A guide to SUNFALL, an M/M fantasy. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #LGBT "A voice said, Look me in the stars And tell me truly, men of earth, If all the soul-and-body scars Were not too much to pay for birth." -Robert Frost, A Question

A purple to red gradient with fluffy clouds and an art deco border. Text: A guide to SUNFALL, an M/M Romantic Fantasy complete at 102k words

A red to orange gradient with the text: "The Pitch...The mage-hero Helio is the only thing stopping the Deep from destroying his world. So when he dies at the hands of the deep mage Riptide and wakes inexplicably miles away in the body of a boy named Hadley, he hurries back to the fight he'd left behind. But through Hadley's own past with the Deep, Helio gets to know Riptide and, eventually, grows to love him. It leaves him with a choice: the world he loves, or the deep mage trying to destroy it.

An orange to yellow gradient with more clouds in the background. The text: "The snippet..."

“What did you think of Helio?” Helio asked, trying to look more interested in the orange he was peeling than the question. They sat on the porch, settled in its creakiest chairs, and Helio made a game of rocking to a rhythm in his head.
“He seemed lonely,” James said. “On friendly terms with everyone, but always on his own.”
“Oh,” Helio said.
“By the way, I bought you something,” the man went on, digging in his bag and passing Helio a silver cylinder with a sunstone embedded in the lid. It was a powder box for a girl’s vanity, and Helio frowned at it until James said, “You wind the bottom.”
“Oh!” Helio said again. He wound it, and when he lifted the lid, the box chimed a sweet melody in a minor key. Helio smiled at the start, but as the song went on, he found was something terribly sad about it. Familiar, too, like a press on a fading bruise. He immediately rewound it to press again.
“It’s an old Theian hymn,” James said, watching him closely. “Do you like it?”
“Very much,” Helio said. “I don’t know why, but it makes me feel…Well, I don’t rightly know.” He stared at it a moment longer, then looked up and brightened. “Oh look, here comes Louie! Hello, Louie!”

A yellow to purple gradient with more art deco borders. The heading says "For those who enjoy..." and the first subheading reads: "Character-led melancholy like..." Following this subheading is an image of the cover of Frieren and the 2004 film the Fall. The next subheading says, "Unstoppable and inevitable love like..." Under this heading is a picture of the cover of Heaven Official's Blessing as well as a promotional poster for Hadestown the musical. A third subheading reads "Pastoral prose and witty dialogue like..." Under this heading is a photo of a Robert Frost poetry collection and a promotional poster for the film the Philadelphia Story.

First year university. Add in: 🥰 A not-so-secret crush 🙉 Housing that's never quiet, empty or drama-free 🫢 A drunken confession she can’t take back ❤️‍🩹 Her first sapphic date/dating disaster. All on an anxiety overloaded brain. Lucy’s fine. Stop asking. #Questpit #Q #YA #LGBT #agentsguide

Background image of young woman with hands covering face. Text reads: Fine Means Stop Asking, Upper YA contemporary, Michelle Ogilvy, 76,000 words.

Title: Pitch
Last year, eighteen-year-old Lucy’s anxiety reached new levels and her life fell apart. She’s now desperate to fit back into her old friend group and convince everyone she’s coping just fine on her own. Actually being fine might be impossible with the stress of first-year university, the stream of housemate dramas, and the increasingly obvious crush on her unobtainable female BFF.

Underneath is a subtitle of ‘the housemates’ with four images. The first is two young women with their arms around each other, labelled ‘Jaime - messy BFF/crush’. Second is an excited young man making a lot of noise, labelled ‘Robin - chaotic good BFF’. Third is of a young man with his back turned, looking away, labelled ‘Will – man with a secret’. Last image is of an indistinct figure labelled ‘?? – the secret’.

Title: comps
Three covers of books underneath.

