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,”.

❝There is only one religion in war, believe me when I tell you it is a godless faith.❞ #questpit #q #agentsguide
Background: A dark volcanic landscape glows with rivers of molten lava under a storm-grey sky.
Text in neon red and white:
“An Agent’s Guide to THE DYING RELIGION — Adult Epic Fantasy 108k — Amelia Thorn.”Background: A burning orange night sky with smoke and sparks rising through the dark.
Left section, bold white-red text labeled “Pitch” reads:
“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 their peace. Now, as mortals race to slaughter the five who remain, the children raised for holy war must decide if the divine deserve saving.”
Right section, red gradient text labeled “Comps” lists:
“Bury Our Bones / In the Midnight Soil / Godkiller / The Starving Saints / Kaos / The Witcher.”Background: Forest fires glowing through dense smoke; embers drift through orange haze.
Main text in glowing red labeled “Excerpt”:
“It was hope, painted bloody, raw, bare. Gods help them, Emmett curses the old habit in that thought, but the revulsion doesn’t silence the echo. Hope like that rarely dies quiet.”
Lower text in red-orange gradient labeled “Tropes”:
“Magic Comes at a Cost / Hero × Villain / Found Family / Gods Pay Their Dues / OwnVoices LGBTQIA+ Rep / Heist into Hell.”Background: Black volcanic rock threaded with glowing magma.
Text in red and white glow presents key story beats:
	•	First Line: “Magic untended festers. Magic forgotten rots.”
	•	First Dialogue: “He’s late.”
	•	First Heartbreak: “Your first mistake was thinking that people like you and I were ever born to do anything but burn.”
	•	First Action: “Blood, light and rot seep out, like a wound failing to clot over, too late to stop the loss.”

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."

❝Magic untended festers. Magic forgotten rots.❞ Kaos x The Witcher x Godkiller #1stLinePit #agentsguide #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.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page. Every box is black with an orange, dashed border, and the boxes for tropes and comps have the appropriate title, partially intersecting the relevant title. The quotes do not.

Magic comes with a priceA villain and hero page for the project.

The hero and villain both have information about the individual characters in two separate black boxes, both with orange dashed borders. The word “hero” and “villain” intersects the relevant boxes (right and left respectively)

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

Villain 

The gods killed all he loved
Out for revenge on the gods
Brainwashed veteran
Waterbender

Reborn as propaganda 
In love with the hero

Hero:
