writing historical romantasy really has me asking the big questions, such as: what is the sexiest title (duke, earl, viscount, or baron) (marquess is out by default there is nothing sexy about that word)

An LLM does not "help you write your books". An LLM prevents you from writing*your* books, while you are helping the LLM generate its books.

Something I've been calling #PaladinInPinkWIP — a burnt-out college grad, a hot archfey, a world built on game rules, a quest to find a sibling long thought gone for good, and a flirtatious bard full of secrets guiding the way. I have been having a BLAST, your honours 🫡

#MeetMyMCs A ghost-hunter with a stubborn streak and a failing memory, desperate to find and destroy the ghost that killed her partner before it kills again, Blair Martin is the Jonathan Sims kinnie of your dreams; a fugitive who wonders, every time she looks in the mirror: "did I do it?"

An illustration of Blair Martin, a woman with short reddish-brown hair. She has a serious, slightly curious expression on her face. She's wearing a brown jacket, a dark green sweater, dark jeans, and hiking boots, and carrying a flashlight, which illuminates her in green light.

A moodboard, with a green and white color scheme.
Top left: two hands scraping against a broken glass window.
Top middle: a conspiracy board
Top right: a grainy photo of a bedroom, with a shadowy figure leaning down from the top bunk.
Middle left: a cop car with a cop stepping out.
Middle: a silhouette of a woman staring at a conspiracy board.
Middle right: a picture of police tape.
Bottom left: legs standing in ankle-high water, with hands reaching out and grabbing at them.
Bottom middle: a hand reaching for broken glasses on the ground.
Bottom right: the silhouette of a woman atop a hill, on fire.

Text over the moodboard reads: "contrary to what everyone in this godforsaken town would have you believe, I did not kill Georgie Palmer."

Fount Marzanna loves one thing: Fount Fiammetta. When an accidental fatal Miracle draws the attention of the God of Greed's High Priest in the church she unwillingly serves, Marzanna's cold heart begins to stir with more than simple loathing. #meetmyMCs

Character art - Fount Fiammetta from Render to Silver, a gothic fantasy novel. A bust of a red-haired, amber-eyed women in her late 20s wearing a white veil with a band of silver coins to secure it. Her hands are near her face, & her expression is uneasy.

Character art - High Priest Easoren from Render to Silver, a gothic fantasy novel. He has long white hair/brows, storm blue-grey eyes, a supercilious expression, & is dressed in blue religious robes. He appears to be in his mid to late forties & he is very handsome in a cold way.
