Rån som Råder

nonesensedMy list of WIPs that aren't fanfics grows ever longer. I've come to accept that my latest project Rån som Råder is a priority right now, 'cause I'm having too much fun brainstorming 😆
Doing my best not to rush things, just enjoy myself and try my hand at an iterative outline this time around, see if that method works for me 😊
Rån som Råder
Summary: Aster wakes up one morning with moss on her back and the wrong kind of tail. She has, without warning, inherited a domain far, faaar to the north, despite being heir to her mother's city domain. Which means a lot of people just died, very suddenly. Aster must travel to her new domain to hand it over to a more suitable candidate - and she might just stumble into the ancient mystery that caused all those deaths.
Fun stuff in it: Nordic myths & folklore re-imagined in a second world fantasy setting (rån/huldrer! vittera! trolls! älvor/alver! fylgjor!), body horror, song magic, rune magic, blue and orange morality, friends-to-lovers, dark secrets.
Influences/inspirations: Folklore and local legends I've grown up with, the graphic novel series Monstress, my longing for Nordic inspired fantasy without vikings or Aesir gods, Köttpolska by Hoven Droven.
How far I've gotten: Still in the early planning stages. I've got Act 1 at least vaguely outlined, but only in my head.
Art? Yes! I've commissioned art from my super skilled friend Linn of both Aster and her BFF/love interest Yrsa 💖
Next step with this: Keeping on brainstorming until I have enough ideas for a full outline.
Here's an embedded video of Hoven Droven's Köttpolska, in case you haven't heard it and you're curious 😊 It's a fun mix of older and more modern style (heads-up, it's a rather loud piece of music)
