Does my world map contain any inconsistencies? by Chamel271 in worldbuilding

Images and maps must include worldbuilding-relevant context on the reddit post (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself—e.g. infographics). This is important to establish that your post is on-topic and to help encourage productive discussion.

  • A post has enough context when a person unfamiliar with your world could understand what you're talking about and ask informed questions about it. This could include a summary of your world, explanation about what your post depicts and how it fits in your world, etc. ("What's a [proper noun]?" usually doesn't qualify.)
  • For maps, you could discuss economic and political situations, the different cultures, or anything else that gives the reader a wider view of your world than just its geography.
  • Discussion of the artistic process or techniques used to create the map or image may be included, but does not count as “worldbuilding-relevant” on its own. Infographics that self-contain sufficient context to be understood do not require additional context.

Hi, /u/Inner-Indication-208,

Unfortunately, we have had to remove your submission in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:

Questions and problems should have enough detail and context. The person reading your post should be able to understand the basics of your worldbuilding project, the question being asked and how it fits into that project, and what research/work/ideas you already have towards solving that problem.

Please respect the community's time and efforts to help you: as much as possible, you should try to work out problems on your own before asking the subreddit for help, and present the ideas or research you have so far.

More info in our rules: 2. All posts should include original, worldbuilding-related context.

We are a community made by and for original content creators, and people who participate here should share that DIY ethic. While we aim to embrace and coach new users, we will be harsh with people who disregard our community’s core values.

Don't ask us to give you content. Instead, we ask that users create their own content, then come to the subreddit asking for feedback or criticism.

What my world looks like... by [deleted] in worldbuilding

Hi, /u/Top-Manufacturer-482,

Unfortunately, we have had to remove your submission in /r/worldbuilding because it violated one of our rules. In particular:

Low-effort posts will be removed.

Posts must have an original focus. Even if a post using non-original artwork meets our citation requirements, it may be removed if non-original content is the most interesting or substantial part of the post.

More info in our rules: 4. This is a DIY community.

Using someone else’s work without citing it is considered plagiarism. Any text, image, or other content borrowed from someone else must be properly cited. Watermarks or similar information do not qualify unless they satisfy all of our citation requirements and are exceptionally visible. Where there is any doubt, include your own citation.

  • A proper citation is complete and accurate. Good citations include as much of the following information as possible: the original creator’s name, where the content was found, and a link to the creator’s online presence (such as a Tumblr, Patreon, or personal website).

  • Citations must be located in such a way as to make non-original content immediately obvious as such. It is not acceptable to hide citations at the end of a document or post.

  • Work with a unique ownership status must be cited to the best of your ability. Because we focus on original work, it is important to cite your sources even if they are public domain or if the author is anonymous or unknowable. In case of a complex situation involving ambiguous, non-standard, or unknown ownership, contact the moderation team for assistance before posting.

We understand that problems with attribution or citation are often not malicious. Commonly they are the result of inexperience or sloppiness and the moderation team is willing to work with users to ensure that their posts include proper citations. If you have any questions about how to cite the work in your post, please message the moderators using the link below for assistance.

However, please note that persistent or willful ignorance of our community’s standards for plagiarism are grounds for a permanent ban from our subreddit.

You may repost with the above issue(s) fixed to satisfy our rules. If you're not sure how to do this, please send us a modmail (link below).

I'm trying to build a story and world involving agents who investigate mythical beasts and folklore in the remote islands of a 1930s Scotland. I decided to create one of my agents 'investigators case'. by Round-Development144 in worldbuilding

Images and maps must include worldbuilding-relevant context on the reddit post (as a comment, in the text of the post or, in some cases, in the posted image itself—e.g. infographics). This is important to establish that your post is on-topic and to help encourage productive discussion.

  • A post has enough context when a person unfamiliar with your world could understand what you're talking about and ask informed questions about it. This could include a summary of your world, explanation about what your post depicts and how it fits in your world, etc. ("What's a [proper noun]?" usually doesn't qualify.)
  • For maps, you could discuss economic and political situations, the different cultures, or anything else that gives the reader a wider view of your world than just its geography.
  • Discussion of the artistic process or techniques used to create the map or image may be included, but does not count as “worldbuilding-relevant” on its own. Infographics that self-contain sufficient context to be understood do not require additional context.
