Not many can say that they have ever seen a Mummyloompa, for they are very hard to find. But, in the depths of Alton Towers, underneath the Moo Milkshake Cafe, some may see a glimpse of one.

The first Mummyloompa was discovered in 1979, by a man called John Broome, he then decided that he was going to create Alton Towers in honour of her and that is where she has lived ever since.

Mummyloompas are very (not) competitive with other Mummyloompas and there have been (no) various incidents involving Mummyloompas killing each other, (not) hence the three quarters of a Mummyloompa. Mummyloompas are not good household pets as they have a tendency to/will kill your children if they get better results than theirs, that is why many who do have them as pets keep them in cages.

A Mummyloompa’s diet consists of chocolate milkshakes, salad, pho, coffee and occasionally some red wine. DO NOT feed a Mummyloompa milkshakes that are not from the Moo Milkshake Cafe, as it will kill you.

Mummyloompas are marvellous creatures, with very good hearing. If you do ever see one, be sure not to do anything naughty as it will send you to your room and maybe ground you, but that is just part of the charming nature of a Mummyloompa.

Mummyloompas have been described as adorable and after researching the animal, I can confirm that. The Mummyloompa has green skin, half-shaved brunette hair, a long curling beard that almost reaches the floor and leaps around on all-fours.

Mummyloompas are part of a native group called the Loompas and are also related to the Oompaloompas, they were fiercer than them though and Willy Wonka could not convince them to, in his own words, ‘Come with me and see a world of pure imagination’.

A Mummyloompa gets her main source of exercise from doing squats wherever she can. That is why Mummyloompas have such bulging thighs and often complain from back pain.

Mummyloompas are very loving creatures to their children, very overprotective though, and have very very very very high expectations, for example, trying to correct grammar and spelling in this very fact file.
Mummyloompas have been described as having a very fruity taste with some fishy notes, they have also been described as being poisonous, well, actually they haven’t, but there was really no-one to explain that.

If you do want to have a pet Mummyloompa, I recommend going to Alton Towers and shouting ‘MUM I GOT BAD EXAM RESULTS!’ then one will probably come out.

Good luck on your journey of finding a Mummyloompa!

I love how specific the lifespan is!!! XD

Part One: Rules in Valdonia may seem tough, but we have them for a reason. About twenty years ago, there was revolt. It was because of a new rule made, telling people that they could no longer use their magic. People went crazy, killing members of parliament, blowing up buildings, so many lives were lost that year, yet they still kept the rule.It was because when the world had magic, people thought they had more power than others, they showed off, they did dangerous things, they thought they were better than anyone else. Not everyone in Valdonia has magic, that was part of the problem, they were jealous, they started to get violent, they didn’t have magic but they did have weapons. There was a war, hence the new rule. Those who are caught using magic in Valdonia get locked away in the Surdon. Rumour has it they are kept in a little cage with little to no food and water. People who do come back from the Surdon never recover, skin flaps off of their cheeks, bodies bony and skin almost transparent. Some think that they curse them in the Surdon, so that if they don’t die, they live a terrible life. It may sound horrible, but it stops people from using magic, so it is a good thing to do in a way. It saves us all. Of course there are other rules in Valdonia, but none as important as the ‘no magic’ one. Rules here are still strict, just not as strict as it. We live a uniform life, no questioning what parliament does, no resisting, no revolts. In return for following these rules, we live a relatively happy life, as happy as you are allowed to be that is. You see, sometimes we do wonder what life would be like with magic, so much easier, so much more fun. You could cook food without using your hands, you could zap toads, more importantly, you could save lives. I don’t know why parliament doesn’t let us use magic for medicinal purposes, but I am not going to question it, parliament should not be questioned. That is one of the rules. A very important rule that is, we should not bite the hand that feeds us. Parliament does not deserve to be questioned, I trust them, they have been here for me for my whole life, indirectly anyways. That is why I always follow the rules.

Part Three: For a world to be really convincing, you should remember to feature the mundane of life as well as the excitement. Fill out this interview format as though a publisher who had not already ready your story was discussing your book with you.

Don’t worry if you find out you’re just making your answers up on the spot – that’s still good progress towards creating a life-like world. It’s also okay if your answers to some of these is simply ‘no!’ I don’t have answers to all these questions yet with my own story, either. It’s all a part of the creative process and finding out what works for you and your narrative.

(This questionnaire was designed with fantasy worlds in mind, but it would totally work for real-fi books too!)

(note from alba: no, I’m not kidding with this question. everywhere has its own memes. everywhere. there are big cultural memes that everyone knows, memes within clubs and groups, and memes between friends. if you take one thing from this entire weekly, give your world its own memes. do it.)
