'''Conworlding''', also called worldbuilding, is the process of constructing an imaginary [[:Category:Constructed worlds|world]], sometimes associated with a whole fictional universe. The resulting world may be called a constructed world or a conworld. The term "worldbuilding" was popularized at science fiction writers' workshops in the 1970s. Developing an imaginary setting with coherent qualities such as a [[:Category:History|history]], [[:Category:Geography|geography]], and ecology is a key task for many science fiction or fantasy writers. Worldbuilding often involves the creation of [[:Category:Maps|maps]], a backstory, and [[:Category:People|people]] for the world. Constructed worlds can enrich the backstory and history of fictional works, and it is not uncommon for authors to revise their constructed worlds while completing its [[:Category:Projects|associated work]]. Constructed worlds can be created for personal amusement and mental exercise, or for specific creative endeavors such as novels, video games, or role-playing games.
