Feral Fridays 2023 | The Power of Copper
Power comes in a great many forms, and I'm here to munch and crunch on all of the wonderful ways our community has decided to interpret the theme!Our very first Feral Fridays showcase brings you a collection of Copper-wave prompt responses submitted by the community! Tune in Fridays during SummerCamp for more article readings, and submit your own for the feral festivities! These articles ranged from thought-provoking to downright hysterical, and I admire the community's ability to produce such a range from the same collections of prompts!

Chocolate
by CrazyEddie
Some materials fuel things you wouldn't expect... like war? Whether chocolate is your joy or your paycheck, you can't deny it's a powerful thing. Loving this chocolate SummerCamp theme, so you know I'll be watching this saga unfold.
Etetol
by Catoblepon
A settlement that is half terrestrial and half aquatic, and a home to sirens! The demographics wheels are beautiful, and it's interesting to see smaller settlements that belong to specific groups.
Leik
by Ninodonlord
It always intrigues me to see materials (and other things) that people believe to be far less powerful than they truly are — especially when they end up finding out how wrong they are later on.
Shadow Imp
by KajetanWrites
This article intrigued me for the way it introduced creatures of similar origin, but pointed out that these imps are quite different on a physical level. I'm so curious to know how or why this happened!
Sylverquill
by Theiket
This article enchanted me in so many ways, from the poetic and descriptive writing, to the very notion of this delicate creature holding power in this world. A delight of a read!
Mothiric 'Sunshadow' Hawk
by Quisi
I went from being enamored by the idea of birds with moth wings, to horrified by the size of this creature. They say it's extinct, but can we really be sure? Lots of great things can come from this!
Growing Unrest In Central Tilth
by Moonlight Bard
We love to see a power struggle between the establishment and the common man, but we also LOVE to see the creative bits of propaganda that can spawn from such conflicts. Devour the Truth!
Dryskhell Thorgeans
by ecl1psed
Boasting a brutal origin and history, it's always intriguing to see cultures with a naming system which seems to predetermine your worth in society. A mold meant to be broken?
Weird and Magik
by oaster2000
The longest read of the night, but an interesting one all the way through! It's so fun to read an in-world perspective on the forces that be, and the uncertainty that comes with such narrators.
CoRefs
by FirelDakuraito
This article features a currency system I found fascinating, and I would love to learn even more about this system! I appreciate the mentions of how this currency was perceived by different groups.
How are you still alive
by Those2Nerds
This article coined one of my favorite things I've ever heard a creature called: empty-headed confetti weasels. These creatures are endlessly endearing; not even I am immune to their charm.
Epson Quills
by drunkenpanda951
This article is a genius and humorous example of transforming the real-world quirks of technology into something fantastical. I loved getting to know these "creatures," and how problematic their reproductive tendencies can be!
Bog Frog
by Alishahr
I don't encounter a ton of articles that make me laugh at nearly every turn, but this PSA against bog frogs really had me going, as this speaker is SO opinionated about these creatures!
Find The Rainbow In The River
by Nimsy
This is such a lovely tradition, that I only wish I could see some images of! Displaying artwork is already a wonderful thing, but filling a river with beautiful creations is a wonder!
Champions of the Dawn
by Strixxline
My own article, that I'd only submitted earlier that day! First of my SummerCamp entries, I finally begin talking about the gods of my world, a plan I've had for months.
Traditional Tea
by George Sanders
Every article I read from George is simply beautiful in the way it is written, and the imagery evoked throughout. Such beautiful storytelling makes me wish I was out having some tea myself.
The Eternal Fire
by EBelt
There are many powers over which wars are fought. This one, however, inspired battles in which there were no victors. Sometimes guiding lights are just tragedies waiting to happen.
by Strixxline
Holy moly, I knew thered be many more articles after i went to sleep, but you really knocked it out of the park! Looking forward to the silver prompts :)
