Prompt No. 4: Building Wilcaville
Let’s build a world–together. For the final open call, submit index cards that are elements of a city called Wilcaville.
- Buildings, weather, maps, structures, roads, fixtures, citizens, tourists, holidays, services, events, animal life, etc.
- At most 5 topics across 5 cards max.
- You can build off or even contradict submissions I post online
- You just can’t maliciously destroy them and they will be rejected
- I will start off with five index cards and won’t submit anymore as I do not want one person to dominate the narrative.
- You can even submit other towns, cities, states, and countries–they just need to interact with Wilcaville somehow.
SUGGESTIONS:
- Feel free to attach objects found there, like postage stamps, currency, business cards, ticket stubs, etc.
- Trends
- Slang
- Superstitions
- Mottos
- Headlines
- Be as serious & as goofy as you want. It’s not a real city unless it holds contradictions hehe.
