CRUEL PRINCE x SIX OF CROWS When Aeramis was a child, their village was attacked. No survivors, save for them and their sister. Now, twenty years later, in the wake of their sister’s disappearance, Aeramis seeks revenge on those that stole everything from them. [ #questpit ; #W ; #A ; #F ]

*Freeze frame, record scratch* Hi, I’m Rory. Satan to my minions. You're probably wondering why I'm sneaking into Heaven with my darling's evil twin and The Grim Reaper- simple, we're trying to get my girl back. Because she belongs in Hell with me. #questpit #RF #rc #cozy #q

When demons destroy her home, Rowena’s forced into adventure like she’d always dreamed of, only to wake up among nightmares. Until she finds a life like the one so savagely taken from her. She can stay, but will it be worth the sacrifices she’s made along the way? #QuestPit #DF #SFF #H Snowdrop #W

Moodboard for ‘Wish Upon a Snowdrop’, a dark sci-fantasy set on an alien planet infested by demons, with post-post-apocalyptic vibes. This is a work in progress by Elisa Winther.
The moodboard has text at the left upper corner that reads: Wish Upon a Snowdrop. At the bottom right corner it includes a list of tropes, which include: shapeshifting cat demon, kickass ADHD protagonist, strange new world, monstrous seasons, demon slaying, and enemies to found family. The moodboard has a white background with five dark images. One image is of a close up of the bottom half of a face and their neck with a dark orange liquid pouring down from their lips. A second is of a person holding a skull in a pond with lily pads around them. Another is of a person huddled below a menacing shadowy monster. Another is of a person looking into a broken mirror where the shards all show eyes and the wall is scribbled with text. The last image is of a hand holding up a flower in front of a crescent moon.

Stealing a well-guarded relic for a shot off the elvish homeworld? Easy. Goons hijacking the loot? That sucks. To get it back, Taylor must steal illegal magic tech for them—if she can risk it in their hands. And risk the hot spy after it arresting her. #questpit #sff #q #a

Pirates of the Caribbean—if Jack Sparrow were a vengeful sapphic ghost possessing a sapphic princess Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner went on a gender journey, and the curse could only be broken when two hearts meet the light—through love or bloodshed 🫀🗡️ #QuestPit #YA #F #W #LGBT

A moodboard showing the pirate (Amir), the princess (Mira), and John.

Amir silhouetted against a cloudy sky with a sword slung over her shoulder and a group of joyful sailors on a pirate ship. She has this quote:

Continue to love
Continue to forgive
Continue to grow

Mira is shown in the reflection of an ornate mirror. She is wearing long white gloves and a pink ballgown with her hair in a natural updo and the lesbian pride flag is subtly depicted over her photo. There is another photo of two girls kissing in the surf at sunset. Mira has this quote:

We looked at each other a little too long to be “just friends”

John is shown with his bare back to the viewer, facing the sea with the trans pride flag subtly depicted over his photo. He also has a close up of iridescent mermaid scales and this quote:

Go bravely, go deeply, or do not go

surprise! ☀️ I’m self-publishing my novella, SUNSET YEAR, August 2025! 🌅 SUNSET YEAR is a letter to myself, reminding me what it means to survive. It is also a letter of gratitude to the people who kept me here, just by being near. ☀️☀️☀️

A text post on a sunset background. Self publishing. C.J. Ellison’s SUNSET YEAR, a novella following a trans college hockey player, experiencing suicidal thoughts after a season-ending injury, and a music student, grappling with the sudden death of her sister, as they form a friendship, a bond only renewed each night at sunset.

Booklist loved THIS ENDS IN EMBERS, you guys!!! It's "dramatic" and "sweeping"! A "stunning conclusion"! They even said the duology as a whole is "explosive" and unique". I don't even know what to say. 🥺🥺🥺🥺 Preorder: bookshop.org/p/books/this...

“This dramatic, sweeping finale to an explosive fantasy duology continues its exploration of the effects of war on young people from its unique post-childhood-trauma perspective... a stunning conclusion to the sisters’ story. ”
