Three friends descend into an abandoned Cornish mine. Two return. Police don’t believe Alyx’s story of their folkloric encounter — those who do belong to a covert force. Strong-arming her way into their ranks leads to answers, but they come at a cost, and loyalty can be fatal. #QuestPit #Q #A #SFF

A mist-strewn Lake District landscape background. Centred is the title: TRINITY. Beneath, the subtitle: Contemporary Fantasy | 99,000 words.

The same misty Lake District backdrop. On the left, four vertically stacked images: a thin tunnel inside of a Cornish mine with bright blue copper staining. A Land Rover Defender with its fog lights blearing, making its way through a misty forest. A regal Lake District stone mansion, cropped to show the bay windows. An abandoned factory, empty, but bathed in an eerie green light. On the right, a white box featuring the following pitch text:

BRITAIN'S FOLKLORE IS ONLY THE COVER STORY.

When an urban exploration ends with her closest friend being dragged into the darkness by a creature of local myth, Alyx Delaney can't save him. Worse, nobody believes what she saw.
Refusing to accept Conor is gone, Alyx claws for evidence and uncovers
Trinity: a covert,
science-forward organisation that has quietly shaped Britain's response to the horrors hidden within its folklore.
Grief drives Alyx to unearth hidden truths that the powerful at Trinity kept buried for decades.

A misty Lake District background. In the foreground, three book covers: Adam Nevill’s The Ritual, Leigh Bardugo’s Ninth House and Samantha Shannon’s The Bone Season. Beneath, the title: SHELVED WITH.

✨ What if Mulan had magic… and instead of being rejected as a bride, she was rejected by the gods? 🌪️ Forbidden elemental magic 🎭 A stolen identity ❤️‍🔥 A dangerously perceptive commanding officer ⚔️SONG OF THE SICKLE⚔️ #QuestPit #Q #A #F #R

Song of the Sickle, an adult romantic fantasy, 115,000 words, first in a planned series by Megan A. Saraceno

The pitch: She’s hiding her name, her past, her power.
He sees through her every lie.

Rejected by the gods, Tessa Whitaker brands a false divine seal into her flesh and steals her brother’s identity to save him from a war he won’t survive. But when her emotions manifest unblessed elemental magic, she catches the attention of her dangerously perceptive commanding officer. If he uncovers her secrets, execution will be the least of her problems.

She can survive the war.
She’s not sure she can survive him.

Comps A Fate Inked in Blood, Silver Elite, The Knight and the Moth

Opening lines: Tomorrow, the gods would judge me.
Tonight, I pretended they didn’t exist.

I swung the scythe through another row of wheat. My shoulders screamed, but at least the burn was honest. More honest than twenty years of prayers that had earned me nothing but silence.
Sweat carved tracks through the chaff dusting my skin, but I kept moving. One more row. One more bundle. Anything to keep my thoughts off tomorrow and the bare stretch of skin on my forearm waiting to be claimed., pictures include: military training camp, earth magic, amber ring, abandoned watchtower, and incense

GLAZED & CONFUSED, 78,000-word contemporary rom-com When Milo gets dumped minutes before a couples pottery class, he does the only logical thing: shows up alone. Unfortunately for Briar, the overworked studio owner who swore off dating, their chemistry burns hotter than a kiln. #questpit #q #a #r

Mood board for GLAZED & CONFUSED, a 78,000-word adult romantic comedy. A warm, earthy collage features hands shaping clay on a pottery wheel, shelves filled with handmade pottery, a woman smiling while throwing clay, downtown Fort Wayne at sunset, a couple ice skating together, a curly-haired young man, a hand glazing a ceramic mug, and a couple embracing with clay-covered hands. Center text reads, “A Mood Board for GLAZED & CONFUSED.” The overall aesthetic evokes cozy creativity, second chances, playful romance, and small-town Midwest charm.

A smartass cyborg, a deeply tired gangster, and a literal manufactured pop star walk into a wall of sand, called by a revolutionary musician who’s cheated death. But in the ruined city beyond is a power far greater. #questpit #W #SF #LGBT #hopepunk

On a background of a cracked desert with a solitary, gnarled tree float four pictures suggestive of the ensemble cast. Far left is Eden, a wide-eyed pouting beauty who recently found out that she was designed and created in a lab. Her picture is labeled "A literal manufactured pop star." Below her is Terrah, a butch-looking Black woman sitting at a computer in sunglasses. She is labeled, "A jaded security wrangler," as she has spent much of her career doing street-tough work in spite of her considerable tech skills. Up and to the right is a robot-looking fellow, representing Cid, an ex-military guy who chose to replace his body with a mech, and lost quite a few memories along the way. His caption says "A smart-ass full-conversion cyborg." Below is a skinny figure crouching in front of a laptop, wearing some kind of headset with glowing red "eyes." The prodigy hacker of the group, like all of them, is not what she seems. Her caption says, "And a cat-girl hacker." Two text boxes provide more context. The first says: "In this hollowed-out world, they thought that this was as alive as they would get." The second says, “But when they cross through the sand wall into the digital jungle, they'll learn more than they bargained for about the nature of life.” Finally, in the bottom right is a text box with the words: Working title: The Thorn. Under this, a bulleted list. First: “Cyberpunk but make it about people.” Second: “What if an Al was traumatized though.” Third: “What makes a person ‘real’?” Fourth: “What does it take to change the nature of humanity?” Last: “No irredeemable characters allowed.”

I try to seem unbothered as he takes his time, walking back to the leather loveseat across from mine. He sits down slowly, soaking in my attention, but I can’t take my eyes off him. His arms stretch out lazily on the back of the chair, a prince of darkness surveying his domain.

