@realgdt.bsky.social's FRANKENSTEIN is a haunting Gothic masterpiece. I was lucky enough to attend a 35mm screening of the film at Hollywood's Egyptian Theater with @ruthiewrites91.bsky.social, & it was an exquisitely beautiful adaptation of Mary Shelley's novel.

Today is the day! I am thrilled and humbled to announce that I am represented by Global Lion Management. My YA Gothic novel, BLACKMOORE COLLEGE, will be represented by Charlie Serabian. Apparently, he read the manuscript while listening to the Wednesday soundtrack and that was the key lol

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

Our survey of canceled shows found that, in 2024, sci-fi/fantasy shows were only much more likely to be canceled if they had queer representation.🏳️‍🌈 This trend can’t be explained by ratings or viewership alone. Representation matters! #SaveQueerStories savequeerstories.carrd.co

An infographic with rainbow letters on a black background. “MYTH: Sci fi and fantasy TV shows get canceled more often than other shows. TRUTH: Sci-fi and fantasy shows were canceled at the same rate as other shows in 2024 (22% vs 25%). Unless they had queer representation. Then they were canceled 73% of the time.” The infographic ends with the hashtag #SaveQueerStories and the link savequeerstories.carrd.co

When you get hit with a big agent rejection do you a) be sad about it b) change your opening chapter into a lymeric c) disassociate for hours or d) all of the above

On land birthed by rising sun
Where good earth drinks the sea
Wild mothers rear wild daughters on
Both magic touched and free

Once for every swath of girls
a single Sage is chose
To guide her sisters forward bound
Till final sleep she goes

With death does come a baby born
To take the Sage's place
But if the choice is wrongly made
The bonds of blood shall break

And so it goes that fragile things
Are carved from wood and bones
With wit to cull the worst of kings
Who sit on feathered thrones

But precious hearts in gilded chests
Are often prone to vice
And if a love the Sage does find
The blood will pay the price

if you're wondering if I've forgotten about my YA Gothic Dark Academia, don't worry. I haven't. #gothic #iamquerying #blackmoorecollege #ya

Before her stood a structure so massive and daunting, it instilled in her the same fear she would have felt if she'd come upon a sleeping bear. A gargantuan hall with endless windows stood perched on a rocky island, surrounded by wetlands. Iron fences encircled the property for miles. They had clearly been there for years, perhaps even decades, as decrepit trees had wrapped their roots around many of the fence prongs to help them grow. The fog was thicker here, and Millie was hards pressed to see where the structure ended. On the front gate was a brass crest, turned green from age. On it was a corvid, its wings stretched wide in both an act of welcome, and a warning for all.

This was Blackmoore College.

This is what the commodification of fandom looks like. Traditional publishing is exploiting fandom and fans. Using them to promote and pay for the art they’ve already read for free. Setting fanfic writer up for possible lawsuits and forever binding them and their the work to a bigot. #Romancelandia

Promotional material for Irresistible urge to fall for your enemy by Brigitte Knightly, which is the published title of what was once a popular Harry Potter fan fiction featuring a romance between Hermione and Draco. Promotional material gives a breakdown of the “Dramoine ship” its online popularity making the books origins not only clear but a selling point of the book.

“WHAT IS
DRAMIONE?
+
DRAMIONE
* IS THE PAIRING OF *
DRACO
RACO & HERMONR
GRANGER
FROM THE HARRY POTTER SERIES.
For those who may not know, Draco was one of the antagonists and Hermione was one of the three main characters of the series.
Like with any fandom, people wonder, "What if these two characters got together?" And since Draco and Hermione are complete opposites, and because everyone loves a good enemies-to-lovers story, naturally, this was a fan-favorite pairing.
The emergence of Dramione skyrocketed within the fanfiction community, which led to several published adaptions, including the forthcoming Alchemised by SenLinYu, adapted from Manacled, setting us up to break out Brigitte Knightley at just the right time.

It's time for everyone's favorite game show--GUESS. THAT. CONSEQUENCE! (we've all seen cartoons) #romantasy #iamquerying #romance #fantasy

The twin ridges stood as peaceful as sleeping giants. She couldn't even see the tops, as many were blocked by tufts of cloud. She laughed, almost in spite of herself. She wondered why she didn't feel intimidated by such massive mountains. But there was something about them, be it the impressive width of the canyon or the fact that they were purely a product of nature, that overwhelmed Bryory with a sense of awe.

"By the Blessed," she breathed. She turned and called out. "Lysander! Come out and see!" Her voice echoed between the mountain ridges and she laughed. Cupping her hands to her mouth, she shouted: "Hello!"

Hello! Hello! Hello!

"Oh what fun. Helloooo!"

Looo! Looo! Looo!

Bryory giggled and turned back around to the cave. "Lysander, can you hear me in there?" She stepped inward, temporarily blinded by the darkness. "Are you still resting?"

That's when she heard the crackling of snowy rock.

Ruth Hanson @ruthiewrites91.bsky.social · 06/05/2025

trust me, this was the most tame thing I could post with this prompt 👀 #iamquerying #wipsnippets #sitb #romantasy

Bryory clicked her tongue and sat back on the bed. "I suppose it is wise to adhere to foreign customs while I am a guest." Still, that didn't mean Bryory had to like it. She shivered, and Richter, noticing that the furnace was cold, approached it to start a fire for her comfort. Bryory's smile was small, and she put her hands in her lap. "Captain Richter?" He turned to her. "Would you perhaps teach me what I must know? There is clearly more importance on my presence in the king's court than I had previous thought."

With his embarrassment gone, Richter agreed with a smile. "As you wish, my lad. I have lived in Vallake my whole life. You are free to ask me anything and everything."

"I suppose I should like to ask first why sex is so reviled among your people."

Richter's smile fell, and he ran his hand down his face. "I did say you could ask me everything."

Don't mind me, just posting a snippet from book 2 of a series that hasn't even been published yet #wipsnips #clown #wip #iamquerying #sparrowinthebriar #shattereddominion

“So I am the villain in this? Is that it?” Bryory snorted, feeling any sense of decorum leaving her body. “How kind of you to drag this out into the air to fester.”
“Drag what out, princess? The fact that you will not listen or the fact that you have painted me a jealous clown rather than see my points?”
“I suppose I should have expected you to remain just as insufferable as you were back in Vallake. Do you enjoy upsetting me? Is that it?”
“Do I enjoy...? Here ye, here ye! Let it be known that I, Lysander Silverheart, am a sadist of the highest order!”
“Now you're just being cruel!”
“Turnabout is fair play.”
“Nothing about your words are fair!”
“Neither are yours.”
