Summer Camp 2023 Pledge
Summer Camp Pledge Certificate 2023 by World Anvil

I'm pledging to work on Aubadeon for this Summer Camp. I struggled with this decision, but it feels like this world hasn't received enough love lately and this is a great opportunity to fix that.

I've been overwhelmed with work, and for mental peace, I'm only going to pledge to do 8 prompts. Secretly, I hope to complete 32 and earn diamond. Even worse, I hope to do prompts in both Aubadeon and Spaceport. But this is not a realistic goal. We'll see what happens!

In working through the first week's homework, I discovered that this world didn't even have a meta! It does now! I'll want to expand on it and clean it up over the next few weeks.

To remind myself of my sanity goals this month, I'm happily posting the Camp Chill badge and pledge.

Of course, I then went on to buy a "Dimi Mission" for Spaceport, because I couldn't resist the temptation to have Dimitris review my world and give me suggestions on how I can make it better. I started to choose Aubadeon, but then realized that having him review a nearly empty world probably wasn't the best expenditure of my anvil points.

In addition, the amazing Graylion shared their incredible statblock with us for tracking words and articles for Summer Camp. You'll see that below. Click into the "My goal" sections to see what I'm hoping to accomplish for each section. While we always have the option to hide prompts and sections, that big blank statblock is just daring me to go for diamond.

Hm. I predict that this Summer Camp will be a typical battle between my desire to go crazy and have fun and do all the things and my desire not to drive myself to exhaustion.

Stay tuned to see how this all plays out!

Update: I made it!

Just When We Thought We Were Done...

Dot...dot...dot...

Along came Dimi and gave us two more prompts, right at the end of the month-long journey that is World Anvil Summer Camp. And because we are

completionists


we wrote them. All of them. All 42 of them.

We wrote until our brains were numb. We wrote until the words dribbled out of our bleeding fingertips. We wrote way too late at night, and way too early in the morning. We wrote in the interval of shows. We wrote in the park, and in the hotel, and in the car. Some of us even wrote on the plane, and in the loo, and in the bath.

But in the end, we got it done: a bare minimum of 12,600 new words in our world-building projects. And for that monumental achievement...we deserve this digital doodad.

- Remember the prompts are suggestions, not requirements.

- Write what you're passionate about, leave what you aren't.

- Relax when you feel tired.

- Fight off any pesky brain-squitos trying to make you doubt your work.

- Don't abandon your non-summercamp goals! Write that article you're itching to write, even if it doesn't fit any prompts.

Copper Power

8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
The first theme (and the copper prompts wave) is all about POWER, in all its different manifestations—physical power, political power, and more!
My Goal
This is the theme that led me to choose to focus on Aubadeon. Power is key to the themes of all 3 books, and it hasn't been well developed in my world building yet. Power takes many forms: political, emotional, and of course magical. I look forward to exploring who holds the power in this world and where that power comes from.

Silver Frontier

8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Frontiers are boundaries between things, borders—but the word also has a connection to the edge of the “known world”.
My Goal
Pelage, Soul's Rest, and Solitude are all frontiers in the world of Aubadeon that I look forward to developing. People go to these places to be as far away from the "civilized" areas of Aubadeon as possible, and unique cultures have formed there. Dayspring and Summer, while being highly populated, are also frontiers, especially during the war with the Darkness that invades from the East.

Gold Relics

8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
Relics are the remnants of past ages, and they’re a great tool to show your world’s history, as well as cultural values, in the present. After all, if something has been preserved throughout history, it means people consider it to be important!
My Goal
Relics take many forms in Aubadeon. There's the abandoned city of Aurora that has barely been explored. In Elainya's room, there's a mysterious vial. And then there's Elainya's court dress that becomes a relic in the later books. Elainya has a knife that Drenil made for her that never gets dull. The castle maintains a healer's garden that Elainya finds when she returns to the castle. I'm sure there will be other items and reminders of the past that will provide fodder for this category.

Diamond Communication

8 Prompts
2 Wild Card Prompts
Theme Description
How do people and organizations from different backgrounds or cultures communicate with each other? How does communication happen over short and long distances? Who in your setting communicates secretly or carefully, and how?
My Goal
I'll want to tie as many of these into the Spaceport as possible. I definitely want to explore the communication devices and some of the challenges of communicating with someone who is on the frontier.

I'm hoping for something that will let me explore the northern area of the continent more, I think. But the world has enough space that needs development... I suspect anything will help!