The room warms. So warm that sweat prickles the back of my neck. I glance at the clock over the fireplace again. Terror wraps around me like the snake dancing on his forearm. I need to get out of here.

He cocks his head to the side, waiting, and I debate lying. There are no benefits to a demon knowing your name. Except my mind is blank. I can’t remember any goddess-blessed name except my own.

I knew it the moment he picked me up. His hair is combed too straight, his blue button down shirt is overly starched, his khakis pressed with military precision, and his nails neatly trimmed to the quick.

I can almost hear my best friend, Kayla’s voice in my head, ‘It’s find Maddie. He’s a nice guy. Why are you always trying to find the faults?’

It’s not like I’m doing it on purpose, it’s just that I have a type. And I really, really want to get away from my normal type and find a nice guy.

“You look beautiful,” he says as he presents me with a bouquet of flowers.

White lillies. The flower of death.

I used "cacophony" in Miraculous Horrors but it's such a not-good snip that I'm going with"racket" instead. Here's Joric predicting Fion's future ('cause he's been there) #WIPSnips #WIP #AmWriting #WritingPrompts #Writers #Writing #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #Fantasy #FantasySky #GasLamp #TimeTravel

He drew a long breath and laid both hands on the table. “On the nineteenth of Midwinter, it will snow on the Long Walk.”
She’d feared he was about to say something unpleasant, like he’d escaped from an asylum. Or he was a wanted criminal. Or worse, married. But that …“It doesn’t snow on the Long Walk, or anywhere in Fabel,” she said.
“On the nineteenth of Midwinter, it will. You will wake at first light to a racket, and when you look from the window in your bedchamber, you will see a coachman trying to dig his front wheel out of a snowdrift with the butt end of his rifle.”
Fion had only recently considered the possibility that Joric might really be able to see the future. Now that he was sitting across from her, describing some imagined tomorrow like a fortune teller at a traveling fair, it felt more ridiculous than it had in contemplation.

A love-hating mischief sprite sets out to sabotage her infuriating rival's matchmaking scheme, but after accidentally orchestrating the perfect meet cute, she discovers (to her horror) that she's better at creating love stories than ruining them, including her own.🧚❤️🌃😈 #questpit #a #f #w #rf #pr #r

"A Manhattan Summer Night's Dream" written in white against a photo of Manhattan at night

Phillipa Crane, or Pip, as she prefers to be called, is a mischief sprite, content to spend her days playing tricks on the unsuspecting finance bros of Manhattan and her nights DMing for her girl squad, the Pixie Chicks. That is until Leo Lovehard (yes, that's his actual name), a love sprite, decides to match up Daisy, the only girl in New York Pip has deemed too-cool-to-fuck-with, with Chase, Pip's favorite corporate Zillennial to bother. Pip refuses to let Daisy trade her hip 1970s-inspired vintage clothing shop for a happily-ever-after with a man who considers a trip to Costco to be a "fun night out." She does everything in her power to thwart Leo's matchmaking, but with every attempted sabotage, she somehow brings Daisy and Chase closer. When she begins to catch feelings for her overly romantic and painfully optimistic nemesis, she must decide if admitting she was wrong about love is worth her own shot at the feeling she's spent a lifetime avoiding.

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
At the bottom, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out and replaced with Peyton Freys

6/23/1996
“The Hills have Eyes”

There’s a collage of pictures. Picture one is of two people, one sitting on the counter with the other in front of them. Picture two is go a small-town street with snowy homes to either side. Picture three shows a row of high school desks. Picture four shows a box of police evidence. Picture five shows a group of kids sitting behind an abandoned building. Picture six shows someone flipping off a police car. Picture seven shows a paper with the words “Child Custody Hearing” printed on it. The last picture shows a boy sitting at a school desk, writing something into a notebook.

In the bottom right, it says ON SUB SOON

A fake case file lays open. On the left side of the folder is a sketch of a girl with a sticky note beside it that reads: “Emma Bridge is believed to have cut her hair. Police sketch artists have taken a guess at what she may look like now.” Under it is a map of all US railroads with another sticky note that reads: “Last seen in California, current whereabouts unknown. An anonymous tip reports she has made it out of the state.” Under that, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out, replaced with the name Peyton Freys.

On the right side of the folder is a clipping of newspaper that reads: “Hollywood’s Beloved Missing” with the date 4/13/1996 below it. Text on the page reads: “What we know: YA Contemporary (with mystery and romance), 82k words” “Represented by Amanda Wooden at SBR Media” “Runaway in hiding, fake identity (turned real identity), mental health rep, genderfluid and pan rep, found family, 90s small-town nostalgia.”  
A block of text reads: “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.”

Finally, a stamp says “On sub soon”

Those who are caught can’t remember anything. The government wiped their minds, & Mer wants to make sure it won’t happen again. But how will she escape govt agents, deal with betrayal, & let herself return a traitor’s love🌈 if the govt puts a chip in her head? #QuestPit #Q #NA

A tracking board, like one used by officials who are hunting down fugitives, features a collage of pictures on top of a map of New England. Headshots of a nonbinary pilot and a woman are on the top of the board, with another picture of them kissing on the bottom right. The board also shows a golden, old-fashioned plane that they used to escape. There is a picture of a microchip off to one side that shows the woman fighting a government agent, and a picture on the other side that is marked "top secret." In the center of the board is a gif of the woman holding a gun and pointing it at the viewer. She smirks and says “it’s good to see you, too.” The following message is scrawled across a scrap of paper at the top of the board: “in a game of mind-control, love and choice are always a memory apart.”
