Summer Reading 2025

I hope everyone has a wonderful Summer Camp! Mine wasn't as good as last year's, but that's mainly because I was gone for most of the month of July. Even though I didn't manage to achieve my silver goal, I still did get copper, which I'm happy with. If my laptop actually arrived before I left for vacations, I might have been able to do a few more prompts. But alas, the batch it was a part of happened to be at the end of July. And then it was delayed to August, which honestly is fine because I was on vacation at the end of July, so I'm kinda happy it didn't show up at my door while I was gone. On another note, this was my first time being a Summer Camp prompt sponsor!! I'm sponsoring the one and only Rank/Title prompt. I hope you guys had fun writing for the prompt as much as I did! Can't wait to read your submissions.

Summer Camp 2025 Prompt Entries

Goals

Expand Characters
While I did a little bit of this, I need to do more. I think I'll be focusing on this more during NovelEmber and won't be actually writing the novel like I did last year. That was a bit much. Story Plots
While I did this somewhat last year, I want to focus on actually working out plots and small sections of the novel, rather than pulling something out of my ass, then trying to write enough words for it the next day during NovelEmber.

Dragons
I mean, of course, this will always be a goal! I've added a few more, and even my first Zilant! But, there can always be more. And I also need to go back and update older dragon species articles. Create Backlog from Trello
Self-explanatory. I've got a list of articles I want to create, and they're on a Trello board. There's plenty to go around, so I shouldn't have any problems with WorldEmber even if I knock out a few.

Anvilite Showcase

A few of these were featured on my homepage! I will not be including articles I had to judge for my prompt.

