💙MARTYR! x THE SHAPE OF WATER 💙 A young artist must figure out what draws—and keeps— her mother in the local pond to save her from the town's ostracization. But the water calls out to her, too... #questpit #q #a #u #f

An upmarket fantasy novel: Nymph's Pond
“My grandfather and my dad both, they wanted this place to become a café. Where people could chat and talk to a really, really nice scenery. Peaceful and quiet, with a little koi fish—” she made a little wave with her hand to indicate swimming fish. “And so I want to take up that dream where they left it off. I want to open the Worthington Gardens. And this place, I thought of calling Nymph’s Pond.”

The Pitch:
Damla needs the perfect portfolio to get into art school—and her mother would make the ideal subject. Only her mother refuses, escaping to the mayor’s pond, dwelling there despite the family not wanting her to. But what keeps her here?
How can Damla convince her mother to sit for her?
And what is it with the water that calls out to them both?

Snippet:
She decided to approach the figure.
The figure had a stillness to it that was familiar. But there was also an energy to it, one that Damla palpably felt like dew on her skin, if dew was covered in metal. When the figure saw Damla approach, it stood even straighter, opening its shoulders wide, as if bracing for whatever it thought Damla would do. She stopped then as well, by this point quite close to the pond’s edge, ahead of even Stella. She could slide into the pond’s surface since the water had receded quite the distance to gain the height that it did, but doing so — the thought of doing so — made her feel cold all over. And there was this wave, just above her head. She felt as if she’d stepped into a shadow.
“Tell me this is a dream,” Damla said.
The water told her no such thing. Of course it didn’t. The kind of reality that Damla wanted was only available for Jazmine. She got this instead. Something hard and stony settled inside of her. She couldn’t reach to hit it. Her throat locked up when she wanted to scream. The metallic dew on her face and neck made it hard to move. If this was the sublime, it was the ugliest shade of silver she’d ever seen.

A trope map graphic featuring the THE DISTANCE BETWEEN STARS AND SALT cover with arrows around it. From top left and moving clockwise, the arrows read:

* Non-MC chosen one
* Sapphic love and tragedy
* Finding your purpose
* Sailing across a drowned world
* People descended from the stars
* Malta-inspired setting

An advertisement flier featuring various sea-based images.

"The Distance Between Stars and Salt | A Sapphic Maltese-Inspired Seafaring Fantasy Novel" is listed at the top, followed by two circular images. The first depicts an aurora borealis in the night sky, while the second depicts an overhead view of ocean waves. Beside this is an image of luzzu boats in a harbor. Below this is an image of rocky outcrops within an ocean. Beside this is "There was and there was not, in the oldness of time, a star-born woman and her hapless wife who ventured on an arduous quest...". Below this is an overhead view of a rocky shore. Beside this is a four-panel color palette.

#BluePit 📖 #M #A #OV #LGBT #WF A lonely middle-aged academic falls under suspicion after her best student vanishes - but proving her innocence is complicated with her growing connection to her rival’s unconventional daughter. An age gap lesbian love story within a dark academia mystery.

A low saturation moodboard of: a English village scene in the fog, a woman seated and covering her face with her hands, a dimly lit lecture theatre, an out of focus woman in the forest, a collection of lit candles, a person in a hoodie in a field at night giving the finger, a screen cap of Carnival of Souls, two people facing one another either side of a door, a crow perched on a tree in autumn.

Some people like to weaponise the language of "accountability" and "constructive criticism" when what they really mean is "submit to me and my authority" and when you naturally assert your autonomous viewpoint you will be pathologised and sometimes excommunicated.
