Summer Camp Hub 2025

A moment of crazy enthousiasm!

Summer Camp was an absolute blast! I had such an incredible time for so many reasons and I just have to share, because I can’t contain the excitement!

When I signed up for this challenge, I didn’t know what to expect. What I did know was that I wouldn’t miss it for the world.

So, was it what I imagined?

Not at all.

Was it amazing?

One hundred percent yes!

You found a portal-quote

"Reflecting on how far we've come, do we ever truly realize how much we've altered the course of destiny? Or was this always destiny's plan? Regardless, the past is undeniable. Our actions—mine, the Dragonguard's, and our enemies'—have been woven into the blanket of time. So much remains, yet I lie here, helplessly looking upon the faces of those I've loved for so long. If only destiny wasn't such a bitch."
Activate the Portal   Then return to the Anvilgate to cross it!

My initial goal was for gold. But when I was nearing silver, a part of me worried I wouldn’t make it. Thankfully, I made the best decision before Camp even began and buddied up with Tyrdal. It was his constant support and cheers that helped me break through that moment of doubt.

So, I reached gold and I was insanely happy about it! But then… you people happened! You awakened the Badge Goblin in me all over again, and I thank you so much for that! Seeing the enthusiasm and the diamonds flying around gave me an incredible boost of motivation. So I pressed on, until I made it!

Now, my worlds are richer by 32 new articles. Some I love more than others, but I’m proud of them all. I poured countless hours into writing, drafting, thinking, and talking about them and every one of those hours was fulfilling and joyful.

I hope you had a great time as well. To all of you out there who love what you do: know that it shows. Love always shines through, whether an article is polished or raw. Art is complicated and subjective. Putting your work out there can be hard, especially when it invites critique. But if you write with your heart, you're doing it right and that’s what truly matters.

Take care, my friends! I’m off to do some reading - there are just so many wonderful stories to discover around here. As always, I welcome any feedback on my work, as long as it comes from a kind place. Feel free to explore my collection below; it would mean a lot to hear what you think, and if anything inspires you.

 

p.s. I have something more to say!

 

I need to share a few extra thank-yous.

First and foremost, to everyone in the Storyteller Circle: a group that feels like home. I’m beyond thrilled I got to meet you all <3

And finally (for real this time!), a little extra appreciation for some truly awesome human beings. Thank you for being so incredibly supportive, inspiring, and kind. You made this journey even more special:

I'm so happy to hear you've had a great first Summer Camp! I remember watching you smash WorldEmber out of the park, and I knew you'd have no trouble doing the same with SC <3

I hope you have a great day!   Explore the endless planets brimming with life of the Yonderverse! Go after creatures, discover new places, and learn about the people you find along the way.   Come prep for Summer Camp with me!

Your first camp and you got Diamond, that's wonderful, so sparkly and shiny!!!! Amazing work, you should be wildly proud of yourself. You wrote your heart out, likely burned out a few keys on the keyboard (I certainly got letters fading slowly struggling to hang on) and created some amazing wonderous, spooky, creative, brilliant pieces of writing :D I'm behind on readings but can't wait to read the rest. Well done on surviving and thriving on your first ride!!! It doesn't get any less hectic in later years, but the fun never fades either, can't wait to see how you grow and how your imagination changes over the coming year and into next SC when the fever begins again hehehehe.

Oh, I have two or three letters fading out on the laptop, for sure! But that's just proof you love what you do, so I am in for it :D I'm sure we'll keep having fun and a great time in the years to come <3
