@Anchorite I might make a few stories in my project, but I have a project I created for the sake of worldbuilding as well (you should be able to find it in s/art). It started out as an excuse for making my own knockoff SCPs and the biotech and retrofuturism aspects just came from me thinking they would make a cool mix. I can't draw so it's all text, but I might practice to eventually make some things to upload here. I'm interested in seeing what else you'll make. The CBB forum looks nest though, I might upload my project there. Do you know any other good sites to upload worldbuilding projects?

@The_Jackal The CBB is an excellent place for your work. My username there is lurker, an ironic name given nearly 1% of this 15-year old forum's content is mine and I only joined 2 years ago. Like I said, ADHD hyperfixation. I also post frequently on a worldbuilding community on Lemmy (fediverse Reddit clone), but other than myself people seldom post there, or maybe I post too much lol. Lemmy as a whole is a profoundly unpleasant place IMO, but that specific worldbuilding community isn't half bad other than the lack of content.

@Anchorite That sounds nice, but I'm not sure if I'll use the Fediverse. I don't know if I plan on really 'publishing' my project and related things, but I wonder how it would be putting it somewhere where people could make contributions. I don't want it anywhere on Archive of Our own or something similar though.

@The_Jackal The CBB is an excellent place for you to get comments on your work. I know it's the CONLANG bulletin board but your world need not include conlangs to be posted there. And if you are interested in learning about language construction there are plenty of people willing to help.
Traditional forums are a much better format for this sort of thing. You can make a single megathread and post under that, and others can comment. Here everything I post floods everyone's feed and people will eventually get sick of it I'm sure.

@Anchorite I'm considering making an account there. I also left a couple more comments explaining how I intend for the beasts to be under my Kovechir post as well.
Original Post
Vulpithecus fidelis, AKA the monkey fox, an arboreal quadruped with a prehensile tail, and the only other creature besides humans known to have achieved sapience. They've only been around as long as modern humans, but they evolved a written language directly from a scent-marking behavior rather than inventing writing much later to record spoken language. This innate literacy allowed them to reach level II on the Kardashev scale millennia before humans discovered agriculture.
