R-mancers in particular have a better chance of catching passing comments about R's bond with Milton Callaway—from an inkling of guilt during the night drive scenes to R's conversation with Mr. Callaway during the memorium to how R actually joined the search ef...

This truly is a 'surprise', isn't it? 😌 There was no mention of this on August's Content Schedule.
I'm excited to share this quiz about how your Returning Visitor might spend their summer in Fernweh. We've seen glimpses in our writings along with hints based on what we've learned of the characters hobbies/passions/preferences. This is a personality quiz rathe...

Hello Returning Visitors!
I hope you're doing well. 💚
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 August.
Summer continues to beat down on many of us, but I've left heat out of most of our writings aside from the spicy posts. 🔥 'Not a White Christmas' might bring to mind those Christmas in July, er, sometimes August, sales that reta...

Hi Hickory Patrons! 🍂
I hope you're doing well.
This Author's View will dovetail nicely with our Book Two alpha content drop at the end of this month. Within the content, the topic of what you witnessed at Turn the Page with Milton Callaway will be brought up which encourages the rest of the gang being informed. But you'll need a venue for that meeting; one in particular comes to mind that we haven't see...
2024-07-30 12:30:02 +0000 UTC View PostIn TFS: Book One, there are a few minor references to Dragon Age video games! Mainly in the form of a surname choice for the Returning Visitor (Amell) and then later on the mention of 'elfroot' if the MC remembers a childhood play date with J. Corvin. I tend to associate these DA nods with J because of the adventures (aka 'quests') the two of you had around the Corvin farm. Mrs. Corvin used to assign them to you both as a creative way t...

I wanted to revisit a setting that features quite frequently in the Returning Visitor's (off-screen or off-page) nightmares following the events of Book One: the sunken clearing.
This is a clearing all of you have endured at least once, if not multiple times, to complete the first book's story. There is more to it than meets the eye (besides the corrupted spriggan seemingly waiting there for you 😃). Part of its description is below to serve as a refresher!

This post ties into a TFS Patreon poll we had earlier this month where you all voted on which character to learn more about in an ~aesthetic~ sense. Mr. Verner won! 🖤 We'll be getting into my character reference document for him that's full of reference images, descriptions, and teasers. As always, it's up to you if you wish to use these to better visualize the characters alongside the tex...
