Snippets:

His hunger transcends anything as simple as lust. A perfect replica of my own.
Our appetite goes beyond the physical. What we starve for is not the body, but the soul.
Spirits, which I'm certain, have known each other for millennia—longing and finding one another, again and again against all odds.
Nothing can come between what is immaterial.
Even less so when it is destined
A divine homecoming.
He is the vessel of my existence. The missing half that completes me. There is no him without me. And without him, there is no me.
-
And how do I tell him I'd gladly crawl beneath his armor, inside his clothes and past his skin? Fight myself through sinews and bone, every ligament and essence that makes him him, and live on solely to keep his soul free of any pain?
Caretaker of his soul for eternity.
-
A touch, as soft as a feather.
The dull edges of fingernails.
Deliberate and as exquisitely slow as molasses.
I arch into these luxuries like a cat wanting for more.
Hum at the whispery strokes as they comb through my scalp, down my hair, in pursuit of my jaw and finally my décolleté.
I know it's him.
Scent him like a vampire would sweet blood.

WimpyKid X Goosebumps Living in the shadow of his chaos-gremlin older brother, an 11yo finds his voice when a fart-powered, body-snatching witch kidnaps his Abuela & threatens to curse their town into oblivion. #QuestPit #Q #MG #F #SomethingWickedThisWaySmells #CinematicNotSilly

Mock-up book cover for The Curse of the Fart Witch by Rae Law. Tag line "Something Wicked This Way Smells". An evening street with lit up houses, green gas coiling upwards, there are a number of oversized alien-looking spiders (about the size of dogs - sentient barking spiders) throughout the image.
Flags: Reluctant hero, sibling redemption, spooky humour (cinematic, not silly), kids vs supernatural threat, sentient minions, Goonies style ensemble cast.

An excerpt from a sentient Barking Spider's journal - the spider is British gentry and pompously complains about the witch's promise of exquisite stink not being fulfilled and how the locals have spritzed him with a rosemary-mint abomination.

ASHES…SUN ➕ HORIZON 0 DAWN When a machine god severs the world from ancient nanotech, two engineer priests, a blademaster & her warrior-poet twin must hunt it for a cure—and revenge. Failure will doom the world to divine wrath. Success will be deadly. #QuestPit #Q #A #SF #F

A giant spaceship hovers over a dusty, walled fantasy cityscape. In the foreground, two figures stand in shadow looking out over the scene. The words "An Agent's Guide to CASCADE, by Gus Ryer" is along the top. His website, gusryer.com, is below.

A slide with metadata and story elements for CASCADE:

Genre: Science Fiction with Fantasy Elements
Wordcount: +-130,000

It shows the book covers for the following:
ASHES OF THE SUN, Django Wexler
THE ARCHIVE UNDYING, Emma Mieko Candon
ELDER RACE, Adrian Tchaikovsky
NOTES FROM THE BURNING AGE, Claire North
Ps5's Horizon Zero Dawn

Below that are the following phrases:
Found family
Failed terraforming
A vast, hidden history
Nanotech magic system
Epic fantasy quest in a sci-fi world
Ancient mechanical gods
Arachnid mammals & guard drones
Sword (1) vs. Railguns (lots)

$A warrior woman with a winged helmet, armor, cape, and spear is along the right side of the image, fractured into triangles. Part of the following pitch is along the left: Lendi never asked to be a God Keeper—one of the engineer-priests who command ancient nanotech. Abandoned on their temple doorstep and raised under their strict thumb, she longs to escape. She almost gets her chance when an ancient machine god crashes to the planet in a blaze of fire. But, instead, Lendi is dispatched far away—alongside her devout friend—to investigate the disappearance of a remote village’s Keeper. And she’ll be tracked. In that village, Sedna has no patience for their Keeper’s rules or mysticism, especially since the fool vanished. She’s more concerned with defending her people with her warrior-poet twin. But, when a flood of malfunctioning nanites devours her town, Sedna and her brother are left with nothing but each other—and vengeance. As the four converge...$

