TJ's Spooktober 2023 Stubs

A collection of 13 mysterious stubs that I plan on expanding during WorldEmber this year!

This article is a recap of the progress I made during Spooktober 2023!

Event recap

If you've had a peek at my journal you can see that I've been busy setting up this fresh new world!
I decided at the very last minute to take part in Spooktober this year and, with only 2 days left, I managed to create 13 stub articles that I can expand during WorldEmber at the end of this year!
In order to keep things short and sweet, I decided to write little quotes and excerpts (aiming for 50 words or less). I intend on resetting the date on these so that they'll count towards my WorldEmber progress, but if some of them are too big to count that's okay - I'll expand them anyway!

Stubs created

1. Crow: a tiny poem about a murid named Mo and her friendship with crows.
2. Incorporeal: a grounding note about the five 'realms' of sensing.
3. Thunder: an arbin explaining the history of their arboreal home.
4. Eerie: growing concerns of the screaming island floating in from offshore.
5. Harvest: a quest to recover rare and powerful magic artifacts.
6. Moon: kids ask the real questions. Questions like: "is the moon a giant floating island?"
7. Summoning: surrender artifacts in exchange for tax exemption!
8. Slither: a proposed trade of magical knowledge.
9. Fade: remembering what is now laid in ruins.
10. Apparition: were the old bedtime stories true?
11. Claw: something has (or had) very big claws...
12. Dry: the challenges of living on a floating island.
13. Drown: a jar of honey makes a sweet gift!

Upcoming plans

During November 2023 I'll be joining the community in preparing for my favourite event of the year, WorldEmber! I plan on finishing up my world meta, polishing a few more bits on my CSS theme, and maybe prepare some more pixel art header images that I can use across different article templates. I'm also on the lookout for unofficial community challenges! Let me know if you're planning on running one soon :D
