Crushing Plums, printing zines, and returning from the dead

It’s been a while since I updated!

I have a lot going on and definitely need to be more on top of sending out newsletters, this one is going to be thick and juicy so I hope you’re ready.

First and foremost, I have a new book out! I released CRUSHED PLUMS on November 18th. Crushed Plums is my first ever sapphic novella.

While I don’t currently identify as sapphic, and have not in a long time, I lived a good portion of my young life as a lesbian. My gender identity, and sexuality are something that has grown and changed with me, and I love having the support to explore that and what it means to me. As I change, there are still parts of me that I reflect upon, and still experiences that I’ve lived. I came out in middle school, I think towards the end of sixth grade. At the time I didn’t know what BPD was, but I was head over heels, immensely attached to my middle school best friend. We “dated” as well as two people in middle school could date, for several years. I’ve always been a serial long term dater. If I’m in it, I’m in it for the long haul. I was weird, I was goth, I wore trip pants, and was obsessed with budding internet culture and late night anime on toonami. I had an alter ego and entire fantasy world I would daydream in, and all I knew was boys sort of grossed me out, and my best friend was beautiful, and creative. Boys still gross me out now, but in like a “bring that nasty ass over here” kind of way. I love armpits and antisocial assholes.

All this to say, when I write, I use it as an outlet to explore myself, to explore my feelings about the world, and often times, to marinate and dissect strange dreams and night terrors I’ve had. It’s important to me to put these sorts of things out in the world. Crushed Plums is not only a sapphic novella, but a novella where the main character uses a cane, deals with a chronic body condition, and still kicks ass. The world needs more books where people aren’t afraid to make the main characters weird, different, extra. A mobility aid isn’t just a bulky item used to get around, it’s an extension of yourself. It becomes part of you, and can be used however you need to use it I wanted to see that, and I wanted to put that out in the world.

Crushed Plums is currently only available as an eBook on my personal shop, and itch.io, but will be available wide within a week or so. My partner and I have had a long couple weeks, and dropped the ball on uploading to Ingram spark and D2D but have no fear. If you’d like to hold Crushed Plums, with that beautiful cover by Harvery Oliver Baxter, you’ll be able to soon enough.

Jun and I have kind of been in a weird, almost burnt out recovery mode… well… since we got back from Brazil. We arrived home after a full day of travel, and had so much to do. Aside from just unpacking all of our things, along with all the goodies we brought back, we had so many appointments to set up. While in Brazil, I saw a gastro doctor. I would have liked to see more specialists, but we only had so much time, and the summer was extremely busy for us both. I learned I had several things wrong with my stomach, including but not limited to an esophagus hernia. Despite all this I still have no answer or solution as to why food makes me feel so bad. I’m medicated now, which helps slightly, but we had to set up follow up visits here in Denmark.

While we were in out of appointments for ADHD medication, pain management for my Lupus, getting our HRT renewed, and getting set up with referrals for specialists who could help with my condition, we stumbled upon the orangiest of orange cats. Miso Soupie SuSu Soybean Paste, or Miso for short is the newest addition to our family. I wasn’t sure if I was ready for an animal. We travel alot, and have still been setting our lives up after a huge international move, and I was pet-free for the first time in a long time, after working in rescue and fostering for the past 10 or so years. Miso though, had a nasty raging ear infection, was so skinny, covered in fleas, and clearly had had at least one litter even though she was barely a year old. What were we supposed to do? The answer was welcome her, schedule her all the vet appointments, and end up with a rascal of a cat who loves to travel with us.

Miso has her own passport now, and because of that, we were able to take her with us on a trip to Italy. Jun and I had planned to travel by train and see the country side, on our way to Florence. I found out my good friend, and one of my favorite authors, A.A. Fairview was going to be in Florence for a family trip shortly after my move to Europe. I could not miss this opportunity to see them again after meeting them at Lavendercon in DC in 2024. Italy was so beautiful, and the highlight of the trip for me was getting to take Echo, and In The Garden Of Echo to meet Botticelli’s Birth Of Venus in real life. She was stunning.

