Worldbuilding

Worldbuilding is the process of creating and adding details to an imaginary setting, either for a fictional work or in of itself as a hobby. While worldbuilding can occur in any genre, it is particularly noticeable in the science fiction, fantasy, or horror genres. The most famous example of worldbuilding is Tolkien's Middle-earth. The earliest example of worldbuilding as a word comes from 1805 and came to be used to describe fictional works by the late 19th century.https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/what-is-world-building
Both professional writers and fanfic writers use the term worldbuilding. In fanfic, the term is especially applicable to writing AUs. However, canon-compliant stories may also involve worldbuilding if the writer examines gaps in canon, sets their story in the future or past, or expands upon world content not elaborated on in canon.
== Defintion ==
The Worldbuilding Exchange defines fannish worldbuilding like so:
== Purpose ==
For some fans, worldbuilding for canon is the main reason to write or read fanfiction:
==Canon==
(may involve close reading and analysis)
===Post-Canon===
(Death of the Author, extra info, clarification, JKR)
==Fanon==
For many fans, worldbuilding in their fanworks is a mixture of both love and frustration. This is especially true for the Naruto fandom, where just establishing a solid timeline of events is practically impossible. Silver Queen, author of the long-running SI OC fic Dreaming of Sunshine, has often been praised for the worldbuilding in her work. She's said:
She's also described worldbuilding as a way to "explain the irregularities we see on the screen", following canon information to its logical conclusion, asking herself "Why is this thing where it is, why is it what it is?" when trying to fill in details about Naruto's setting.Sarasa2016, Interview with Silver Queen. Posted 23 Aug 2015. (Accessed 11 July 2018.)
Other fandoms with large amounts of worldbuilding include Harry Potter, Teen Wolf, The Hobbit (and other Tolkien fandoms), and Boku No Hero Academia.

Worldbuilding Exchange

The Worldbuilding Exchange is for worldbuilding-focused fanworks (both fic and art). It first ran in 2017, with matching done through AO3, where the collection is archived. The exchange runs from January–March. The final round ran in 2022.The announcement that the 2022 round would be the final one appeared in the post "2022 schedule and an announcement" (30 December 2021). However, a different mod stepped up to continue the exchange as a spiritual successor under the same name. "Absolutely thrilled to be able to announce that worldbuilding_exchange will be running next year, picking up where worldbuildingex left off." (Nov. 9th, 2022).
For main gifts, participants were expected to create one fanwork, which could be any of the following (depending on the requests they matched to): a story at least 1000 words long; a finished piece of art with a total size of 400K+ pixels; or at least 1000 words of in-universe meta (e.g. "fictional encyclopedia entries, newspaper articles, propaganda pamphlets, textbooks, etc. etc.").
In addition to nominating characters for each fandom, people were required to nominate "worldbuilding tags". (Because of the limitations of the AO3 matching algorithm, these were nominated in the Relationship field; as a result, pairing nominations were not possible.) For their assignments, participants were then matched on one or more character tag and one or more worldbuilding tag (i.e. "OR" matching).
Treats are encouraged, and may be added to the AO3 collection any time up until creators are revealed. Creators do not have to be signed up for the exchange to give treats.Treats policy in the 2017 exchange; treats policy in the 2018 exchange.
The organisers of the original Worldbuilding Exchange, which ran from 2017 to 2022, have since retired their event. These exchanges can all be found in this AO3 collection. From 2023 onwards, new organisers are running a successor event which can be found here on AO3.
==2017==
In the 2017 exchange, a total of 75 works were created, covering 48 fandoms.

Worldcon/1940

<splist parent="Worldcon" showparent="no" sort="asc" sortby="title" liststyle="bar" showpath="notparent" kidsonly="no" debug="0" />
The 1940 Worldcon, also known as Chicon I, was the second ever Worldcon. Attendance is noted as 128 by the Wikipedia article, while Bob Tucker elaborated: 
The convention was chaired by Mark Reinsberg with Erle Korshak (secretary) and Bob Tucker (treasurer) as equal partners. It was organized by fans Russ Hodgkins, T. Bruce Yerke, and Walt Daugherty. The GOH was E. E. "Doc" Smith.Denver fans Olon F. Wiggins and Lew Martin (ages 20 and 17) climbed onto a freight train and travelled 30 hours by boxcar to reach the con. There they were able to put in a successful bid to host the next con in Denver.Olon F. Wiggins/Lew Martin: Via Freight Train: A Martin Odyssey (pt. 3). The Science Fiction Fan #56, pp. 3-10. April 1941. 
== Planning ==
Chicago was first pitched as a site by Mark Reinsberg, Executive Director of the Illini Fantasy Fictioneers. (See In 1940 -- It's Chicago!) Bob Tucker, director of the IFF, wrote later:
The New Fandom/Futurians feud was so intense at the time that, according to Tucker, Reinsberg didn't want him sitting with the Futurians at the Philadelphia Conference of 1939 for fear it would jeopardize the IFF's offer to host the next Worldcon.Bob Tucker: The First Chicon, pg. 4.Tau Ceti Reprints no. 2, May 1965. However, by March 1940, New Fandom was on the attack anyway. In March, the IFF wrote an open letter to Sam Moskowitz and William Sykora, repudiating claims made in Fantasy-News that they'd rejected New Fandom's offer to help out financially. They pointed out that their own budget hadn't been published yet, that their advance estimates were far below New Fandom's printed figures, and that the only help they'd asked of other organizations was in memberships, publicity and attendance. If the IFF needed financial help, it would be asked equally from every fan organization. They also pointed out that there was no reason for New Fandom to be underwriting costs at all, since no members of the "inner circle" of New Fandom or the Queens Science Fiction League had ever joined the IFF.Bob Tucker, Mark Reinsberg, Sully Roberds and Erle Korshak: A Statement of Policy. Fantasy Fictioneer, #3 pg. 4. March 1940.

"Amen!" added editor Bob Tucker.

Tarr later commented that Cyril Kornbluth had hotfooted as many people at the con as he could manage, excluding only Ross Rocklynne and E.E. Smith.Dale Tarr: Things I Saw and Heard There. Le Zombie, issue 34 pg. 6. (November 1940)

Worldcon/1941

Worldcon 1941, also called Denvention I, was held in Denver Colorado. Because of World War II, it was the last Worldcon held until 1946.
The con chair was Olon Wiggins, and the Guest of Honor was Robert Heinlein. The Lost World was screened. Attendance was low - the official number is 90, however it is in dispute:
Claude Degler delivered a speech at Denvention called Remember the Martians! He claimed it had been written by Martians, and was believed at the time to be joking, but fans would later discover he was entirely serious.
An apazine, The Denventioneer, was produced four months before the con, collecting articles representing a number of established fanzines, including Voice of the Imagi-Nation, The Comet and Fantasite.
== Reports ==
=== Forrest J Ackerman ===
Forrest J Ackerman wrote an extensive con report in his letterzine Voice of the Imagi-Nation, using his characteristic simplified spelling:
=== Rusty Hevelin ===
According to Hevelin, Joe Fortier made the pitch for San Francisco as the 1942 Worldcon site. Milton A. Rothman pitched Washington. Walt Daugherty then successfully won a 2/3 majority vote for Los Angeles. Hevelin reported "considerable ill-feeling" from some of the majority who wanted another East Coast con.
=== E.E. Evans ===
=== Robert A. Madle ===
Robert A. Madle reported that after an evening of drinking, he came back to the hotel and encountered some of the Futurians, drunk and "set upon beating someone up", although he was accompanied by other fans so nothing came of the meeting.
