"We are stardust.
We came from the stars and to the stars we shall return.
In the meantime, we remember these truths with our Wyrmsong.

The Breath of the Wyrm provides our voice.
The Scales of the Wyrm protect our substance.
The Wings of the Wyrm uplift our deeds.
The Fangs of the Wyrm gnaw our meanings.
The Horns of the Wyrm defend our customs.
The Claws of the Wyrm scratch our glyphs.
The Eyes of the Wyrm witness our triumphs.
The Tail of the Wyrm steers our memories.

Together, they sing : we sing."

Greetings, fellow glossopoeists.

I propose a collaborative linguaculture -- a (sub)culture created in and around a language -- based on the Common Honey model of language creation.

What is the Common Honey model?

It is a system that addresses both the division of labor and the relation of each participant to each other. To clarify, each role has final say and jurisdiction over a particular part of the language. Additionally, each role has attendant cultural taboos which help to foster a sense of community identity.

For example, in the Sajem Tan (Common Honey) community, "Thunder" is in charge of phonology and her taboo is that she may not rhyme, neither in English nor in Sajem Tan.

While Thunder or, indeed, any other member is allowed (and encouraged!) to accept feedback and proposals from their fellow participants, she still has the authority to approve, veto, or disregard any suggestions regarding phonology. In fact, during Sajem Tan's "Age of Great Reforms", Thunder changed /ʎ/ to /j/, /ɵ/ to /œ/, and /ɤ/ to /o/ based on the community's difficulty pronouncing these phonemes.

This system provides stability, yet encourages compromise and flexibility. The stability emerges from having definitive "answers" from a single individual/source, terminating indecisiveness and power struggles between members. Compromise and flexibility emerge when the members realize that any outré decisions or stubbornness on their part could be reciprocated by their co-collaborators.

With regards to the taboos -- the heart of the culture -- click this link to read the post which inspired Common Honey to exist:
listserv.brown.edu/cgi-bin/wa? .

Pay particular attention to this quote:

"You don't just become "a speaker" of this language, you must take on a more particular title. I'm imagining a culture as well, I suppose, but it's not just a fictional culture-- like the language itself, the imagined society is meant to come to life as the players take their parts."

Before you join, please read the following essay.

Is a Collaborative Language Even Possible?
fiatlingua.org/wp-content/uplo

It will prepare you for some common pitfalls, most of which I have seen verified in the many collaborative projects on Reddit and elsewhere. To maintain momentum and to prevent burn-out on a small community, please invite as many people as possible. There may come a time when we'll need a designated ambassador/recruiter to reinvigorate the community with new members during lulls or absences.

On that note, we ask that you be available for at least two days each week so that we can conduct voice chats and live collaborations. Please, state your available days and hours when you introduce yourself.

Lastly, and most importantly, see the ⁠rules.

Thank you for your interest. Post any comments and questions that you may have.

Inktober 52 2025 - Week 6 - 'Swamp'

Just a quick one this week. Decided to redraw an ancient wyrm design of mine and make it more 'swampy'.

I (again) hid a painted-on fold on the dress that isn't in the sculpt! Can you spot it? The WIP photo might help.

I wanted her to have darker skin, so there isn't quite enough contrast where it's touching the #wyrm. I also wasn't intentionally doing gold NMM on the trim. It just somehow...clicked for me while trying to make the yellow look sharp.

Had a big update on MAIN SEQUENCE, our little sci-fi game powered by WyRM. Cleaned up, streamlined, filled in some gaps, and threw together some new record sheets! Also tossed up a "Vault" of the original games from over 10 years ago!

Hoy es día de publicar un nuevo dragón —además esta vez europeo— :ablobcatattentionreverse:

Este me ha quedado especialmente bien y creo que le estoy cogiendo cierto gusto a un grupo de pinceles que me compré hace un tiempo :blobcatmeltlove:

Wyrm parser can finally parse basics.wyrm. Still have more stuff to define. But, I have support for tokenizing everything in this block:

;;
;; Greet a person with enthusiasm!

:> greet ( String -- String ) == "Hello, " prepend "!" append ;
