Inktober Writing Gauntlet 2019
Welcome, Worldbuilders, to WorldAnvil Inktober and the Writers' Gauntlet!
Inktober
Inktober is an annual social media event for artists. Each year, a new series of prompts is put out and artists worldwide post their drawings for those prompts to social media.
Last year made our own promptset for artists, but after some feedback and consideration will be following the official list.
The Gauntlet
Each day we will be releasing a small writer's prompt related to the Inktober Prompt. Our challenge to you is to let that inspire you to write about something in your world befitting that prompt.
Use any template, though we'll provide some suggestions with every prompt!
Feel free to do them in any order, but on the WorldAnvil Discord and on social media we will be focusing on the prompt for each day on that day. Challenge yourself to do them on the day of! It's all about practicing and improving!

Why not write and illustrate an article using each prompt?

Do we have to do all the prompts within this month to get a badge?
Yes. I'll be verifying my list of people who completed it within the first week of November.
Gotchya. so to confirm, just past the article as a new comment each, and the deadline is the end of the first week in november since I don't have those social media accounts?
Also, do they have to be finished when they are commented on each prompts article?
You are correct on the deadline. They don't need to be completed! This is all in the spirit of getting people to have fun and worldbuild so I don't intend to dock points just because something is half-done; as far as I'm concerned that's the same as doing a sketch for Inktober instead of a fullblown drawing—you still did something!
aaa yay I was a bit worried for a sec there, thanks!
