    I'm sorry guys but this guy is the funniest western character I've seen on tv. Well, Hop Sing from Bonanza is hilarious but still.

    The man with a mule, Festus Haggen.

    I know I just post some random resources from time to time, and it's mostly songs, but here's something else.

    It's from the Smithsonian Folkways, which is overall a very nice resource for all sorts of music. This particular one is a pdf for a book that's talking about Pete Seeger's favorite folk songs and it's the history of each one. It's like 86 pages total. I haven't read much so far but it's just another good inspiration source.

    Here's also the link for the pdf for Anthology of American Folk Music:

    Ye, the LPDS is quite dusty.


    ChieTheWriter replied · Nov 3, 2017

    Any ideas for some sort of "revolution"? Maybe a writing contest or something.


    Wolfi replied · Nov 3, 2017

    Dusty no more! Ahh, but I like the sounds of that! Except I dunno if I'd want to host it because I'd want to participate in it xD


  • Wolfi replied · Oct 30, 2017

    Uhhh, how 'bout the only one I've seen. Bonanza.

    YOU HAVE TO WATCH THESE.

    I am officially doing a Western. Aussie Style (meaning it's set in 1830s NSW, Australia in the Snowy Mountains). I think I'm crazy. I have no idea what I'm doing. Also, shifters. Because why not. XD

    Wolfi replied · Sep 2, 2017

    Oh my goshhh <33 I'd love to read an Aussie western and with shifters that sounds even more epic. If you're posting the chapters, please tag me! If you're not, I still need to read it somehow : D


    ScarlettFire replied · Sep 2, 2017

    Ikr? I feel like this is a thing that needs to exist. XD If I don't post it, I'll send you the gdoc or wfp link!


    Wolfi replied · Sep 7, 2018

    How's this going along? :3 I saw "Quigley Down Under" a few days ago and remembered this.


    ScarlettFire replied · Sep 7, 2018

    I kinda forgot about it, but it’s always on my list of stuff things to work on. XD

    If you've got a spare hour somewhere, even though I know school things are happening again, I like to listen to this when writing some of the more Western-ish parts of current novel.

    Like when I have all the gun duels and stealing the magical cattle in Texas.

    Wolfi replied · Jun 14, 2017

    Daaaaaayum. I'm jealous. Have you seen Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp? I think it tells his story pretty well. More honestly than Tombstone, anyhow, although I love that one too!
    My claim to westerness is that my great great grandfather was a Texas Ranger! He also published a western book.


    RubyRed replied · Jun 14, 2017

    What's the book called?! (:


  • Wolfi Creator
    Yo @AkeliaTaske post in the RP :3

    I don't think any of the current characters would do this, but if anyone wants to introduce a bad guy, the bartender is up for kills. Whether it's on purpose or on accident.

    Is that a phrase? "Up for kills?"

    Well, now it is.

    ChieTheWriter replied · Apr 24, 2017

    Well Zeke would bust in and probably shoot Drew or drag him out or something. Slade would be after the Marshal, we don't really have too many bad guys who would come in just to shoot the place up.



As my artist’s statement explains, my work is utterly incomprehensible and is therefore full of deep significance.