Arin is one of the most talented, funny, kind, and creative people I’ve ever met. I think they’re so gorgeous, and I love talking to them. Their books are delicious and the smut is top tier, and god damn can they write some hilarious dialog and antics. I’m so honored to be able to call them my friend, and feel privileged and lucky I’ve been able to travel twice now to spend time with them in person.

Arin actually has a yummy winter book coming out soon. If you like fat women, aliens, and holiday erotica you can sign up for an ARC and read their new book.

Aliens in My Stockings ARC form

ALIENS IN MY STOCKINGS is a sapphic, FFF, alien Christmas romance featuring... - Nuerodivergent Cast - Plus sized bodies (both MC and LI) -

I highly recommend getting on that, and then checking out Arin’s backlog.

Unfortunately, on our way back from Italy as we traveled through Italy, Switzerland and Germany, I experienced some of the most heinous ableism in my life. I was denied access to accommodations, yelled at by passengers for having a mobility aid, unable to get through stations that had no elevators disability access, and even dragged out of a disability bathroom by a bathroom attendant and then blocked from returning to Jun. It was a scary, demeaning, and painful trip back. This is the reason I am so loud about disability, and accessibility. The way I was treated was unacceptable, and I returned home covered in bruises because of it. If you’re reading this, it is your duty to help speak up for disabled folks, and fight for accessibility accommodations.

I’d like to end on a good note, so I want to say if you’ve ever wanted to hold one of my short stories in person you can now. My wonderful, talented partner made a zine layout, formatted, printed, cut, and sewed the spines together for A Magnolia Dies and Blooms, Lovely Astral Charming Girl Broadcast, Hen’s Tooth, Still Water, and Afterbirth. The zines, as well as a few free ePubs are all available on shop.wolfehorror.com right now, and they’d make perfect stocking stuffers. We added exclusive new art to all of them as well, and Still Water and Afterbirth even have some lovely art by Jun himself.

Update 010: Finally

Hey guys, and welcome to the... am I allow to call it a weekly update anymore? Anyways, sorry for the huge delay. Laptop troubles and preparing for college, and doctor visits has done a lot to me lately. Anyways, let's just jump straight in this time, shall we?

RWBY: Atlas Shrugged - Okay, so some big things here. First things first, I might need to do a name change here. I have seen some things on the wiki and on here that the northernmost kingdom where this will happen might be called Mantle and Atlas might be a) a PMC (Private Military Corporation) or b) the name of the Academy there or even c) the capital of the kingdom. This will be an issue for this story and I hope that there is something out there already or that we will learn more about the world. I think the WoR episode on kingdoms might help me out here, so I will watch that soon. 

Also, I got my Charahub account back after I lost the password, so now the character making process has been made easier. As for actual story updates, not much. Been focus on college recently.

Deal of a Lifetime - Nothing besides the fact that the next chapter will be updated by tomorrow.

All the Rest - Yeah, everything that isn't Deal will be on hold currently. With the new semester starting up soon, I need to get into a pattern before I start doing these stories from the ground up. As for why I will still work on Deal, I have the whole story planned out already so I just need to connect dots there.

Sorry about all this, but college comes first. Wolfe Mollenkopf signing off.

Update 009: College is a Scam

Hey everyone, and welcome to the weekly update I post on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Apologies for no stories being uploaded this week. The reason for this is because of two things. First thing, I left on a mini-vacation for three days and forgot to take my laptop charger with me, so couldn't do any work then. The second thing is because my college once again is messing up my financial aid and is asking me to pay a tuition fee that is way too high. So, been dealing with that for a few days too. Also, starting next week, I think I will be starting up college again. It should be around that time anyway. I don't really know since my college only talks to me when I need to pay them something that shouldn't cost money, but I don't want to rant about capitalism's death grip on post-secondary education in my country currently so let's just move on to the updates. Which won't be much since I couldn't do much this week due to reasons stated above. Despite the lack of work, I recommend reading this one. Speaking of it, here it is.