Previously dominated by New World Corporation, the franchised development of pseudoterra worlds is slated to be the hot market sector of the twenty-fifth century.
-Excerpt from InvestSyder: Stellar Ed., June 15, 2398

The streets of Mahyan never fully slept. Night’s darkness, not yet broken by either the sun’s rise or the blinding, baleful Eye of Toros, wrapped Lendi more completely than her robes. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that eyes were on her. She wanted nothing more than to run.
An eager vendor barred her way with his stringy arm. “A fine morning calls for a fine meal, miss.” He smiled and fanned out a selection of skewered mutton and whalemeat wrapped in sea grass. Pungent, spiced oil dripped onto the dusty street.

$BABEL ON CALLISTO Querying February 2025 @saraduranauthor sara.duran@bsky.social COMPS The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler, labeled “isolated research station” and “philosophical alien threat.” The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw, labeled “queer, visceral horror” and “love as a consuming force.” The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei, labeled “psychological unraveling” and “fracture under mission pressure.” PITCH “On a lunar prison outpost, two exiled men uncover a cosmic presence waking beneath the ice. As their uneasy alliance against it twists into something tender and terrifying, they are confronted with the one thing they never expected to find on a dead moon: a reason to live. But the ice is thinning.” TASTE “Neither spoke as Elias bypassed the security protocol on the keypad. The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall. They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias’s imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—the time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens. As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction: how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.”$

Meet the MCs from my cozy fantasy, Project.Greenfield! #QuestPit #W #F #Writing #AmWriting #Writesky #WritingCommunity

Samantha (Sam):

"There. There was a little taste of the fire I was keeping in me my whole life."

A 14-year-old half-sylvan, half-human girl who’s just trying to appear normal in a world where her other half is shunned. She has a strange connection with nature that she doesn’t quite understand. Extremely closed-off and untrusting, always carefully constructing her words around other people.

She can be very persuasive and sarcastic when she needs to be — both traits she gets from her older sister, and best friend, Tara.

Despite the unbothered exterior she tries so hard to maintain, on the inside, she secretly wishes for something more. She’s stubborn and has anger issues.

A moodboard for Sam featuring nine photos in a 3x3 grid shape. From left to right, top to bottom:
1. Close up shot of a pointy elf-like ear. Blonde hair, with a braid running through it is also visible.
2. A collection of potted ferns with a sign in front of them that reads, “FEEL FREE TO TALK TO THE PLANTS. THEY UNDERSTAND.”
3. A hand holding up a knitting project in progress. Yarn and a device playing a video are in the background.
4. Wilting sunflowers.
5. A girl looking up at the sky. She has blonde hair and a flower crown on.
6. Close up shot of someone running their hands through their medium-length blonde hair.
7. Close up of a green sweater vest with a white shirt underneath.
8. A girl reads a book in a grassy clearing.
9. Close up of a closed eye. Lots of freckles can be seen on the skin surrounding it.

Mitali:

“Home. What a strange word.”

A 14-year-old orphaned boy who’s just trying to survive with his older brother after the war. Plagued with nightmares from what recently happened, Mitali still hasn’t moved on from the grief of losing his parents and his friend.

Extremely loyal, kind, and selfless, Mitali hates burdening anyone else with his problems. Though he used to be a loud and very talkative boy, he’s often quiet and somber after what happened.

He’s very sentimental and often gets stuck in his own mind.

All he really wants is things to go back to the way they were before the war — but he knows that’s not going to happen.

A moodboard for Mitali featuring nine photos in a 3x3 grid shape. From left to right, top to bottom:
1. A person with short hair sits up in their bed. The picture suggests the person might be worried or having trouble sleeping.
2. A blurred outline of a person running through the woods.
3. A building with graffiti on it that says, “THIS WAS HOME.”
4. A shadow of someone with two twin braids.
5. Close up shot of someone with dark hair, brown skin, and brown eyes.
6. A hand holding loosely onto the arm of a teddy bear.
7. A hand wearing fingerless gloves with a sparrow gently on top of it.
8. Close up shot of a tattered sweater that’s full of holes.
9. A blown-up building in black and white.

