If you enjoy TFS, please consider leaving a review/rating. It does wonders for the series and draws new readers into Fernweh, helping our community grow.

I’m launching my Patreon as well. Character (RO) portraits, bonus writings, sneak peeks, and much more can be found on it, including some free content sprinkled throughout this month that is open to the public as a ‘thank you’ and to celebrate the book’s release. Thank you for your support! :blush:


I also went ahead and created a thread for Book One discussion: here. It will be a great place to meet other Returning Visitors, talk about the characters, and ask any questions you may have.

Thank you for all of your support during the writing process of Book One! :green_heart: I met and interacted with so many different readers; I’ve known some of you for months, if not a year, while I’ve had the pleasure to meet newcomers as well. I can’t emphasize enough how thankful I am for the community. Your encouragement is motivating as I continue working on Book Two. :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@Lambkin wanna count how many mention of food is in the game? Luna were you hungry when you wrote those? :sweat_smile:

Congratulations, Aelsa! To say I’m over the moon for you would be an understatement of my happiness for you. I keep trying to find the right words to convey my feelings, but they’re all inadequate. Thank you for sharing TFS with all of us; I wish you and Fernweh all the success and what will no doubt be a bright future.

EDIT:
@E_RedMark
I haven’t eaten anything today yet, so I probably shouldn’t count all the mentions of food, haha. The diner scene and the dinner scene in Ch. 04 nearly ended me. :sweat_smile:

I usually don’t comment on this page but this book deserves it, been waiting for god knows how long for the release and now it’s here and I’m just … SO FREAKING HAPPY AND PROUD.

Your writing just from the demo is amazing and the way you convey the characters are insane. Happy release day Aelsa :orange_heart:

Ahem

Tiffy is mushy, sweet, and gentle. If she could write poetry to tell you how she feels, it would be many doodles with sparkly hearts and butterflies.

She would write sonnets, and sing in a birdy tone her love at your dedication in finishing this game, bringing everyone to tears and killing a few hundred kleenexes at the same time.

But of course, that’s not enough, for the feelings she has are bursting and Shakespeare’s words come rushing out of her mouth as if possessed!

@Lambkin Eat something! Don’t wait till you turn Blue lol or faint! :hugs:

WHICH Shakespeare’s words? Is it his “Yo momma” joke?

Lol, I tend to pace around while I write, so I very well could have been. XD I did enjoy coming up with the different cake flavors as most of you will have seen from the demo in Chapter 4. :birthday:

@SnowPhoniex Thank you! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

@qwint I’ve loved talking with you on Tumblrl; it’s nice to see you here too. :yellow_heart: Thank you so much for not only being happy, but also proud of Book One’s release. It might sound sappy, but it does mean a lot that readers are proud/invested in it finally being released since many of you have been here with me during the writing process, the editing rounds, and then the submission wait. It’s finally here for everyone to experience!

@Lambkin I think you conveyed those feelings perfectly; I’m also at a bit of a loss (a happy loss! :smiley: ) as things come in across all my accounts. Thank you for the well wishes and all the support/help you’ve given me. :green_heart:

A trigger warning would’ve been nice, for those of us who get fat by just reading about food! :sweat_smile:

Embrace the sappy I say, and like I’ve said on tumblr, the book is worth the wait. You are an incredible writer and should enjoy this, you deserve it :orange_heart: I’m almost ready to get back to fernweh, mc done, music done, now I just have to wait for my iPad to finish charging and then I’m off to sweep James off his feet :heart_eyes:

And use a really long stick to keep myself and R apart for now :joy:

Congratulations @lacunafiction !

I’m so proud of you, you deserve every praise there is! I hope everyone enjoys the game as much as I did during beta.

I just bought a copy for me and a copy for my sister. I can’t wait to hear her thoughts, as well as everyone else’s on the new discussion thread. I envy every new visitor who will discover the secrets of Fernweh for the first time, it’s a great experience :green_heart:

Who is with me on this?

I either get to strangle Mrs Verner, use her as bait to get the baddy, or give her a humiliating Spanking in the center of Town, over my knee with an old Nun paddle!

:triumph:

Yeah, she’s horrible at the beginning but my main MC is on R’s route so she’ll love me some day, you’ll see :smirk_cat:

It feels like she would secretly be into spanking so it all comes down to what you want to get out of it :joy:

Might not be blur worthy but better safe than sorry :eyes:

I’m a bit late, but I wanted to say congratulations @lacunafiction . I still remember the first demo, and I’m proud to have been along for the ride as you developed Fernweh Saga, and I’m so happy for the release. I wish you all the best for the next book. (I was at a conference all weekened and am current heading nack home, so I’ll have to wait to get it till we get back, but I can’t wait to return.)

Lol. My MC on R’s path, Fanny, is very hard not to like, so I hope Ms.V comes around eventually, but Fanny is also afraid of her, so I can’t wait to see gow that plays out at family dinner.

@lo6otia @Cat-Toes Thank you both so much for the well wishes about the release! :green_heart: I’m also really grateful for all of your help and encouragement during the beta process, which I know improved the book and gave me awesome feedback from engaged Returning Visitors. I love how Fernweh is getting so many new visitors! lo6otia, I also adore how you invited your sister to town; it will be fun to discuss theories with her and see if she also falls for R or favors a different route. :smile_cat: Also, Cat-Toes, I hope you get home safely!

@resuri08 Yes, that would be great to have the conversation in one place. Thank you for offering! :revolving_hearts:

I’ll link it one last time in case anyone checks this thread again. It’s: here, just please remember to be mindful of spoilers when posting in the discussion for Book One thread.
