  2. Remain on-topic. Worldbuilding contains many areas of interest, so, when in doubt, explain how your contribution fits within worldbuilding.
  3. Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
  4. Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
  5. Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.
  6. Love each other. There's a human on the other side of your screen, so treat them with respect.

Hope the day has been treating everyone well! Wanted to add this post here as well, as I think part of fleshing out a world is creating believable and relatable stories within that framework.

Over the past few months, I've written several articles that aim to define certain aspects of a fully sustainable world. After writing the last couple of articles, I wanted to really explore those concepts within a story. To really get a sense of how life might actually play out. Below I have a link to a story where I put together elements of an open travel society, a shared community, and food culture together:

[SOL001] - A Kitchen Story

I had fun writing the sections that I explored, and hope that reading through it was equally enjoyable. Would love any feedback or opinions that you may have. What did you think of the narrative? Could you envision yourself in that world? Would you buy a solarpunk cookbook filled with short stories?

Hope the rest of the day goes well and thanks for reading! :)

Thanks for the recommendation! Seems like an interesting book at first glance, so I'll be adding it to my list of future readings.
