On Monday, I reflected on having posted for over a decade now<\/strong><\/a> on both my own blog and the Supernatural Underground<\/strong><\/a> (SU) \u2013 pretty dope, huh?!<\/p>\n

\"\"This year on the Supernatural Underground I have focused on Worldbuilding in Fantasy as my theme. A major reason for that is because it\u2019s a part of the genre that I really love\u2014and I love the genre fullstop!—but also because I believe worldbuilding lies at the heart of what makes the genre distinctive from other styles of literature.<\/p>\n

As I also mentioned on Monday, a number of my fellow SU authors have been members of the community with me for most of those ten years \u2013 and although every year is a time for celebrating community, 2020 feels \u2018more so\u2019 than ever in that respect.<\/p>\n

So to both reflect our shared blogging milestone and to celebrate community, four of our SU authors have joined me in the final Worldbuilding in Fantasy series post to celebrate our Supernatural Underground worlds.<\/p>\n

In the post each author hones in on an aspect or aspects of the worlds and worldbuilding in their own writing, offering insight into their process or reflecting on what motivates or shapes aspects of their worlds.<\/p>\n

I believe Worldbuilding in Fantasy #11<\/strong> is a really great read and feel privileged to have had the opportunity to put the post together \u2013 which is why I\u2019m pleased to invite you to join us on the Supernatural Underground and celebrate the magic and marvels of our Supernatural Underground worldbuilding:<\/p>\n
