MONK & ROBOT X EMILY WILDE When a blight strikes, an optimistic archivist must track down her hero's fabled garden with the help of an archaic engineer—but secret origins and disillusionment lurk between hard drives and petals. ☀️ Solarpunk 🌷 Floriography 💚 Enby LI #QuestPit #W #A #SF #R

Floral background with the text Mending Glass. By Florrie Auclair. Solarpunk Romantic Sci-Fi

Character portrait of a blond woman making a heart with her hands. Juniper Penrose. An archivist specializing in botany. She idolizes the old world botanist, Miriam, who helped lead the resistance centuries ago. Optimistic and a little reckless, she seeks to uncover the past and find Miriam’s garden. Her drive to help people, sometimes comes at her own expense—like the reason for the mechanical leg she now cherishes.

Next to that is a character portrait of a nonbinary character with light blue eyes and duotone hair in black and blonde. Eli Winter. An aloof engineer who specializes in old world infrastructure programming trying to prove their skills are just as important as the nouveau programmers of the city. They leave their home and grandfather to help Juni break into archaic servers and hard drives—and often pull her out of trouble.

Comp slide with Horizon Zero Dawn, Emily Wildes, A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Violet Evergarden, and Fruits Basket. The text pointing at the various media are Ruins of a fallen industrial world, Solarpunk, Flower Motifs, Traveling to help others and find self discovery, Joyful but melancholic character connections, and Sunshine MC x Sunshine Protector

Data is as fragile as flower petals. That’s why Juniper, an archivist in a recovering solarpunk world, wants to immortalize the past in the Glass Archives. Safe from time’s decay, unlike the archaic hard drives of the old world. Specifically, information on her hero, Miriam, a botanist who legend says grew a garden of resistant plants—ones that could survive the blight ravaging their crops. But to find it, Juniper will need the help of Eli, an engineer who specializes in old world technology. Together they traverse ruins and follow a trail of flower language from village to village to unearth what led to the dark age of information. But Juniper starts to question her identity when they uncover that the woman she modeled herself after was not the hero she believed.

IF WE'RE STILL SINGLE 👫Two childhood best friends 💍One marriage pact 📝Seven things all couples should do before they say I do ♾️A million things that could go wrong 💘One chance to end their story the right way #QuestPit #A #R #Querying 8/1

A couple lit from the back, kissing in the snow
Text: An agent's guide to If We're Still Single

The Pitch
When Fiona unexpectedly ends up celebrating her thirtieth birthday by moving back to the tiny Wisconsin hometown she always dreamed of escaping, the one bright spot is the chance to reconnect with her childhood best friend, Henry. After a drunken night of remember whens, they agree to fulfill the marriage pact they made at seventeen.

The pair sets out to rebuild the magical friendship of their youth, armed with a list of things the internet tells them all couples must do before they walk down the aisle: try each other’s hobbies, cook together, travel, even... (gulp) have sex. Soon, the feelings Fiona’s always had for Henry can no longer be ignored. But Fiona never intended her stay to be permanent, and it’s time to figure out if she’s ready to redefine what--or who--home is to her.

Hello #QuestPit! I present the #agentsguide for my queer thought-he-was-dead second-chance romance steeped in necromancy & found family: Forged in the After 🗡📚☕🐾☕📚 #A #FR #F #R #Q

1. A dark textured stone background features a metallic gold peacock with intricate feathers on the left side. The title “Forged in the After” appears in large elegant white serif lettering. The author's name, Reagan Faerwyn, is below in white cursive script. A black banner at the bottom reads: “Adult Queer Romantic Fantasy - 99,000 Words”

2. On a dark textured stone background titled “The Pitch,” a black panel on the left contains white text: “When a psychic heir comes face to face with his presumed dead former boyfriend, they must together hunt down the source of dangerous mimic necromancy to protect their homes and the second chance they refuse to give up.”
On the right, an ornate gold picture frame contains a hand-drawn illustration of two young men gazing at each other fondly: one with messy red hair and round glasses, the other with silver hair, fangs, and pointed ears. The frame is decorated with gilded elements including a violin and a masquerade mask.”

3. On a dark textured stone background titled “The Flavor,” features a central collage of fantasy book covers including The Magicians by Lev Grossman, Kings Rising by C.S Pacat, Evocation by S.T. Gibson, A Taste of Gold and Iron by Alexandra Rowland, and The Witcher: Crossroads of Ravens by Andrzej Sapkowski.
Golden decorative arrows point to the books from thematic labels: Necromancy & Monsters; You & Me Against the World; Building Found Family; Fallen Prince x Disillusioned Heir; Second Chance Romance; Occult Rituals, & Inherited Bloodline Magic.

