London Sharps @londonc.bsky.social · 14/11/2025Looking for a critique partner or two. WIP currently 50k words #A #Hist #F set in 1924 Spain at the dawn of the dictatorship. Ancient gods, fascists, anarchists. Very voicy. Casually queer. My Pitches in the replies #FiFRevPit 451
London Sharps @londonc.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Spain, 1924, new dictatorship. A dancer with ruined legs. A manipulative goddess. Secret police closing in. Lovers plotting betrayal. Ancient Celtiberian gods returning to claim Spain with blood. Stopping them means giving up every dream she’s ever had. #A #F #Hist #Q #FIFRevpit #Mockpit 240
London Sharps @londonc.bsky.social · 07/11/2025Ancient gods are returning to 1920s Spain, & everyone wants their power—fascists, anarchists, Mercedes’s lover. A dancer w/ shattered ankle caught in mistaken identity must choose: let ancient divinity reshape the world, or stop it. If she can trust anyone. #A #F #Hist #Sapphic #FIFEevPit #Mockpit 130
