What I'm Reading! Issue 253
Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 253!
Well, we're partway through Spooktober! How's the prompts coming? I have read the most amazing work! Just o much fun. But, that's the fun of Spooktober, right? Just grab a prompt and run with it spooky-style! Have you written enough for the badge? Or are you taking it chill-ghost style and just haunting through those prompts, writing deep? Hey, both are valid ways to do it (at least in my little corner of the graveyard)!
But while I've been writing up my own Spooktober entries, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!
Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!
The Road Goes Ever On
Once again, I grabbed my satchel and set out on the digital road to find some unexplored countries in the Anvilspace. As always, the Anvilspace didn't disappoint!

UNOFFICAL CHALLENGE!
I'm in a spooky mood, so The Great Tree is proud to bring the community yet another Challenge! Horror, fear, the unknown. What keeps you up at night? What lurks in the dark corners of a quiet house? Is your mind playing tricks on you? You could have sworn you didn't move that chair. You could have sworn you were alone here.
I want to see what you can come up with, I want you to keep us up at night. I want you to flex those creative muscles, and scare the hell out of us. Keep us thinking about it. More info and more here! More unique badges!

This one took me... a while... because Isis is a major character and I do like to do those justice. So...
Here's a kind of dark one. Features themes of abuse that could be distressing for people, so proceed with caution.
Matriarch of the royal family, grandmaster of political strategy, celibate succubus, and the ultimate survivor.

Working on getting my world built on World Anvil. I've imagined this world for more than 30 years, long before I even knew what cyberpunk was.
I'm moving to World Anvil from Fictionary as the world building options here are significantly better, and it's a little cheaper each month.
My super augmented former Colonial Fleet Marine, Adi, and her story are still a work in progress.

What I'm Reading! Issue 252
Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 252!
So, Spooktober is in full swing! Have you given it a try? I've seen a lot of worldbuilding show up, and it's just too fun! Some are large articles, but others are small. Some is worldbuilding, but others are short stories. Which brings up the point, there really is no wrong way to celebrate Spooktober. Not really. It's great fun and a good way to stretch the imagination. So go give it a try!
But, while I've also been working on a few entries for Spooktober, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!
Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

My new pen display arrived and is working, so my trouble was with the old one failing. Fun times, trying to figure all this out :/
I've been working on the cover of Abyss of Dreams now that I can. It's not quite done yet, but you can see the placeholder on the Wellspring site. I need to get the map done ASAP, too. I've fallen behind, and rushing to catch up has been hard. My honey says I should be kind to myself, my deadlines are my own, and I know this. Still...having a dark fantasy book coming out in Oct is timely.

Last month we were consumed with Kickstarter business. It has been refreshing to get back to some creative work. We love #Spooktober and wanted to participate as much as we could.
This month we’re stepping headfirst into something dark and cursed: the Graven Rings.
Thirteen rings, all cursed. Together they form a collection tied to an ancient story of power, betrayal, and consequence. Every ring carries a history, a fragment of its maker’s sin, and a new way to ruin the life of whoever dares to claim it. Throughout the rest of October, we’ll be writing several of these and the tales connected to them.
For today, we’re starting with two, Drown and Watchful:
The Drowned Man’s Halo, a sailor’s salvation turned suffocating doom.
The Daydream Catcher, a spider-webbed charm that turns rest into a waking nightmare.

TCCKS Spooktober 2025 Entries
Here are links to the articles I have written for Spooktober 2025, all related to The Cat, Crow, & Knitten Show, and all showcasing text which may wind up in my second volume of TCCKS. They are meant more as teasers than spoilers, I hope. Based around the inclusion of the challenge's prompt words, I am trying to inspire myself by crafting tidbits of storytelling based on the direction and ideas I have for the book, which is still a bit vague in my mind. I make things up a lot as I go.
This list will be growing during the course of October, so check back to see what's new!

