Feral/About

This is Zaffie's new series. :D It is a trilogy, and revolves around the lives of four Clans living in Australia. I've tried to set a series in Australia before (see Beyond) but this isn't a collab and so will rely solely on my own experience of life 'down under'.

The titles of the stories are based on a very well-known poem about Australia by a woman named Dorothea Mackellar. She travelled to England from Australia to have a wider range of life choices (bigger country (population-wise) bigger chances) and to learn about her heritage, but discovered that contrary to her beliefs she had an absolute love of Australia and she became very homesick. So she wrote poems... as you do. xD Most Australians will know a few lines of the poem's second verse, which goes like so.

I love a sunburnt country

A land of sweeping plains

Of ragged mountain ranges

Of droughts and flooding rains

So you can see where my inspiration for the titles came from. xD If you want to read the whole poem, you should look it up (it's very good) - it's called 'My Country'.

Hope you enjoy!