RWBY: Atlas Shrugged - So, no real updates here really. However, I don't want to leave it at that so I am going to talk to you all about this project. As you might have noticed already, I haven't been telling you all a lot about this story yet really. I been saying what I have been working on, but not really saying much on what I have done. I feel like I should stop doing that as much, and be more inclusive. Starting down this path, I am going to briefly talk about one of the themes that will be present throughout the story though won't really be the main focus: the relationship between Humans and the Faunus.

Now if I would say that the interactions, history, and overall atmosphere between the two have been shown poorly I would be lying. Not because they have done a good job doing so, but that would imply that they have tried to do that when they haven't really. The claims of racism against the Faunus by humans have pretty much been told and not shown with exceptions from team CRDL, Weiss, and Roman. However, these are individual examples mostly and don't really show that this shit happens on a large scale (unless you claim the bystander effect seen when Cardin bullies Velvet by most counts as an example. Even then, it isn't really a good example of bigotry as much as it shows a widespread apathy of the whole situation). 

We are told that the hatred towards Faunus is systemic and intertwined with society. The keyword with that sentence is 'told'. We aren't really shown it by on-screen scenes all that much. However, we have been told off the record that this does exist. I hope that this gets shown better as Volume 3 rolls by. However, I do plan to show this in this story (in my image of it anyways) through both the main story and in the back story of characters from the show and OC characters. Also, I do plan on making Atlas a very bigoted place as much as it is a powerful and technologically advanced kingdom.

As for what I want to make Atlas be like, well, I'll explain on a later date. If anyone wants me to explain more about anything I just said, feel free to message me and I will do just that. Also, no updates for the side story either.

Deal of a Lifetime - No updates again, but I am going to say that I do plan on doing stuff for my version of the AU during the time I am not updating this. Mainly making more things like what I did for Blake's album. 

Parasitic RWBY AU Story - Not much here, besides the fact that it will be multi-chapter and a test to see if I can write serious. 

The Twin Fluffs - These two stories more be the next two stories I will post, and this time should be out this week. Hopefully. Also, a little fun fact, the Nuts and Dolts story is based on something that actually happened to me in real life.

And that will be it. Thanks for reading this update, Wolfe Mollenkopf signing off.

Update 008: New Year, Big Goal

Welcome everyone who reads these (if anyone does anyway) to a new Wolfe updates. Apologies for yet another late upload, but I was out for Tuesday night. And as for Wednesday night, well, New Years. Anyways, home now so I am going to update. First things first, this blog will have a New Years Resolution. For this resolution, I will start the actual writing of Atlas Shrugged. Whether it be a first draft or be it the basic outline of what will happen. Hell, maybe a chapter posted online. Who knows, but that is the resolution. And I want to thank you all for making the last part of this year be something special. You all have no idea how important it is to see how many of you all are loving what I write. Here is the update.

RWBY: Atlas Shrugged/Unnamed Side Story - First things first, the unnamed side story won't be unnamed anymore. I don't think the name will stick. But, it will have a temporally title and will be updated separately from the main story. Anyways, the 'codename' I guess you can call it will be Paying the Price. Ah yes, titles with puns are beautiful. Now, back to focusing on the main story. Currently, I am mapping out the events of the story. Nothing too in detail currently, but it's a map none the rest. Also, due to the fact I plan on having these kinds of scenes, I will be looking up and reading through the CIA Senate Report that was being talked about a couple weeks back. You know, the ones about the 'enhanced interrogation techniques'. Oh boy, my stomach is turning just thinking about it. So yeah, that will be a thing. I am working on the OCs  still as well. I most recently had the idea of making a Snake Faunus based around the story of Medusa that Price 'rescues' from the streets and from racist humans. Also, fun fact to say, Sir Price is no bigot. Not only does he not hate the Faunus people, but he highly respects them. You will see how huge that respect is as the story goes on, as well as from his side story. And as for what I mean by 'rescues', well, I'll explain on a later date.