Spooktober Badge Acquired!
We're a week into Spooktober, and I have been soaring through my first 13 prompts by writing stub articles on pretty flowers, each one referencing a friend on World Anvil! I will always take any chance I can to reference the wonderful people on this site, in my own writing, I think it's a really fun thing to do.
Aside from these pretty flowers, I've written two full articles, one on mirehorns, apex predator buffalos, and Nalmaria, a spider-infested planet! I've also written a little prose snippet, There's No Hope, because I'm in dire need of more practice writing prose!
Lots more to come while Spooktober is running, I've plenty of exciting, spooky ideas, and I can't wait to make some awesome things for people to check out!
If you'd like to stay updated on my Spooktober shenanigans, feel free to follow the Yonderverse, we're getting closer and closer to 400 followers!
Oh, and I've now got 500 species articles in my world! A bizarre, yet impressive achievement :)

What I'm Reading! Issue 251
Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 251!
So! Spooktober is here! Going to give it a try? If you are, how far into it are you? I'll be trying to tackle a few myself, as I just love Spooktober. This time, I'm seeing a healthy number of short stories answering prompts! That's awesome! For me that feels like right in the spirit of thing (... yes, I went there! ) with a good old fashion ghost story!
But I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!
Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

Dragonguard Progress Report (DPR-14)
> Issue 14 - Spooktober! And a NEW WORLD!
Follow the Root Directory hub for my worlds, updates, challenges, and more!
I'm disappointed that the Aliens lost in the Worldbuilding Showdown challenge at the beginning of September. I wasn't sure what to write about for the Legends of the Dragonguard world, but it just so happened that I started a new world that week!
That’s right! I’ve got a new world! It’s a dystopian cyberfantasy hellscape world that features unique things, such as the Bitwise Shifters that I wrote for the Elves vs. Aliens challenge.
I was messing around in my test world one night, thinking about redesigning the Dragonguard homepage. I renamed the world to something that was more fun than “Null Test” and gave it the name /dev/null. I like computer-related things and find the concept of null interesting. (if my username wasn’t obvious enough)
/dev/null, also called Null Device, is a device file that discards all data written to it but reports that the write operation succeeded. I had ideas come to mind when I renamed the world, and, with a little CSS later, I now have a rough foundation for my world!
If you'd like to explore my vision of a cyberspace realm, check it out!
/dev/null
Oh, and here’s a very rough and garbage “intro” article.
description.txt
Now these posts are labeled as Dragonguard Progress Reports, so I may or may not log worldbuilding updates from the other world in here. I haven’t decided. However, that world does have its own changelog, though I did it a little differently than LotD. I used a discussion board, so you guys can comment on each “version”!
Here’s a link to it: devlog.txt
In Dragonguard news, my storyteller friends have given me feedback on my world. So, things have updated, such as the menubar on the side. I removed the repeating menu item with the same name as the spoiler button and grouped some items together.
Also, I’ve received my Blue Mission from Blue Fairy 74, so I’ll be revising some out-of-date articles in each of the main categories over the next year. :)
Oh, and now that I have more than one world, I’ve also created a hub world! I’ve decided to also put all WA event stuff on this world, so it will no longer be on the Legends of the Dragonguard world. I’ve also decided to move my “Community Highlight” to this world, too, in addition to most technical stuff I had on the LotD world, and archived things.
Right now, I’ve got my Spooktober 2025 article up! :)
If you have joined the “Event Updates” subgroup on the Dragonguard world, you can now follow my hub world to receive event updates, as I will no longer be using that subgroup.

I hope you all are well and staying healthy! I want to thank everyone that started reading and are still reading All Hallows Queen. This story is coming straight off the dome, so I appreciate every view. Although, you guys scare me with how quick you read, but I bet you all go through whole books a day.
Synopsis: After Nyxis and Bast defeat the creature in the Valkyrie Forest, the Elves return to Chakram where the Commander learns about the ever-present concern past diplomacy: The Void and the things it creates.

