My ghost never hides in the shadows.

“She’s not your ghost,” reminds Olive. “I can see her, too!”
But my sister’s claim rattles out like a lie. Looking at her now, she’s scrunching her face up, squinting real tight, yet her eyes never seem to find the shimmering girl that runs through Rosefall Manor.
Not like mine do.FOR FANS OF...

SPACE SWEEPERS 🤝 LOGAN LUCKY When an AI-piloted space hauler threatens her home station, aging & indebted traffic controller Dez decides to rob the hell out of it. She's got a plan & a motley crew. But, when things aboard aren’t as expected, all bets are off. #QuestPit #Q #SF #A #BookSky
A black hole spirals in the distance, a fiery trail of material getting sucked into it from across the image. Approaching is a circular, doughnut-like spaceship or station. The title LANE BREAKERS runs along the bottom, the second word highlighted in bright purple and appearing to fall off the edge.

A red ALERT box connected to the ship says 'Now Querying', and the wormhole is labeled 'Taurine Strait'COMPS & META INFORMATION

Along the bottom right, a black and white sketch of a old woman in a space pilot's outfit holds a glowing magenta martini glass. Smoke from her cigarette glows and wafts in pinks and blues.

Genre: SF Heist
Audience: Adult
Wordcount: +-100,000

Themes and Tropes:
Blue collar heist
(Re)found family
Grungy space life
Sentient AIs

Comps:
Logan Lucky
The Quantum Magician
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Cascade Failure
The Suez Canal incident
Space SweepersTHE HEIST:

Desdemona Skene hates her job. She spends each day as a glorified crossing guard for traffic through her system’s wormhole. But, ever since she botched a flight of her own, it’s all she has. Dez’s friends have moved on, her ex is seeing someone new, and she’s in debt to the mob. At eighty-three years old, it’s not like she’s a candidate for promotion.

But then Dez learns that the largest civilian ship ever designed by humanity will be passing through her friendly neighborhood wormhole. Piloted by an experimental AI, this cruise might prove computers are finally able to successfully navigate wormholes. Stock prices will blast into orbit, but it’ll spell unemployment for Dez and thousands of human pilots. Probably her home station too.

If that ship’s taking her down, Dez is going to drag it along for the ride—and make a tidy profit along the way. She’ll need to gather a crew (if her old friends will still talk to her), shake the mob, and outwit megacorps and empires both.
But if she pulls this off, she might just get to live out her dream of a quiet retirement.THE CREW
Golden boxes house titles and descriptions of characters. The top one, Dez, is a magenta circle that looks sci-fi.

Desdemona ‘Dez’ Skene
Washed up and too poor for retirement, Dez has a drinking problem and a mob problem. She might have one last job left in her

Hacker
Finn's got a heart of gold, more backdoors than a hardware store, and would rather be playing video games

The Faces
Dez’s parents might be older than moon dust, but Hank and Gwen have been conning people for almost a century. They still haven’t lost their touch

Sentient Adbot
Marty, the uplifted, digital adbot who dreams of personhood. He also happens to live inside Finn's head

Crack Pilot
Vil is the fastest sled pilot on Midway Station, famous for crushing the illegal racing circuit. Also, he's Dez’ ex of thirty years

The Muscle
The best mechanic on the station, Caius brings some well-needed muscle. But, most annoyingly, he's Vil's new flame

I try to seem unbothered as he takes his time, walking back to the leather loveseat across from mine. He sits down slowly, soaking in my attention, but I can’t take my eyes off him. His arms stretch out lazily on the back of the chair, a prince of darkness surveying his domain. 

 The room warms. So warm that sweat prickles the back of my neck. I glance at the clock over the fireplace again. Terror wraps around me like the snake dancing on his forearm. I need to get out of here. 

 He cocks his head to the side, waiting, and I debate lying. There are no benefits to a demon knowing your name. Except my mind is blank. I can’t remember any goddess-blessed name except my own.

