Extended Progress Update: 25 April 2025

Hi Returning Visitors,

Key highlights of this update and reminders:

  • Blink twice if you think I'm being held hostage (affectionate) by Marjorie's section.

  • Oh, you blinked! 😎 (I'm joking though; it's locked in here with me.)

  • Working like a busy bee on this ever-growing section; however, I did knock out more of its branches/variance. I'm eager to share more! I'll be touching on a specifics relating to B and some View Post

TFS Q&A Session (πŸŒ²πŸ‚)

[Alternate Text: A picture of a dark and mysterious forest.]

Hi Evergreen and Hickory Patrons! πŸŒ²πŸ‚

Here's a question that I know a few of you have been wondering about.

Did A. Corvin also write letters to the Returning Visitor?

This depends on your dynamic with them! It comes in the series. Here are few thoughts (angst) on it, and you can imagine as you ...

Author's View: Technicolor Tapestry

Hello Hickory Patrons! πŸ‚

Our Author's View is releasing ahead of schedule because it's taking on a different form that I'm sincerely excited to share with you all. First, I'll be sharing a few snippets of what I've been working on/coding recently, but the main thrust of this post is a link. You'll find a link to a uQuiz in the post.

Before we get into how you'll be influencing upcoming content, I wanted to share some of my recent writing.

Mrs. Dorran's Art Gallery Reveal! 🎨

Hi Evergreens and Hickories!

I hope you're all doing well. πŸ’š

I'm eager to reveal the art piece that was voted on by Hickories!

Another wonderful commission from the ever talented Three! This particular art piece features Sofia Dorran. I love the details on her denim jacket and her dyed hair; plus, it has a reference to Book Two in its background. Thank you again! πŸ₯°

Birthday Blues (James Version)

[Alternate Text: A header image of a forested road after a rain shower. The asphalt still glistens with water and the trees along the road seem darker, possibly saturated.

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #2: Surprised Pikachu 🫨

[Alternate Text: The iconic surprised pikachu meme that features pikachu being shocked/stunned by something. The meme says: C. Schade: 'flirts (?) with the MC' and then has the Returning Visitor's reaction being the meme.]

Author's Choice: Triage (James Version)


[Alternate Text: A somewhat murky header image of an unsettling root structure that has several tendrils and offshoots from the thicker roots; it's a branching mess of limbs. It appears dusk out, but the vegetation is oddly lit by a red light. The title is difficult to discern, a smear of burgundy around its letters; it reads: 'Triage' in a font that's all hard edges, almost stake-like.]

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #1: A Fivesome…? πŸ€”πŸ”₯

Hi Evergreen and Hickory Patrons! πŸŒ²πŸ‚

No, the title isn't clickbait, but sometimes the Returning Visitor doesn't know when to quit. It's something they might wish to learn while around Mal!

(Although, Mal being angry might entice a few of you. πŸ₯΄)

Birthday Blues (Returning Visitor)

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #3: Forgiveness

Well, I had a specific GIF in mind for this, but searching 'grudge' made me remember that's a horror movie entity. >.> (She didn't startle me too badly!) I couldn't find the funny GIF though, but it's of a lady saying she tends to her grudges like they're flowers in her garden. 🌹

Forgiveness comes up as a theme in TFS. This series is intentionally rooted in tragedy, not just your Returning Visitor's backstory, but its characters and context.

Extended Progress Update: 21 March 2025

Hi Returning Visitors,

Key highlights of this update and reminders:

  • Honesty is the best policy!

  • Marjorie's 'section' is in fact several, varied sections in a sunflower patterned trench coat all wobbling about while I imagine tripping it. 😌

  • I'm enjoying it! The word count for this chapter has soared beyond what I had expected because of the unique scenes I'm adding for replays.

  • Tentatively planning out April's Patreon content....

[Spicy πŸ”₯] Author's Choice: Beggars Can't Be Choosers

Question: How would Becca beg for the MC? On the flip side, what about Mal? I use the same MC for both, but I just know they're different.

Answer:

I'll answer for both of them! There's an interesting contrast between them that will come up in the series; we've already seen Mal's takes on your dear friend. Facts, narrative facts, and then longer narrative snippets, oh my. 🦁
