No one seems to have noticed I’m a talentless hack masquerading as a writer, and I intend to ride that train as far as I can.

No one expected orphans to survive the war to end magic, let alone win it. But triumph saw a God bleed out on the altar of peace. Now, as mortals race to slaughter the five who remain, the children raised for holy war must decide if the divine deserve saving. #questpit #f #q
Alt text: Dark fantasy moodboard in a 3x3 collage. Images include a person underwater facing a giant whale, a rider silhouetted against fire, hands reaching from dirt, burning mountains, a skull in smoke, a lone figure before a burning village, a shadowed person lying down, a fiery close-up eye, and hands reaching toward blue lightning. Text reads: “Do you know what it costs? To be loved by a God.” and “Grief makes monsters of mothers,”.

May I introduce to you, the anti agent’s guide for The Dying Religion. #unhingedpit
A neon pink inferno burns across a dark, liquid surface, with sparks and embers flying into a pitch-black sky. In bold glowing serif text at the center it reads:
“AGENT’S AVOIDANCE GUIDE: THE DYING RELIGION.”
Beneath that, in all-caps white text:
“Brought to you by the unholy trinity of God complexes, Emotional Trauma, and Daddy issues.”A dark forest is lit by surreal glowing pink embers scattered across the ground, giving the entire scene an eerie, post-apocalyptic vibe. Overlaid in all-caps white text:
“In a world where therapy is expensive but divine wrath is government funded, two underqualified gays and a himbo must weaponise blasphemy, a chronic lack of survival instincts and generational trauma to save the Gods. Again.”

A aesthetic in tones of lava red, black, and ash. Images include molten lava flowing across land, a volcano erupting into smoke, a waterfall of fire pouring off a cliff, hands crackling with magical lightning, and a deep red rose with scorched petals.

Overlaid text reads:

“Magic was not a wound to cauterise but a limb to amputate.”behind which very faint is a silhouette before a burning building. 

“And so the continent turned on what remained of the Gods.” behind which very faint is a a winged figure falling through the clouds. 

“And began to cut.” behind which very faint is a trail of blood trekking through snow towards a river.

Blasphemous, batshit crazy high fantasy brought to you by a chronically sleep deprived pansexual who really ought to be under some kind of supervision. Consider yourselves warned. #unhingedpit #f #wip
The background is a man in the water pointing a middle finger toward the camera. It is overlaid with a darkish purple

“Reasons why THE DYING RELIGION f*cking sucks”

Magic isn’t power. It’s a parasite.
The gods are *ssholes.
I rip religion a new one.
The MC and Villain are in love and very angsty, but no kiss.
So much cast diversity in terms of LGBTQIA, disabled and people of colour the Mango Mussolini would pop a vein.
The prose is so purple Thanos asks for skincare tips.
I’m the one writing it and I am, at best, mentally unstable.”

My Accountability thread for #WRITETOBERSUNFEST Starting word count of 22,704. I’m hoping to write 1k a day to end up half way through this manuscript!
n aesthetic divided into 8 diagonal parts, at the centre on a black box is the quote “do you know what it costs to be loved by a god?”

The images are as follows, described from top left and following around in a clockwise manner,
- a man crouched to the ground, covering his ears.
- a dragon setting ablaze a town
- a man struck through the chest by lightning
- a ship afloat on the waters, on fire
- an army split down the middle to create a path
- an eye with fire burning in place of the iris 
- a volcanic erupting 
- old, rusted clocks

The Dying Religion - Kaos x Witcher x Witcher No one expected orphans to survive the war meant to end magic, least of all win it. Victory’s cost? The death of their God. ❝Your first mistake was thinking that people like you and I were ever born to do anything but burn.❞ #questpit
An aesthetic in a 3x3 format, photos in column 1, row 1 & 2, and column 3, row 2 & 3 are divided by a torn scrap of paper with a little quote on both. These are described going from top left to top right and so on for each row. 