Something new from me! After the Elves vs. Aliens showdown, I was reading the Discord chat, and Team Alien—specifically Demon Grey—was talking about using aliens for creativity. While I don’t yet have a full sci-fi or alien world, I wanted to explore a specific lens for the story; sometimes that sparks an idea.
I’ve put together a short outline, and here’s my first installment of Starlit Observations! It will be a duet-style tale, following Ven Solari, a Zephri observer, as he begins watching a human woman, Subject 7.3.9.2343—someone he calls Wildflower. What starts as a mission of observation soon becomes something far more personal.
Creative experiments make me happy, and who knows—maybe this will help me fully develop that other sci-fi setting I’ve been dreaming about. I hope you enjoy seeing where this story goes!

What I'm Reading! Issue 250
Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 250!
So! Now that it's over, come clean. Team Elves? Or Team Aliens? (If you want to go Alien Elves? Hey I won't judge!) With that, back to your projects? How are they coming? Or... is it now... prep for World Ember? Swordtember? Spooktober (I love that one!). Maybe something else? There is a lot happening in the fall, just like always, so maybe it's more than one thing?
In any case, I've a few fun ones to toss out. Some new, a few old but I think they'll be good inspiration!
But I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!
Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

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
Choosing a winner for my category was tough. It came down to spelling. Always spellcheck, even if you don't think you'll win!
The Spectral Wall was an interesting idea for a never-done structure.
And I won the "transformation caused by a celestial body!" Thank you to the wondrous Strixxline for choosing Sun's Tan as the winning article! This SC was a difficult one for me, as my father's health declined this summer (and he's now in home hospice). I'm so happy one made the final cut, as it makes my choice of a specific article to dedicate to him easy.
I'd also like to thank everyone who read my articles, liked them, and/or shared them for the reading challenge. I appreciate your support! <3 I thought Blue Fairy 74's reading article was everything a SC summary should be.

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.
Happy reading and happy worldbuilding!

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.

Completed my reading challenge and doubled it, because there were too many good articles for me to limit myself at 10. Even at 20 it was a struggle lol. I also explained my plans for the rest of the year for Chronicles of Hysal, but also for the new setting that i'm cooking up!

Yo! What's up? Name's Josh and I'm new-ish to World Anvil.
I'm currently working on 3 5e D&D campaigns using this website using ideas from different video games, books and movies.
I looked high and low for source/homebrew materials so I could run campaigns based on these kinds of things, but alas, my searching was unsuccessful, so I figured I'd make them myself.
The campaigns I'm currently working on are:
- "The Sinking City: Whispers of the Deep." A campaign loosely based on the Frogwares game "The Sinking City" and mixed with aspects and themes from throughout the Lovecraftian Mythos. Occasionally I'll use materials from Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos to aid in fleshing this campaign out. (75% Complete)
- "For The Company". A campaign based on the video game "Lethal Company" complete with fan content, and my own personal touch of homebrew. (75% Complete)
- And lastly, "Tales from the Golden Maze". A Backrooms and SCP themed campaign using an Unrestricted Canon for both universes. (25% Complete)
I'm really excited to see these campaigns finished and hopefully once I'm done I can put them up for y'all to use as well, especially since I'll have to put them up for free because I don't feel like working around copyright restrictions and royalties.
I'm welcome to any and all ideas for how to implement these worlds and ideas for additions!
"Free high-effort content for the people!"
-Josh

I hope you all have been doing well and drinking water!!
As always, I want to give my continuous thanks for everyone that had read, started reading, currently reading, or bringing others on to read.
I’m proud of you all making it this far in the week; I believe that deserves acknowledging! As such, I have a bunch of for you all!!
Chapter 7 is very background heavy with a L O T of details and Easter eggs. I don’t have a definitive release date, but expect the next chapter sometime in September 2025.
[/color]I have a HEFTY 8 Archives that I feel comfortable to release. They are currently public and free to view in Aeon. 1 location, 2 extra, and a whooping 5 characters!
THIS IS THE THING I’M PROUDEST OF!!! I actually sat down and spent ample time trying to figure out the UI, and my squirrel brain finally figured it out.

