@marrenvale.co.ukThere's not a lot there yet, just some threads with links to the first posted chapters, but the Discord exists. I do have plenty more I'll be doing with it, but, for now, it's just nice to have it. Currently the invite is for 50 members, which, to me, is a good start.
@marrenvale.co.uk'When he said no, trying to be far more gentle about it than I could imagine being in that situation, she made certain choices I tried desperately to talk her out of, even though she couldn’t hear me, which led to Anne learning about Titus’s feelings for her…'
Seth and Sebastian One
@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.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'“Fortunately for me Thaddeus came to understand that, because he didn’t ask me to make the same vow. He gave me the freedom to tell Anne whenever the right time was. Only I died instead.”'
Seth and Sebastian Poll Story Chapter 1
@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'“From what I could tell you were the one who had doubts about the plan from the beginning.” Seth looked at Sebastian, a touch of amusement in his face for the first time. “What do you believe Anne wants?”'
Seth and Sebastian Poll Story Chapter 1
@marrenvale.co.ukThe twins came to exist due to a whim. I knew there would be at least one arc where Anne and Titus ended up in a romantic relationship (although there's more than one now), and I wanted to see what it would be like for them to have children, so now we have Seth and Sebastian.
@marrenvale.co.uk"However it is possible we could transition the soulbond to the soulmate.”
“Something you hate the very thought of.” I had no doubts – Sebastian was the Heart’s son. “Why are you here, Julian?”

@marrenvale.co.uk'Seth shook his head. “Give us one good reason why we should believe any of this. You’re a Riordan.”
The look Sebastian gave Seth then was almost enough to make me laugh at the worst possible time.'

@marrenvale.co.uk'Elias wanted the soulbond. The day he attempted to steal it Titus stepped in to protect Anne, even putting in the effort to try to hold Elias’s soul together, but power didn’t make someone capable of soul magics like that.'

@marrenvale.co.ukUnfortunately it seems most of my normal work has faded into nothing, because people can use Claude or ChatGPT to 'write' novels, rather than hiring a ghost, and I refuse to edit anything written by GenAI either, so if you are enjoying the Lockwoods anything is really appreciated.

@marrenvale.co.uk'I needed it to be over. Titus studied me, obviously not entirely willing to accept I meant what I said. “Anne, I can’t promise you answers.” He used his free hand to stroke some hair back off my face, not taking his eyes off mine, worried I’d made the decision for the wrong reasons.'

@marrenvale.co.uk'As he drew me into his arms, kissing the top of my head, I rested my cheek against his chest, listening to the sound of his heartbeat. It was still, even after so many lifetimes of pain and anger, the easiest way for him to calm me. For a moment I was that little girl again...'
@marrenvale.co.ukPersonally I love the Lockwoods in first person, because I get to show so much more of the characters. There's also less of a chance of me randomly switching point of view in the middle, due to how focused it is, and I'm really glad I made the choices.
