A little bit late. XD but I wanted to add everything to WorldAnvil. Now I only need to add to that site and post the link on my platforms. I can write a lot more about the project over there.

For the first 6 days of #The100dayproject I mostly drew Kaj. They are 1 out 2 of the main characters, they work as a florist. Kaj inherited their flower shop from their grandparent. I’m still working on Kaj’s design and brushing up on drawing people. XD

I’m joining #The100DayProject this year. I will be doing headshots and doodles of my character from the story “Death & Flowers” that I’m working on. I will be posting the images on social media around once a week. So I won’t spam so much. XD

Need a place for your characters?

Charahub is closing down on March 1st. If you’ve stored your OCs there, it’s time to migrate! Luckily, World Anvil is here to help. We are free, but our guild memberships (which cost as little as a coffee a month) can add more customisation options. Until the end of March, get up to 25% off new guild memberships by using the code “WELCOME_CHARAHUB” at checkout.

Our Character template provide easy to use fields you can use to keep track of everything about your character - from year of birth, to their relatives, alignment and favourite hobbies.

These fields can interact with the rest of your world. When you have a setting, fandom or otherwise, for all your OCs here you can connect the articles you’ll write for their species, their home town, and much more. 

This means you’ll never forget to record your characters hair colour, mother’s name or favourite food again. It will be right in front of you and asking you for that information.

Quotation blocks allow you to introduce a character and tell the reader what they think about the topic. They’re as simple as using the [quote]text here[/quote] bbcode! Nightfoot uses this in her profile for Katea, Princess of Hosquerre.

In the article Aniks Alas'thil by Hanhula, she shows off the relationship tracker. Filling this out is super easy, and the result is a quick guide to how the character’s feel about each other. There is no more need to read back your huge relationship section next time someone asks you what your OC thinks of their ex.

Guild members can also use custom CSS to make their character profiles shine! TJ uses a beautifully customised CSS theme in his article for Eun and Kyung, allowing the whole article to fit with his pixel art.

You can also use our maps feature to enhance your characters. Maps? Why? Well, many of our users have re-purposed our map system to enhance their character articles. Ademal in his article for Vigor Mortis uses an interactive map to show an aura, energy and physical map of his character, including interactive popups for his scars and implants.

Get writing!

You can talk to World Anvil on Deviant Art, Tumblr, Twitter, our Subreddit and our Discord server. Ask our friendly community leaders any questions you need help with, and your awesome OCs out of your mind and on World Anvil!

I'm currently doing NaNoWriMo and thus am writing a novel, the novel takes place in one of my worlds named Idyll (formerly known as Eitt) and on Idyll lives a species that doesn't belong.

They are keeping hidden to not be chased off the planet (98% of them are pacifists) like they were from their original planet. I would like to be able to add more information about the species than what I have now so any questions about this species would be greatly appreciated. Especially questions that can spawn other articles, WorldAnvils version of NaNoWriMo is coming up in December and I need ideas for articles.

Here is an excerpt from my article over at WorldAnvil: The hidden

A long time ago on a planet full of magic that existed far away from Idyll, Dragons lived peacefully. However, because of their immense power, the other creatures of the planet feared them and plotted to banish them.

The others succeeded and the Dragons fled from their own planet. With their peaceful life pulled out from under their claws they couldn’t even trust each other.

Do you have any suggestions for me while I get into the nitty-gritty of writing about a hidden species?

Do you have any secret societies/species in your world?

What kind of audience are you writing your stories for? Where you might want to post them have a lot to do with that. You can also post them on your worldanvil world with the prose template. :)

A couple of weeks ago, I was watching a YouTube video and in it, they mentioned a world-building site called World Anvil. They had a link in the description, so I decided to check it out. It sounded cool, but I wasn’t planning on signing up because I didn’t want to pay for anything. Turns out they have they have four membership levels, the highest being $10, the lowest being free. I made a free account and I really like it (It might move to the $5 membership soon). I started working on a world. I really like it and I have big plans. I want to make a series of independent, but interconnected stories. I still need to find a place to publish them, but I’m hoping to get the first story out by January (it’s a big project, I don’t want to rush it). Until I find a site to publish on, I’m going to keep working on my world-building. I’m still working out a lot on this idea, but you can comment on or ask about anything, either in the comment section of the articles or right here. Here’s the link: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/theia-acingdyslexia

Also, @worldanvil, your website is awesome and really helpful, thank you.

Second also, if one has a suggestion of where to publish short stories online, I’d love to hear about them.
