M-Moya (Season 10 Runner Up)
M-Moya's Submission
Final Score Breakdown: 91/100
1. Creativity and Originality (27/30)
This submission displays a high level of creativity and originality, with expansive and imaginative worldbuilding that brings Nationania to life. Concepts like dungeon farming, the Great Disappearance, and the Orckro War are inventive and memorable, and each region is crafted with a distinct cultural identity that adds depth and realism. However, some character portrayals—such as the depiction of orcs as “barbaric”—rely on familiar fantasy stereotypes without much subversion. Adding nuance or exploring alternative perspectives within these groups would enhance the originality further.
2. Structure and Organization (22/25)
The structure and organization are strong, effectively following an encyclopedia format with consistent subheadings and a logical internal flow. The entries are clearly laid out and easy to navigate, contributing to the reader's understanding of the world. Still, transitions between historical context and cultural analysis can occasionally feel abrupt, particularly in the sections on Orcania and Unknownia. Incorporating smoother transitions would improve the cohesion and pacing.
3. Engagement and Impact (23/25)
In terms of engagement, the entries are rich with intrigue and layered with myth and mystery, particularly surrounding Unknownia and the vanished Nancarrow tribes. These elements sustain interest and give the world a sense of ongoing discovery. However, some parts of the text adopt an overly factual, list-like tone that flattens the narrative energy. Varying sentence structure and incorporating more vivid or sensory language could enhance reader immersion without compromising the encyclopaedia style.
4. Grammar and Spelling (9/10)
Grammar and spelling are generally strong, with clear language and solid mechanics. Minor issues—such as occasional comma misplacement or awkward phrasing—are present but infrequent. A final proofreading pass would smooth out these small imperfections and polish the writing further.
5. Prompt Adherence (10/10)
Finally, the submission adheres excellently to the prompt. It fully embraces the fictional encyclopaedia format, balancing detailed exposition with creative storytelling in a way that feels consistent and purposeful throughout.
Writing Challenge:
Your writing challenge is to write up a fictional encyclopedia of each region in the map of the world of Nationania. Each place in the world map with a name is a region. Each section of the encyclopedia must be dedicated to one region. You have complete freedom in choosing what you want to write about for each region but you must write no more than 1500 words per section. Examples of types of information you can include are the regions’ history, geography, demographics, culture, social customs, religions, societal level, technological level, economic status, etc.