Emoshrooms Species \| Nov 17, 2025 How much of your soul are you willing to sacrifice just to keep living? in Crux Umbra by Imagica Fungi are cool, and so is this symbiotic species! Its unique ability is quite unsettling, but it's an interesting read. This is such an interesting take on the combination of fungi with magic! I also love the layout, with the field notes on the side.	Supplication Day Tradition / Ritual \| Dec 8, 2025 in Solspire Chronicles by Dimitris Romeo Havlidis This is a short but intriguing dark article. I'm not gonna lie, I had no idea what to write for the ritual related to agriculture prompt, but this article is a great example of what you could do. Great worldbuilding by the Forgemaster himself!	Bottled Sleep Material \| Sep 3, 2025 A full night's rest in a bottle in The Million Islands by Demongrey Bottled Sleep has such an intriguing effect on people (both good and bad), it has created a whole market around this commodity! A very interesting read.	Fal Nép - Tree-folk Species \| Jul 14, 2025 Gentle tree-folk that practice floral symbiosis in Mytharae world by CoolG I found the creation of these tree-folk interesting, using bark from various types of trees to form the husks. I also love the many floral symbioses they have — a beautiful species!
Mirastelai Species \| Jul 1, 2025 Bioluminescent fungi found only in the bowels of Istralar known for their versatile uses and ability to colonise living matter. in Istralar by Han I've been wanting to add a glowing mushroom species and a Blackreach (from Skyrim) inspired area to my world, so I had to give this one a read. Han always creates such amazing articles, and this is no exception! There's quite a lot of information about this mushroom, which I love! Also, there's a picture of stew that's pretty much in my favorite color, and I want it. Now.	Yonderhythm Song Contest Organization \| Jul 28, 2025 The biggest and the best song competition the Yonderverse has to offer. A hundred planets battle it out to claim vocal superiority. (Almost) all profits go to charities. in Yonderverse by Mochi I love the depth of worldbuilding Mochi created for the biggest song competition in the Yonderverse, including notable champions, rules that were added after a few years to make it more fair, various scandals after the founder's death, and even discrimination. It, for better or worse, really makes it feel more realistic. I also love how the founder's name is Symphia. <3	The Slaughter of Souls Military Conflict \| Sep 1, 2025 A brutal event where souls were devoured out of curiosity, and later spite. in The Afterworlds by CoolG When I heard this article had something about "Null" in it, I, of course, had to check it out. It's an interesting read! I like how those who have consumed different types of souls have morphed into something that no longer resembles what they once were, and are called "Nulls" because of that.	Wyrmscale Species \| Jul 3, 2025 Wyrmscale is a form of lichen native to the southwestern area of Tullis Island. in Astaeria by Gilly-May Hartill When I saw the title, I had to check it out. I like the symbiotic relationship it has with algae; it's a great article! I also love the various uses wyrmscale has, even if "thick milk" is less than desirable.
Scalykind Ethnicity \| Jul 28, 2025 Sapient scaled folk inhabit the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Despite their cold-blooded nature, they can be found all over the world. in World of Wizard's Peak by Chris L I enjoyed the detail Kitoypoy created for this ethnicity and how the rest of society's view of them has mostly changed, though some are still stereotyped. I also 100% agree with what ECCBooks commented, "I love how very Florida this feels—the good parts of Florida, that is, not the bad."	Kiulúsh - Butterfly Guardians Military Formation \| Oct 28, 2025 ... the fairy-elf warriors in the jungle of Téshàn. in E L A Q I T A N by Blue Fairy 74 Fellow winged Guardians! Although they're more like butterflies instead of dragons. But what an interesting unit this is, certainly one that is highly adaptable! I'm glad to see someone create a well-written, detailed winged unit in their world; I'm definitely going to use this as inspiration to add more detail to the Dragonguard :eyes_emoji:	Mindraisers Species \| Aug 2, 2025 Parasitic isopods feeding on a Sphere's thoughts, they are then able to give great power over the mind to even the least gifted individuals. in The Spheres of Oblogga by Rumengol Isopod friend! Well, maybe not; they leech on the very essence of their host, the mind, as the name would suggest. They somehow "turn the abstract concept of mind and thoughts into sustenance." Yet, despite their parasitic nature, they also act as a type of symbiote, granting the ability to comprehend the cryptic images of a higher mind. A very interesting species!	Australian Parliament House Building / Landmark \| Sep 6, 2025 in Kingdom of America by Tynen The Mighty An interesting alternate history world; I enjoyed the history of Australia and its original parliament building. After the declaration of the Pacific War, many people were against it, and in turn, eventually burned down the Parliament House and proclaimed the Republic of Australia.
Al'nahar Settlement \| Oct 9, 2025 The City of Light, the Bronzen Bulwark - wander the streets, meet new friends and discover a thousand wonders in Aran'sha by Tyrdal Of course, great writing by Tyrdal, but I also love the layout and the interactability within this article! The descriptions of the town and the depictions of the characters are just beautiful.	Patterned cloaks Item \| Jul 13, 2025 A garment traditionally associated with the Snow elves that they use to show pride for their respective hometowns. in Yeia by Callyxtus Callyxtus wrote some amazing details of the patterned cloaks snow elves wear. I like how there's even information about the early designs and their origins! This article is an interesting read.	Mykket Myth \| Jul 17, 2025 in Zivis by Razhea The descriptions in this article are amazing! It really paints the picture of what the tree and its fruit might look like. The berries themselves are an interesting concept too, rapidly growing in size when they ripen and ultimately bursting. As drunkenpanda951 mentioned, I like how this myth is a more gruesome take on "the seeds will grow inside you if you eat them" myth I heard as a kid. Love the detailing!	Leymen's Tongue IA- Languages \| Aug 19, 2025 "The Common language spoken in the Ice Age." in Arc Sagas by Myth Cross Look, I know this is the third article here about mushrooms; they're cool, ok? However, this article is about the language that stemmed from ingesting said mushroom. The mushrooms contain the essence of a Word and grant the understanding of its meaning, which gave way to an early proto-human language during the Ice Age. It's a very interesting read.
Pumpkin Bread Item \| Jul 20, 2025 in Ayun Sovos by Polina "Line" Arteev The farmer's quote and the description in the sidebar had me laughing out loud! I love pumpkin; it's my favorite pie, and I'd love to try this bread; it sounds tasty :) What a delicately sweet article!	Katyr Ainham Character \| Nov 17, 2025 Unifier of Koraxis. Katyr Ainham is among the oldest and longest-reigning of the "kings" of Incaendium, having forged a unified Domain out of scattered settlements and tribes. in Crimson Court by Pandora 9 Omfg, this is the kind of level of detail I aspire to create for my characters. It's quite the read, but worth reading it all; such detail! I'm a notoriously distracted reader, but this article had me captivated the entire time.
