#Raven+Bear are hopeful stories.
They show a Wales which flourished independently.
Part of that is the inclusion of queer people.
Each story has a trans character, some royal & others nomads.
If you need a reprieve, my stories are there.

"SIR CORBYN HAS *RGY WITH GENDER-QUEER POLYCULE!"
Yeah, I've made him suffer enough, he gets to have some fun in The Lake Hopper. This is such a silly little part of the story. Mostly inspired by my partner desperately wanting him to get laid.

Chronic pain is a rigged game for writers. Act cheerful and its fake. Don't and they hate that too. Either way you don't get read.

Edited most of Caer y Môn, got two pages left.
So, #Raven+Bear is progressing nicely I've just got a lot of other stuff on my back at the minute contributing to burnout.
If you don't love Ata already by the way, you better prepare to.
Guess who's learning to read!

So I'm hearing people are pirating from indie authors.
People are upset, which is very valid and they're making a lot of great points. That's not necessarily what I want to add.
I feel like something is indicated by how entitled they feel and how dismissive they are to people's criticism.

Too sleepy to answer in depth but here goes.
#Raven+Bear has so many themes of stewardship, with Sir Corbyn's order sharing an island with a druidic cult. These druids test newcomers to ensure they respect the dangers of nature & Ata has surpassed this test by age ten.

If you want stories, you need writers. To have writers, people who write need food, shelter, medicine and time to pick up a quill.

I'm lucky enough not to need your money, instead give it to writers who do and make me some fanart to cry about to my partners.

Yeah, s*x is cool, but you have you ever seen a story with the surrogate parent / child trope (Joel+Ellie TLoU; Geralt+Ciri The Witcher) where the parent isn't an *sshole to the kid initially?

I mean #Raven+Bear is a collection of short stories so each one has our gallant Sir Corbyn facing a different monsters with the help of Princess Ata. However, if we consider my current #WIP for it. Well, its title offers a hint: "The Lake Hopper".

Hey guys, I just realised I hit 200 followers!
I can't imagine why you all want to follow a crazy Welsh lady with no clue where she's going, but I'm glad to have the company.
Sincerely, thank you! As far as I am concerned, you are all the knights of Branwen and I'm so proud to be your meagre bard!

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 Môn. It's very spooky, hope y'all enjoy!

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.

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).