A silhouette stood before a wall of ocean, a whale in the waters. 
A silhouette on horseback, riding through flames. 
A hand half buried by dirt, twined with vines and branches.
Meteors crashing into a hillside and town.
A skull partially buried in dirt. 
A silhouette stood hunched over, watching a distant fire. 
A hooded figure and an unclothed man, his soul being sucked out dementor [eeew] style. 
The close up shot of an eye, fire replacing the iris.
Hands held partially apart, electricity flickering between them.


For column 1, row 1 & 2 the intercepting quote is "do you know what it costs to be loved by a God?"
For column 3, row 2 & 3 the intercepting quote is "Grief makes monsters of mothers."

Day 1 - #WriteToberSpringFest Welcome to my accountability thread for WritetoberSpringFest. I decided I want to be kind to myself because honestly I never am, and have given myself the (still will probably fail) aim of 300 words a day this month. Not to brag - already nailed.

🎉ANNOUNCEMENT TIME🎉 So excited to get to say that I have another book coming out AND that you get to start reading it in just a matter of weeks! BITTERSWEET is a queer, adult Romance ft a trans LI so hot it’ll make a t*rf cry.
Text shows a yellow background with three pink boxes down one side. Each box has a different image over the top: a trans pride flag, a ginger cat and a pink piping bag. Pink text reads ‘Bittersweet: a queer romance about food, flirting and the healing power of queer love. Subtext reads: new chapters weekly on my pay what you can patreon’ Image shows a sunset with white text transposed on top of it. The text reads: Star baker Lenny just left her fiancé, her city and her life of awkwardly B-list celebrity. 

Carey just became the U.K.’s first trans chef to win a Michelin star. 

Sparks may fly the first time they meet but safe to say, these two are not on the same page. Throw in a pride brunch in peril, the queer found family Lenny never had, the world’s most awful cat and a book proposal that won’t write itself and it looks like these two friends with benefits aren’t ever leaving their hookup phase. But any good baker knows it only takes a little bit of sweetness to fix all that bitter…’

The Dying Religion - KAOS x WITCHER x GODKILLER No one expected orphans to survive the war to end magic, instead they won it. Victory’s cost? The death of their God. “Do you know what it costs to be loved by a God?” “Tell me, how’s it pay to be feared by one?” #YouDeservepIt #agentsguide #A #F
The title cover to an agents guide for the project.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.

The words 

“An Agent’s guide to” - in glowing orange surrounded by a black box.

“The Dying Religion” - in an echo effect in black and white font surrounded by an orange glow.

“Adult epic fantasy” - in glowing orange surrounded by a black box.The pitch page for the project. The pitch itself is in a large black box with dashed orange borders, the word pitch intersects with the box and is in a black and white echoing font.

The pitch is:

No one expected orphans to survive the war 
meant to end magic, least of all win it. 
But victory’s price? The death of their God.

Now war returns to a still healing continent, 
the enemy intent on slaughtering 
the five remaining Gods.

and the children raised as Holy-War cannon
fodder must decide if they’re worth saving.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.The comps & tropes page for the project.

An aesthetic described from top left to bottom right

My name - Amelia Thorn
A man crouching in shadows before a fallen body.
Two hands holding a gun pointed to one set's chest.
A hand dipping into grey waters. 
An army with a path dividing them down the middle.
A silhouette falling through the clouds. 
Two men in long-coats walking away from the point of view of the camera.
A hand bound with rope and underwater.
A man with shadows pooling from his person.
The title of the Novel, "The Dying Religion."
A hand with blue electricity running through the  veins.
Horses struggling to keep their heads above the tide.
A man holding a gun. 
A man hunched on the ground, covering his ears while a cannon goes off in the background.
The book's comps, "The Witcher x The Sandman"

The Dying Religion No one expected orphans to survive the war meant to end magic, let alone win it. Victory’s cost? The death of their God. When war returns, intent on slaughtering the remaining gods, the boys raised as Holy-War cannon-fodder must decide if they’re worth saving. #P2Ppit #f #UW