A moodboard featuring nine photos in a 3x3 grid shape. From left to right, top to bottom:

1. A shot from the back of a person wrapping their arm around another person. They’re both leaning on each other, while sitting down. They appear to be next to a river or pond and sitting on grass.
2. Hands holding up a flower crown.
3. A close-up of an elf-like, long pointy ear. Colorized to be almost black and white.
4. A hand holding up dirt with what appears to be parts of a plant. Below it a patch of dirt with more green plant parts can be seen.
5. A wooden sign, pointing to the right, with big letters that say, “HOPE.”
6. A hand being stuck in water. The water seems to have dirt and some debris in it. I interpret it as a river.

Short Pitch:

Set in a war-torn country. An orphaned boy and his older brother feel like everyday is a struggle and a reminder of what they lost. Until one day, when they get the opportunity to move to Greenfield — a small, rustic village on the outskirts of the country and a chance at a real home.

There, the boy meets Sam — a mysterious, closed-off girl with pointy ears. Together the two kids realize that facing their internal fears might not be so scary if they don’t have to do it alone.

THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH x SAPPHIC Rhea Ripley-esque grumpy and the sunshine priestess who kidnaps her. 💥magic & consequences 🏳️‍🌈queer found family 🌸powerful women 🏰slavic elements 💔forced proximity quest 🌌gods and cults ⚔️battling propaganda #Q #A #F #questpit #agentsguide

A dark, blue themed collage. Is says: An Agent's Guide to The Earth-Shattering God. A 87,000 word adult fantasy novel by Lucia Judinova. In the middle is a veiled, mysterious woman, the sea angry behind her. Then a cropped picture of angry eyes, a clipart of a dagger and a vial. A quote that says: The feminine is not dead. Nor is she sleeping. Angry, yes. Seething, yes.

A pitch. The background is brown and white themed, dark, a group of women from the back, all wearing white robes. It says: On the 100th anniversary of the gods' banishment, a common thief, anny Jame, accidentally uses her divine, elemental power and garners the attention of a ruthless cult wanting to bring the gods back. The priestess they send is everything she is not. Bianca is infuriating and beautiful, but mostly brainwashed by her Order. When Bianca learns Danny is her ticket to restoring the gods to their rightful place, she magically binds them together, forcing anny onto a reluctant quest to gather objects infused with godly
essence.

The background is dark and blue, a hallway, some pillars. There are comps: The Knight and the Moth, The Priory of the Orange Tree, Sweet & Bitter Magic, Godkiller, Six of Crows, A Dark and Drowning Tide. There is also a snippet fron the novel: Her vision tunneled. Moments before Danny passed out, the woman finally hurried closer. "So sorry!" she called, getting nearer. The pain receded and Danny collapsed to the ground, scraping her elbow. "I wanted to see if it worked. Terribly sorry about that. I'm Bianca." "Don't... care," Danny pushed through gritted teeth. Aftershocks of pain rocked her body, muscles tensing and unclenching
"I had no other choice, Im afraid." Bianca knelt at her side. The rage channeled in Danny's gaze did not scare her off.She had the nerve to smile down at her. "You are a Link. A true, living and breathing Link. How wonderful to meet you." A blinding grin spread, showing incisors bent slightly to the sides. "We'll do great things together. Divine things, Daniela, absolutely divine."

A dark collage: a woman raising rocks in the air, around a picture of a satin white robe, next to it a sweet, happy woman smiling, with long, blond curls. On the other side a picture of a medieval mercenary-looking outfit. Leather, boots, a dagger. Beneath a picture of a serious woman with short dark hair, face a little scratched up and bloody. Over the pictures, are the tropes and themes is bold blue lettering: girls supporting girls (rights and wrongs), powerful women, queer found family, sapphic love, forced proximity quest, battling propaganda and secret societies, magic stolen from gods with consequences, 'enemies to would kill for you' ragtag crew.
