iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

These days, the biggest downfall of my being an introvert with fellow millennial friends scattered all around the world is... there is no one close by to convince to go see Backstreet Boys in Toronto. 😢

PIRANESI x ONE DARK WINDOW A misfit architect who builds impossible doors discovers one opens into a cursed house between worlds, full of rooms only she could've designed. Now the house won't let her leave—and the stranger inside, blaming her family for its curse, may be her only ally. #DVPit #A #F

My moodboard for #DVParty - all photos mine - as I try to build up the courage to post a pitch next week. (Guess that means I need to actually polish mine.) Can you guess what the project’s genre is? Or what it might be about? Happy dvpartying everyone. So many cool moodboards out there.

An empty, ominous tunnel with tiled walls, eerie lighting and concrete floor

Wayfarers x Farscape Peace between alien races could shatter unless a neurodivergent, space-phobic marine biologist, the sexy, secretive ex she’s “over”, and their tween daughter can guide a pregnant space dragon to her nursery world before she loses her clutch. #QuestPit #AG #SF

Phoebe and the Space Dragon, 92k Adult Sci-fi

Pitch: In space, no one can hear you scream...at your ex.
There's no room for argument when a pregnant, endangered creature demands you help her reach her nursery world---even if you're forced to fly with your ed. For anxious marine biologist Remy, the only thing scarier than space would be falling back in love with the man who shattered her heart.

Tropes and comps: forced proximity, second chance love, co-parenting, middle-aged MC and LI, painful secrets.

Looking down on Earth from space was allegedly a life changing event, but Remy was busy gripping her armrest and praying for delivery from a sudden, violent death. Why bother looking towards home? Any second now, she’d be plummeting back. Maybe orbiting trash would crash into them. Or the shuttle could lose power and drift into the void until they all died of hypoxia. All. That was the worst part: if she died, her only child died, too. Not that the daughter in question seemed to appreciate the gravity of the situation. Phoebe was all wide eyes and smiles as the budget shuttle rocketed them towards their almost certain demise.

"Dad?"
He glanced around at the silver-collared crew, all carefully not paying attention to the interaction, as usual—except for Solkar, who winked. "Captain Bellamy when we’re on the bridge, Phoebe,” he whispered.
She scowled at him. "It's Navigator Walker, then."
The corner of his mouth quirked like she’d said something funny instead of grown-up and serious. "You're right, we need to keep this as professional as possible, Navigator Walker."
"Or we could act like we’re still a family," she muttered, half-hoping her voice didn’t carry across the Hasma’s pool. “At least one of us still wishes we were.”
He looked a little hurt. It didn’t make her feel any better, but she didn’t apologize. If she was hurting, so could he. And it wasn’t like he ever apologized.
"I am your family, Navigator Walker. A bit of time and distance doesn’t change that."

For Toast, guarding a sentient forest means “weird” is an average Tuesday, and “nightmare” is an aesthetic. But as Toast struggles to save the forest’s latest victim, he instead finds himself the target of its gruesome hunger. He might survive. But not as himself. #DVpit #A #H #F #LGBT

If you don't enjoy writing, maybe being a writer isn't for you. That's okay! Most people are not writers. People become writers because they like to write. Otherwise they do other things with their time. AI will never solve the fact that you do not like to write.