Update: You will have to follow Aeon in order to post, but it is not a requirement to enjoy everything else ¬¬.

July/Summer Camp Recap + Plans for August
July was quite fun though there were some disappointments, mainly with Summer Camp. Here's what I have achieved last month:
Wrote 5 entries for Summer Camp
Began reworking Inferncenem and Caelumen
Finished making my website
Made a new setting, The Afterworlds
Almost completed my visual novel, Audio Call
Made new lore about angels and demons
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

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

Summer Camp 2025
Hi everyone! This month I wrote 32 articles in my new world of Magical Maths and you can find the full list here. My favourite are: King Vendelin de Liancourt, Mathematics, and Duelling Arena. I hope you were also able to have fun during the event and I look forwards to reading what everyone wrote! #SummerCamp2025 #SC2025 #SienceFantasy

Shucks!!! Missed the #summercamp2025 Cut-Off today I was hoping to submit this article: (A Myth surrounding Birth of a Character in your world...)

And with this #8, I close out #SummerCamp2025 with my longest article of the event. There is probably more that can be said and will be said about this superpower of an organization. One of the first factions I ever thought of for this world during its inception long ago. #Magic
I still have a lot more to put into this world, many articles to update with art assets etc, when the time and opportunity arises. I am forever grateful for #WorldAnvil for giving me this platform to share my world with you all. I hope you all enjoy!

#7 complete for #SummerCamp2025. Time is running out one more to go for my pledged goal, but for now enjoy the council tower and little tidbit about the Eternal Queen.

AAAAND I am finished with #summercamp2025
Greetings from Costa Rica!
I wasn’t quite prepared for this #summercamp2025 experience. The first week, I was incredibly motivated, but by the second week, I completely lost my drive and couldn't bring myself to write. In the third week, I flew to Costa Rica for a month and, honestly, writing slipped off my radar entirely. However, during the fourth week, I made a decision to finish strong. Today, on the last day, I’m proud to say I’ve submitted my final article! What a rollercoaster ride it’s been!
I hope everyone had a great summer camp!

Dragonguard Progress Report (DPR-12)
> Issue 12 - One year of DPR reports!
Follow the Legends of the Dragonguard for updates, challenges, and more!
Can’t believe it's been one year of DPR reports!! And, Summer Camp is just about over, so it's time to read everyone’s submissions.
I didn’t make my goal of silver for this year’s Summer Camp, but I did at least get copper, so I’m happy with that.
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).
I’ll list the articles featured this past month below! There’s also a form post you can check out to see all the previous featured things.

Broken Dulcet Chs 61-Epilogue are Live! and I've Almost Reached Gold!
Tis the end of Broken Dulcet! We have 3 chapters this week, to wrap things up. Take a bit of time this weekend and read
Chapter 61,
Chapter 62 and Epilogue.
Lapis has no idea what to feel, now that the Dentherion Empire's influence in Jilvayna has come to an abrupt end. Midir also has an offer she cannot refuse.
It's been a ride, all! Here ends the Jilvayna Chronicles arc of Lapis of Nicodem. We'll start Re-cast, the first book in the Chaser Chronicles, sometime in September. Lapis and Patch join the new government, the Wolf Collaborate, as chasers, and their stakes will be those who escaped justice for the ills they wrought on Jilvayna, as well as discovering what, exactly, Mesaalle Kez wants.
And, as with all chapters of this serial, the next book will continue to be FREE to read here at Manuscripts, our wonderful World Anvil writing platform.

I have three more articles to write today to reach gold. I'll get there!

My week's been taken up by the end of Broken Dulcet, Summer Camp articles, and waiting for a water pump for my desktop that will probably never get sent because DELL. I hope your days have been productive!

My first Summer Camp Journey!
I had promised myself to go for gold. Somehow I managed to write 32 articles earning that shinny diamond badge in the end!
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!!