4. On a dark textured stone background titled “The Snippet,” a black panel contains an excerpt from the story. A metallic gold phoenix emblem appears on the right side. The text reads:
Donovan stopped at the kitchen’s threshold. Jerrik faced away from him, shoulders bare to the morning and duskfire tattoo finally visible in daylight. Black-inked phoenix wings unfurled on broad shoulders.
For a moment he stared. At the man, the ink, the herbs. A ritually trained war mage and the last pact bearer of the Dark Hearth, shirtless in the kitchen, humming.
A fantasy. It was what Donovan had imagined. Somewhere, in the handful of moments he had let himself want a life of his own, it had looked something like this.
But the longer he watched, the more he knew this wasn’t really his life, and mornings like this didn’t repeat without consequences.
His father could never know that a prince of Averath survived.

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days x Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses in A DUTIFUL PRINCESS’S HANDBOOK A Cozy Medieval Romantasy 🍰 Barbie for adults 🌸 Arranged marriage 👑 Princess x Prince 🕯️ Dual POV 🩷 Lovable family chaos #questpit #W #NA #A #RF

A DUTIFUL PRINCESS’S HANDBOOK

A Cozy Medieval Romantasy

How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days x Barbie in the 12 Dancing Princesses x The Princess Knight

The Pitch:
No one likes an arranged marriage, but when Prince Alaric is grounded from his adventures until he can find a bride, he accepts his fate and puts a ring on the first princess he can find. Princess Genevieve would rather marry a plant than a prince, so in a desperate attempt to make him call it off, she must become the most insufferable princess Alaric has ever had the displeasure of meeting. Yet as the wedding inches closer, and devious mental games are played, perhaps not all arrangements are as bad as they initially seem.

The last rays of sunshine still linger over the garden as I clutch onto my skirts and haste across the lawn. And just as the sun sets I sink onto my knees before the statue of Inessa, folding my hands as I throw a last glance over my shoulder for any of my sisters. Then I purse my lips as I wait for the words to come, my head bowed in prayer.
“Dear Inessa,” I start, and shudder at the sound of my own voice in the empty air. “Please don’t send me into a loveless marriage. I don’t want a life at court and I don’t want to meet a supposed soulmate today, so if you could just call it off an make sure it doesn’t—”
“I knew I saw someone lurking around the corner.”
I yelp as I spin around, fall over and scrape my palms on the cobblestone.
A masculine chuckle chimes as I push away the curtain of hair before my eyes, my face heating with every note.
“My apologies, I never meant to scare you, I simply saw someone rush by and had to know if I was missing out on anything.” His cerulean doublet becomes unmistakable as he offers his hand and pulls me up before I can protest, or run away, or fall into an endless hole somewhere in the the earth.
“You’re here with the Cordellian prince, aren’t you?” The words stumble out of my mouth. He looks even better up close—sea blue eyes with a circle of green near the pupils that sparkle with life and firm hands around mine, speckled with sunspots and veins.
His eyebrows knit together for a moment. “I guess you could say that.”
I pull my hands from his and tuck them away behind my back. Manicured hedges shield us from spectators, but with him here who knows where the prince might follow.
“Now what are you doing here, alone on the ground?” he says with a boyish grin.
I bob my mouth open and closed like a fish, stepping in front of the statue of Inessa like it’ll shield the tall marble from view. “Touching the grass?”
“Touching the grass?” His brows furrow in disbelief.

Anxious Letyf has no place on a world-saving quest, but when his elf-supremacist cousin declares war, Letyf joins the world's champions to protect their only hope—a child who can quell magic. In their way? World-hopping demon Lia, unwilling servant to the enemy. #Q #A #F #SFF #QuestPit #AgentsGuide

Title Page: WEB TRAVELER, Adult Epic sci-fantasy, 129k, dual POV. Art of an ancient staircase carved into a mossy cliff. tagline: "...is one small world worth dying for?"

