With contributions from a distinguished group of world-builders,
including academics, writers, and designers, this anthology of
essays describes the process and discusses the nature of
subcreation and the construction of worlds. From Oz to MUD, Walden
to Rockall, all the worlds featured in this volume share one thing
in common: they began in someone's imagination, grew from there,
and became worlds built with the assistance of multiple authors and
a variety of different ideas and media, including designs, imagery,
sound, music, stories, and more. The book examines this
development, with examples and discussions pertaining to the
process and the final product of the building of imaginary worlds,
including some transmedial worlds. World-Builders on World-Building
is a fascinating deep dive into the practical problems of
world-building as well as its theoretical aspects. It is ideal for
students, scholars, and even practitioners interested in media
studies, game studies, subcreation studies, franchise studies,
transmedia studies, and pop culture.
