i make morlequariat and also sometimes other stuff
Anyone else have the issue of 'oh boy, I'm gonna create some form of documentation for my ocs/world' and then you end up with a notion doc, google doc, obsidian folder, plain text folder, slideshow, and like 3 other formats none of which are actually complete and all contain snippets of the information you're trying to convey
the sheer amount of lore that i have stored in untitled txt files on my old laptop...
we just need some new kind of unifying standard that'll bring them all together and definitely won't fragment things even further! have you tried writing in cuneiform?
Seriously it reminded me of the trouble i had when trying to write an overview of my life (not a full autobiography, just general lore dump as part of homework on a therapy-adjacent workshop - similar enough to how one would write OC lore).
And just... Couldn't decide whether to go chronologically (year to year) or go by themes (home life, school life, relationships, creative development etc.) - neither of them could feel right.
It's really hard to write down facts about a person in a linear fashion.
Hypertext is way more suited for that, so linked articles similar to a wiki format comes to mind as a somewhat ready to use solution that'd work (better than manually creating a bunch of linked documents, as wiki-like engine would help with reorganising pages as the knowledge base grows).
I think I'm gonna give obsidian a try again, for that, just chip away at it gradually
