselves. Despite this I did get a late start into week two of #summercamp2025 and got my first Article posted in my world of Evermyst for the event. Looking forward to get as many done as I can but not as many as I would like to for sure.

A bit on a roll here. 4th article "down" as always more can be done and I will return eventually. I hope you all enjoy my take on magical therapy. #SummerCamp2025 #Nourishment #Therapy

3rd article complete!I hope the flow works. This is a long one, I want to save some information for other articles but here is one of the Elysian, deities considered to be Demigods. A playboy turned god who has fathered many many children. #SummerCamp2025 #SummerCamp #Roots
(Late) June Recap & July Updates (New Website!!)
No. of Articles Written: 1 No. of Words Written: 2,930
I elaborate more on each achievement and my plans for July in this blog post. Speaking of which...
I made a new website!
I've been meaning to make a portfolio/blog for posting updates and ramblings for my projects, and I've finally done it and I'm super proud of it ^^ There's isn't a whole lot to see on this site for now, but more stuff is coming soon! ;)In the meantime, feel free to check it out here!
I've also begun work on a new world that will encompass two old ones (which are overdue for a revamp)! There's not much content right now, but there will be soon!
The Afterworlds is a religious fantasy setting that explores the afterlives of humans and where their souls go after being freed from the body. I plan to explore themes of spirituality, religion and varying beliefs on death, souls and the afterlife!
As for Summer Camp, it's going...alright. While I've run out of steam by the second week, I still managed to make it halfway to Copper! Check out my entries here!
Have a good one! <3 #SummerCamp2025 #SummerCamp

The ValentineDM #SummerCamp2025 Copper series~
After a tumultuous first week of July, I've finished the 8 main prompts for the Copper wave! I plan on going back for the wild cards later, but for now we'll be moving on to the Silver wave! You can catch my SC tracker linked on Edda's homepage , but I'll also be posted the article blocks down below for your enjoyment! Here's to many more prompts to come!

Okay so first things first, belated articles from Week One of #SummerCamp25
An infamous prison that has a bloody history and a very quiet (but still unpleasant) present.
In happier news, perfume.
I'm off to a slow start but that's fairly normal for me, because I spend a lot of time doing like... support for stuff I didn't know I was going to write. For example, I'm about to start an article about a character with a bunch of kids, but first I had to figure out what he looks like, and then I had to figure out where he is, which then led me to doing a major CSS overhaul of the maps (not done yet, but mostly functional) and now that that's more or less in place...
Now I can write the article.
Anyway, as usual, focusing on my #DarkFantasy world, but I'm still looking for an excuse to touch on my more bright and shiny world as well. We'll see if I can find one.
Summer Camp Update!
Hello worldbuilders!
Summer Camp has been an absolute blast so far; in one word: AMAZING!
I've been using this creative chaos as the perfect excuse to dive deeper into my dark fantasy, post-apocalyptic world: Crux Umbra. If you've mostly been following me for Kena'an, you might’ve noticed fewer updates there lately, but don't worry, it’s not forgotten! I’m just wandering through ash-covered ruins for a bit.
So far, I’ve written 9 articles, which means I’ve hit the first milestone and earned that shiny Copper badge! My official goal is Gold, but between us... I'm quietly chasing that sweet, sweet Diamond!
I'd love to hear how Summer Camp is going for you! What’s been your favorite prompt so far? Drop a comment with your favorite article you’ve written; I’d genuinely love to read it and cheer you on.
Below are 3 links to the articles I'm most proud of so far, the ones that truly made me lose track of time while writing. If you check them out, let me know what you think!
Happy worldbuilding!
p.s. A huge thank you, once again, to the greatest accountability buddy one could ask for: Tyrdal. If you haven't already, go check his majestic world of Aran'sha!

Copper is secured, onwards to silver
Historically, my favorite Summer Camp prompts have been week 3 prompts, so looking forward to that.
Anyway, here's what I have so far.

It's been a while...and now my first article back is a bit of a joke but its a serious condition! Trust me I've felt it in real life. Just something small to get me in the right headspace. More serious (probably) articles to come. #SummerCamp2025 #Nourishment
