Hello worldbuilding exchange people! Right now this is a little blank, but will be using it as a place to put optional thoughts later!
Ty for participating!

Dear WBEX author,
Ty so much for participating in this exchange! I'm very excited! For most things, i kinda feel like the tags themselves are their own prompts and I'm open ended. As long as you create something you want that's great! But here's some optional info and prompts.
General:
General likes: I'd usually say "worldbuilding", but well.... considering this challenge it's all worldbuilding. xD In general I like how fantastical and mundane elements interact, little adventures and exploration, found family. I like works diving into the small details of an environment or city. And also works that leave more questions after!
Recently I've been interested in the study of history and historiography (the study of different ways a piece of history gets told over time) and also legal stuff and mysteries.
General DNW: graphic/explicit non con (includes extreme torture and non con healing too) on screen child or animal abuse, major character death, pregnancy, bodily fluids/waste, food as part of kink, totally hopeless endings, or character bashing (aka fics that spend most of the time ragging on a character).
Also, I'm open for smut, but it doesn't have to be smut!
If you do decide to go a smutty route, my general smut likes include M/M and F/F, nonbinary characters, poly, mild "Formal D/s" elements, gunplay, characters making it work with their disabilities. Heat/ sex pollen, Alien or otherwise animal or xeno anatomy.
Smut DNWs include: genital injury or mutilation, focus on details of penetration, abuse of genuine weak spots, humiliation,
I'm also open for art, videos, or IF.
So, on to the good stuff!
The House With a Clock in its Walls:
WB: Magical Universities and Education (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)WB: Magical Artifacts and Spellcasting (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)WB: Revolutionary War (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)WB: History of New Zeebedee (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)Any or No Characters (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)Original Character(s) (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)Florence Zimmerman (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)Jonathan Barnavelt (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)Lewis Barnavelt (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)Rose Rita Pottinger (The House With a Clock in Its Walls)FanartFanfictionIn-Universe Meta
So just some thoughts, Florence Zimmerman has like 2 doctorates from Wittenberg University, What's up with that?? or any of the other magical education options in universe? We get little snippets of the history of secret societies or magic, especially around the revolutionary war. Might be neat to expand on one of those. Or any other period. There's also the made up towns (which are based on IRL) like New Zeebedee, even some "mundane" in-universe history about them could def. be interesting. Also welcome to bring in any later books in the series ofc.
Homestuck 1:
WB: The Ancestors and Alternian Culture (Homestuck)WB: The world of the Felt and Midnight Crew gangs (Homestuck)WB: Troll Actor Names (Homestuck)WB: Disability and Accomodation (Homestuck)WB: Classpects and/or music and their relationships (Homestuck)WB: Carapacian and game construct culture and relations (Homestuck)Any or No Characters (Homestuck)Original Character(s) (Homestuck)Any Carapacian (Homestuck)Any Cherub (Homestuck)Neophyte Redglare (Homestuck)Her Imperious Condescension (Homestuck)The Summoner (Homestuck)FanartFanfictionIn-Universe Meta
Tbh, it would be quicker to list the parts of Homestuck that I'm *not* interested in, while the parts I am interested in could go on all day. But i'm especially interested in the world of the Midnight Crew gang and the place they built. What's life like on the Green Moon? I'm also interested in the overlap between that and Problem Sleuth and wouldn't mind guest appearances. I'm also interested in how the felt/leprechauns work. And other game constructs.....
It would also be cool to see something diving into The Ancestors and the culture of Alternia in their day. Politics, Fashion, Crafts? whatever! The costume designs for them are fantastic!
And really how anyone of any species deals with disability can be --Exciting.
Guild Wars 2:
WB: "Minor Races" - culture & history (GW2)WB: Skritt culture & history (GW2)WB: Asura culture & history (GW2)WB: Charr culture & history (GW2)WB: Sylvari culture & history (GW2)WB: Organizations and Orders of Tyria (GW2)WB: Elder Dragons and their effects on Tyrian society (GW2)Any or No Characters (GW2)Original Character(s) (GW2)Taimi (GW2)FanartFanfictionIn-Universe Meta
Any of the cultures above in more depth would be cool! or an adventure from the pov of one of the so called "minor races". For organizations and orders, any of the main three could be cool, but there are also other organizations working in Tyria too. For dragons, it would be interesting to hear an interaction with a dragon cultist or minor minion. Or see a bit of things from their perspective. For this I'd prefer if it not focused on mordremoth or stuff after PoF (mostly for spoiler purposes). I'd also be interested in nuance as opposed to them being pure evil.
Star Trek: DS9
WB: Cardassian Literature (ST:DS9)WB: Spycraft and Intelligence Gathering (ST:DS9)WB: Reconstruction of Cardassia (ST:DS9)WB: the Vorta after the Dominion War (DS9)WB: Inside The Dominion (ST:DS9)WB: Ferenginar and Everyday Life There (ST:DS9)WB: Federation journalism and perspectives on Bajor and the Dominion War (DS9)WB: Shops on the Promenade (ST:DS9)Any or No Characters (DS9)Original Character(s) (DS9)Odo (ST: DS9)Quark (ST:DS9)Julian Bashir (ST:DS9)Garak (ST:DS9)Jake Sisko (DS9)FanartFanfictionIn-Universe Meta
Dark is Rising:
WB: Intersections of Magic and Everyday Life (Dark is Rising)WB: Wild Magic (Dark is Rising)WB: The Old Ones and Lords and Ladies of the Dark (Dark is Rising)WB: Magic and Coastal Life (Dark is Rising)Any or No Characters (Dark Is Rising)Original Character(s) (Dark Is Rising)FanartFanfictionIn-Universe Meta
Myst Series:
WB: Environment of the D'Ni Caverns (Myst)WB: The City of D'Ni (Myst)WB: The Art of Writing Linking Books (Myst)Any or No Characters (Myst)Original Character(s) (Myst)FanartFanfictionIn-Universe Meta
I'm just interested in the environment of the D'ni caverns and the City of D'ni! And the architecture! (this is an appreciated opportunity for art). Also could be interested in the exploration of other ages and the writing of books. What kind of book might an OC (D'ni or non-D'ni) write?
Extras:
These didn't quite make it onto the list on time but i'd still be interested in small treats involving:
Celeste: Meta focusing on the environment and creatures of Mount Celeste and featuring your new characters/OCs.
Original Sci Fi/Urban Fantasy/Fantasy: Focusing on Maritime settings (or their spacefaring equivalents), crafts, urban arts/music scene or history (including inaccurate or suppressed history) and animals.
GL and have fun!
Ty for participating!
