I have attempted some fiction in my conworld but the stories serve to build the world further rather than the world existing as a backdrop for the stories. Also, I've migrated from Obsidian to DokuWiki. I want version history and an easy way to share what I write. I used Obsidian in my post because I figured people would know it better.
Right. I know Dokuwiki. My day job is managing tools for people and this is one of them.
That being said, very cool. I had a whole weekly page in a popular regional for over 10 years. The guy who taught me how to write really showed me the way forward and gave me the final oomph to get into fiction. Now I have a whole website, with episodes.
Cool. My conworld deeply reflects my interests and fears, and I don't expect or intend it to be broadly appealing. I am both the author and the only audience member worth pleasing. One of the reasons I love amateur speculative fiction is that I'm seeing the author's raw imagination unfiltered by editors or focus groups. The prose is rough at the best of times but rarely is the setting or concept uninteresting.
That being said, I love drawing but I'm not good at it, which is why I attempt writing. I'd love to make this into a web comic, since I always have little scenarios or character interactions in my head that would work best in that format.
