Yep. He hunts local outlaws and everyone thinks he’s cool, but he doesn’t really do much

#AwesomeCharacters Kestrel and Scar probably have too many, so I'll answer for the Bayfalls instead.

Arthur's nemesis is a local knight called Sir Robert of Fettes, who looks down on him as a fake knight. Don't call him "Bob".

#Bookvember I'm Andy. I write pulpy historical adventures.

I guess my writing journey started when was 17 and my brother gave me some RPG sourcebooks. I was interested in the world but didn't have a group to run them with, so I started writing fan fiction in those settings.

When I heard this in Stranger Things, I was half expecting Jurassic Express to show up and yeet those bullies out of the roller rink.

Kestrel had a fling with the daughter of a magistrate who was engaged to someone else.

When she became pregnant, the engagement was broken off, she disappeared, and Kestrel had to leave to avoid retribution from her father. He had to put an ocean between them.

#PlotTober I certainly got some ideas for my #FirstDraftFall project.

#WeeknightWriters Aye! I really want to see how it plays out.

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters When the pirate ship Albatross is shipwrecked on Crab Island, first mate Isiah Kestrel finds himself hunted by ruthless plantation owner Sir Beckford Drax. He meets escaped slave Jacob Scar, and they devise a way off the island, finding a lasting partnership.

#WeeknightWriters Yeah, that's the worst thing about the time zone changes. They really mess with my online sessions.

Thanks. Still not much luck with the job front, but I've got a family holiday next month.

Figured a change of scenery would help.

#WeeknightWriters On my Discord, it says it starts at 11:00 pm for me. But the clocks did go back for me last weekend.

But I'll certainly be around for a thing like that.

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall I might start at midnight.

I don't have much planned for Halloween but I'll certainly do the Hemingway thing.

#FirstDraftFall #WeeknightWriters Most probably.

I'll certainly treat myself to a takeaway if I finish the draft.

#WeeknightWriters #FirstDraftFall Honestly, same.

Probably not 50k though. Maybe half that.

#WeeknightWriters I'm just hoping the words will flow, what with everything else going on in my life.

Nice!

Got that song in my head now, but there's worse ones to have stuck in there.

Yep. I've got a more solid idea about the beginning, and will figure it out from there.

30.10.2025 23:07 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Aye. I've largely plantsed the beginning, and seeing where I go from there.

#WeeknightWriters Hi, I'm Andy. I'm working on a Kestrel and Scar prequel story for First Draft Fall, and planning has slowed down. Mostly trying to figure out the middle.

Apparently there's some American government departments using imagery from the Halo series to promote ICE.

I'm just gonna share this old teaser for the sadly unreleased TimeSplitters 4: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G7t...

My setting "Misadventures in Planaterra" was inspired by Nodwick.
