ONE DARK WINDOW x GWEN & ART ARE NOT IN LOVE x THE GILDED AGE 💥 total-opposite twins 💍 arranged marriages 👑 a curse from the gods 🌥️ grumpy x sunshine ⚔️ lovers to enemies #questpit #ya #f #rf #wip

text: This 70,000-word YA fantasy novel with romantic elements subverts the classic princess-stuck-in-a-tower trope.
It will appeal to those who enjoyed the complicated relationships in Gwen & Art are Not in Love by Lex Croucher and the sinister magic in One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, as well as the class dynamics in The Gilded Age.

text: On the verge of their respective betrothals, 17-year-old royal twins Lark and Clarión Blaivetramis both have their reservations against their fathers' political ploys. When their father unexpectedly switches Lark's betrothal, she must embark to a foreign country with a mysterious prince, leaving Clar to contend with his inability to love his wife-to-be. Befriending a curious servant boy is a welcome relief, but a risk Clar isn't sure he can take.
Meanwhile, as Lark's brazen charm and her betrothed's hesitancy clash, Lark struggles to know if she's falling in love with the prince or just pretending to fall in love. The further she gets from Kaiselle, the more she unlocks about her deceased mother's history, and the darkness Lark has inherited in her blood, a truth her father meant to keep hidden. Lark and Clar must reconcile their personal desires with their required duties before they lose their freedom, or their lives, to forces beyond their control forever.

Burning dragons whisper across his skin, awaiting to conjure a sun to demolish a city—A lotus-shaped platform before a gate encrusted into the side of a mountain. A man with a chest tattoo of a burning sun. A figure sitting at a tray table atop ashen stairs, calligraphy flowing in the grey air around. A woman bound by chains around her neck. A glowing, magical tome. A Mongolian girl wearing a loovuuz. A figure standing in a pond gazebo, gazing out. A red-robed swordswoman in a misty grass plain. An empty ancient Chinese street with red lanterns.

An agent's guide to: when ink swallows the sun, a 108k-word adult imperial-asia epic fantasy by @lilywzy_

Illegitimate child Ning Liyue must navigate the palace to chase clues about her long-lost mother’s foreign origins. When her quest collides with a failing chosen one trying to revive his tribe’s tattoo magic, they must uncover ugly truths and survive a budding rebellion to achieve their goals—and choose their loyalties in a crumbling empire.

The released moonlight casts an ethereal glow on the Empress, darkening the surrounding night. Liyue can’t tell who started it, but hundreds of guests crumble to the ground, pressing their foreheads to the ground in uneven worship. Ten thousand years to my Empress! Their chants rise and fall and rise again until no other sound exists in the world.

Like a crane among chickens, Liyue alone remains standing, unable to remove her gaze from the Empress while others fix theirs to the floor. The star dims, liquid shadows seem to swish within it like ink as the Empress lowers the scepter. Her low-lidded gaze sweeps over her subjects and lingers on Liyue. It’s not out of curiosity toward Liyue’s unique appearance nor offense from her standing, but a disturbing satisfaction.

Who is the Jinyu Empress?

Should the heavens hear this thought and convey it to Her Majesty, Liyue’s head would roll on the ground. Bathed in the pallid moonlight that basks the feast in an inhuman coldness, she decid

themes and elements: inspired by manchu, mongol, and than. God blood as ink for tattoo magic. creation vs destruction with a twist. Duty vs desire. kindness vs ambition. 4-pov. riches to rags. failing chosen one

Dani & Ash are 🏴‍☠️ editing 🏴‍☠️ @creatingryunsei.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

While Ashlea and I are working on our major rewrite of our story, I'd like to present our updated #AgentGuide This is our adult/crossover romantic fantasy with a true slow burn romance, and series potential! #WritingCommunity 📖🦋

An agent guide for The Siren's Call by Danielle Bradbury and Ashlea P Screaton. A new adult slowburn romantic fantasy.

Pitch: Delphine’s always wished for a life as romantic and adventurous as her stories. With any brief escape punished by her employer, she’s desperate to flee, if not for Otto; her best friend, and the only family she’s known. So when he is sent with pirates after a mythical map, she refuses to be left behind.

At sea, a budding romance with the Captain reveals he’s tailed by a dark past, one he’d sabotage the mission to escape. But the pirates claimed Otto’s life if anything goes wrong, and Delphine will do anything—even use the Captain’s past against him—to get the map and save Otto.

Comp Titles:

Once Upon A Broken Heart (Stephanie Garber)
- Cocky but hopelessly romantic love interest
- Selfless heroine sacrificing all for love
- Magic and myths
- Betrayal
- True slow burn romance

Dark Water Daughter (H. M. Long)
- Love interest with a scarring secret
- High stakes survival and adventure
- Looming villain
- Pirates
- Sea myths & magical creatures

Howl's Moving Castle
- Impact of societal expectations
- Power of romantic and self-love
- Steampunk elements
- Chosen family
- Taking responsibility

Summers spent in a bordello ought to have prepared Delphine better.

Though Hunter and his girls had always ensured Delphine did not see anything vulgar or unsightly, it was difficult to be ignorant when sitting around a dinner table amongst chattering girls. They told tales of their clients, giggling or rolling their eyes at wild requests from sailors. Hunter would shush them and send a pointed look in her direction, only goading them to spin even more dramatic and rather gruesome tales.

Delphine would blush, but she took the joy in their teasing gratefully; summers spent in Hunter's Bordello were only full of fond memories. But they should have prepared her better for the view she had walked in on.

Love my non-writer friends but their publishing advice kills me: “You should start a blog! It’ll get agent attention and then you’ll be published” “Write what you want for word count. Standard isn’t one size fits all and storytelling is more important.”

4 types of characters I write: 1. “I’m feeling some kind of emotion and I don’t like it” 2. Charming and perfect but secretly deeply insecure 3. Evil hatred born out of unrequited love (not necessarily romantic love) 4. Extreme idealist who doesn’t realize they’re a villain until the end