Pitch Page: Letyf Duilles has no place on a world-saving quest. Elf-supremacist Roksa Morthir took everything from Letyf—his best friend, his magic, and his future. An outcast in his rural elven village, Letyf is a constant reminder that an elf with no magic is no elf at all. When Roksa returns with an all-powerful demon on his side, Letyf must defy his endless self-doubt to protect a young elvish prodigy in the war for Crelan’s freedom. Lia, the demon in question, doesn't consider herself all-powerful. She's served heroes and villains many times before. With a string of dead masters behind her, she needs a win, or her immortality and her powers will be taken from her. If Roksa wants to conquer his backwoods, fantasy home-world, Lia will just have to do it with gritted teeth and minimal complaints about the plumbing. After all, why would a world like this be worth saving? Set on a parchment background, with photography of a spring green forest behind it.

Comps: Parchment featuring five book covers: The Magicians (Magical Multiverse, I can't believe it's not Narnia, Anxious MC, Meta-fantasy, Classic Fantasy World Reimagined); This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me (Metapantasy, classic fantasy world, action-packed and bloody, dry humor, highly competent FMC); The Goblin Emperor (Anxious MC, No romance, deep friendships instead, Naive, fish out of water MC); The Bright Sword (No Romance, Naive MC, Action-packed, Classic Fantasy World, Epic Setting); Nine Goblins (Action Packed, Epic setting, Dry Humor, Highly competent FMC)

First Lines: Letyf drew back his arrow, sighting down the shaft at a kingbird on a low branch.

The bird cocked its head, beady eyes darting around, but they passed right over Letyf, crouched as he was in the brush. He adjusted his aim, gave the string a touch more pressure, and released.

The arrow arced away—and missed the fat gamebird by a clear foot.

-----

We arrived in my master's home-world with enough force to buckle my knees.

As I yanked the heels of my pumps out of the super-heated soil, my master turned to gaze around at the brilliant green hills of his land. The rise we stood on was dotted with little white flowers, the sky was a perfect blue, and the trees shimmered with promise. Even the ring of burned grass around us couldn’t diminish the sweeping landscape.

💉NATURAL BEAUTY x YELLOWFACE 👀 ELIXYR is an upmarket speculative novel complete at 88,300 words, in which a cult beauty company sends an underqualified intern on a deep-sea mission in Indonesia, to discover the next big thing in skincare. #questpit #Q #A #WF #ownvoices

Elixyr. 88,300 words. Upmarket Speculative

Pitch: A cult beauty company sends Greer, an underqualified intern, to a deep-sea research habitat in Indonesia to help hunt a creature rumoured to reverse skin ageing.
But when Greer falls for the mission’s head scientist and discovers what the company really plans to do, she must choose between the career-making future they promised her and stopping them from stealing what was never theirs to take.

It combines the beauty-culture deconstruction of Ling Ling Huang's Natural Beauty, the corporate absurdity of Natalie Sue’s I Hope This Finds You Well, and the satirical energy of R.F. Kuang's Yellowface, turned on the wellness industry.

First lines: Three months into my internship, I have my first work-related ugly cry.
Unfortunately, it happens while I am waiting for Marlowe in her office, where there is no mirror nearby to assess the damage. I can only hope my mascara hasn’t left black streaks around my eyes; I wouldn’t want Marlowe to know I’d been crying or, worse, mistake the smudging for dark circles.

TRANS/GAY FRANKENSTEIN RETELLING 🖤 Do you like dramatic queer people? Bloody gothics? Morally bankrupt POVs? 🖤 Do you wish Frankenstein had toxic boy kissing? 🖤 Do you think "The Monster" should choke Viktor out? Then do I have a story for you. #questpit #LGBT #A #H #Q #DF #HF (Querying in Sept.)

Dark brown background with write text that says OUGHT TO BE THY ADAM
Trans/Gay Frankenstein Retelling
It has two portraits beneath the text in the late victorian style of a femininely dressed Frankenstein's Monster, and to the right is Viktor Frankenstein's portrait.

Dark brown background with white text that says:
In 1897, after studying corpses and toying with electricity, medical student Viktor has created a man from his desire for his friend, Henry. Except shame forces him to make one final adjustment: female parts.

As his new creation gains sentience while vivisected during Viktor's university tour and begins to chafe under Viktor's thumb, a violent death and disobedience leads the monster to make himself into the man he was always meant to be.

Beneath says - 1890s gothic prose - Queer shame/RAGE - erotic body horror -

It has a late victorian style portrait of a man with long black hair and a blood splatter across it.

Two hands reach out in the style of the creation of Adam/ One is clearly stitched together.
Beneath is text that says:
“Then make me whole. Take away my anger, and I’ll weather the shame with you. I am not your bride, not your monster.
I ought to be thy Adam.

