A fox demon bard seeking to become human. A demon hunter with a wish of his own. And a race to the top of a wish-granting mountain in this Asian-inspired romantic fantasy where love might just be the deadliest obstacle of all. #QueerPit #A #FR #F

Dark academia x DIY punk Determined to have one last memorable summer after college graduation, best friends Kat and Molly must navigate toxic men, small town secrets, and the Appalachian gutter punk scene without losing themselves, or each other. #BluePit #Q #A #NA #OV #LGBT #BluePit📖

On a pale floral background, surrounded by line drawings of flowers and mushrooms, text reads ‘An agent’s guide to This Used To Be Home by Grace E. Ludlow! 94,000 words contemporary literary fiction’. Below on a stained napkin reads ‘Best friends Kat and Molly look forward to one last summer together in their small college town before going their separate ways. Kat works at the town diner and ponders her future while Molly accepts an exclusive internship with a top entomology professor- an opportunity that can kick start her grad school experience. Howeer, when a mysterious man whose handsome face hides a checkered past takes the open line cook position at the diner, the girls’ lives are irrevocably changed. Seduced by his carefree gutter punk lifestyle, the girls must navigate toxic men and the systems that protect them, redefining their identities post-college, and their own complicated relationship to make it through the summer without losing themselves or each other’.

On a white background, a tan piece of paper holds a text block which reads “The town of Charlesburg, Virginia died in the summers.
Well, not really, but like most other towns centered around a major university, about three quarters of the population did leave after graduation weekend. May lay heavy on the town like frosting on a cinnamon roll, the syrupy-sweet heat melting into the valley and running through the streets. The buses, typically so punctual during the semester, ran a limited schedule, leaving Katlyn Fredricks to walk the half mile from the apartment she shared with her roommate Molly to her job at the town’s diner.
It wasn’t too bad, at least if she worked the opening shift. Setting out before six meant she avoided the heat of the sun, amplified by the weighty humidity of southern Virginia. Even in the early morning hours, it curled around Katlyn with sticky fingers, causing her uniform shirt to cling to her skin.
She kicked at a rock on the sidewalk, scrolling through the music downloaded to her phone. Her fingertips caught on the crack that ran through the screen as she selected a song to help her wake up a bit, at least until she could grab a cup of coffee. The sun crested over the blue mist of the mountains that cupped the town like a set of hands, the cicadas quieting from their nighttime serenade. If only she had the time to appreciate her surroundings more, go for a hike or take a lazy day floating on the river like a typical college-aged kid. Unfortunately, the gavel of rent hung over her head, so work took precedence.” The page is titled ‘first page’ and the text is surrounded by a scientific drawing of a butterfly, a few silver studs, a receipt, a ticket, a few colorful leaves, safety pins, and a butterfly-shaped enamel pin.

On a green fern-printed background are four book covers. The page is titled ‘comps’. The first book is Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, along with a note that says ‘Appalachian setting’. The second is Nana by Ai Yazawa with a note that says ‘Homoerotic roommates + punk culture’. The third is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with a note that says ‘Bisexual friends to lovers’. The last is for the Amazon original Fleabag with a note that says ‘Messy 20-somethings with bad taste in men’. Also in the image are cutouts from a guide about butterflies, some graffiti, studs and safety pins, a dried rose, and a brass pin shaped like a dragonfly.

A cassette tape case sits in the center of the page with words written on the back insert. It reads “ Trope playlist- friends to lovers, love triangle (that’s actually a triangle!), own voices Queer/Neurodiverse rep, open door romance, small town secrets, manic pixie rat man, dark academia x DIY punk, breaking the cycle, coming of age”. At the top left corner is a QR code with a note saying ‘Listen to the Playlist!”. Behind the tape is dark paper with a star pattern. At the bottom left is a pack of cigarettes as well as a cigarette beside it and two safety pins. The bottom right is an illustration of a bee landing on a flower. The top right has a white graduation tassel as well as another bee illustration. At the top center is another image of a butterfly.

