No more cis people.

#JulyInterviewFic. Question 9. Sir Corbyn: "No." Ata: "I think it was when I punched Nim, they were trying to kiss me but for some stupid reason I thought they were going to bite me?" Don't worry, you'll hear Sir Corbyn's regrets in an upcoming story. #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

book cover comm for @willdavis.bsky.social and @nerdictranslator.com !! This was so much fun to make 🤩🤩

What a fortunate #SummerOfStories! I just wrote this for The Wolf Knight, my current WIP. It should surprise no one who's listened to my stories that Ata would acquire drip. After all, her adoptive mother is always serving. #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #shortstory #WIP

Popped four gavescon this evening and it's still not enough, remove my stomach acid please! Can't wait until I get my meds back!

#JulyInterviewFic. Question 8. Sir Corbyn: "I learned how to crochet when I was little." Ata: "A lot off people think I love to sing and I do, but drawing is more fun for me. I'm not sure why though, I'm a much better singer." #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #shortstory #WritingPrompt

As far as I can see, there's not really a reason to employ emdashes if you're using the correct punctuation in the first place. I never really used them and considering AI steals from humans, if we stop using them it stands to reason the bots will too. #SummerOfStories #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Depends. Raven & Bear: - Halberdier Marrok from the paladins of Dwynwen. - Princess Ceindrych of Brycheiniog. Both from The Wolf Knight but we might have met Marrok earlier. The Wisp Lantern: - Professor Ebner, a teacher of magic. #AwesomeCharacters #Raven+Bear #TheWispLantern #WriteSky

#JulyInterviewFic. Question 7. Sir Corbyn: "That Ata will die too, no overcoming that." Ata: "Other people's expectations can weight me down and make failing scary, but focusing on what I expect helps a lot." Now you know why Sir Corbyn's sad. #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #shortstory

I am possessed by vivid visions and driven to be their scribe, an instrument of the inspiration rather than its wielder. I awake, hours later and marvel in horror at each word. I suppose I'm a pantser? Feel free to ask me questions! #SummerOfStories #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt

Another #JulyInterviewFic! Question 6. Sir Corbyn: "... I learned is that I'm not worthy enough to have a page." Ata: "... I don't know what I did, but one time I met a girl and really liked her but suddenly she refused to speak to me at all." #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #shortstory

This is really funny. They were a monster hunter in a red coat, who learns they're half monster and searches for their sibling who they were separated from as a child. Basically Dante from DMC. Except I'd never even heard of DMC when I wrote that. #AwesomeCharacters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #DMC

thou hast been blessed by the ibuprofen knight praise be ⚔️💚

The last one. Generally a lot of writing comes easily to me. Sometimes I get stuck on the odd paragraph but mostly that's because I have obsessive and compulsive tendencies which make life harder. They force me to avoid repeating articles, pronouns etc. #SummerOfStories #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

I'm going to take a break from writing Raven & Bear once the first volume if done because besides from a loyal few it's been a little thankless and that's not great for my mental health. So, I think a change in project might be needed.

The funny thing is that cis people do know how bad it feels to be misgendered. If you tell a cis man he's not "manly enough" he'll get upset. You tell a cis woman they're not "feminine enough" you get the same reaction. Yet act surprised when trans people get upset when misgendered and call us soft.

"My situation doesn't lend itself to keeping to a personal style, and I just end up scavenging what I can. Clothing included. That said, I would not turn away a black leather jacket, a wide-brimmed hat, a nice pair of gloves, or good boots. Black, if at all possible." #JulyInterviewFic

Catching up on #JulyInterviewFic. Question 5. Sir Corbyn: "Well I always hated wearing dresses, so it was a relief when Sir Myrddin let me pick my clothes. Not sure how he knew though." Ata: "I just wear what's comfortable. Unless I have to dress fancy." #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear

Little late to this #JulyInterviewFic. Question 4. Sir Corbyn: ... I've saved a lot of towns from a lot of monsters, but I think when Ata performed at The Eisteddfod. That was something else. Ata: One time, someone told me I was just like my d- Sir Corbyn. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear

I'd probably say mine is descriptive and yes, I like to use imagery. It's a necessary element of writing, just as costumes and set design are for theatre. It all depends on what you chose, how you use it and when. Feel free to ask questions! #SummerOfStories #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#SummerOfStories Here's Grilled being a murderous little shit

For #FaveLineFriday I'm sharing an excerpt from The Wolf Knight. Last week, Sir Garrett told Ata not to worry about his injury. This week she tells him not to worry about her trauma. Last week's is below for comparison. Bonus Q: No, sorry. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear #WritingPrompt

Woe, links to my stories be upon #QueerWritersChat. Youtube: www.youtube.com/@thebrambler... Wattpad: www.wattpad.com/user/TheBram... RoyalRoad: www.royalroad.com/fiction/1752... They're free to enjoy, so please go check them out! #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear #writers

CYMRU AM BYTH! You could say independence is a foundational theme for Raven & Bear. My stories explore a Wales which thrives in the absence of England. Additionally, it discusses the harm a lack of sovereignty causes. Context for excerpt below. #QueerPrompts #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

#SummerOfStories Those I do have are too spoiler-heavy to share, but I figure that if I take a line or two out of context, no-one will mind, right? Here's the final line spoken during the current (extremely patchwork) climax of Shadow Puppets. I think it's pretty monumental, personally.

