Vulpine Bios
Just posted 3: Embers. It was a little later than my normal updates, but that's because I kinda slept in after having had to wake up at 6am the other day. :P
Hope you guys found/find Riven's POV to be interesting. He's definitely a piece of work. I kinda like to think of him as a version of Fireblaze existing in a society where kinship means diddley squat, and loyalty is meaningless until you're on your way home again.
I'll update Musk's trainees bios a bit here in a minute, too, providing the site actually cooperates with me this time.
@Dracones: I was really confused when I saw you post 5 times in a row, ha. Luckily it only counted as 1 review, for whatever reason. Glad you liked Faun so far, and yes, the Skulk is very much about relying on one's own strength for survival - a method of thought that is rather problematic for a bunch of foxes trying to live together. ;)
@Lynxeyes: Warriors + the Hunger Games + foxes sounds good to me, ha. I recognized the influences when I started working on the idea, and I've tried to steer away from them (the Skulk's society is almost nothing like the Clans), there are probably still some similarities. Riven's group is a bit like the Careers, I guess, and while one of the tests is very structured one-on-one business, the other (that we don't know anything about yet xD) is more of a free-for-all kinda thing. Another one of my friends (I posted the first 5 chapters on TC to make them beta for me, haha) was fond of Feo too. Must be a super underdog/Eeyore thing. Riven is pretty much an arsehole, yes - which is as fun as it is frustrating. xD Good thought about Musk & Sage, too, although if they did fight each other, one of them would have to have died. Sage isn't really runty, but he's not all that big, either.
@Swyfte: Hey! Good to see you. No worries about being late; the story's still young. Swipes are indeed months; it's a folklore thing, which Sprite or Sage will prolly spill at some point or another, as much as they love stories. The POVs will progress in the order they're mentioned in the synopsis, so we still have Trick to go before we hit Sprite up again.
@Bookworm: Great to see you here too! Tbh I don't have a set idea for where this mysterious forest is, but it's probably somewhere around where I live (Kentucky), or at least in the same sort of terrrain (woodland and rolling hills). "Write what you know," as they say. I think it's safe to say Riven is daring enough to go after Faun and the others, but whether or not he has the cleverness to pull it off is a different matter.
See you guys next Sunday!