Large white text says "FEELS LIKE"
Beneath are four book covers with the text:
Toxic Gays
Queer, Gothic Retelling
Dark Academia Vibes

ARRIVAL X PARKS & REC A burnt-out lawyer escapes Earth expecting to build humanity's future, only to discover first contact is just another office job—with stranger coworkers, messier politics, and exponentially more paperwork ✨ Monet Inspired Planet ✨ Flirty Bi Alien ML #QuestPit #Q #A #SF #R

An Agent’s Guide to MEETING OF HONESTY by Florrie Auclair

A 100K romantic science-fiction novel

Title slide shows two characters in a romantic dip: an angry human woman in modern clothes and an alien man with flowing, iridescent hair against a soft pink gradient

Pitch Slide:
First contact has more paperwork than Gloria ever imagined.

When aliens arrive on the same planet Gloria's crew intend to colonize, of course they want the same land: the Sunny Spot, the only area with enough light to grow crops with a unique biome. But their territory dispute is moot if a toxic moss ravages it first. Gloria must now facilitate first contact and work with Emeric, the charming alien leader, to manage their shared collaboration.

From alien strangers to bickering rivals, Gloria finds herself developing feelings for Emeric. Until secrets shatter their growing bond. Now she must weaponize bureaucratic red tape and enlist the help of her crew to negotiate—but it means coming clean about her own secrets. At the risk of losing the only people she cares about (including the alien causing her problems), Gloria must be honest with them—and herself—to ensure humanity has a home and its autonomy.

Comp Slide:
The Left Hand of Darkness
Arrival
Parks & Recreation
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist
Translation State
Overruled

With the text: diverse cast, examination of cultural values, alien diplomacy & communication, bureaucratic satire, lush colony planet, legal conflicts, workplace rivals-to-lovers, and prickly FMC

Excerpt Slide

Image of Gloria, a human woman wearing business clothes with a clipboard obscuring the bottom half of her face

Text:
His other hand pointed to their adjoined palms. Beginning at their pinkie fingers, he bounced to the next digit and enunciated a new, unintelligible word. Each finger anointed until reaching her thumb. This was the oddest difference between their hands; his was longer with an extra joint. Clarity crashed into her. Her inhale sharpened.

Five fingers.

Across the universe, she met a new lifeform and they both had five fingers on each hand.

"Oh my god," Gloria breathed. Ironically, it was their shared features that overwhelmed her. Comfort should accompany commonality, but instead, it made this fever dream of an experience harder to deny. It was tangible that she was standing here with a bipedal humanoid with five fingers, even if his skin was blue and he had rainbow hair and feathery moth antennae. Either she was going to start laughing hysterically or throw up.

Warble, the alien agreed (she had no idea if that was an affirmative).

Between Fractures of Light
Adult Romantic Portal Fantasy

$PITCH The desolate world from Augusta’s dreams starts to blur into a chilling reality when a specter of swirling mist and shadows begins haunting her and kidnaps her childhood best friend, Theo. When the encroaching shadows come for her next, Augusta is rescued by an impossibly familiar stranger with eyes of fire, and together they journey into a world consumed by Darkness, an entity that feeds on despair and rot. There, the shadows hold Theo—and the world—captive. As she begins to fall for the man guiding her through the starless land, the line between the two realities starts to fracture. Augusta must face who she truly is and the choice carved into fate long ago: sacrifice the world she’s only just come to understand (along with her best friend) or the love she’s finally found. Before the Darkness consumes them both.$ COMPS

She blinked, and the figure was gone. Or maybe she was just seeing things again.

“Theo—” she started, but he wasn’t beside her anymore. “Theo?”

The movement returned. It grew into the shape of a person and then into something beyond. Long fingers, crooked spine, head warped. Panic rose in her throat.

Smell. Sound. Taste. Touch. Sight. Think, Augusta. Think. It’s not real.

What can you smell? Popcorn. What can you hear? The laughter of children, Christmas music. What can you taste? The cider in hand. What can you touch? The scarf around my neck. What can you see? The shadow in the shape of a person.

Augusta froze.

It hadn’t gone away. Instead, it only grew larger, more ominous. It rose in the night till it towered over the tents, the moon behind it blocked out by its mass.

A glimpse of tangled blond curls appeared in her periphery, light against the growing darkness. A hanging light exploded with a pop but no one reacted. Unease clawed at her in
