June-y Through Time

Introduction

As a history nerd, I love using the timelines to help embolden my world, and am excited to see what others come up with. However, aside from some entries in the World Anvil Wordbuilding Awards, we don't see much attention given to the timelines. Therefore, many timelines get ignored or even forgotten about. Well, now's the time (pun intended) to change that. Introducing June-y Through Time!  

The Challenge

It's actually quite simple. From June 1st to June 30th, I just ask for no less than ten additions or revisions to your timeline. Create an article with the added or revised dates, and call out the challenge to be recognized. Explain the history of a kingdom. Lay out the battles of a war. Even tell the steps the gods made to create the universe. The challenge is open to many possibilities! There is only a word minimum of at least 25 words. No getting away with a simple introduction, have fun with it. For example, I have my own timeline to show that making such moves is entirely possible:

Kingdom of America Timeline  

The Reward

You would not only get the satisfaction of creating something that expands your world, but what would a challenge be without a shiny new badge to go with it? Completing the challenge gets you the Timeline Writer's Badge.  

Conclusion

Timelines are a fun way to expand on your world in a neat and concise way. Instead of information being spread throughout multiple articles, details being lost in the clutter, timelines keep it all in one place. This challenge should help inspire you to expand on such material, while also benefiting your world. Have fun, and good luck!

This sounds like fun!

Do all the entries need to be on the same timeline, or can they be on multiple (perhaps in multiple worlds?)

I say go ahead and mix and match, but you could also challenge yourself to multiple ones. Up to you.

May 27, 2025 07:21

They can't be created before June 1st, like today, correct? Only within June, or they will not count?

May 27, 2025 18:45 by Tynen The Mighty

They would count if you add to them during the challenge. Revisions count as well. I would think of the time leading up as prep work, making sure the count is good, the links work, and outlining what it is you would like to include.

Congratulations, my friend! I hope you enjoyed the challenge. I'll definitely want to check out your timeline work. Enjoy the badge, as well

This is a very cool challenge. Timelines are a great way to show change over time and can put events in context. I struggle using the official timelines feature, so I made my own "list style" timeline in a plot article. I'm uhh submitting this whole timeline since I only made it this month. The summary of changes is: all of it :D

You know, I never thought about just doing a smaller timeline in an article, but you know what, it works lol. The article is absolutely stunning, but I can't help but feel something is missing.   Oh yeah, the completion badge! Go ahead and take it for yourself. :)

This challenge got me to kickstart my timeline - and I've got enough events and words to meet the challenge today! It's going to get more expansion before its done, but I wanted to get it submitted - here it is! The Empire of Albion

This was a fantastic start to the history of Albion! It made me want to learn more, especially about the Cult of the Leviathan. If you post the entries to an article, you have definitely earned the badge

This was awesome! Having the descriptors in the article is an interesting work around to posting the date blocks. I could see that making it easier to edit. The one thing I can say is definitely work on linking your other articles as well, since this made me want to dive deeper! Enjoy the badge

Here's my entry, submitting before I forget! Followed in Rin's footsteps and made an in-article timeline, something I've been meaning to do for aaaaaaaaaaages and finally got the motivation with this challenge!

The way you formatted the article makes me feel like I'm reading a data pad in a space ship. It is very immersive and fitting for your world! I appreciated the sections on the right that show the expansion of your ideas and hints as to articles to come (if I'm reading it correctly). It sets up the Yonderverse nicely. You have earned the badge

The way you format your date entries is something I have not seen nor considered. It is unique, and makes the entries that much easier to read. The sections fit nicely to their perspective time periods, and the links offer a deeper dive. Congratulations!

As always, you are the king of animations. I really felt like I was travelling through time and space (pun intended) while going through the timeline. You have a poetic way of describing the world around your characters that feels heartening. If you link the entries into an article, by all means, post the badge my friend!

You made it just in time! I love the format you went with, linking the date blocks while maintaining a summation of each one in the article. This makes it very reader friendly, especially for someone that wants to dive right in. Marking which ones are new and revised is neat too. Enjoy the badge!

Maha Aehir! So I finally found the time to work on the Alvunne History timeline. I will edit this still later, of course, but for now one can discover the main threads woven by time! I don't know how to add a block link of a timeline. But here goes: History of the Alvunne Continent   Thank you for the challenge! Finally helped me discover how to add a different image per era ^^

Read more about the Alvunne Saga. ^^

Maha Aehir! You have obviously already put so much into this vibrant and unique timeline. It looks like you used the eras as your entries, which I had not considered, but it greatly fleshes out the dynasties you are expressing. The backgrounds help make it feel fleshed out, and gives the feel that these are in fact different times than the ones that came before. If you would like, I can show you how to link them to an article. I know you can do them with dates, but I am unsure if you can link the eras themselves. If you are able to, I'd say you have earned the right to post the badge in the article!
