Good morning #WritingCommunity ☀️ Hope everyone is having a beautiful day! Would anyone be interested in beta reading my revamped manuscript titled Mark of the Emaytes? 👀👀 Premise below 👇 Would love to swap!! (Also would love feedback on which one sentence premise sounds better!!) 💙

When caught between two god-like rivals, a captured young woman with a rare ability sets one rival's vengeful lover toward a coveted power.

When a young woman with a rare ability is captured by two god-like rivals, her underhanded escape tactics spur one rival's vengeful lover toward the very power the captors covet.

Raised in NY, 17-year-old Art is unaccustomed to the games of dominance and manipulation that the powerful people of her world play. So when she is captured and brought there, she is forced to reckon with the fact that she is tragically out of her depth. But... Art *is* learning. #Bluepit #Q #YA #F

Caught between two rivals—a domineering brute and a manipulative strategist—a Black teen coveted for her power must join one in a coup or risk a deadly escape before their infamous leader returns to end her. Assuming, of course, the brute's situationship doesn't kill her first. #Q #YA #F #Questpit

The Areynian Storm, a YA Fantasy w/crossover potential, 98k words

Power Grants Choices
17-year-old Art was given a power that only the Big Bad has, so when she is captured she has two options before her inevitable return: risk a deadly escape in defiance of beings who have already mastered what she does not, or join one of the two seeking an alliance to cement a new leadership, though any such pact is sure to be temporary.
Time is only running out.

Snippet:
Art took two steps to follow her.
“I have not dismissed you.”
Art paused and rocked on her heels. She felt the prickle of his gaze and tried to hide the clenching of her fists by stroking the palm of her hands with her fingers. “Dinner’s over,” she said without looking back at him.
“Stay. It is a night of celebration.” Art stood there debating if she would. Her mind buzzed. Was Myra okay? What if she really needed her—
“Your markings have grown.”
She turned then and didn’t bother to hide the irritation on her face.
Only, Galon wasn’t looking at her face. His gaze was lower, aimed at the curve of her hip.
“I prefer my woman in skirts.” His gaze lifted to her eyes. “They suit your form better.”

Two god-like rivals.
An emotional side-chick.
Death’s imminent return.

The Areynian Storm by Krys Plummer, a ya fantasy w/crossover potential 98k-words

Art’s power is feared, despised, and yet everyone wants it.

She possesses the oldest ability of the god-like beings who sought to dominate her world and will one day be able to control others and reality. So she was raised here, with us, in New York, shackled by expectations and condemned to play a pivotal role in a war she never wanted to fight.

But when she is captured and caught between two of these god-like rivals seeking an alliance to become the new HBIC, an emotional side chick, and Death’s imminent return, Art finally realizes a savage truth:
power grants choices.

Everyone expects her to save her world, but Art doesn’t have a savior complex.

She didn’t ask for this.

And we have no maids here.

Featuring: body-based magic system, strong BIPOC rep, action, romance, manipulation and twists, and a complex ensemble case who drive the plot forward.

Hey #CRPGlasswings! I've made a lot of progress on finding inconsistencies in my manuscript! I found a pretty big one continuity-wise that led to this awesome snippet I'm sharing below! I'll probably use it in one of my QuestPit pitches! #CampRevPit

But as she turned onto the hall, she caught another familiar face, though one she had no desire to see. Imogen. A rush of anger hit Art like a spark catching dry wood. The smirk that crept up Imogen's face only served as gasoline. Art's strides lengthened. There was no Galon or Maura here to stop her now. She flexed her fingers, ready to conjure a zale, when O'seer came to mind. Emotional. Undisciplined. Her pace slowed, just a bit. On sight, Art had promised. It was her first instinct, and exactly how they all expected her to react. So she shouldn't. Instead she found wisdom in more of O'seer's words: You must learn to be more observant, child, if you insist on playing at strategy.
Okay, Art thought, letting her shoulders drop and schooling her face. Let's play.

Good afternoon #WritingCommunity! I LOVE this scene - so much history and tension and subtext here between Maura and Imogen. For context, Art was asked to distract Maura, so Art asked Maura to escort her to her room. Maura gets them lost... or does she? 😈 #WIPSnips #WritingPrompts #WriteSky

Maura released Art as the small smile that was on her face grew larger and more devious, like a cat that had spotted a mouse. But this was a brave mouse, one that rushed down the hall to meet it.
“Shall I offer some advice?” Maura said quietly, speaking to Art without breaking her gaze from Imogen. “Do try to avoid becoming like this one.” As Imogen paused in front of them, she said, louder, “Pathetic,” with a little laugh. “Love is for children and fools.” She offered Art a smile, but it was not returned.
“You will go no further.” Imogen’s voice was cold and clipped, her eyes dark with a quiet intensity. “Leave.”
Art could only be surprised to see that there was someone else Imogen seemed to hate more. But Maura relished her ire, tossing her hair over one shoulder with a fluid turn of her head. “I’m escorting the Sytera. I have business in the manor.”
Imogen didn’t blink. Her gaze flicked to Art. “Your room is not this way. And there is nothing here for you. Either of you,” she said, meeting Maura’s gaze again. “Leave.” Her voice was like Death. “Now.”
Maura tsked softly. “But I’ve only just come inside. It’s been so long. Maybe I have become a little lost, Sytera, forgive me.” Maura brushed a hand over Art’s shoulder and squeezed. She noticed Imogen rubbing her fingers together, saw her waning patience. “Careful, now.” Maura conjured a look of pity. “One may think you’re feeling… threatened. But that would mean you’re inadequate, wouldn’t it?”
Art’s eyes darted between them, noting Maura’s playful indifference and Imogen’s barely contained fury. It felt like watching someone trying to light a cigarette while attached to an oxygen tank.
She wisely took a step back.

