@marrenvale.co.ukToday's chapter is up, and we're back in 1179 with Anne's point of view, along with my realisation this might not technically 100% be a flashback. We'll all find out together.
#TheLockwoods #MyCharactersAreAPain #OfCourseThat'sHowIt'sGoing
@marrenvale.co.ukToday's Lockwood's chapter, back to 1305, and Titus, still at the Darkholme gathering (which was meant to be two chapters, then became three, and now is going to be at least four, but at least it's showing both Anne and Titus as who they are. With all the changes it's important).
@marrenvale.co.ukThe disadvantage(?) of this is that every story will be much longer, which is also an advantage, at least for those who love long stories. I'm also going to have the originals arcs at Tumblr, for those who'd like to see how the Lockwoods started.
@marrenvale.co.ukI had an unspoken goal for the Lockwoods, which was posting 20,000 words this month. Honestly didn't expect it to happen, but letting the chapters be however long feels right had an added benefit - when today's post goes up at 3pm I'll be at almost 25,000 words.
@marrenvale.co.ukToday's new Lockwoods chapter is for Seth and Sebastian's Poll Arc, which has seen the biggest changes so far. (My boys surprised me entirely, but, with how different all the characters are now, this makes a lot of sense.
@marrenvale.co.ukToday's Lockwoods chapter is up, and we're back to Titus's point of view in 1179.
@marrenvale.co.ukToday's Lockwood's chapter is up, and we're back to 1305, for Anne's point of view.
@marrenvale.co.ukFrom the 1st of October there will be regular social media posts for the Lockwoods, so I hope those of you who see them (because the lack of algorithm on Bluesky isn't always entirely helpful) will be willing to do a quick share. I really do appreciate it.
@marrenvale.co.ukSo it will be - 1309, 1179, Seth and Sebastian, until probably around five or six chapters of Seth and Sebastian. With time I'm hoping to get to two posts a day again, to be sharing more stories at a time, but with life as it is for now this is the most logical schedule.
@marrenvale.co.ukAs promised Friday here's today's Seth and Sebastian chapter. This arc, like all of them, will be a little different to the original, but I thought this was a a good place to start with the other Marren Vales. We'll be rotating through the three, until we change this arc for another.
@marrenvale.co.ukThe Lockwoods
First financial goal - £375
Posting schedule - weekdays, with weekends for what you might have missed
@marrenvale.co.ukI also have an empty thank you page, that I'm hoping to fill with names (or at least anonymous thousands of times). Over the weekend there's no new posts, to give everyone time to read, and on Monday it will be a Seth and Sebastian arc. More details on the regular schedule then too.
@marrenvale.co.ukThere are some other pages posted too, with the Love for the Lockwoods back up, as I'm no longer using Patreon or Ko-fi due to their GenAI stances. So, if you enjoy the new Lockwoods (or the old Lockwoods and want to help me write more of the new) all support is appreciated.
@marrenvale.co.ukToday's Lockwoods chapter is up - and this is what was the flashback, but it's being posted at the same time now, because it made sense with the changes to the entire story. It's at a slightly different time, as the entire timeline has also changed.
@marrenvale.co.ukThere will be art. I haven't had as much time as I hoped, so that's also been on the back burner. Fortunately I now have more freedom, which means it is coming, but it will take a little longer because I still suck.
@marrenvale.co.ukI'm starting in a different place. The chapters will be however long they need to be. (I do have reading time at the top of each chapter.) Posting will be every weekday, with weekends for catching up. For now it's a chapter a day, but this may change.
@marrenvale.co.ukThe Lockwoods are back! I was planning an actual countdown, but, honestly, life has been a big stressful mess, so this is what you get instead. Due to the aforementioned the website is still a work in progress, with the first chapter for what was the main arc now posted.
