Check-In

Happy Fat Tuesday!

This is a quick check-in to make sure you've not forgotten about the two-month long conlang challenge.

The secondary challenges for Feb/Mar are to either (a) create a writing system for your language; (b) label a map in your language. Note the 'A.' If you did not make a map of your world, then you may also label your hometown, a subway system, your favorite store, etc. The focus in this case is more on creating as much of a language as necessary to create names.

If you have questions about the challenges, suggestions for future months, or progress to show for this month, this post is the place to share!

I hope everyone has been having fun.

Talk Post




It's been a while since the last talk post. Use this week's to chat about any issues you're facing with your worlds or even just the general frustrations that this time of year can cause. If you're doing a Nano, how have you been incorporating world-building with your novel? If you've decided to tackle this month's secondary challenge, how is that coming along?

As always, the rules )

Talk & WiP Post



Late post this week as I've been trying to figure out the best way to handle projects completed prior to the month's end.

Here are the options:

1) Post it here as a WiP. This is probably the best course of action. It allows you to get some feedback and gives space if you decide to make some last minute changes.

2) Post it on your blog for now. At the end of the month, share it here.

3) Keep it to yourself until the month's end.


Anyway, I hope the last week and a half have been going well for you. What have some been some of your most difficult struggles? And does anyone have any tips on fitting world-building into a tight schedule?

Talk & WiP Post



Apologies for getting this post up so late this week.

How is everyone coming along so far? Show off your progress here or talk out your snags.

The Talk and WiP posts will continue to be combined for the time being.

Rules

1. Be considerate and polite.
2. For now, any topic is acceptable. That said, this is a world-building community.
3. I (or any mod, once we have more than one) may ask participants in a particularly interesting conversation to create a write-up for wider community enjoyment. Participants may say no.
4. Trolling and ad hom attacks will lead to the thread being frozen and a warning. Three warnings and you will be banned.
5. The first comment of any thread should have a clear topic identifying the subject.
