Important: TFS Patreon Changes!

Introduction

Hi Everyone!

I hope you’re doing well.

First, I know that the title might come off as a little daunting, so please let me reassure you that the changes I’m about to outline are about lowering select tier prices and adding benefits.

It’s nothing unsettling like in Fernweh. 🌲

Before we get into that, I would like to share a quic...

Surprise #3: How Well Do You Know TFS: Book One? Quiz [Public]

Hello!

TFS: Book One released on January 5th, so we're almost approaching its one month milestone.

I thought it might be fun for you all to test your knowledge of Fernweh with a playful quiz that includes a variety of questions about what you may (or may not) have noticed during the story. It's best to have played through the game at least once since there ...

Extended Progress Update: January 27 2023

Hi Everyone!

I hope you’re looking forward to a restful weekend.

We’re slowly approaching TFS: Book One’s one month release milestone (?).  I think that’s the right word for it, though I’m tempted to use ‘anniversary’ since it’s my beloved. 🥰 While I know many of you familiar with me on Tumblr or the Forum have had a chance to experi...

[Alternate Text: An image of scattered Polaroid or instant-camera pictures that contain different moments in someone's life. 'The Before and After' serves as the title in 3D font that lets the colorful photographs peek through each letter.]

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #3: A Funny, Incorrect TFS Quote from My Editor

Reckless!MC: When have I done anything rash or irresponsible?

B: I keep a list. It's alphabetized.

A moment of silence for B when they are roped into plans highly reckless MCs come up with.

Poll: Author’s Choice: Flower Power (2 of 2)

Hello!

I hope your weekend is going well. 😊

I wanted to create that short and sweet poll that I mentioned in the Author’s Choice this month to help me decide the third flower-character combo. From that writing, you will have discovered that there is so much more to those floral arrangements since they link to the romance routes and how characters may feel about each ot...

Extended Progress Update: January 20 2023

Hi Everyone!

I hope you had a lovely week.

Well, I learned something that I kind of already knew about myself. If I say: ‘I’ll think about it’, then I really think about anything other than ‘it’ and procrastinate until someone asks me the same question again. (Yes, it’s an utter joy deciding what to eat for dinner with me. /s 😌) It has been 15 days since Book...

Surprise #2: B's Bodacious Brownies Recipe [Public]

The sweet aroma of chocolate wafting through the air almost makes up for the fact that the whir of an electric hand mixer distracted you from reading. B remains oblivious to your presence, continuing to cream softened butter until it becomes a pale yellow in the mixing bowl with each rapid rotation of the beaters. They seem too intent to notice you anytime soon, but yo...

I gently recommend you all read this post after having played Chapter 8 a few times! 😉

Extended Progress Update: January 13 2023

Hi Everyone!

I hope you’re doing well.

It’s extremely fitting to have a weekly update on one of the Friday 13ths within this year given TFS’s slow-build horror themes and the total number of chapters in Book One. 😉🖤🐈 That was an intentional choice! This number is sometimes associated with creepy things from the eerie clock in the Haunted Mans...

'Grief Comes in Waves' (Sofia Version)

Lacuna Rambles/Thoughts/Gif Reacts #2: Candy Dilemma

[Alternate Text: Meme of a monkey puppet giving a side-eye expression before looking straight ahead with wide eyes when feeling awkward about overhearing.]

This is how some MCs might have felt when triggering the more, hmm, insinuation-filled JR scene in Chapter 7. It's...

[Alternate Text: A GIF of a lone raven sitting on a post in a snowy field; it looks pensive, and there are other ravens flying in the background.]

It's only been a few days since the release, but I think many of you have experienced how nothing is what it seems in Fernweh. There are secrets embedded in all...
