SERIAL DATING | Adult Horror Rom-Com Inverted Tropes: 🛏️Too Many Beds (it's a bunk bed situation) ❤️Co-workers to Friends to Lovers (No enemies here) ☠️Neither FMC or MMC are Serial K!llers (but everyone else is) ☀️Perfect, Sunny Weather (no dark & stormy nights) #QuestPit #W #A #H #R

Picture of a forest of trees. Text: agent guide, adult horror rom-com, projected 70K, current 40K, Serial Dating, by Ally Boyd

Picture of rock half in a lake, half on the sand. Text: The Pitch, While vacationing at a remote lakeside cabin, the daughter from a dynasty of eccentric k!llers struggles to shield her new boyfriend from her family’s gruesome legacy, but the sunny lakeside retreat turns deadly when a k!ller from her past turns the camp grounds into hunting grounds.

Picture of lake and trees reflecting in it. Text: the comps, Lights Out by Navessa Allen, Ready or Not (2019), Dating & Dismemberment by A L Brody, The Book of Knives by Lise Haines

Picture of trees. Text: The Opening. I’m pretty sure the guy I matched with is a serial k!ller.

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.

Local Heavens X Fahrenheit 451 🖥️ Chronic Illness Rep 🎙️ Mind Control ❤️‍🔥 Rivals to Lovers 💖 Sapphic Romance 🎚️ Art as Resistance #questpit #A #SF #D #W

Text in the center of an old analog television reads "An Agent's Guide to Hell or Hardwire." It is bordered on two sides by rainbow electronic glitch background art. Along the side is binary code which translates to "Free your mind." The top border has musical notes in treble cleft on a staff. To the right are grayscale bars of TV static, the words "Adult Dystopian Sci-Fi" with a white glowing wolf's head outline between it and a final text of "80k Words" at the bottom.

Top and bottom of the image are bordered with rainbow electronic interference graphics and black and white TV interference. The title text reads "Loading Additional Media" and it features books "Local Heavens" by K.M. Fajardo, "Seek the Traitor's Son" by Veronica Roth and "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. There is also an image of the electronic music artist Daft Punk and the album cover for My Chemical Romance's album "Danger Days." The same binary code from the cover borders the image on the right.

Title text reads "Mission Status (Pitch)." It then has a white paper like box with the text, "When a digital music artist interrupts a heist, she becomes entangled in an underground Robin Hood style crime syndicate bent on destroying the corporite elite. Their leader, an infuriatingly likable rogue, and their plan to free the city from technocratic mind control clash with her own elaborate plot. As her body modifications slowly make her sick, she'll need to trust the rebels she once wrote off or risk time running out on both their plans." Below this is a box of black and white tv static with the faint outline of "Nero Relies on You," but the R and E in "Relies" is in black while the other words are in pink so it can be read as "Nero Lies on You." A text box to the right lists tropes: Chronic Illness Rep, Rivals to Lovers, Music and Fandom as Resistance, Sapphic Romance, and Feminine Rage." The right of the image is bordered by a black and gold circuit board.

Right border has glitched rainbow and black bars from a TV screen error. The title reads "Sample Code (Snippet)." On the right are antique images of Charles Babbage's brain with a diagram of a brain chip over the left lobe. Text reads: "Chapter 1: Stage lights crackle to life with a wave of electricity before rotating to illuminate my metallic form. I feel the crowd's frenzy, the way it lifts me, the way they yearn to rip this armor off and find the soft core of me inside. No one knows who I am, but they all love THE MACHINE GIRL. I star at the blank mass of shadow bodies, whose vocal cords swell with a name I chose for myself but isn't mine. Their response isn't biologically impressive. As the bassline of the track floods into the theatre, people twist and gyrate, but so too does a corpse dance post-mortem after succumbing to a knife wound. I would know.
