Worldember 2025 is here!


Worldember is upon this, and this is the time of year where I write random articles like a madman for the whole month of December.

My Worldember page is here.
The leaderboard page is here.

As of the writing of this post, I'm about 14,300 words in. I only need to write 10,000 words to get a badge and 50,000 to get the top level badge. In past years, I've run between 80,000 and 100,000 words and usually land somewhere between 8 and 12 on the leaderboard.

I am currently in 18th place (pathetic!), and they only keep track of the top ten for number of articles, and I'm not even close to tenth place. but I'm focusing more on quality of words than quantity of words. And I'm putting in more pictures and quotes and doing a better job proofreading (which often means trimming redundant passages which hurts my word count).

My new approach seems to be working. I'm getting more "likes" than I ever have before. I'm currently 20th for most likes. I've never even made the top 100 before. I'm currently on four subcategories for most liked articles. The subcategories are based on template and I'm on the board for the species, tradition, material, and title. Something that's never happened before either.

I'm getting new subscribers too. So my quality based approach is working. That said, if I can do quality and quantity.

Capes as signifiers of status in Fumaya is one of my earliest articles written this season and is my best received so far.

I might actually win the subcategory for titles with moon-brightened leaders. This is my second-best received article, but I have a lot of fewer writers competing in this category.

My personal favorite, is midnight mushrooms, is my personal favorite and also seems well received. Though this is in the species category which is normally the second most written category besides "characters". I have written several character bios, so far, but none of them stand apart in my mind as head and shoulders above the rest of my articles, so I haven't entered that category yet and might not do so.

 

I am writing articles in themed sets.


Zarthus Morality Plays


Phidas Morality Plays


Greymoria Morality Plays

I have nine deities and ten priesthoods and all of them occasionally run plays but these are the three groups that put a lot of effort into their theatrical productions.

I also am writing a lot of articles about clothing and fashion but that's still a work in progress.