Hey all,
I've had a silent month, as we were visiting family for the first half of July and I've had a health crash for the other half.
Summer Camp was not an option for me this year, but I do have a new chapter of The Cleansing of Zykyrn Pilkarrz out now.
It's mostly about food. But even as Vazkyr falls in love with the Bluefish Pastry, her overtired mind is trying to tell her that it's not just about food.
Enjoy.

PS (I never know which hashtags to use or whether anyone sees things more if I use them. But it's worth trying!).

I haven't dropped a community update for a long time, but I think it's time. I've earned my diamond bade + 1. I have 33 edited articles submitted with all the quotes. I may add images or updates here and there, but I'm basically done for now. I'd love you guys to take a look and let me know what you think. How're you guys doing?

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!

Surprisingly managed to get this one done. Don't know it will ever get actually used, but... it's there.

What I'm Reading! Issue 246
Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 246!
Oh, last week for Summer Camp! How has it been going? Are you feeling good about your worldbuilding? Writing projects? Hope so! Summer Camp is always so much fun and really, helps a ton with moving worlds along. Just as we hit that last week, take a deep breath, a long sip of your beverage of choice and dive in!
So, while I've been hammering on my own writing projects, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!
Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!

I've reached copper for Summer Camp! My goal is gold. I have several articles written, they just need images, so I'm confident I'll make it. Have a peek; there are more to come.

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!

Finally published a work!
So, I may not reach my Summer Camp goal this year, BUT that has come from finishing a short novel! I'll post the link first, and the descriptor afterwards!
You can download it here on the Storytellers Vault for free, or throw some bones my way if you feel so inclined! Reviews are also very valuable and important to me!
Washington Wilds: No Longer Human is a tight novelette set in the World of Darkness, yet requires no pre-existing knowledge to read and appreciate! Set in the real life small town of Ilwaco, Washington, it focuses on Emory Forest, a young woman living a compounding life of grief, but the latest tragedy has come not at the hands of fate, but a monster. No one believes her, however, until the mysterious "state patrol officer" Euhodia Thetis, comes to town.
No Longer Human is a story of grief, paranoia, monstrous horror, and a touch of supernatural action and a sprinkle of sapphic romance, for flavor. If any of that sounds up your alley, give it a shot! Again, it's free so even if you're uncertain, you don't gotta pay!
Sorry for plugging an advertisement during the event, but this is just the first excited step of many to come, for my World of Darkness urban horror AND Edda fiction! Thanks for reading, and I hope I've grabbed at least a few of you~!

Knocked up this character with a mythic past. Had to include one on the Lord of Darkness himself. Sad times.

Badge d'or !
Mes participations au Summer Camp avancent super bien, j'ajoute entre 2K et 6K de mots par jour et c'est fatiguant mais ça en vaut la peine.
Je vais encore continuer, et j'espère proposer quelque chose pour chaque sujet, même si je sais que je ne finirais pas la rédaction de tous les articles. J'ai déjà fini la rédaction de 17 articles pour le Summer Camp (sur 40) et c'est énorme, j'espère monter à 20, ça serait le feu !

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.

Had a go at another Summer Camp
I've done this up but still mot a chance to get anywhere near Diamond this year.

Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 245!
Here we go! End of Summer Camp! Well... almost. How are the prompts coming? Did you take your time or rampage through them? Either way, it's all good! Like last time I'll keep this short so everyone can tackle those Summer Camp prompts! (There are just so many!)
While tackling my own worldbuilding, I've also tried to catch up on my reading. So, without further delay!

Well, i achieved Silver!
I just published my 16th article earlier today, and i am now half-way to my SC goal of 32 articles. Its going great so far(we'll see what the prompts are tomorrow, and i hope your Summer Camp is going great as well!

