Worldbuilding Exchange fandom noms are open now! I don't think I've done this one before? But I definitely want to participate now!
So this is a post for brainstorming about which fandoms to nominate. I would love to hear about what fandoms you'd like to see worldbuilding fic for, even if you don't anticipate participating in the actual exchange!
I am going to nominate Chalice, as usual, and also "Seventy-Two Letters," a short story by Ted Chiang. I'm also thinking about the Mossa & Pleiti Series since The Mimicking of Known Successes had some of my favorite worldbuilding of the past year. Probably Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell and "This Is New Gehesran Calling." And maybe I'll try to read another Ted Chiang collection in the next few days since he definitely fires up my mind in the worldbuilding arena.
Tell me about any canon that has worldbuilding that you really love!
Whoever is running the exchange is hilarious. Per the nomination guidelines: "Real Person Fiction (RPF) will not be allowed, on the grounds that "real world worldbuilding", if it means anything at all, covers essentially all forms of human intellectual enquiry from quantum cosmology to celebrity journalism, and is therefore outside the scope of a fanworks exchange." Lol!
[eta] And I just saw the Hurt/Comfort Exchange is about to do signups too!!!! I love that exchange!!! But I'm already doing the MXTX Remix and then I do want to do Worldbuilding right after that and...that is too many exchanges!!! We cannot fight them all!!!
So maybe I should take the fact that I missed fandom noms for Hurt/Comfort as a sign not to do it this year? Why are there so many awesome exchanges? And why do I have to have a full-time job instead of being able to stay at home and write fic all the time???
[eta] You know what? I'm going to do both. There's a whole month separating the due dates, I should be fine!
Lol I'll have a fic assignment due March 29, April 21, and May 31!
