This is my #WIPSnips for "Impede". It's a hard one for my stories but I do describe the forest of this island like a prison.

#Raven+Bear is inspired by Welsh history with this referencing the druids of Ynys MΓ΄n. It's very spooky, hope y'all enjoy!

Yeah, I think I'm just used to him being slightly mournful.

I look at Sir Corbyn being happy like a clown at a funeral.

I am happy to say, that part 2 of The Lake Hopper is done!

I feel a conflicted about it, I think it's definitely one of the sillier and less serious moments but my partner loves it.

I'll post it here, if y'all think it's alright then let me know.

Women want one thing*, and it's disgusting.

*Adorable and whimsical short stories following the adventures of a recently adopted Princess Ata. Who accompanies Sir Corbyn on quests through a post-apocalyptic Wales, in the hopes of one day becoming a knight herself.

A 52 year old knight from a post-apocalyptic Wales, who amazing surrogate father to a child he saved.

This excerpt is from my WIP, The Lake Hopper. Yes, there's a polycule who are all down-bad for this old man. Let him live!

A white stoat wearing an elegant tweed suit with a red vest. He holds a lantern out, autumn leaves swirling at his ankles, while an banner flutters over his head that reads "Unclench your jaw."

The beauty of #Raven+Bear being is that I can have months pass between each adventure. I intend to have many characters from old stories pop back up.

The cutest set up I have for this comes from my second story Proof Heraldic, where Nim is mentioned.

I've not outlined or planned anything for #Raven+Bear.

Though I'm cheating because they're short stories in a collection rather than one continuous work.

It's a lot easier to stick with an idea the shorter the story is.

I do feel like I struck gold though.

Thank you, their dynamic is genuinely so fun to write. The whole story is on youtube as well so please check it out if you like them. The whole collection is just about this pair.

So, #Raven+Bear is a collection of short stories following the quests of a knight (Sir Corbyn) and his page (Ata) through the kingdoms of Cambria (Post-Apocalyptic Wales). It's got a similar vibe to The Last of Us or The Witcher but like 30% more wholesome. Closer to Nimona or Hilda in tone.

System - Order - Knightly Order (I know I'm stretching).
🏰
This #WIPSnips is an excerpt from Proof Heraldic which you can listen to on youtube. This story delves into the history of the Order of Branwen as Ata learns more of Cambria's tragic past.

I hope you enjoy it!

A surrogate parent / child trope. This trope often has the parent reject the child like Joel (TLoU) or Geralt (Witcher). They lash out until their own trauma is reconciled later.

My approach for Sir Corbyn & Ata differs. Excerpt from The Knightbane's Prize (first story in #Raven+Bear).

Also let me be frank, I feel like a little more setting description somewhere would have helped but I'm talking like two or three more phrases. When I said I read stuff lacking it I mean they had nothing! So genuinely Wolffie, your story was amazing!

Yeah setting is tricky. I think honestly, less can be more so long as there isn't none. It's like set design for different scenes of a play, the same as character descriptions being costumes for the actors. If I do a long description it's usually because something in the setting is weird.

To answer @justalowkeygamer.bsky.social, the whole mushroom town bit is hilarious. But I love their hats because they let kids decorate them so they feel helpful.

It ties in very nicely with this story's theme. If you're intrigued I recommend catching up on the stories I have out (link in bio).

I had too much to say about this for the small snippet I read and all of it was good. Genuinely thankful I decided to dive headlong into @autumnwolff.bsky.social's story.

Hark my knights!

Having food in my stories creates a cosy atmosphere! At its core, #Raven+Bear is a whimsical and comforting collection.

Hilda, Dungeon Meshi and Frieren are good comparisons.

I love this scene! Sir Corbyn is such a good dad!
