Ah cool! And mkay, I'll DM you 🙂

Aw thanks, I'm always looking for CPs! I like a mix of cozy games (on switch) and simulation games. I just got INZOI and have been playing that like crazy. Also the occasional single player RPG, like Dragon's Age. What about you?

Ahh thanks so much! I'm always on the lookout for CPs too. ☺️ I took huge break from crocheting but just recently picked it up again. I've got so many projects to finish!

Hey #CRPfireflies, I'm Abby! I'll be working on my revpit entry, a diverse dark fantasy reimagining of Alice in Wonderland meets Kill Bill: a black Alice is after revenge on the characters of wonderland who are mushroom drug lords. I'm from NY, living in Houston. I WFH, garden, game, & crochet!

Same! Yeah I saw that series too, she covered the different types of outliners so everyone could find a system they liked!

#revpitwaiting #revpit I’m a mix of both, a plantser! I like to get going with a light outline to start. It’s very general with not much detail, more of a guideline to follow that is very flexible. Then I discovery write on the many parts the outline doesn’t cover

Wow congrats! Can't wait to read this!

Abby Jackson @abbyjwrites.bsky.social · 31/03/2025

#revpitwaiting I sadly don't have any CPs, but am on the lookout for some! If anyone also writes SFF/H and wants to swap pages, hit me up!

#revpit #revpitwaiting HUGE shoutout to my Pitch War's Class & their annual trash swap for all the query letter help and book feedback. Without ya'll my Alice in Wonderland x Kill Bill book would not be what it is today. Thank you to my alpha reader @jaqevans.com and my beta reader Suzy Darlington!

Oh okay, thanks for clarifying. I knew this was a thing forever ago but I've been in my writerly cave for so long I didn't know it was still going on! Super unfortunate, considering my current book 🙃 (also invite me to that rant if you ever get to it lol)

I think I'm more confused now (which may just be my sick brain lol). You're saying trad pub rejects A crossover for YA crossover? If a book is solidly adult (in themes, content, and MC age) but reads fast paced and "vibey" like YA, how would an author market that in a query?

saaame doesn't my immune system know I'm trying to wait for revpit in peace 😭

#revpitwaiting Missed a few of these (been sick), gotta catch up Among Us inspi' Sci-Fi Horror A last ditch space expedition is thrown together to save a dying Earth using resources from an abandoned underwater planet, but a sabotaged ship and shapeshifting goop monster onboard hijack the mission 👀

Photo collage for a work in progress sci-fi horror book. Text reads: Imposters Among Us. There are nine pictures, some of space (planets, stars, galaxy), some of black goop (on hands, dripping in water, etc.), some of faces (one pointing, another looks ghostly), and one of a dark underwater image.

I feel this. The first half of my Chapter 1 has been the hardest to nail down for me and I keep tinkering with it. There's so much at stake as far as writing a good hook!

Day 5 #revpitwaiting #revpit Hard to pick but I settled on one of my first few favorites in Act 1. For context, Alyss confronts the ex that's tasked with stopping her revenge.

Image shows text from a book snippet. It reads: He flashed a pocket knife. “I gotta take you back, Alyss. I’m sorry. We can still end this well.”
Her breath was a bitter laugh. “What are you gonna do with that?” She recognized a shallow threat when she heard one and stepped closer in his silence. Her fingers wrapped around his fist. “You don’t remember what you taught me? You pop it here.” She gently pushed the blade against her stomach, then angled it right under the ribs. “Or here.” She took the blade to her throat, gripping him tight as her eyes tore into his. “You want to stop me, that’s what it takes.”

Day 4 #revpitwaiting: Did I have 3 other moodboards I already made for my #revpit book I could've used? Yes. Did I make a 4th moodboard because it's fun and totally not an addiction? Also yes. I was trying to capture the vibe my book has of "pops of color in a dark gritty setting" 🤔

$Photo collage of a mix of images in either black and white or colorful blue, pink, and purple hues. Images include a close-up of a black panther's face, creepily posed hands with long nails, abstract patterns (one looks like balloons, some look like blurred colorful glitter, one looks like blue and purple smoke, and one looks like a fractal diamond), a teddy bear, wilted flowers, broken glass, one close up image of a black woman's face with eyes closed and eye make-up, one image of a black woman with purple braids throwing her hair back with a smile, and an image of people partying under colorful lights. There is text reading "The Macabre Murders of Alyss Mitchell" at the center.$

I was thinking of getting that one! But yes, I can confirm the emotion thesaurus is great 👍🏾

Day 3 #Revpitwaiting: Meet Alyss! She's a 26-year-old black American with Trinidadian roots. Part party-girl, part hitman with a machete, she's a disaster and a half, and I love her 😭

A character collage for Alyss Mitchell with text. Photo 1: a black woman with purple braids; Photo 2: a dancing crowd; Photo 3: a couple kissing; Photo 4: model wearing a denim outfit, opening denim jacket to reveal black crop top; Photo 5: a group of people (hands only shown) toasting drinks. There are also two small white mushrooms overlaying the center of the photos. An excerpt at the bottom displays a narrative about partying, alcohol, and self-perception.