Art found another note.
She sat in the iron chair of her favorite neighborhood restaurant, rifling through her purse to grab money to pay for her lunch, and froze as she registered the folded up sheet now buried there. She didn’t have to read it. It always came on the same white paper with the same scrawled handwriting that spelled directions to a bench in Central Park and a meeting day that changed each time she ignored it. She received her first one two weeks ago with long stretches of silence between the mysterious appearances, but the gaps were shrinking. Whoever was sending them seemed to be growing more persistent.

Shoutout to @ambucsaru.bsky.social for the meme generator 🎉 I had no idea how you guys were creating such amazing and hilarious memes yesterday (I’m still learning *Bluesky*/I’m so ridiculous with technology and social media) 😅 But here’s two I created already #writingcommunity!

Art: How do I kick everyone’s ass to show I’m a strong FMC if the opps have been doing this way longer than me?
Me: That’s the neat part, you don’t.

Art: This girl really cares about him. Best leave her relationship alone.
Also Art: Tell her her man wants someone else.

It's another lovely day #writingcommunity with Art learning actions have consequences. I dunno sis, maybe the kalpa was taking a nap which you rudely interrupted while swimming away from the OTHER monsters -- maybe you should've tried apologizing 🧐 #WIPSnips #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #amquerying

She turned, kicking hard, desperate to put distance between them. But after several beats, she collided with something massive.
A thick, sinuous form coiled around her, tightening like a vice before she could react. Her chest burned as the serpent-like creature constricted further, pinning her arms to her sides, forcing her legs together. She gasped as pressure crushed the air from her lungs.
She bent her elbows, just barely, and conjured a zetwal. The glow illuminated the creature’s grotesque face—bulging, lidless eyes locked onto her, its massive mouth stretching wide, lined with jagged, needle-like fangs. Two long tendrils protruded from its face.
One lashed out, slicing across her cheek like a razor.
Pain seared through her. Art’s breath hitched, terror slamming into her so hard she lost focus. Her zetwal vanished.
She was going to die.
The beast jerked her sideways, her body twisting in its crushing grip. Then she felt it. The shift of its massive jaw overhead.

Much to Art's frustration, it's hard to learn her enemy since no one wants to talk about Wren, the big bad enigmatic leader of the Kyvar Circle... Cris says she's crazy. But is anyone ever just that? #ScribbledSHeroes #WritingCommunity #WritingPrompts #TheAreynianStorm

“Anything,” Art had said. “Everything. Why did she start everything? How did she start everything?”
“It’s heavy stuff,” he replied. He refused to look at her for a while. Instead, he flipped the candy over and over in his hands. “Wren…” He did now. His eyes were as flat as the rest of his short, dismissive answer. “She’s just crazy, alright? She was alone and in pain, so she made sure everyone else felt it.”
That couldn’t be all, Art had thought later. What would stop anyone from becoming like her then?
What would stop Art from becoming like her?
When Art had whispered, almost reverently, “What does she look like?” Cris had stilled, the question hanging between them.
“She looks like power,” he’d said at last. “She looks like Death. You’ll know her when you see her. Just… pray you’re able to take our true form before that. It’ll be our only saving grace when we face her.”
“We?” she’d echoed, lifting her eyes in search of his.
But his gaze had stayed down, fixed on the pink candy in his hands. “I can’t beat her. The most I can do is stop her from killing me. And if I’m not quick enough… if her rage takes over… her eyes… they just go black and she… I can’t beat her.”
Art had glanced at his markings then, intricate and far more numerous than her own, and she had thought bitterly: If Cris couldn’t beat Wren, what chance did she have?
“So, we’ll face her together?” she’d repeated softly.
And he’d said, “Well, yeah,” with a faint, weary smile, tearing through the wrapper and popping the chewy candy into his mouth. “We’re hiding from her together. Might as well face her together too.”

Here's an original snippet I changed. Art was originally White to avoid the choice of discounting her racial experiences or unintentionally alienating readers. It was special because as she later notes, she always feels she's not enough of one thing or the other. And that resonates 😌 #RevPitWaiting

Prophecies and chosen ones go hand in hand, and as my MC notes, there is something comforting about "while she was forced into this destiny, there was something written in the stars, a guarantee that she was meant to win." But what if there isn't? #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #amquerying #fantasy

I think the chosen one trope mirrors real life. Some people are blessed with advantages, but it often comes with tons of expectations. And while some rise to the occasion, others...don't. Especially if they didn't ask for it. Meet Art. She doesn't have a savior complex. So now what? 🤷‍♀️
