Support 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.

I'm hoping to work more on the Discord today, fingers crossed I get the time because there's a lot happening, but I really want to start sharing it soon. There will be some channels where I'll be sharing snippets from stories I'm in the middle of, with potential spoilers.

'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.'

The 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).

I'd forgotten how much I missed having regular posts scheduled. Thank you all so much for the support over the last couple of days. You don't know quite how much it's appreciated. Being back properly is something I'm really happy about, and I hope you're enjoying the new arcs.

If 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.

'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...'

I'm lucky enough to have four years to make a go of actually earning a living from my original fiction, instead of ghostwriting. Unfortunately that is now all pretty much GenAI, people choosing cheap over skilled, so if you are enjoying the Lockwoods please support me any way you can.

'“Give me a moment of honesty, Titus.” He studied me. “If you were able to would you tell me?”

“Yes.” Truth wrapped around us. “Anne, all I’ve done is make it harder for you to trust me."'

Thaddeus's Plan 1179 Chapter One, originally a flashback, and that's really changed.

'Both Leonora and Cornelius were friends of Reuben during his childhood, much to Titus’s dismay when it came to Leonora. He never forced change upon the Lockwood heirs, because, normally, he hadn’t needed to.'

Chapter 1 of Thaddeus's Plan 1179.

The character we really have to blame for the SimsLit changing as much as it did is Anne, the Heart. Getting to know her, and what she was, had an effect on everything I planned originally, with her story becoming far more important than the one I thought I wanted to tell.

#TheLockwoods

Anne 1305, my gorgeous red headed Anne, who is going to have green eyes. This is her standing in the Lockwood house, looking down. She has the Lockwood ears.Anne 1179, brunette, with brown eyes, Anne is looking up, and is wearing the necklace she was originally given by Titus on her first 18th birthday.Anne 16, unfortunately in her soul form, so there's no colour at all. This is one of the few pictures I have of her, so I need to change that soon.

'“Yes, we do. We don’t have the time to waste. It’s been what? Five months of preparation already?” He raised an eyebrow. “After so many lives I understand the ritual, and the work it takes to make it possible. My hatred of it doesn’t change that.”'

Chapter 1 of Thaddeus's Plan 1179.

'“She’ll have read Sybil’s journal.”

“Phoebe should have burnt it.”

“Titus…”

“I know, I know.” He raked a hand through his hair. “No destroying family history.”'

Chapter one of Thaddeus's Plan 1179, originally the flashback of the main arc (this is not that flashback).

Day 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.

#TheLockwoods

The current Annes and Tituses - Anne 1305, Titus 1179, Anne 16, Titus 1305, Anne 1179, and Titus 16.

The 1305 Anne and Titus are red heads. Currently in this image Anne has brown eyes, but that will be changed to green, and I still don't know what colour Titus's are. Anne's also wearing yellow, but that's also going to change. She's the youngest of the Anne's, as she's still a teenager, while Titus is in his early twenties.

Anne and Titus from 1179 are both brunettes, Titus has slightly darker hair, and Anne's wearing green. They both have brown eyes. All four of those Annes and Tituses have very pale skin.

Anne from 16 is blonde with golden eyes, while Titus has black hair and blue eyes. They are not related at this time, with Anne's skin much more tanned. Both are wearing red.
