@marrenvale.co.ukDay one is done. Thank you everyone who shared, liked, and showed any love for the Lockwoods. Now I have the Mac back I'll be working on the Discord, so hopefully that will be ready to share by the end of the week. New chapters will be posted every day at 3pm.
@marrenvale.co.ukSupport the Lockwoods, and have your name added to the thank you list (if you wish, or you can remain anonymous. The first financial goal is £375, with October's goal being one third - £125. Goal one covers current storage fees, as everything I own is there right now.
@marrenvale.co.uk'Rather than let her go I’d killed us both, but I’d, as hard as it was to admit, lost control of the ritual. The price I paid was the possibility I’d lost her for good… which was going to happen even if she did remember.'
Chapter one of Thaddeus's Plan 1305, originally the Main Arc.
@marrenvale.co.ukThe Lockwoods is written entirely without Generative AI, and always will be. Every arc is my own creation. Originally it did start as SimsLit, but then gained a life of its own, leading us to what it's become now - the stories of the multiverse of Marren Vale (and Taliesin).
@marrenvale.co.uk'Slowly, thoughtfully, Emory looked at me, then at Anne, a flicker of interest in his eyes, which at least meant he also knew the history. “I hope the morning will bring with it a chance for us to all properly get to know each other.”'
Thaddeus's Plan 1305 chapter one (the Main Arc).
@marrenvale.co.ukI readily admit I have a favourite when writing the Lockwoods: Titus. That's not likely to change, and there will be more versions, which I won't apologise for. However there are also going to be more arcs from different Marren Vales, with more of Anne's protectors.
@marrenvale.co.uk'Even though there was no longer a Council, that fell apart a lifetime after our deaths, there were still Greater families, and the Lockwoods had remained one. Somehow.'
Chapter one of Thaddeus's Plan 1305, originally the Main Arc.
@marrenvale.co.ukIf you enjoy the Lockwoods please share your favourite arcs. Although I don't really have any social media goals, I'm at a far higher follower number than I thought possible, I'd love to have more readers at the website. My dream is to earn a living from my original fiction.
@marrenvale.co.uk'She smiled, her eyes meeting with mine when I span her, showing skills I doubted she thought I had. Papa was the one who’d taught me to dance, before Silas shared a truth with me I never wanted to know – I wasn’t a Lockwood.'

@marrenvale.co.ukI have plans for the Lockwoods, and I'm going to be setting up a Discord server where I'll be created a roadmap, which might be a little spoilery; talk about the creation of the Lockwoods in more depth; and hopefully even have live writing sessions, so you can be a part of everything.

@marrenvale.co.uk'We stepped out into Marren Vale together. Stars bright in the summer sky, Dante’s return happening at a very similar time to his original arrival, I glanced at Anne, seeing her as she was for a moment.'
Chapter one of what was originally the Main Arc, and now's Thaddeus's Plan 1305.

@marrenvale.co.ukI'm still making some decisions when it comes to the chapter posting schedule, because there are so many arcs I want to write, and I also want to share them with you, so it'll be a case of seeing how things go over the next couple of weeks.
@marrenvale.co.ukThe Mac is back, so regular posting will begin tomorrow. A reminder of the first financial goal for the Lockwoods - £375. I'm going to split that into three too, so my goal for October is £125. If you're enjoying the new Lockwoods please support me.
@marrenvale.co.ukToday’s Lockwoods chapter has been posted, back in 1179, and this is most definitely not the arc it was, but it’s fascinating to me to see the changes too. Now I’m focusing on the story it is, rather than just creating a prequel to something else, it’s so different.
@marrenvale.co.ukToday’s Lockwoods chapter is posted, and it’s finally the end of the Darkholme gathering.
@marrenvale.co.ukChange of plan - regular social media posts will start next week, hopefully from Monday, but I had to send my Mac for repairs, so I’m back to the iPad, and it’s nowhere near as easy to use.
@marrenvale.co.ukToday's Lockwoods chapter is up. We return to Seth and Sebastian, for the third chapter of this arc.
