This is the primary announcement thread for the World Building group. Please limit posts in this topic to announcements about stories, discussions, competitions, or information relevant to the group. Further discussion on the announced items should take place in separate topics to avoid clutter.

Thanks!

I've added a few stories to the group using the new group submission feature, all of which are collaborative and open to your additions. I believe each one has sufficient Author Guidance to answer questions, but feel free to post any you have as a comment on the story itself.

With that said, feel free to start adding your own story ideas to the group! Make sure that are relevant to the group focus, so there should be an emphasis on description.

Eventually I'll be posting another story to the group, one that I've had in the works for quite some time now. It's called the World Builder Diaries, and will be about the after effects of a global war as shared by workers in a hospital-type setting. Intrigued? Here's a link to the World Builder Diaries discussion thread from a few years ago.

Keep an eye out!

The World Builder Diaries has now been posted! Take a look and add an entry or two if you're inspired.

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?
