It’s no surprise that we love gaming blogs around here, which means we’re also big fans of the blogging community initiative that is Tales of the Aggronaut’s annual Blaugust challenge. So with all of that in mind, it should be no surprise that we’re going to help play the heralding trumpets and announce that Blaugust is coming back for its 11th year in 2024.
This year’s challenge is pretty much the same as years past, though fellow blogger and event runner Belghast is quick to point out that “Blaugust at its heart has always been about celebrating the creation of content on a regular schedule,” so different medals are awarded to those who participate for completing certain regular posting milestones – even if it’s just as simple as signing up. There are even Blaugchievements to earn for doing things like getting a friend to join in or sharing posts or helping a fellow writer out.
As for signing up, that’s done through a Google Doc, though potential writers are also encouraged to use a #Blaugust2024 hashtag when sharing their posts and are invited to join a community Discord and follow a Mastodon account for the event. There are also lots of ideas for weekly prompts and other inspiration sources, so new and existing bloggers should definitely read up on the whole shebang. Happy blogging!
