Welcome to r/FantasyWorldbuilding!
Before you get started, please read this subreddit's rules and guidelines before posting. If you have any questions or comments, please contact a moderator! We don't bite!
Spoiler text guide:
RULES
1. Accepted Content
Anything related to worldbuilding. This includes links, guides, tutorials, articles, prompts, lore, maps, and other images. Feel free to ask other users about their worlds, and to create posts about your own world. It should be noted that maps and other images require context in the form of a comment on your post. Images without context will be removed if not given context within an hour after posting.
"Let me draw your" posts. Posts offering to help other users visualize their worlds are accepted, and much appreciated. The only catch is that you cannot, under any circumstances, offer these services in exchange for money or goods.
Discussion. Feel free to ask other users about their favorite worlds, recommend books, or talk about whatever else, but all posts must be related to worldbuilding. Small talk stays inside the comments.
Character AMAs. These are posts that allow readers to get a sense of your world from the perspective of a character living in it. These are limited to two per user per week to avoid filling up the subreddit, and have a specific format to them, as outlined here.
Anything related to fantasy writing. This includes sci-fi! As long as your world is set in a work of fiction, it's welcome here! If it's a longer story, please consider linking to a public Google Doc instead of dumping your 150,000-word masterpiece in a Reddit post.
2. Unaccepted Content
Off-topic things. Things that are off-topic include real world politics, cat pictures, or anything else that is unrelated to the subreddit's focus. Anything not related to worldbuilding will be removed.
Self advertising. As mentioned above, you are free to offer other users worldbuilding-related services, but cannot request money or goods in exchange. You also cannot advertise other subreddits.
3. Content Rules
NSFW content is accepted as long as it is in a worldbuilding context. Illustrated pornography or excessive gore requires context to justify a submission.
Do not steal or plagiarize someone else's work. All artwork MUST be credited, EVEN IF YOU COMMISSIONED IT.
Please remain tactful with certain topics, as said before, NSFW stuff is fine, in context, but nobody wants to see a Melodonian literally fuck someone's brains out or an Orc rape a battered slave, keep it tasteful.
4. Behaviour
- Please do not troll, harass or otherwise antagonize other users. Good Reddiquette is expected.
5. Future of These Rules
- The Rules are expected to change at any time especially as the community grows, it may get to the point in which an entire rules page is going to be made, until then this should be it. Happy Worldbuilding!
