You Know What Would Be Funny

You know what would be funny

You know who's an Author

Whose most famous stories feature riffs on fairytales and folklore

Who wields Canon like a weapon - using her status as Author to change characters' stories after the fact, so they can more effectively defend her from her 'enemies'?

we're not the Authors in Neverafter, gang, we're the voices in the Auroratory

the Authors are about taking all the possible versions and retellings and preserving the 'correct' ones in Ink to make them canonical, does that sound like us to you?

That's right, we're back!

Your favorite false-true crime/romcom/Shakespearean comedy/mystery podcast is back! On March 13th, we’ll kick off our month-long fundraising campaign for our third season, and we’re counting on all of you Good People out there to help us make this one bigger and better than ever.

Be the first to know when our Indiegogo campaign goes live on March 13th by signing up for updates here. The sooner you can show your support for Arden and the whole crew behind this season, the sooner we can get some pretty spectacular rewards to you!

It's true, the Arden team has put together some VERY exciting rewards from the wonderful world of Wheyface for this round of fundraising. While we can’t reveal all our secrets just yet - we’ve gotta build some suspense, right? - we might be persuaded to drop a few hints…

...

...

Okay FINE, you convinced us. We're not pushovers or anything, it's just that we like you too much to keep secrets from you for too long. We're bringing you perks and gifts like exclusive merch direct from the world-famous WheyCon, your own Wheyface employee badge, a dossier on this season’s case and characters, a glimpse into a day in the life of Andy Wheyface himself, and much more!

And speaking of a day in the life of Andy Wheyface, keep an eye on our social media (we're on Twitter too!) to find out how you can play along in an exclusive Wheyface Industries choose-your-own adventure, when Andy will navigate his greatest challenge yet: The Met Gala.

Talk to you soon, Good People!

All right, luvvies? Welcome new subscribers, and thanks everyone who responded to January's newsletter by email and on Mastodon. I've been r

This month in the Foggy Outline newsletter: is there a piece of creative advice - about craft, commercialisation, or any other aspect of creativity - that you've fully taken to heart?

L is for @loveandluckpodcast!

Kane and Jason’s relationship is told through the voicemails that they leave each other. As the story progresses, they move in together and open a queer dry bar, which becomes an important part of the local LGBTQIA+ community.

........aaaaaaaand that's another production complete and available to binge in full!

If the cast group chat is anything to go by, you WILL fancy Gwynned (the shieldmaiden of Morrigan who spent thousands of years in time-out as a duck) by the end of this story

In which we reach the end of the line, penalty fares apply, and not everyone makes the return trip.
