NAUSICAÄ X FF7 A possible chosen one, a man who failed and his destiny, and a woman rejected by fate are forced to work together to save their dying world. The group struggles against demonic enemies, anti-magic forces, and the possibility the world isn't meant to be saved. #SFPit #F #A #Q

A woman. A gas mask. A man in a suit. A 1920s style woman. A street. Sun.

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #SFPit #A #Q #R #SO #OV #LGBT

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 110,000 words

"Did you hear? There's a human on board."
A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling.
alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)

PITCH:
Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist.
Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway?
That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no.

PRIORITIES:
make dinner
remain cozy
haul cargo
go for drinks
pull off one last score
try not to fall in love

FIRST PAGE:

“Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.”
I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity.
“Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.”
“Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table.
It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best.
The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let themcome here.”
The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”

COMPS:
Murderbot by Martha Wells
Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

TROPES:
Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm
lying to themselves
non-human perspective (afraid of humans)
neurodivergent main characters
metaphorically disabled protagonist
slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship
disabilitynorm and queernorm setting
found family
loveable pet/terrifying monster

ANNIHILATION x BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN A prisoner. A scientist. Two exiles condemned to a lunar hellscape that holds back the darkness between stars. In isolation, they find solace in each other— until they awaken something that should have stayed sleeping. #SFPit #H #R #LGBT #WIP

Two astronauts float above the surface of a moon, looking up at a massive black and red eye-shaped swirl in the stars. Text at the bottom reads: “If Jack knew the deal Elias had made with the Devil, would he still insist they play house in Hell?”

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag. #SFPit #A #Dys #WIP

Made from non-AI free stock images.

This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.

2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.

3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says:
"A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

ARCANE x GIDEON A convict and a scientist descend into a toxic chasm to save their city. The mushrooms bite. The chill brings hallucinations. The deeper they go, the less human they stay...and the more the dark begins to whisper their names. #SFpit #A #Q #H #LGBT #SSF #agentsguide

BLACK SAILS w/ magic Eleanor became a pirate out of necessity, but a captain to help others. At least, that’s what she said, but when her childhood love needs her to abandon her greatest treasure hunt, Eleanor must decide where her heart truly lies. #DVPit #A #F #LGBT #MH #ND

010

Becoming a pirate captain and discovering a legendary dragon egg was only the beginning of Eleanor’s plan. But when her true love demands she abandon it all to save her family from a hostile takeover, Eleanor must decide what matters most: love or control. #DVPit #A #F #LGBT #MH #ND

SAPPHIC INDIANA JONES w/ PIRATES A pirate captain hunts a legendary dragon egg, but when a note arrives announcing her childhood love’s engagement to a prince, she must choose between her heart and her ambition…or spill enough blood to get both. #DVPit #A #F #LGBT #MH #ND

510

OPELIA CRAY x AMINA AL-SIRAF All Eleanor ever wanted was to be remembered. A goddess’s treasure could make her immortal, but saving the woman she loves could cost her everything. Pirates, princesses, and blood-soaked magic collide beneath the mercy of the sea. #DVPit #A #F #LGBT #MH #ND

100

A pirate captain, a divine blessing, and a dragon egg that could change the tides of power. Eleanor swore she'd never kneel to gods or kings, but when her lost love resurfaces on the wrong side of both, she may have to choose between vengeance and mercy. #DVPit #A #F #LGBT #MH #ND

If you love CaitxVi in ARCANE: Paxton is a convicted rioter with nothing left to lose. Lyra is a genius who will burn the world clean. When their stolen elevator traps them underground, survival means trust, and trust might turn into something dangerously real. #A #SF #H #LGBT #MH #ND #DVPit

A convicted rioter suffers in a toxic world without the sun. When a reckless scientist offers freedom in exchange for descending into the toxic chasm that powers their city, they must choose between destroying its corrupted core or watching it perish beneath the smog. #A #SF #H #LGBT #MH #ND #DVPit

The city runs on toxic smog and the air mutates flesh and memory. When a convict and a scientist uncover the truth buried in the Chasm, they must choose between saving what’s left of their world or watching it collapse. #A #SF #H #LGBT #MH #ND #DVPit

100

Descend into the layers of the Chasm: 🍄 Mushrooms w/ teeth in a dense wood 🌬️ A windy wasteland w/ stilt creatures ❄️ An ice forest haunted by memories 🔦 Silent tunnels darkened by light 💉 A river of souls & hospital of mutations 🏜️ A desert wasteland filled with secrets #A #SF #H #LGBT #MH #ND #DVPit

Above, the rich choke on filtered light. Below, prisoners harvest poison to keep the city alive. When a convict and a reckless researcher uncover what powers it, they’ll have to decide who deserves to live. ARCANE meets ANNIHILATION in a queer biotech nightmare. #A #SF #H #LGBT #MH #ND #DVPit

#LateNightWrite Eleanor’s last Captain before she left to Captain her own crew. He was one of the best father figures in her life and saved her from her own darkness - as much as he could

#LateNightWrite I draw inspo from mythical goddesses like Rän, the Norse Goddess of the Sea!

#LateNightWrite My dad got me into writing as a kid! Now I love writers like VE Schwab who can create such wonderfully immersive worlds and lovely prose

Maybe this is a me thing, but being accepted into this workshop is (more than anything) a relief. I haven’t felt the excitement or celebrated because it’s an unbiased party seeing my work and saying “this is good” and that’s what matters most in my mind right now.

My lower back spasmed, a main site I use for work had a major outage, and all my clean laundry is still on my couch. Is it too much to ask for good querying news? 😅
