2023 - Beachy Keen

This page was written over a year after the original event as a more overview-style summary. The original articles were hosted on wow that's a lot of stars, and have been moved here as sub-articles. I haven't updated their formatting, so some parts of these sub-articles may look strange.

Summary

My first Summer Camp was only a couple months after I made my first WA World. I reached diamond by writing 32 articles, and one of them even won the prompt it was entered into. However, it took most of my free time for the month, and several articles ended up shoved into an archive because I didn't actually want them. Of the ones I kept, many remain unformatted and work for future me to update.

Goals

Work through my to-write list

Of 32 articles, 22 were on my to-write list with 12 being high priority. Three were vital to the setting: The Scream, the Battle for Talmar, and Trey.

Have fun

I enjoyed writing as always, but there were less-fun aspects. Like my brain obsessing over a hard-to-write article, or other challengers yelling at me.

Share my work

I shared several articles, but found SC overwhelming and myself reluctant to contribute to the volume. This might be better achieved outside of events.
