Yulebuilding 2025

[moontyger]

Greetings and salutations! Yuletide contains multitudes, and a chunk of those multitudes would really like to request or write worldbuilding. Thus, here is a sub-challenge post for those of us who love worldbuilding, either on the giving or receiving end.

To participate

• Leave a comment on this fic with a link to your letter if you are interested in receiving worldbuilding. Optionally, add any extra worldbuilding likes and prompts you may have into your comment.
• If you don't have a letter, you can still leave prompts here! Please ensure your comment includes your AO3 username, requested fandoms, and any characters you're requesting.
• When uploading your fic to the archive, tag it with Yulebuilding and Worldbuilding so the rest of us can find it!

Fandoms: Graceling Realm - Kristin Cashore, Wayfarers Series - Becky Chambers, Nettle & Bone - T. Kingfisher
Prompts:
- Graceling: I failed to nom worldbuilding so I did not specifically request it as a character, but I would deeply enjoy worldbuilding fic here anyway! Some thoughts: What was it like in Monsea during Leck's reign? What was it like for the Dellians to discover the Seven Kingdoms? What other Graces are out there? How does Saf's Grace work?
- Wayfarers: My request is themed around Sidra and Pepper but I'd be cool with other worldbuilding too! Ideas: what kinds of experiences do other AIs in body kits have? What legislative debates are there about body kits? What is life like back on Pepper's home colony? How do the factories work? What happens to the girls when they get older? What happened to the other Janes who disappeared? What are the Mothers like?
- Nettle & Bone: I don't have as many specific ideas, but it's a big world and there's so much room to explore in terms of the other kingdoms, the blighted land that's only really mentioned in passing, the potentials of how the dust-wives work, etc!
