Welcome to the Wongery!
The Wongery is a site for information about imaginary worlds. The
core features of the Wongery are the
Central Wongery, a wiki with content created by
the site's owners, and the Public Wongery,
where anyone can post their creations. All of the main content of
these wikis is released under an open license, so anyone can use it
for their own works, subject to the license's conditions.
Furthermore, aside from the description of the world, there are pages
devoted to additional applications, including RPG statistics, LEGO
models, and more.
If you're new here, feel free to browse the Central
Wongery or the Public Wongery, check out
the forum, or read the blog
to see a bit of the site's history.
(Yes, we know the site could really use some illustrations, among other things. The Wongery
is still very much a work in progress.)
This should be a relatively short blog post, although of course I say that without yet having written it (or rather while in the process of writing the first sentence of it), and given my tendency to digress and ramble on in these posts I cannot deny the possibility that it will end up being much longer than I anticipate for no good reason at all. Anyway, though, although this is likely something that nobody cares about but me, I wanted to announce that something that I'd intended to do over a year ago has finally been done: I have migrated the Wongery to its new hosting plan.
I say "new" hosting plan, but in fact I purchased this hosting plan, with the intent of moving the Wongery there, way back in December 2023, before the (much heralded but ultimately fairly meaningless) "hard launch". I didn't move it immediately because the hosting company said they would perform the migration for me, but they...
Yes, the Wongery itself continues to be and probably will always be unprofitable (I have so far made exactly zero units of currency from the Wongery, where which units of currency you choose doesn't of course matter since zero is the same in all of them), but that's not what the title is about. What the title does refer to should become apparently shortly, but I concede this this is another case in which I spent way too much time trying to think of a good title for the blog post and eventually went with a title I really didn't think was very good just because I figured I'd already spent too much time on it. I am bad at titles. I am bad at everything.
Anyway, though, so what is this blog post about? Well, alas, I haven't got as much done as I'd like within the last month. (That's not what the blog post is about either, but as you have no doubt noticed by now if you have read previous posts I am seemingly...
So. About two hours before this blog entry was posted was the deadline for WorldEmber, a challenge on the worldbuilding site World Anvil[1] that involved writing 10,000 words of worldbuilding in the month of December. (Well, mostly in the month of December, with...
- ↑ There's a part of me that sort of feels like World Anvil, as another site dedicated to worldbuilding, is in some sense a competitor of the Wongery, and that I shouldn't be bringing it up or participating there. This, of course, is silly. As I've discussed before, I think the Wongery and World Anvil (and other similar sites) serve different and at least partly complementary purposes, and I think there's room for both to coexist. Besides, of course, if it were a competitor, then given that nobody knows about or visits my site, the Wongery would be badly losing the competition.
