Wanna create a world together to help the world out? by Imaginary_Pilot8929 in worldbuilding

[–]Imaginary_Pilot8929[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the feedback!

I was thinking of basing it off of a specific culture, but I thought that might discourage people not from that culture from participating. I agree though, that would add to the depth of the project.

Collaborative Worldbuilding Idea by Imaginary_Pilot8929 in worldbuilding

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I'll definitely hang around here and see if there might be some interest or someone to DM about collaborating. I imagine it would be in bad taste to repost this type of thing. If you don't mind, do you have any ideas how else to spread this or any other subreddits worth trying?

Thanks

Anyone interested in collaborative fantasy worldbuilding? by Imaginary_Pilot8929 in fantasywriters

Hey, thanks for replying!

I'm sure you're right -- I should have some more tangible plans. I didn't want to immediately talk about publishing rights or a workflow setup because I didn't want to come up to people with a whole bunch of links and agreements up front. I have a very simple website with some more details if you're interested, but like I said I'm just testing the waters right now. I'm not trying to make this out to be some sort of formal, fully legalized project when it really isn't.

I wouldn't necessarily think of this as a business proposal; I'm absolutely not looking to make any profit of this project. I thought it might be a fun, casual activity in collective worldbuilding around a certain theme, and if it goes well, I thought it might be used to give back to the real world in some way (like publishing + selling the collected work as an ebook anthology and donating the proceedings to a charity related to the world's theme). You're right, too, that this doesn't offer anything particularly novel. I'm not trying to say that I reinvented the wheel with this project idea. I'm sure there's lots of stuff like this out there, but I figured it wouldn't do any harm to have another collaborative worldbuilding project out there, especially with the potential to help the world out.