Deal of a Lifetime - As I previously stated from the last chapter, it might be a while until this is updated. The main reason is that I want to pause it for a moment and plot out an endgame before moving on to the next chapter. I want to know where I'm going with this before I start going. I want to know what is and isn't going to be mentioned in the meeting. I want to properly tie Ozpin back into the story without it seeming out of place. So while I won't call it a hiatus personally (since I am still working on it), it might feel like one to be honest.

Parasitic RWBY AU Story - I am going to be writing this story to go along with the song 'The End' by 'The Doors', which is a 12 minute song. That being said, this will be a long story. Also, while talking to the AU creator about the song, totally slipped my mind to ask them about Sage and Scarlet. I'm awesome.

The Twin Fluffs (Freezerburn/Nuts and Dolts) - Changing things around. Going to make Freezerburn a RWBY Rock one-shot and make the original idea for Freezerburn and make that the Nut and Dolts story. Both should be done by the week, and the Freezerburn will start being worked on today.

I wish you all a happy New Year and thanks for reading, both this and my stories. Wolfe Mollenkopf signing off.

Update 007: Happy Festivus! And Apologies...

Hello everyone, and welcome to my seventh weekly update for this blog. Sadly, this won't be an update really as much as the schedule for the rest of the year. Reason being that a few days ago I had to go to surgery and I spent most of this week recovering from said surgery. Sorry about this,  but I just wasn't in the position to make anything this week. Anyways, this will be my checklist for the rest of this year. 

Finish up and post my RWBY Secret Santa Story

Finish the two-parter of my Deal of a Lifetime story.

Write at least one of my reward stories I promised.

Possibly do a one-shot I have been planning to do on doing. 

Again, sorry for not having any real update on anything this week. Wolfe Mollenkopf signing off.

Update 006: STANDING...

Hello and welcome to the weekly update. This week, I finished two chapters of Deal and... not much else since I have been distracted by being hyped for Phantom Pain by marathoning the cinematic and gameplay trailers like a piece of shit. Not much else really happened in the writing department sadly because of that. And with that, time to get to the actual update. Again, thanks to everyone who reads my stories and who reads these as well.

RWBY: Atlas Shrugged/Unnamed Side Story - Currently designing the OC characters, which is tough to do when you aren't an artist by the way. Also making a plot line of what will happen during each phrase. And yes, this story will have multiple phrases. As for the side story, I am planning out how I want to tell this. I have a great idea for this, but I won't spoil it just in case I end up doing it.

Deal of a Lifetime - This week, two chapters came out! Woo! Also, this story is doing better than expected in every way. I am shocked by how many people are liking it, following it, giving it kudos, etc. I am also shocked by all the positive reviews it has been getting, like holy crap. Thank you all for this. Anyways, also the second half of the two-parter I posted is up, there should only be a few chapters left before this story ends. Also, after this story ends I will wait a bit before I start on the continuation which has no updates this week.

Secret Santa RWBY Story - This story is finished, however I have chosen to wait until it's Christmas to post it since it is a secret santa. 

Parasitic RWBY AU Story - Currently trying to decide how I am going to write Scarlet and Sage since we know jack shit about them. I may just ask the AU creator how they think Sage and Scarlet are like and go from there, since I am basically writing it for him.

Unnamed Freezerburn Fluff - One of the two stories requested of me from the 'spot the reference' thing I did. Already know what this is going to be about. 

Unnamed Nuts and Dolts Fluff - Always wanted to write this, and now I have an excuse. I have no idea how I am going to do this one though.

And that is all, 'til next time this is Wolfe Mollenkopf signing off.

Update 005: Shout-outs and Winter Vacations

Hello everyone, and welcome to Wolfe Mollenkopf's Weekly Updates! Where I promise to post every Tuesday, but I actually technically do it every Wednesday. This week, I published the newest chapter of Deal of a Lifetime (as well as working on the next one and it should be posted in the afternoon) as well as that one-shot that was meant to be posted on Thanksgiving but then shit happened. Overall, a very productive week. I'm proud of myself personally. Also, Arieko from FF.net read my story and loved Deal of a Lifetime so much that she gave it a shout-out on one of her stories and now the followers and favorites on it has doubled. Holy shit. I am still amazed by this, and I thank them again for the shout-out! Also, I am now officially done with the college semester, so now I can pump out more content! Woo! Now, time for the updates!

