Now that the Summer Prose Competition has concluded, what did you think of it? I would love to hear from the participants, the judges, and anyone who read the entries or followed along.

The aim is to "workshop" the Prose Competition so that the next installment can be better, and run more smoothly. Please share any of your thoughts, comments, concerns, ideas, critiques, praises, etc here.

Please use the general discussion thread to post any "thank you" or "I'm so relieved it's over!" messages.

Jack : My only suggestion is to streamline the participation process, ie. the groupings of the participants. That is my one and only concern in an otherwise amazing experience for me personally. Lovely job and I would definitely love to participate in any and all following installments of this competition!

Cheers..

P.S. When can we expect the results? ;-)

I tell you something, I'm really glad it's over. I found it so hard to keep up a sustained posting time like that, and I constantly felt the more I developed, the less I knew about my world.
I absolutely hated doing it, BUT it was just the kick in the pants I needed. I long since came to the conclusion I'm a dead-line driven person, and if I don't have someone waiting on delivery, I probably won't ever get around to it.
So thank you for (essentially) giving me a kick.

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?
