Generating fantasy maps
These are some notes on how I generate the maps for my Twitter bot @unchartedatlas, which is based on a generator I originally produced during NaNoGenMo 2015. There's JavaScript code for the generator on Github here, and the original messy Python generator code can be seen here. You may also be interested in this companion piece, which describes the placename generation.

This Is the World’s Largest Dump Truck
The world’s largest dump truck has rumbled to life at a Siberian open-pit coal mine after just two years in development. The truck can carry 500 metric tons of dirt—the equivalent of “seven fueled and loaded Airbus A320-200 planes,” the engineering company Siemens says—in its gargantuan bed. The BelAZ 75710 dump truck, as it’s known, tops out at about 40 miles per hour—when its bed is empty.
YA Twitter's Victims And Critics Speak Out, Part 1
The world of young-adult-fiction Twitter, or YA Twitter, is a very intense place, prone to constant callouts and opinion-policing, particularly on matters of identity and social justice.