Book 1: Kind of Sort of Fine by Spencer Hall. Text reads: THEME: Finding your place after mental health struggles

Book 2: Unnecessary Drama by Nina Kenwood. Text reads: Setting: First year university in Australia.

Book 3: Then Everything happens at once by M-E Girard. Text reads: Messy emotions: Attraction to your unattainable BFF.

Title: Opening
Text:
Lucy was the last of them to arrive at the house. She had warned the others that she wouldn’t be able to make it until after the movers had been and gone. Not that she was busy. But just the thought of having to deal with all of the coming and going and the mess and the directing of strangers, and… well, she hadn’t had to explain her reasons to Jaime or Robin. And once Will had secured possession of the room with exterior access, he hadn’t particularly cared what anyone else was going to be doing on the day.

At the foot of the driveway, Lucy stopped, staring up at her new residence. It was two-storey, large for a uni student share house, but she knew it would feel smaller once Robin started to fill it with all his friends. Their friends. Another thing for Lucy to get used to.

The exterior was plain, bare brick. Robin had threatened to have it painted in murals, but knowing him, he’d forgotten about that already. There was a small garden that would probably be dead soon as none of them had wanted to take responsibility for it when they’d tried to assign chores. And the letterbox, a slight thing that had been cemented in on a lean because, for some reason, Robin and Will had insisted on putting it in themselves.

It was familiar in the way that it was a place Lucy had been to a number of times, but it didn’t feel like home. She didn’t feel like she was coming home. At what point did a house feel like a home and not some place you were visiting and could leave?

Over a background of chicory flowers: FLOWER FAIRY WIP - Cozy Fantasy Romance
SNIPPET: The human let out a long, low whistle, surveying the garden. Chicory felt a swell of pride for a moment. Yes, human, look upon his garden and see the beauty! See the wonder! Look at all the hard work Chicory put in! All the plants, bugs, and animals are so well cared for! The garden is a wonder! A masterpiece! A—
“What a mess!” The human laughed, running a gloved hand through his hair. “They weren’t kidding about it being a fixer-upper. Oh well, I wanted a project. The gods provide.”
Chicory was stunned for a moment, too shocked to do anything but watch as the human turned back towards the cottage. Then anger boiled through him, burning him up like he had been laying in the sun at the height of summer.
How dare he? How dare this interloper… this stranger… this… this… this human come to Chicory’s garden and insult it like that? The garden was not a mess! It was not as neat as some gardens, granted, but Chicory had been taking very good care of it. He was proud of this garden.

THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE x CHARMED 🔮 A selfish psychic is challenged by her spirit guides to finally see the otherworldly connection with her (very platonic) best friend or risk losing her gifts — forever 🪄 #QuestPit #Q #A #R #PN #S

Purple/pink ombre zodiac background with gold at the top. Small golden page break, with the book title in ombre yellow/orange DEATH TO THE LOVERS AND THE FOOL over top of clouds in the middle. Text under the title: 84k Speculative Romcom by Brittney Joan, Agent's Guide. Two deep plum tarot cards in the bottom left, one with a sun and one with an eye.

Purple/pink ombre zodiac background with gold along the sides. THE PITCH . Pitch in a sans-serif font: Jade Lockwood is the Midwest’s most in-demand tarot reader, with a months-long waitlist and a reputation for channeling both the cards and the dead. She’s built a thriving metaphysical shop, but she’s also emotionally checked out, allergic to commitment, and hiding her feelings for her (very platonic) best friend, Elliot. When she blows off an unscheduled, desperate client for margaritas, a woman shows up the next day and refuses to leave until Jade reads for her—only to reveal herself as Jade’s spirit guide. Her ultimatum: complete a series of increasingly personal tarot-based tasks or suffer dire consequences. As the lessons force Jade to confront the feelings she’s avoided for years, she’s faced with an impossible choice—her connection to the spirit realm or the person she loves. And her inability to decide might just magically drive Elliot into another woman's arms...