Mulan meets Avatar: the Last Airbender But make it an adult romantasy where Mulan has forbidden magic and her commanding officer is giving serious Zuko vibes (If you've seen her search history you already know this ends badly) #unhingedpit #a #f #r
Search history: can all nine gods reject someone; how to forge a divine seal; consequences of impersonating a soldier during wartime; can elemental magic manifest without divine blessing; signs your commanding officer knows you're lying; why does my magic react when he's close

If Mulan had magic and committed identity theft after being ghosted by the gods... And brought a sickle to a sword fight 🌾⚔️✨ #unhingedpit #a #f #r #q
AITA for committing identity theft after being ghosted by the gods?

I (20F) was publicly rejected by every god in existence during a mandatory religious ceremony. Everyone else got a divine seal proving a god had claimed them. I got sentenced to a life of prayer.Anyways, shortly after that, my brother was drafted into a divine war, so I stole his paperwork, forged a divine seal, and joined the army in his place. In my defense, it worked.Unfortunately, I accidentally developed unblessed elemental magic. Now my commanding officer keeps looking at me like he knows I'm lying, and recruits keep disappearing. Also, I may be developing feelings for home even though he could have me executed for treason. AITA?

A final #questpit pitch for PRINCESS OF NOTHING, my TANGLED X ATLA epic medieval fantasy 🥀⚔️❤️‍🔥 🕯️ gods and mortals 🏰 princess x guard 🕯️ powerless FMC 🏰 complex family dynamics 🕯️ political intrigue 🏰 blood-based elemental magic 🕯️ dëad prophecy 🏰 Darcy-level yearning feat. the blurb and the playlist ✨
A medieval fantasy moodboard with the title: “PRINCESS OF NOTHING” and “an adult epic fantasy” above, and “Fate will bring them together.
Duty will keep them apart.” below.Text that reads: “Blurb.” Then:
“Cursed by the gods and hidden by her family, Princess Arina Alderon spends her days isolated, enduring the mysterious illness that's plagued her since childhood. As one of the High Avari, the magical royals descended from the gods that once ruled their world, she has a role to play. But without the divine magic of her bloodline, Arina's value comes down to one thing marriage. When the queen demands she choose a husband ahead of her eldest brother's coronation, she's trapped. And the last thing Arina wants is another cage.
Meanwhile, Ren, the mortal blacksmith-turned-captain of the crown prince's elite guard, is torn between battling his dark past and forging his future. But when Arina comes blazing back into his life, demanding his help to take back control of her own, he can't say no. Like her, he lacks the elemental magic of the gods, and if there's one thing Ren understands, its her hunger to prove herself.
And there's no harm in helping his closest friend's sister—is there?
As Ren and Arina train in secret, their forbidden attraction grows, and allegiances begin to shift. A mortal rebellion is resurfacing, entwined with both Ren's past and a dark magic that hasn't been seen for decades. But with the savior heir to the prophecy dead, the realm is left with only magic and wit to defeat this mysterious threat—and Ren and Arina's role is more crucial than they could imagine.
More determined than ever to save their kingdom and earn her freedom, Arina must hone her mind as well as her skill. But the truth is tangled with lies, and unraveling a lifetime of deception will threaten not only her fate, but everything—and everyone—she holds dear.”A medieval fantasy moodboard with text written over it: “Playlist:
False God by Taylor Swift
Dangerous by Sleep Token
Golden Brown by The Stranglers
Fable by Gigi Perez
The Yawning Grave by Lord Huron
Strangers by Ethel Cain
Darwinism by Halsey”

ECHOES OF REPOSE. A self-sabotaging true-crime podcaster drives through a one-way tunnel into a remote BC town, home to an abandoned TB sanatorium with a sinister history. There she must face the ghosts she carries, and those that stalk her, to escape before one of them kills her. #Questpit #Q #T #S
