What kind of streams can I do for WorldEmber?

As a WorldEmber Streamer, you can do whatever kind of streams you like! But here are some ideas.

In November we’ll be releasing four homework challenges on the Saturday live streams (7pm UK, 11am Pacific time). These are designed to help you get yourself and your world ready for WorldEmber… but they’ll be a great thing to stream live, too!

You can catch those homework segments live on our Twitch and Youtube channels, so make sure you’re subscribed and following so you don’t miss them!

Other kinds of WorldEmber streams:

Here are some other kinds of streams you can consider:

  • writing sprints – these are by far the most popular kind of worldbuilding streams right now
  • critique streams – where audience members offer up articles for online critique
  • reading work aloud (either your own worldbuilding articles or the audience’s) – it’s a great way to get people inspired
  • sharing online prompts
  • troubleshooting problems – either the audience’s problems or yours – with your world!

Not only is it a great way to find people who will enjoy your streams, but they’re also a lovely, supportive bunch with an incredible sense of community.