It takes time to build an emotional response in your audience. However, that being said please take these two crescendos from The Lake Hopper (4) and Grave Curiosity (7) from Raven & Bear. The first of these is free to enjoy right now btw. #SummerOfStories #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear

That's sort of the blind leading the blind sorry. #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Hello again #QueerWritersChat! If we're talking about being aware of how much time passes when they're busy. It needs to be Sir Garrett, a reoccurring side character. If we're talking about scheduling it's Queen Ifon. She's very organised. #QueerWriters #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Easy, I'm disabled and can't leave my house; so there's nothing else to do until new shows come out or video games I can play with friends. I know that's a bit of a nothing answer, sorry about that. I'm also not very consistent either. #QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Hi #QueerWritersChat! I'm the babbling, rambling bard known as Bramble. I write and record short stories for a collection called Raven & Bear. Currently recording the fifth while writing the eighth. A one woman operation! Replies Welcome. #QueerWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear #WIP

Ever do something fun (heartbreaking) with you're writing? The Wolf Knight has been so fun to write, even though it's kind of stressful because I'm juggling a lot of in this story. From questions of faith, Ata's past and future, missions of diplomacy. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear #WIP

Yay another #JulyInterviewFic. Question 3. Sir Corbyn: "The choice to bring Ata with me. Not because of her, she's a merry wee bairn. Didn't trust myself to keep her safe, still don't." Ata: "Mine have been easy, but I'm not sure if that's good or bad." #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

Not really. It might sound silly but Raven & Bear is pretty idyllic (other than monsters and an irradiated forest over the border). The example of forced clothing would be the high law of Proof Heraldic. Nothing discriminatory though. #JulyWorldbuilders #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity

What's your favourite pastry, looking for snack recommendations. I've become quite fond of a jam filled croissant.

I write because I want to connect with people. I'm autistic so I spent I've spent my life dealing with misunderstandings. Except in poetry or prose, somehow I connect their imagery to intent with ease. Writing gave me a chance to be known. #SummerOfStories #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompt

Today's #WIPSnips is from The Wolf Knight! This story is the eighth in Raven & Bear and takes place in Brycheiniog, a kingdom where Catholicism is widely practiced. So you all know, this is actually describing a real cathedral in Brecon. #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear #shortstory #Cymru

Raven & Bear recently had the fourth story uploaded to Youtube and Wattpad. Playing catchup on RoyalRoad currently. Links are in my pinned post: bsky.app/profile/theb... You might have noticed these are all free to enjoy. So go do that. #WeeknightWriters #Raven+Bear #bookrecs #whattoread #booksky

Like any sane bitch I enjoy validation so please just tell me stuff you enjoy about Raven & Bear. Sometimes, I get a crisis where I consider giving up on it until a random person tells me they enjoyed it. So, fellow attention seeking losers, please aid me. #WeeknightWriters #Raven+Bear #shortstory

Sleep and avoid my family. Highly recommend it. Also, obviously taking my meds and drinking water. Can't go wrong with any of that really. Maybe exercise if I can. #WeeknightWriters

Playing games with my GF. Also I got to a point in The Wolf Knight where I've reintroduced a character we haven't seen since The Knightbane's Prize (my first story for Raven & Bear). It's going to be so interesting. #WeeknightWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear #WIP

I've been trying to record a specific bit of verse for Of Dina & Dan. Mostly just getting very perfectionist about it. I've also been trying to let out my accent a bit more for this because I usually have a more neutral accent when recording. #WeeknightWriters #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Raven+Bear

Perpetually tired. I feel a little better after my week long break but the hypermobility has been getting very painful to live with lately. I'll survive, but recording has been halted.

Hello #WeeknightWriters! I'm Bramble, a Welsh trans-woman who writes and records short stories about knights and chivalry set in a post-apocalyptic Wales. Currently recording the fifth story and writing the eighth. It's going fine. #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #shortstory #WIP

Hi #JulyWorldbuilders, playing catchup with you all! Though I borrow the aesthetics of chivalry for Raven & Bear, these stories actually take place in a post-apocalyptic Wales. This means that in their distant past, they wore clothing just like ours. #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Cymru

Hi #JulyWorldbuilders! You'll find most people wearing robes or gowns in Raven & Bear. The aesthetic of Arthurian Legend and Welsh Mythology. My characters wear some nifty gambeson in the livery of their knightly order. Black for knights, brown for squires and pages! #Raven+Bear #shortstory #Cymru

Yay another #JulyInterviewFic! Sir Corbyn: "I don't think you'd enjoy that. I nearly drowned, my father died and I washed up on the shore of Dywyll near Caer y Môn." Ata: "Probably the day I met Sir Corbyn, I owe him everything really." #Raven+Bear #WriteSky #WritingCommuntiy #shortstory #writers
