I keep getting recommended these sword yoga videos and I love if this gets more people/women into swords but the flower technique they use where you essentially let go of the sword when spinning it upsets me. A. It’s dangerous and B. You’re losing that sword if you strike/block with it like that.

HE SAVED THE KINGDOM ONCE. MAYBE HE SHOULDN’T HAVE. Disgraced Grand Inquisitor Wynsten is hired to find a missing ambassador. Instead, he uncovers forbidden magic and a conspiracy rooted in the blood ritual that made him a legend and ruined his life. #QuestPit #Q #A #DF #MY

INQUISITOR FOR HIRE

ADULT DARK FANTASY NOIR · 93,000 WORDS · MULTI-POV · STANDALONE

Once Rysia’s feared Grand Inquisitor, Wynsten now catches adulterers to make rent. When he is hired to find a missing ambassador before an uneasy peace collapses, the case leads him through forbidden magic, vanished daughters, and a conspiracy tied to the royal blood ritual that made him a legend, ruined his life, and fused the empire’s worst secrets to his chest.

A MISSING AMBASSADOR.
A DISGRACED LEGEND.
A KINGDOM ROTTING FROM WITHIN.

OPENING LINES

“The heretics had nowhere left to run. Wynsten had made sure of that.

Months of blood and smoke had led him beneath the Sovereign’s castle, into the old mines carved through the bedrock. A stronghold under the heart of the kingdom.

These apostates would face justice here or burn.”

Twenty years before he became an investigator for hire, Wynsten stopped a ritual fueled by Rysia’s own royal blood.

A FANTASY INVESTIGATION WITH TEETH

THREE TOUCHSTONES. ONE DECAYING EMPIRE.

The Justice of Kings by Richard Swan - Institutional rot and compromised justice

The Tainted Cup - a secondary-world mystery engine

Chinatown - slow-burn corruption and a poisoned victory

INSIDE THE CASE

A dark-fantasy noir for readers who want the mystery and the damage.

A post-conquest secondary world inspired by the Crusader states

Fallen hero / disgraced legend

Missing ambassador

Forbidden magic

Secrets beneath the city

Corruption at the highest level

Reluctant found family

Power no one understands

Morally gray choices

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia

THE EARTHLINGS! BODY SNATCHERS x THE RUNAWAYS When a 2nd generation alien sleeper cell is ordered to abduct her human friend, she saves her and goes rogue. Now her fellow operatives must track her down, but should they help her to sabotage the coming invasion instead? 📖 #Questpit #Q #YA #SF

The Earthlings Cover with 4 teens under a UFO on top of a giant alien head

A group of second generation aliens sleeper cells have spent their entire lives assimilating to human culture and gathering intelligence for the home world. To them, the eventual overthrow of farth has always been a distant goal meant for future generations.
Now, when ordered to abduct and replace a human girl they have befriended, one of the alien operatives realizes that they have grown to care more for their found home and family than they do for their own people. She sabotages the abduction and goes on the run with the human girl.
Her friends are ordered to track her down, but now questioning their own mission, they find themselves wondering if the entire invasion is a mistake and if they have more in common with these Earthlings than they ever thought...

Numb and depressed, Helena struggles just to get through her college courses. She didn't expect to fall in love with a gargoyle. When the stones begin to crumble and war bubbles out of Hell, she must make an impossible journey to save her friends. Sapphic Gargoyle Urban Fantasy #QuestPit #Q #YA #F

Moodboard for Rooted in Stone, sapphic Gargoyle YA Urban Fantasy-
A stone face with its mouth open, like a fountain. A crow surrounded by twinkling stars. A stone angel in an attitude of contemplation, as on a grave. A stone hallway, like in a cathedral, leading to a pretty window. Colorful twinkling pastel lights, out of focus.

Words written over a dark black background with a crow motif-
Rumors say that St. Romain’s is haunted. That suits lonely, troubled goth-girl Helena, perfectly fine. Right away she is fascinated by the eerie sculptures on the campus chapel. Wounded by past rejections, she is reluctant to open up to anyone. All she wants to do is fool her therapist long enough to not get kicked out of another school. When she develops a crush on the mysterious and beautiful Kia, Helena learns her secret… Kia is a gargoyle. The statues are not just stone, but powerful guardians of a rift between worlds. These uncanny guardians quickly find a friend in Helena, but she hides a dark power of her own.
When war spills through the rift, the stones of their beloved chapel begin to crumble and Helena is drawn into the battle to protect the world. Trapped in a strange, technicolor netherworld, our goth-girl heroine must face the darkness within or risk the collapse of both worlds and the destruction of her newfound family of stone… and Kia with them.

An agent’s guide to Anterograde, a 69k-word adult sci-fi horror novel by A.A. Hampton

An image of skyscrapers extending into the sky, with descriptive text explaining the pitch.

The pitch: When Ryan Williams accepts a job training AI for an eerie corporation called The Company, she’s determined not to mess up this time. So what if her coworkers are disappearing? Anything is better than ending up back on the job market.

But when she starts fighting with her partner about things she has no memory of, she suspects something is very wrong with her—and that her new employer is responsible.

With her personal life crumbling around her and the threat of layoffs looming, Ryan must decide how much she’s willing to risk in her search for answers—and whether the promise of stability is worth sacrificing her identity.

Images of comp titles over a close-up shot of blue server wires.

Anterograde combines the dark technological satire of Black Mirror with the corporate dread and horror of Abyss by Nicholas Binge and the memory-based mystery of There Is No Antimemetics Division by Qntm.

a purple and gold spacey sapphic moodboard and a pitch.

12 years ago, Asteria became a god—almost. a group of heroes hid the last bit of power she needed to consume, and they've been running since. the heroes and their daughter Calypso have spent that time building a weapon to kill a god.

when Asteria captures Calypso and her crewmates to keep the heroes from using the weapon, Calypso sees her chance to fix everything. she plays a dangerous game, drawing Asteria in to find out her plans, tip off the heroes, and guide the god-king into the weapons crosshairs.

and as long as the god-king doesn't consume her first, it'll work.

perfect for fans of BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL (toxic, obsessive sapphic romance); SOME DESPERATE GLORY (queer, dark tones and spaceships); TLT series (magic lesbians in space); Mad Max Fury Road (yes it's a cult but make it Aesthetic); Borderlands series (futuristic mayhem, space travel, and magic)
