This is my preferred approach on worldbuilding. I'm notoriously bad on thinking of stuff up front and what worked for me is to provide the details as the story develops.

Seems like it's kind of a both/and situation. "Why did the character do this? Hmm, because of space elves! Now where do they fit in to the world?"

Rules:

  1. Follow Lemmy's Code of Conduct.
  2. Remain on-topic. Worldbuilding contains many areas of interest, so, when in doubt, explain how your contribution fits within worldbuilding.
  3. Give context in the comments of your post. This will help your audience engage with your creation and encourage interaction.
  4. Tag posts as NSFW if they contain images or discussion of extreme violence or explicit sexuality.
  5. Advertising should not disrupt the community. Self-promotion of projects related to worldbuilding are fine. However, you must be willing to engage with your audience.
  6. Love each other. There's a human on the other side of your screen, so treat them with respect.
