GREETINGS FROM FERKELBURG
Krazines' World-Building Project
About World-Building
For those unfamiliar with world-building, the term is often associated with the genres of science-fiction and fantasy; however, and particularly for this project, you should consider it as the art of everything. If your imagination leads you to create alien creatures, space ships, and castle ruins, that's great. If you're pulled more toward sketching or writing about the world around you, that's wonderful, too. Consistency between contributors is not important at this stage.
The website, well-storied, provides detailed information about world-building, and you may find it a great resource while creating art or a piece of writing for our publication.
World-Building Examples
When putting pen, pencil or brush to paper or typing stories on a typewriter or computer program and seeking inspiration, you may wish to consider the depth found in other fictional places: Lake Wobegon, Winesburg, Ohio, Grover's Corners, Spoon River Anthology, Hogsmeade and HogwartsSchool, Willy Wonka's Factory, Oz and the Emerald City, the Shire and Rivendell, Gotham City, Neverland, Narnia, Kings Landing and Winterfell (from Game of Thrones), South Park, Pandora (from the movie, Avatar), Lilliput, Jurassic Park, Bikini Bottom (from SpongeBob SquarePants), Springfield (from the Simpsons), Yoknapatawpha (William Faulkner's novels and stories.)
Like the police box-shaped, time-traveling Tardis from the Doctor Who series, Ferkelburg is a lot bigger on the inside than it would appear to someone who is seeing our hamlet from a distance.
