I’ve seen a few ~aesthetic~ photos of rock stacks in rivers recently and this is just a reminder that you are destroying habitat when you move rocks around in rivers and streams.
In addition to dragonfly nymphs, rocky river beds are home to lots of other larval invertebrates like damselflies, mayflies, water beetles, caddisflies, stoneflies, and a bunch of dipterans. Not to mention lots of fish and amphibians!
Plus large scale rock stacking can change the flow of a stream and lead to increased erosion.
But this is fine. Doing the (worldbuilding) work is important. Showing it (all)? Not so much. The minute the details of world-construction start distracting your reader from the story you’re trying to tell, you’ve started undercutting your narrative’s effectiveness.
Less is more, here. If you know your build’s detail well, it’ll come out naturally enough where needed as you write. Just relax and let it ooze out through the cracks at its own pace.
I’ll be in Las Vegas for the 2023 Final Fantasy XIV FanFest! This otter has stickers. Moots let me know if you’re going and want one! I’ll be driving in on Wednesday and will be going to registration on Thursday! Leaving Sunday morning.
Rise of the Pink Ladies was nominated for choreography Emmy this week. You cannot legally watch an Emmy-nominated show because god forbid the studio has to pay workers for it—that’s the state of the industry with streaming right now. That’s why SAG and the WGA are striking.
