I missed this because I slept at a reasonable hour (1 am).
Tis I, your meagre bard Bramble. I'm currently penning "The Lake Hopper", a tale for my collection called #Raven+Bear.
If you enjoy stories of adventure, whimsey, comfort and chivalry then you will greatly adore my work!

#Raven+Bear can be difficult to write because it's about a parent / child dynamic. It makes me think about my step-dad. It's been nearly a decade and I still miss him.

I've been writing poetry since I was eleven. I have strong opinions about it and people not using metre or rhyme outside of specific styles. That's going to upset some people but I have a reason for it and this view is not an absolute.

Gather your travels,
Bring them life in oil and song,
Faded past recalled.
Characters
Wintery old man,
His daughter shall be the spring,
Grown into summer.
Setting
Forests of horror,
Emerge from calamity,
Onward we spiral.

Deuteragonists, so I'll quote this twice.
Princess Ata.
Ata is "no older than ten" and has been homeless for years. So most of her connections are new. That being said, she will obviously lose people someday. It's their job to prepare her for that time.

Sir Corbyn's reluctance toward having a page is rooted in grief. We'll explore that in the next story I'm putting on youtube, Caer y Môn. Link in my bio if y'all want to catch up.

Offering up quartz rather than crystal for this #WIPSnips.
Meet Madarch, a side character from The Lake Hopper who uses the neo-pronouns of Nhw/Eu. A huge part of #Raven+Bear for me has always been queer rep. because a Wales which flourishes in independence cannot exclude people from that.

Princess Ata.
People will resonate with her because at heart she's a good kid. Ata is eager to learn and be helpful in a way I think most kids naturally are. She's kind, despite having a lot of bad happen to her.

Sir Corbyn.
People will resonate because he's a great father figure. He doesn't necessarily want a kid in his care, but he never makes it the kid's problem. He's caring, sweet + gentle to them. Even when it hurts.

For #Raven+Bear there's a detail about Sir Corbyn which I haven't found a place to reveal yet. It should come up in the next few stories though.
I have hinted at it. So I'm curious if anyone has a guess.

Potluck! Ata from #Raven+Bear is a child, though if she's bringing anything it's a good appetite. Sir Corbyn probably makes apple crumble / pie because Ata asked for it. This is mostly because they eat apple crumble in Proof Heraldic. Which was a super cute scene.

My partner just made me realise Sir Corbyn is hot.
I feel like that should have been obvious to me. Yet, it escaped my notice even though I wrote him as:
- Lean
- Rugged
- Warm
- Fatherly
- Respectful
- Patient
- Disciplined
- Badass
- Scottish
I somehow never realised this.

#Raven+Bear are hopeful stories.
They show a Wales which flourished independently.
Part of that is the inclusion of queer people.
Each story has a trans character, some royal & others nomads.
If you need a reprieve, my stories are there.

I've really enjoyed "Dead End: Paranormal Park" based on the graphic novel by Hamish Steele.
Also "Nimona" by N.D. Stevenson is obviously a fav. and actually an inspiration for my own collection of short stories. I like things which are hopeful, have found family or possess whimsy.