  RWBY: Atlas Shrugged/Unnamed Side Story - Yeah, I give up on the whole 'pun bashing' thing. Anyways, I am continuing to design my antagonists. Both in physical designing, and in their personalities. I am also planning out how the events of the story will unfold. Special thing here, I am going to be offering something you will not want. If anyone wants to help me design these people, just hit me up and we will find a way to message each other and talk about making OCs and shit. Hell, I'll make you co-writer. That shit looks good on resumes... I think.   

Deal of a Lifetime - Another week, another update. As I stated, this story has been given a spike in followers. Now we have 17 people following this story. Like, holy shit. Thank you all for this. This is just awesome. I will not disappoint with this new update, which will have something that the other chapters haven't had yet. 

Unnamed RWBY Rock Story - No real updates here. Still choosing possible song choices and planning story lines.  

Secret Santa RWBY Story - Will be the next thing I post after the next Deal update. All I can say right now, since, you know, secret.

Parasitic RWBY AU Story - Nothing new on here either, besides the fact that this will likely be multi-shot.

And that is all I have, see you all soon. Wolfe Mollenkopf signing off.

Update 004: While Thinking of What to Title This, I Realized it Would've Been Funnier to Title Last Week's Update as 'Got Rekt'

Hey guys, sorry again about the delay of things. This whole insurance business is taking forever and finals for my college are next week. I know that it has been over a week since I posted any content story-wise, and I do apologize for that. I already have the next chapter of 'Deal of a Lifetime' finished and will upload it in a few hours after I make sure everything is perfect. I hope it will be worth the wait. Also, my wisdom teeth are getting removed on the 19th, so don't anything coming from me during that time. I really do hope this doesn't fuck with my RWBY secret santa which I can't wait to start on. Anyway, other updates!

RWBY: Atlas Shrugged/Unnamed Side Story - This pun is bad, and I feel bad for making it. So yeah, as you know each one of the RWBY girls had their own song that perfectly fit them? Well, I plan on doing something similar for the OCs RWBY will be fighting against in this series. Nothing like animated trailers though, because that takes talent. However, I am thinking about what the 'theme songs' per say would be for my main antagonists. My idea so far is for Sir Price it would have to be Donna Burke's Sins of the Father. I think this song fully encompasses how I plan on making Price's character out to be. As for Ebony, I had a good feeling for Hozier's Take Me To Church but I am not sure yet. I am also working out how Atlas would be like.

Deal of a Lifetime - As stated above, the next update WILL be coming in a few hours. Also, I think this story (especially after how this chapter turned out) I may need to change how I have it labeled, but it will be a good change I promise. No further updates besides I promise the next chapter won't take forever. 

Unnamed RWBY Rock Story - Currently going through what songs RWBY Rock would be playing because I don't just want to point at the official soundtrack and go 'Here you go cockbites, that's RWBY Rock'. Also, as a little side thing, if you think that the story is starting to sway too far away from rock music, feel free to shoot me up a message of you hitting me with a rolled up newspaper.  

Secret Thanksgiving RWBY Story - So, it is almost 4k words and I am half way done. Yeah, the crash has really fucked this story up. Anyway, should be finished and posted this week. After, it is starting to turn OOC for every character involved. Now, on to TWO new stories!

Secret Santa RWBY Story - The hype is real, that is all I can update currently.

Parasitic RWBY AU Story - Oh, this is going to test me greatly. However, everyone who has taken part of this AU before can't wait to see my shit work, so I can now aim to please. Hopefully that makes this story be more successful.

That is it, see you all soon with the next installment of Deal of a Lifetime. Wolfe Mollenkopf signing off.
