About the World Building tag...

If you have read the recently posted short story Magic you might have noticed it had a tag called World Building on it as well as Firelight. Firelight is a tag that will be self-explained in the coming future so this post will be focused on the World Building one. Magic originally came about as a way to explain to myself how magic came about and why didn't the Creator do anything to those who abused magic. I never planned to post it to the general public as it was for myself and myself alone.

As it is I have obviously posted it... To a handful of places actually. It was originally handwritten in NaNoWriMo 2013 with a mixture of other work (By the way, my username for there is Amaritage). With Magic being the only thing to be posted for people to read. However, when I decided to try and do the 100 Theme's Challange this year on DeviantArt through story writing I decided I would two things with it;
  1. Continue the story of the boy from Magic
  2. Build upon a world that has several stories planned for it
Hence where the World Building tag comes from. Through telling the story of the boy from Magic I want to flesh out my world more than I have ever done before. The story will follow him through various events of his life learning things and exploring the world in a way the characters in the other stories cannot and will not because it would lead to information dumps within the story and subtract from the focus of the story itself while within the boy's story it will be about him learning more about the world around him.

As it is, I have written three stories to match the 100 theme challenge focusing on the boy. Two of them have been published on DeviantArt for some time while the third has sat on my computer waiting to be edited. After this post, I am going to start posting them in a few days and continuing the 100 Theme Challange here. I choose to do Variation One which is;

Just so you know the point of the challenge is to do any form of artwork, one hundred of them in total, using the words on the list that you have selected. It does not have to be in order either. If you are interested in participating yourself here is a link to where you can find a list of the different variations. Be warned though, the DeviantArt group is currently inactive so while you can access the variations you cannot post them into the group itself right now.