Purple/pink ombre zodiac background with gold along the sides. THE VIBES at the top of the page in ombre yellow/orange text. Two polaroid images of the TV shows “Charmed” and “Sabrina the Teenaged Witch” as comparative media at the top. Golden page break. Four crystal balls in the middle with star circles pointing to a specific comparative book title with the image. The first, Friends to Lovers, pointing to “This Spells Love” by Kate Robb. The second, Meddling Spirit Guides, pointing to “The Love of My Afterlife” by Kirsty Greenwood. The third, Raw Look at Grief, pointing to “The Seven Year Slip” by Ashley Poston. The fourth, Plus-Size FMC, pointing to “Zom Rom Com” by Olivia Dade.

Same background as others. OPENING PAGE at the top. Writing sample: the page in ombre yellow/orange text. Two deep plum tarot cards in the top corners, one with a sun and one with an eye. Golden page break. Then, the following text in Times New Roman inside of a white-colored, rounded-corner box: Death is staring at me.
Rather, the Death card is staring at me for the third time this reading. I can’t possibly hide it from my regular client, Frannie, again. She’s been on a journey of rebirth for a while and is at the precipice. The precipice of a mental breakdown or a breakthrough is yet to be determined.
I arrange the cards, taking in Death, The Tower, and Eight of Pentacles in reverse. When I shift the spread, the navy celestial tablecloth snags on my nail, toppling over a labradorite curvy goddess carving. Biting my cheek, I flip another. Five of Swords. Shit.
“What? What’s wrong? Why are you making that face? That’s never a good face.” Frannie’s round, hazel eyes are filled with what I’ve come to know as anticipatory terror.
Poor thing is an anxious wreck. I’m trying to guide her, not send her into a doom spiral about her life. “You know these cards aren’t omens or premonitions. They’re pillars of guidance, leading you along your path. This one…” I sigh, cracking my knuckles, rings scraping against my dry skin. I have got to restock my lotion. Eleven minutes left on the timer and twenty to my last client. Maybe I’ll stop by Sephora before dinner.
“Jade?”
Oh, right. The reading. I shake my head. “The Death ca—”
“Death? Please, no. Anything but Death.”
“The Death card,” I repeat, “means your cycle is ready to renew. Paired with The Tower? Well, it’s time. Your spirit guides aren’t waiting for you to feel ready—they’re pushing you over the edge. This is rock bottom. Know what’s on the other side is a brighter version of you.”
We’ve hit rock bottom over our last three readings, but maybe this time will stick. [cont]

Text: Pluck by Sierra Moeykens. Pride & Prejudice x Howl's Moving Castle x Graceling

An illustrated lady in a Regency era dress with large black wings over a ballroom background.

Text: The Pitch
Nineteen-year-old Lucy Korvas has worse problems than complying with high society’s tedious etiquette — she must steal a diamond necklace from the Duchess of Thistal, or her cursed father will perish.
In an alternate, magical Regency era where ladies and gentlemen with improper magic are shunned from high society, Lucy Korvas has hidden a pair of giant, unladylike crow wings beneath her dresses for years, but tonight she risks exposing them to save her cursed father. She needs that diamond necklace to afford his cure. How dastardly it is, then, when she discovers soft-spoken Lord Simon pilfering his own mother’s jewelry first.
But when Lucy and Simon are cursed while trying to steal the necklace, Lucy slowly transforms into a crow and Simon starts dissolving into flower petals. Lucy must find a cure while posturing as the presentable, composed lady that she isn't before she loses her cursed father, the shy gentleman she's becoming smitten with, and her humanity.

NAUSICAÄ X FF7 Hana is sure she’s the chosen one, even if her magic is resisting her and the previous chosen one insists she isn’t. But if it isn’t her destiny, then no one can save the world from poisonous dark magic, endless wars, and powerful demons. #Questpit #A #F #Q

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.

Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.

A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!”
The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death.
“Magic should never return.”
After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended.
Sent him back to his body.
