Here, we shall share the collective knowledge of magic, worldbuilding, and the like!

To join this guild, you must foreswear against intentional use of icky grammar. Take the Oath of the Author:

Spoiler

 

I will write all the time

I'm technically lying, because I'm a huge procrastinator

But I have to take this oath to join the guild, so...

I will write all the time

Or try to, anyways

*waves hand* amen?

 

Always recall the three tenets of this guild: Worldbuilding, Magic, and Storywriting.

Once you have joined the Guild, you will receive your standard-issue Badge of Admission (can someone design that? I'm terrible at graphic design) and some basic writing devices. You may ascend the ranks by performing deeds and writing stuffs. The ranks (very underdeveloped, currently. Expect all this to change):

Spoiler
  • Guild Member: A member of the Guild.
    • Req: Join the Guild
    • Writing Devices: Standard-Issure (Setting and Dialogue)
  • Fantasy Author: Someone who legitimately writes things
    • Req: Submit a fantasy work, either here or in the Creator's Corner (or give us a good reason why you want to keep your works private)
    • Writing Devices: Thematic Dialogue and W.I.S. (Worldbuilding in Setting).
  • Guild Artisan: You're a full member of the Guild, writing for it on a 'regular' basis
    • Req: Submit fantasy works regularly. That last word is to be interpreted loosely.
    • Writing Devices: Foreshadowing, Character Development, Plot Development, and several more that I don't want to list.
  • Published Author: The highest honor of the basic ranks
    • Req: Publish a fantasy novel/story/anything.
    • Writing Devices: Sequels, Prequels, and everything else that everybody hates because they're generally bad.
Spoiler

If someone could design badges for all those, I'd be all over it.

  • Guild Staff: Work with the Guild to maintain it.
  • Guild High Staff: Lead a group of Guild Staff in a certain area of Guild maintainance.
  • Lord Hegemon of Fantasy Authors: Leader of the Guild.

Now that I am the treasurer, my first act will be appointing @Chasmgoat as my assistant treasurer.

 

Currently, the guild has absolutely no funding and no money.

also, I can design badges. at least some of them. I will need ideas though.

Edit: as assistant treasurer I proclaim our funds.

money: 0 units of money

debt: 0 units of money

do we have an official money? boxings?

also, I, along with assistant treasurer, would like to apply for digital designer.

Heck. Where do you propose we get some of that sweet, sweet cha-ching?

Please! The idea I had was just as a regular gold/silver/copper badge inscribed with the rank. I'm thinking it could have a book symbol, or a number of book symbols denoting a basic rank hierarchy.

Welcome, Omi. Have you posted the book you're writing at all, or...?

I swear the ideals! Would my expanded version of The Girl Who Looked up count as a fantasy work? It’s in Sanderson Fanworks and my signature.

Holy heck does that count! I'm granting you the immediate role as Acclaimed Author because... I mean, Brando Sando himself acclaimed your writing.

I call being the secretary of War!

We are going to war with those filthy sci-fi writers, right?

In regards to my works, I have a so-so fantasy short story I wrote a while ago that I'll post here. I'm going to improve it a little before then, though.

Unrealistic? Tax the members.

Realistic? Go Fund Me.

What if we started a currency throughout the Shard? Like, everyone has a daily alotment of 20 arrow signs that they can give to people when they like their stuff, or something.

So for the badge, a basic shield shape and in metal. maybe some sanderson language etchings along the sides or top to denote which rank? I may also include a file so you can 3d print it.

As much as I'd love to 3D print something... I don't have a 3D printer. Also, as much as I love Sanderspeak, this is a guild for Fantasy Authors everywhere, not just Sanderfans (though I guess the fact that it's on the Shard means that anyone here is a Sanderfan by default...), which is why I'm going with BOOK SYMBOLS.

Not quite... soon... soon...

You want to be the... sure. Sure. Secretary of War. Why not?

And why the heck would we go to war against the sci-fi writers? They aren't filthy! Sci-fi is basically just magic disguised as science!

I have thought about it and it would be pretty cool, however I believe that the mods do not code the program the shard runs on. So, I doubt we could get one

I also have been acclaimed by Brandon does that earn me the title of acclaimed author?
