New project: Those Who Carry My Bones. When the dead god's skeleton her country is built on begins to collapse, a woman must confront her past as part of the organization responsible and reverse the damage, all while falling for a man whose life she accidentally ruined. #questpit #a #f #rf #df #w
A mood board featuring pomegranates, bone fragments in dirt, rocky and foggy mountains, and a gothic cathedral.  Over it, cursive text reads, "those who carry my bones."

TW: Blood Late to the party but here it is! #Questpit #A #F #W Querying in the next few months. BLOODLETTING has: 🩸A blood magic system inspired by my history with self harm 🩸An estranged, angsty brother-sister relationship 🩸An enemies to lovers subplot (the knife-to-the-throat kind)
Collage of images: 

The Sister: a bloody hand, fields of grain, a knife held behind the back, an eyeball
The Brother: a raven, a bloody sword, a man in all black atop a horse, a man holding his head in his hands The Pitch: 

Born with the power to transfer wounds between bodies, a young woman crosses enemy borders to find her estranged, traitorous brother and inform him of their mother’s death.

She hopes this news will change him for the better, but he’s already given up far more than his loyalty, and there may be nothing left of him to save.

#CRPCabinRaids Love this prompt! My 3 MCs originated from different class playthroughs on Star Wars: The Old Republic (Jedi Consular, Smuggler, Imperial Agent). I’d love to return them to their origin!

I’ve been sick the first few days of camp and am behind on a lot of things, but I’m feeling better and am excited to participate more! Fancasts are fun! My MC goes through a “shy sad girl vibes” to “feminine rage” transformation that I think Anya Taylor-Joy could pull off so well! #CRPFantasyFoxes

I just finished my first year as a First Reader for #RevPit! Two years ago I was on the other side. Entering, not getting shortlisted, not getting in. And again in 2025. Two times a "loser". Here's what I want every writer who didn't get in to know: 🧵

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

Trans people protect your peace! Stop doomscrolling, block transphobes, and take a deep breath. I am not going to sugar coat it: things fucking suck right now. But make sure you realize that you are not alone and in the end love will overcome hate.
