We also would love to take a moment to remind everyone, no matter the outcome of today— we wanted to bring the #writingcommunity together and we hope we succeeded in that. You matter. Your story matters. You are good enough ❤️

As I wrap up #cheerpit soon here @cheerpitx.bsky.social I could’ve never imagined so many writers and industry professionals would participate in my silly little idea to spread positivity & holiday cheer. The creativity and love I’ve seen today has inspired and amazed me. Thank you so much!

IT X The Riverman: Max wrestles w/ an eldritch horror and ghosts like Scrooge did while trying to ID this girl found in 2 identical photos taken years apart, one found in a home owned by the local legend: a serial killer cult leader, the other taken by a camera trap miles away.

@cheerpitx.bsky.social Tai’s terrified of their new crewmate. Humans are violent pack hunters! And this one's irritating! So why can’t Tai stop thinking about her?

Happy #CheerPit, everyone! I hope you all had as much fun as I did! I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to come up with anything clever, but it was an absolute blast coming up with fun holiday themed pitches! What a great idea. Hoping to see this one again next year!

HALLMARK by Kevin Smith. Framed as a mix tape & set in a 90s ski town, two teens from rival high schools fall in love amid their friends’ shenanigans all while working to fulfill their dreams: he as a writer, she as an Olympic skier. Male fat positive. #YA #RC #cheerpit

Samara is a ghost, and the longer she stays on Earth with her ill daughter, the higher the risk that she'll become a deadly poltergeist.
But it's Aussie Christmas next month, & Samara can practically taste the BBQ, feel the tinsel, can smell the salty ocean.
Why would she leave?

THE INFINITE LIBRARY #cheerpit #w #sff There is a library that contains all the narrative in human history, and something is trying to destroy it. A group of agents, pulled from their own literary universes, discovers the plot - now what?

Avery grew up believing that training to join the League on her 18th birthday will result in unlimited wealth & power, to make Melbourne better.
It will, but she discovers she'll also be forced to assassinate men.
It's no surprise her fave Christmas movie is Die Hard.

The sun set. Slow darkness descended on this tiny corner of the world. Two souls suspended in mid-air over the river, stone and steel and wire holding them in place, halfway between a humble memorial and a parking lot, against sacred nature and mundane utility. #Q #A #CheerPit Stage 6 Does Not Exist

THE GOOD GIRL CHECKLIST
Haunted by looking like the mother who abandoned her, a young woman reconstructs herself like one of her father's collector dolls, which lands her in a Middle Eastern charm farm surrounded by mirrors.

2 people who would be on Santa's naughty list shouldn't be together. One is a rich recluse, the other, a slum-dwelling rebel. When their paths cross, despite their flaws, they realise falling for the enemy isn't the worst thing that can happen to them.

PRINCESS DIARIES x DIAL A FOR AUNTIES
It’s dire for Princess Sam at the Annual Holiday Ball.
She has to deal with her ridiculous ex while trying to trap her current-fiance redhanded with his girlfriend, and a heritage artifact gets stolen from the palace.

Vikings X Derry Girls = VIKING, NUN, MURDER, CHICKEN
Viking Tyr wants fame and riches but finds love and vengeance with Beatrice, a fake nun hiding a royal secret.
Tyr's favourite memory: listening to his father tell stories of Christian Saints by the Yule Log
