@panellists, i'm going to be gone most of next week, so i need someone to send out the challenge 4 email for me. i already have it typed up, you just need to forward it at noon PST on Wednesday the 28th.

@competitors, as of Sunday afternoon i'll be away from my computer for about four days. please don't send me any urgent emails from July 24th until the 29th, because i will not answer them. that's what the panellists are for. (:

Ugh, I'm sorry, I'm really struggling with this challenge. Everytime I start, I find something wrong. So, I may be over the time limit by a little.

Yes that is correct. midnight PST = 7 am GMT. *grin* No actually make that 8 am presuming you're all still ahead of EST by 5 hours.

@Elorithryn, i like Seattle. not as much as i like Vancouver, or as much as i love Victoria or the Okanagan, but i like it. not sure which one i'm more excited for, though: Cirque du Soleil in Vancouver, or spending three days in Seattle with some university friends... hmmm...

@Drux, the joys of work, hahah. i think that one day you should write an epic tale about your exploding register, a la The First Five Sentences are True. aaah, good times, those.

Done.

I tried to be a little more innovative with this one, seeing as my Challenge Two skated a little close to the challenge this time around.

Whether or not 'innovative' became 'way off the mark' remains to be seen...

ALSO. I can't find Jack's actual post with the challenge in it, and the email has disappeared from my inbox. Any chance of some copypasta from somebody? =]

@Sareneth, i posted it in the Info & Announcements thread. here's a copy+paste:

Write a piece of history. This can be achieved through a flashback, a written document, a story, or any other way you can think of bringing part of the past into the present. This moment of history can include the cataclysmic event your wrote about in the last challenge, as long as it happened in the past. Technically, although anything in the past can be considered history, aim for something from at least a couple centuries ago, up to a millennium or more if you please. I must stress that your entry should take place in the same time setting as your first entry, and not be happening in this historical moment.

If you're following along with the 30 Days of World Building exercises, days two, four, seven, and eight are of particular use.

Entries must be submitted before midnight on Saturday the 24th (24:59:59PST).

About this group

'cause we all know it's more exciting in Imaginationland.

Worldbuilding is a process, a process that never really ends. It begins with the conception of the setting, progresses as details and histories are filled in, and is then finally refined and reshaped as the characters explore it.

Some writers construct huge worlds with deep histories, cultures, languages, geographies, and societies. Others opt for a simpler approach, and construct only what they need to tell a story convincingly.

Whatever approach you take, this group hopes to provide some tips and tools for the worldbuilding process and, should you need it, people to help you along the way. We're all crafting stories here, why not make them a little more convincing?
