EDIT Thank you to the following people... who will now be helping with submissions! Welcome to the staff!
and
I feel that is enough people and thanks again for offering to help out.
Everyone please keep in mind that there is a big backlog of submissions so if yours has expired I apologize, give the submissions staff some time to get through the backlog. Thanks!
__________________________________________________________________________________
As the title states the founder of this group has bid us farewell and now I am suddenly in charge of this group. I don't mind it, but I won't be able to do it without help.
I would really like to get some people to help with submissions. I feel that is what we need the most right now. So please if you are interested, leave me a comment.
I will handle submissions to the featured worlds folders so you dont have to worry about those.
As other things are needed I will let you know, or if you have ideas then by all means, share them. We have a good crowd here, and I would hate to see this group die like many others do when the founder leaves.
Thanks...
OH.. I guess I should introduce myself... Bunni here, I am the founder of two other groups and have been in charge of the featured Worlds folders. (speaking of those, I need to get to that, now that I have the ability )
Thanks again for your patience in this matter,
Bunni.

Gallery Submissions OPEN
Submissions will be closed for a few days -- definitely for the weekend but not longer than one week from the time of posting this blog entry -- while some updates are made to our gallery folder structure and set-up.
Join requests will remain open during this time.
Changes are coming and I hope everyone will like them. Among them are: folders for memes, folders for sketchdumps and rough scribbles, and a place for works relating to your worlds that have been commissioned from other artists.
Now I open the floor to suggestions from all of our lovely members. Voice them in the comments below if there's anything in particular you'd like to see
Worldbuilding Guide: Mapping it Out
I'd like to apologize for getting this out so late. I had planned to update the guide every 2-4 weeks, depending on how hard each section was to write and how much life got in the way. Unfortunately for this bit, I had some technical difficulties added to the mix. I still want to update on the original schedule and will hopefully be able to do so consistently.
Enough of me talking. Let's get on with worldbuilding!
Shaping and Scale
By now, you should have found your seed idea and recorded it in detail. If not, see the previous installment of the guide or, if you want to build a world from scratch and see where it goes, continue from here.
A Few Quick Updates
Hello! A few small updates have been made to the group over the last few weeks and this here is just to officially announce them so people are in the know.
• We now have a rebooted Worldbuilding Guide running with thanks to Lindenare (https://www.deviantart.com/lindenare)! With each instalment we hope members will gain insight into thinking about and tackling various aspects of original world creation. :la:
• We now accept submissions in multiple languages! Thanks to ChimeraDragonfang (https://www.deviantart.com/chimeradragonfang) we can now review submissions in English, French, German, and Norwegian!
(This will be in place from mid-October, since Chim's on holiday until then and she's our only admin
The New Worldbuilding Guide: Introduction + Reboot
Hello, and welcome to the brand new worldbuilding guide! This will serve as a reboot of the earlier, incomplete guide.
I’m hoping to provide an overview of the creation of a world in a way that will spark ideas and help those who need it over rough spots with their own worlds. I will also be building an example world as the guide continues; this will hopefully clarify anything that I don’t communicate well and help you to generate ideas.
Note that this guide is geared toward the creation of worlds more or less like Earth – that is to say, rocky planets that humans would probably be able to survive on without fancy gear.