Broken Dulcet Ch 59 n 60 are Live! and Summer Camp Updates
We're almost to the end of Broken Dulcet! Check out Chapter 59 and
Chapter 60.
Empires fall, and revenge is not as sweet as Lapis thought it would be.
#sciencefantasy
****
Wow, y'all! After the next installment, Broken Dulcet is done--but Lapis's adventures are not over. They continue in Re-cast, where a chaser's job is never done, especially in service to a new leadership rising from the ashes of the old.
I didn't think it would be this quick, but the characters had other ideas :) Expect Re-cast to start sometime in September, giving me a chance to get the cover and such done (I mean, I'm in the middle of Summer Camp, then I'll be judging, and I have a WIP coming out in October. I need a bit of time!).
Thanks to all the readers of Lapis's adventures so far. Because of you, I continue to write. Seriously. I know there are people out there who enjoy her story, and that keeps me going through all my creative endeavors.
****
I don't have my page updated, but here are a couple of articles I've been working on for Summer Camp. I've written many more, they just need images. Nothing's submitted yet, but that's coming!

Battle of the Glass Sea
New article for #SummerCamp2025!
A cataclysmic war between a fantasy world and a technologically advanced invader (think GATE, but with actual resistance), with paladins destroying tanks, automata and golems getting obliterated by drone strikes, and ending with THREE tactical nukes being detonated over a singing desert, and both factions fighting to a stalemate; a tense cold war between the two factions now prevails.

River Rush - Summer Camp Update 2
July of this year marks a few important milestones for Shiftrex and I here on WA:
- 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.

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.

(Late) June Recap & July Updates (New Website!!)
June was... an interesting month. I feel like it was more productive than May due to the new project I started (more on that later)! Here's what I had achieved in June:
Started Summer Camp prep
Wrote lore for magic in Ysteria and Mytharae and flying islands in Mytharae
Made progress with my visual novel, "Audio Call"
Started work on a visual novel series about some characters in Auxul
Wrote an entry for Summer Camp
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...
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!

Anyway, here's what I have so far.

What I'm Reading! Issue 243
Hey, Everybody! Here we go with Issue 243!
How's your Summer Camp doing? The prompts are pretty challenging this time. I know I'm having to sit down and scratch my head a little to figure out what I want to write. How about you? Going after all of them? Or just taking your time, and diving deep into each one? I mean, there's no wrong way to do it, right?
But because it's Summer Camp and we're worldbuilding like crazy, I'll keep it quick and short with some that I think are really inspirational for Summer Camp. So, without further delay!
Here is the current crop that REALLY stood out for me! Enjoy!
The Road Goes Ever On
Once again, I grabbed my satchel and set out on the digital road to find some unexplored countries in the Anvilspace. As always, the Anvilspace didn't disappoint!

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

Broken Dulcet Ch 57 & 58 are Live, and Other Updates
Reading Broken Dulcet is free here at Manuscripts, so why not check out Chapter 57 and
Chapter 58
Lapis and company rush to the rescue, and hit Mimstone Square in the Lells just in time for fireworks.
#darkfantasy #sciencefantasy
****
Broken Dulcet has maybe 3 more chapters before it's done. Then we'll be on to the Chaser Chronicles, which follows Lapis and company as they navigate a life after the fall of the Dentherion Empire. It'll run here at World Anvil Manuscripts, same time, same publishing schedule. And yes, it'll be free to read as well!

How's everyone's summer camp going? I've written articles, but they need a bit of CSS before publishing. So far I have something on Qira's Stink Smell, the Meint Clinics, and the city of Evening, with plans to write about Flame martial artists who were also dragonpriests, Rakan noodles, and a haunted building. There are a few prompts this time I'm like ¯\(o_o)/¯ but I'll come up with something (symbiotic relationship, eh?).
I hope I can get my CSS on and publish something before tomorrow, but I always get behind during Summer Camp and rush in the last week to get articles completed.
I've decided to dedicate this Summer Camp to my father, who is slowly slipping away and may not make it past July (we'll see). It's a mixed bag of feelings, and we'll see how much of that makes it into my articles (it's definitely made it into my serials).
****
See you tomorrow for Week 2's reveals!
