One original non-text media piece, e.g. a piece of art, video, music, etc., that brings your built world to life through vivid visual and/or auditory storytelling.
This sounds like a nice addition for those who want it, but I would be surprised if requiring it turned out to be worthwhile.
Yeah I was considering writing something up if I had free time but probably wouldn’t be able to fulfill this requirement at decent quality within a reasonable timeframe.
I was thinking that if they insist on requiring it (and I get around actually participating), I’ll just iterate on some prompts on wombo.art or similar until I get something decent.
My intuition is that this is quite relevant if the goal is to appeal to a wider audience. Not everyone, not even most, people are drawn in by purely written fiction.

Same. I’m fairly confident in my writing skills but lack any talent in the other areas and would find doing so embarassing
Yeah, it seems to require quite distinct skills. That said, they seem to be encouraging collaboration.

I think it is quite relevant.
However, if FLI are publishing a group of these possible worlds, maybe they want to consider outsourcing the media piece to someone else. It:
a) links/brands the stories together (like how in a book of related short stories, a single illustrator is likely used)
b) makes it easier for lone EAs to contribute using the skill that is more common in the community.
Oh yes I agree. I think that’d be a wonderful addition and would lower the barrier to entry!.
