Hello Returning Visitors!
I hope you're doing well. ๐
Our most recent TFS: Book Two alpha drop was only a few days ago, but I'm eager to get into our upcoming content for October. My gosh, this month is packed and stacked, full of festive fall fun.
(Surprisingly, it's easy to say that^ phrase four times fast.)
Our writings are festively themed! 'Happy Haunts' features A. Corvin, their much more cautious sibling, the reckless Verner heir, and you engaging in urban exploring around Fernweh. Some places are best left undisturbed, especially in this eerie, small town. ๐ป Our other writing is 'Bloodletting', which is a dark, vampire AU I've been working on for many days! There are newcomers in town who have a distinctly different appetite than the townsfolk, although this story focuses on how your romance with R. Verner takes a turn. It will be both a trick and a treat for you due to its length alongside its themes. ๐ฉธ Because of this, Evergreens and Hickories will be receiving a part two to serve as a spicy Author's Choice. The complete piece will be about 10k, if not longer, but each section is lengthy in honor of it being October. (I'm still wrapping it up. ๐)
Beyond the writings, our content has spooky vibes throughout! ๐ This includes posts about the characters' preferred Halloween costumes to their favorite horror films (if any) in addition to a pic that relates to R's black cat. We'll have a festive quiz to determine how you'd spend your autumn/Halloween in town, except it draws on slasher hallmarks, Fernweh lore, horror tropes, and shares character details to make it even more fun (also a little creepy, but mostly fun). ๐ช To balance out this, I included the long-awaited post about Mrs. Corvin's warning and a detail about J's truck.
October features B. Warrick's birthday! ๐งก๐ There will be a post dedicated to them encompassing reactions, questions/answers, Book Two teasers, and more to celebrate Bee.
Our Author's View is going to remain that pleading face emoji until I narrow it down further.
You'll notice that our alpha drop is likely going to be released a day early! ๐ฒ This is because of any Halloween celebration you might have planned and Dragon Age: Veilguard releasing. The drop's eerie content is perfect for this time of yearโooh, playing it at night. I'll see how things go.
Hopefully, this Content Schedule gives you lots to look forward to.
>Reminder: Please be sure to see this post about adding my email address to your contacts so you can enjoy the RO character portraits. I try to make contact within 48 hours of a pledge; the spam folder can be dastardly.<
Once again I'm including an attachment of October's Content Schedule as an image file, and it is displayed above in addition to the typed out dates/content.

As always, let me know if you have any questions! Thank you for your support. ๐ฅฐ

-Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #1: ๐ฆ
Heed Mrs. Corvin's advice about the roads you'll travel down in Fernweh, although doesn't it seem a little pointed? I wonder what this variation might spell for a certain romance route.
October 7th
-TFS Q&A Session
Question: "What would the ROs dress up as for Halloween?"
October 9th
-MBC 1: Happy Haunts ๐ป
Exploring abandoned places around Fernweh doesn't seem like a very good idea, but it's hard to say 'no' to A. Corvin. At least you won't be alone with R and J along for the ride.
October 11th
-Surprise 1: R's Cat Inspo and a Teaser ๐
A picture of my cat, possibly two because one is more ~aesthetic~ for Halloween, along with a teaser.
October 13th
-TFS Q&A Session (๐ฒ๐)
I'm not going to tease the question because I know some of you will react to it later. I might do a series of short answers in this one though, similar to a compilation of quick questions.

-Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #2: ROs Fave Horror Film
Naturally, there will be double-meanings in a few of these. See if your tastes align with your beloved(s). Alternatively, if you'll be cuddling them instead of watching what's on the screen.
October 17th
-Happy Birthday B. Warrick! ๐งก๐
A post celebrating the most loyal Visitor. It includes questions/answers, reactions, and Book Two teasers.

-Extended Progress Update
October 21st
(Two versions)
-MBC 2: Bloodletting ๐ฉธ
-MBC 2: Bloodletting ๐ฉธ [Part 1] (๐ฒ๐)
A lengthy writing set in a dark, vampire alternate universe that still incorporates TFS's base lore. Oscillate between past and present via flashbacks, learning what befell the town and your friends. Your romance with R. Verner is a guiding thread (or the final nail in the coffin) through this piece, but it has multiple characters, locations, and moods throughout it.
October 24th
-Surprise 2: Fernweh in Fall Quiz! ๐ช๐
A fun quiz relating to how you'll spend your autumn in town!
October 26th
-Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #3: J's Truck
A small detail that has larger implications about J's character if we consider other in-text mentions from Trent, R (particularly while on the JR route), and B! ๐ Those of you who visited the Old Hunting Lodge had more time with J's 'hand-me-down' truck. It will come up again for those in romance with them (solo or poly) and their besties at the Corvin dinner.

-Author's Choice: Bloodletting ๐ฉธ [Part 2] (๐ฒ๐) [Spicy] ๐ฅ
Knowing myself, I'll probably leave [Part 1] on a cliffhanger or a dramatic moment, so if you're reading this far down on our Content Schedule: sorry. ๐ There's so much in this piece, I don't want to spoil it. Even for a slow-build, well-earned angst fiend like myself, it's angsty.

-Author's View: ๐ฅบ
I'm still narrowing down our next topic down from that list I mentioned. Given where I should be at the outline, I might be able to share some Rosie interactions, possibly even Marjorie.
