The Coalies Are Back In Town

[coalcube]

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Coaltide Bar'n'Grill
The receipts will flow and wank will spill
And if the coalies wanna fight, you better let 'em
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song
The nights are getting longer, it won't be long
Won't be long 'til Yuletide comes
Now that the coalies are here again

Worldbuilding

[(Anonymous)]

yuletide-admin definition: In fandom circles, “worldbuilding” stories explore how a fictional world works beyond, or in more depth than, what’s shown in canon. They may focus on the world of a canon in addition to or instead of specific characters and relationships.

How would you interpret this differently with characters vs. without?

It's both with and without, depending on what aspect of the world you're exploring. Some explorations can be done with canon characters. For example, if you want to explore the worldbuilding in Essos some more, you can use some of the characters who have canonically been to Essos in Game of Thrones.

With other aspects, it's harder because the characters don't lend themselves to that particular topic, or because there are no canon characters who are or were in that area or time period. If you want to write about the Doom of Valyria, it'd probably be easiest with OCs.

You can also go and write unusual formats without any characters at all, like a fictional study or book, like excerpts from Lomas Longstrider's books.

With characters: please explore an element of the canon world in more depth via the lens of these characters' experiences

(And yes I have gotten YT fics that are two characters having a conversation in a nondescript room that doesn't reference anything specific to the canon world, so this can't be assumed.)

Without characters: please explore an element of the canon world in more depth, I don't care how.

Does anyone think a "worldbuilding" match acts as a setting-swap AU DNW?