I think the strongest emotion I’ve felt is the frustration of a plot not working that comes *right* before you strike gold/figure it out. It’s that cusp of realization that bolsters the writing forward. #CRPGlasswings

It’s said that any curse can be reversed, but the way to do it is not the same for each. Dark is picky and spiteful, and it does what it can to cling to its host. It’s said one man broke his own curse by eating an entire bar of soap after he was cursed for being a pathological liar. #CampRevPit

#1stlinepit “Lianna Bontrower had a heart cursed to be stolen.” #wip #f #r #adult #writingcommunity

Illustration of the main characters of my fantasy romance WIP. Lianna, a plus sized woman with dark brown curly hair stands in front of Fyrgus, a man with black hair and black fox ears. He is holding her in his arms and they stare lovingly into one another’s eyes. His hands are at her hip and waist and they are blackened with curse marks and have claws. Her hand raises up behind her to play at his hair. She wears a a midnight banyan embroidered with silver moons and a pink chemise a la reine inspired dress. Fyrgus wears a crimson coat embroidered with suns,

Shuffle of my fantasy romance WIP: Rosemary and Flame. The couple is in the center surrounded by trees and florals and a black fox, grey cat, a dragon flames, the sun and the moon

The great witch Beatrice Bontrower is missing and it’s up to her daughter, Lianna to find her. But Beatrice is lost in a magical land full of dangers and heart snatching fae and Lianna has no magic of her own. What’s a poor woman to do? Obviously bind herself to the first barely trustworthy fae she meets. He’s after the ring on her pinky, a family heirloom said to hold ancient magic, and he’ll do just about anything to get it, including helping a wayward woman find her missing mother. Together they traverse the wilds of Faerie on a path of danger and discovery, for Beatrice was a woman of many secrets and these secrets have teeth.

Tropes:
-Grumpy/sunshine
-Plus size 30 y/o fmc
-A magical quest
-Finding yourself as an adult
-Bickering is a love language
-He falls first but she saves him

Characters:
-An incorrigible flirt of a herione

“The evening of Darbicor Chedanta’s birth-night brought a brilliant aurora.” #1stLinePit #WIP #A #F

A moodboard made up of nine images.
Top left: The Sun setting over clouds, its light split into eight distinct rays.
Top centre: A block of pink buildings at night, lit by neon lights. A line of palm trees grows at the side of the street.
Top right: A black bird comes in for a landing on a tree branch, in front of a yellow sky.
Centre left: A street in San Francisco at sunset. The Golden Gate Bridge is visible in the distance.
Centre: The title of the story, “The Mysteries of the Apricot Sun”, on a yellow background.
Centre right: A green and purple Aurora over rocks.
Bottom left: A few light orange (one light grey) dresses on hangers and mannequins.
Bottom centre: Two arcade machines with a game called “Easy Money”.
Bottom right: A brass door carved with a Sun / star design.

The world of Harenocus is very old. The Sun’s radiance has become overwhelming, to the point where the people of the last city conduct most of their business at night. Yet even under the blazing light, there are places where secrets can hide.

After a disastrous night at the casino, Darbicor “Darby” Chedanta has spent the last year evading her family as much as possible. Things are going smoothly, really. If you don’t count her father’s increasingly desperate attempts to get her back. Or the pain she’s in every night.

Consicor Chedanta is an up-and-coming fashion designer, her name known across the city. Between design commissions, her father Cevare periodically sends her out to meet with Darby. Unbeknownst to him, she has her suspicions about why Darby doesn’t want to come back — and is sabotaging his efforts, if only in little ways.

When Darby’s birth-night gift to herself, a locket with a painting of an otherworldly landscape, gets her attacked by a demigod, she and Consicor learn of a group that wants to defy the make of the heavens. This incident ripples the stream of fates, unsettling the steady night-by-night lives the sisters have made for themselves — and possibly bringing all their secrets right to the surface.
