WorldEmber 2025 Homework

Is 2025 actualy speedrunning itself, or is it just me? I can't believe that in just a few days, we'll be in December and it's time for WorldEmber competition. For me, this december will be even more special, since i'll be revealing my NEW WORLD. In fact, i can reveal its name to you all. It will be called: PROJECT: YUKON   I plan to write articles on both this new world, and also of course on Chronicles of Hysal as well. However, since i suspect that writing for two worlds at the same time will complicate things a little bit, i've decided to set my goal to 25 000 words this year. If i go beyond that, i'll be happy of course, but i will not actively try to beat my previous record, like i did last year.

Homework


Plan your worldbuilding playlist

Done! (Also, it doubles as a gaming playlist too)

Make a list of Article you want to write

In Chronicles of Hysal

-The Celestial System
-Confederation of Ru'Mensh
-SharkFolks Shapeshifters
-Ak'araan League
-Continent of Osian

In Project: Yukon

-Yukon City
-Late Fool's day
-Deviants
-Lunar Station Alpha
-Gentech Corporation

Plan your writing schedule

I plan to allocate about 3 hours of writing/worldbuilding everyday, except for the time between the 23rd to the 26th of december, as well as the 31st of december and the 1st of January, for obvious holidays-related reasons lol

What kind of people can you find in your world?

I always try to remind myself that especialy in the case of Chronicles of Hysal, the people are very diverse, even more so than on Earth. To illustrate this, this year i want to focus on the different shapeshifter species which are unique in some way. Shark shifters, who live in underwater ruins, or Bird shifters that live in the mountain peaks, or Lizard Shifters inhabiting the deep jungles.

Do some research about the topic you'll write about

I had to do a lot of research for this new world. It was extra important for me to get things right or as close as possible, especialy those related to science and biology, since Project: Yukon is a science-fiction based world, not fantasy when magic can explain pretty much everything away. Research subjects included CRISPR and other gene editing tech, Nuclear war/Nuclear plants meltdowns, and their related disasters as well as the impacts of those of the earth's climate and biosphere. I also researched the impacts of SAI (Stratospheric Aerosol Injection) on the atmosphere if they were used to combat climate change.

Check out my pledge from last year!
