So, I was hoping you guys could help me polish up my submission. Here’s a link…[Read more]

Hey folks,

We’ve got a new guild war. This could be a good lesson in worldbuilding for speculative, historical, or contemporary authors…pretty much anybody.

Prompt: write a story in which two cultures clash.

Hey guys!

Three announcements concerning New Wessex.

1. I know sometimes community building, brainstorming, etc can be difficult on a forum. So I’m going to run an experiment. I’m going to create a group chat. You guys vote. It could be Facebook, it could be Hangouts. We’ll see how it goes. 😛

Hey Saxon Scribes,

As you’ve noticed, activity has been pretty low here. Same with the other guilds.

That’s fine if everyone’s busy, but if it’s just because the guilds weren’t attractive enough…
