Greetings WBGuild,

Ekknight, one of our members, is asking for any artists who might be interested in collaborating by drawing some of the original characters he has created. If you're looking for your next art project then this might be it. He's also offering a favourite and watch to anyone who draws one of his characters.

You can learn more about EK's characters and what he's looking for by clicking on his article below:

Anybody Who Draws Any of My OCs Gets a WatchI am a writer who needs a bunch of stuff to get drawn. If anyone draws anything of mine I'll give them a llama if I haven't already given them one + a fav + a watch and I'll feature the picture here.  If your interested please comment. Basically whatever you want to draw I'll find a way to incorporate it into my world. If you want to draw a spider or a pony or a goblin or whatever I'll figure out a way and you will get rewarded. (I swear, even if you want to make something that may seem irrelevant like a pony.) We will discuss it and fit it into the theme of my world.

Hi WBGuild,

I'm intrigued to know "Do you run a blog?"

If you run a blog of your own please share it's link in the comments and also give a little blurb about what it is. Do you welcome other bloggers to submit guest articles to you? Also do you provide a subscription service so people can sign up to your blog?

I'll use my own blog as an example:

The World Building School is a blog dedicated to helping authors, artist, game designers and GM's build their own fictional worlds. We welcome anyone to submit guest articles to us around the topic of world building and you can subscribe via email by visiting this link.



Please share your links with the Guild.

Hi WBGuild,

So we know you’ve been waiting to hear the announcement of who’s won the “World Building With Words” competition. Well here it is.

After discussions between the moderators there was a unanimous decision that the winner should be “The Blackheart Lacustrine Palace” by Joeabuy1000

The Blackheart Lacustrine PalaceThe Lacustrine Palace

Introduction

One of the old residences of Meridian’s royal family prior to their ascension to the throne, the Lacustrine Palace of House Blackheart was one of the most magnificent residences in the Imperial Capital City of Gestalt. Although not as huge or as old as that of the other palatial compounds of the noble houses of Anspach, it is definitely one of the most opulent—a wondrous blending of cultures that would help set the trend for all patrician residences and the architecture of the Meridian Empire for years to come.

Its history, from its construction as an urbane oasis within reach of the family&rs

We’d like to thank all of the writers who submitted an article to the competition. Each submission was great and had its own merits however The Lacustrine Palace managed to set itself above the rest.

The main reason is the high quality of writing shown by Joey. He brings the location to life through an interested journalistic style that provides facts about the location without becoming dry or boring. Added to that each section was nicely presented with a bold headline which made it easy to read.

We hope the guild will join us in congratulating Joey on winning this competition. If you haven't read this article yet then we recommend you head over to Joeabuy1000's profile and read it now.

Also, just because the competition has finished doesn’t mean you can’t still write articles about your locations. We’d love to see them submitted to the WBGuild’s gallery.

All the best.
