A fox demon bard seeking to become human.
A demon hunter with a wish of his own.
And a race to the top of a wish-granting mountain in this Asian-inspired romantic fantasy where love might just be the deadliest obstacle of all.

How to make ALIGNMENT:
- 1 scrappy barista w/gift for enchanting
- 2 old flames (1 MUST be evil)
- 1 total solar eclipse
- 2 forms of illegal magic
- 1 pkg Sharpies

Shake together with 2 large scoops of romance. Garnish with faerie dust. Makes 1 chance to save the world.

First row: black and white vintage coffee shop sign; half-shadowed image of a young man’s upper face with tan skin, tousled dark hair, and eyes downcast; a purple night sky with a silhouette of a house with one orange window partially obscured by a bare tree branch string with white fairy lights. Second row: Photo of a hand curling around a bright green glowing orb; a color shot of a solar eclipse surrounded by clouds; a black and white photo of two hands, both male, one with fingers lightly brushing the back of the other hand. Third row: a purple Ferris wheel at night; a wall of Sharpies for sale at a store; a photo of a broken cathedral window covered in green ivy.

Dark academia x DIY punk

Determined to have one last memorable summer after college graduation, best friends Kat and Molly must navigate toxic men, small town secrets, and the Appalachian gutter punk scene without losing themselves, or each other.
#BluePit #Q #A #NA #OV #LGBT #BluePit📖
On a pale floral background, surrounded by line drawings of flowers and mushrooms, text reads ‘An agent’s guide to This Used To Be Home by Grace E. Ludlow! 94,000 words contemporary literary fiction’. Below on a stained napkin reads ‘Best friends Kat and Molly look forward to one last summer together in their small college town before going their separate ways. Kat works at the town diner and ponders her future while Molly accepts an exclusive internship with a top entomology professor- an opportunity that can kick start her grad school experience. Howeer, when a mysterious man whose handsome face hides a checkered past takes the open line cook position at the diner, the girls’ lives are irrevocably changed. Seduced by his carefree gutter punk lifestyle, the girls must navigate toxic men and the systems that protect them, redefining their identities post-college, and their own complicated relationship to make it through the summer without losing themselves or each other’. On a white background, a tan piece of paper holds a text block which reads “The town of Charlesburg, Virginia died in the summers. Well, not really, but like most other towns centered around a major university, about three quarters of the population did leave after graduation weekend. May lay heavy on the town like frosting on a cinnamon roll, the syrupy-sweet heat melting into the valley and running through the streets. The buses, typically so punctual during the semester, ran a limited schedule, leaving Katlyn Fredricks to walk the half mile from the apartment she shared with her roommate Molly to her job at the town’s diner. It wasn’t too bad, at least if she worked the opening shift. Setting out before six meant she avoided the heat of the sun, amplified by the weighty humidity of southern Virginia. Even in the early morning hours, it curled around Katlyn with sticky fingers, causing her uniform shirt to cling to her skin. She kicked at a rock on the sidewalk, scrolling through the music downloaded to her phone. Her fingertips caught on the crack that ran through the screen as she selected a song to help her wake up a bit, at least until she could grab a cup of coffee. The sun crested over the blue mist of the mountains that cupped the town like a set of hands, the cicadas quieting from their nighttime serenade. If only she had the time to appreciate her surroundings more, go for a hike or take a lazy day floating on the river like a typical college-aged kid. Unfortunately, the gavel of rent hung over her head, so work took precedence.” The page is titled ‘first page’ and the text is surrounded by a scientific drawing of a butterfly, a few silver studs, a receipt, a ticket, a few colorful leaves, safety pins, and a butterfly-shaped enamel pin. On a green fern-printed background are four book covers. The page is titled ‘comps’. The first book is Demon Copperhead by Barbara Kingsolver, along with a note that says ‘Appalachian setting’. The second is Nana by Ai Yazawa with a note that says ‘Homoerotic roommates + punk culture’. The third is The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo with a note that says ‘Bisexual friends to lovers’. The last is for the Amazon original Fleabag with a note that says ‘Messy 20-somethings with bad taste in men’. Also in the image are cutouts from a guide about butterflies, some graffiti, studs and safety pins, a dried rose, and a brass pin shaped like a dragonfly. A cassette tape case sits in the center of the page with words written on the back insert. It reads “ Trope playlist- friends to lovers, love triangle (that’s actually a triangle!), own voices Queer/Neurodiverse rep, open door romance, small town secrets, manic pixie rat man, dark academia x DIY punk, breaking the cycle, coming of age”. At the top left corner is a QR code with a note saying ‘Listen to the Playlist!”. Behind the tape is dark paper with a star pattern. At the bottom left is a pack of cigarettes as well as a cigarette beside it and two safety pins. The bottom right is an illustration of a bee landing on a flower. The top right has a white graduation tassel as well as another bee illustration. At the top center is another image of a butterfly.

I think the strongest emotion I’ve felt is the frustration of a plot not working that comes *right* before you strike gold/figure it out. It’s that cusp of realization that bolsters the writing forward.

A young woman desperate to help her grieving father and repair her family strikes a dangerous deal that makes her realize she still has much more to lose. Magic always comes with a price, and not always is it kind.

Kit loves to unwind with either writing some poetry or reading a good book, but that’s if she can keep her worrying thoughts from distracting her!

It’s said that any curse can be reversed, but the way to do it is not the same for each. Dark is picky and spiteful, and it does what it can to cling to its host. It’s said one man broke his own curse by eating an entire bar of soap after he was cursed for being a pathological liar. #CampRevPit

What's a camp without that one local legend passed around the campfire?
Today, your manuscript is that legend! Create a campfire myth about your WIP's world. Spooky, silly, or serious—go wild!
#CampRevPit
On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the firefly clings to a branch and dangles a tied stack of story notes from a stick with the label “Darlings” written on the top page. The caterpillar reaches for the tied bundle of notes with mouth wide open, ready to chow down. Behind the tree, which still has bite marks from the caterpillar’s previous meal, the mantis holds her claws to her face in dismay. Dawn is beginning to tint the horizon red. The image has the text #CampMyth at the bottom.

Good morning, #CampRevPit! Today, we give your villains a moment in the spotlight.
What would 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 say your book is about?
On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write.

Keep your wits about you, and be careful when making deals, especially with witches! Magic is a fickle, mischievous thing, and everything has a price! Making connections is going to be super important - knowing the right people in the Cogsmoore can make a difference!

After finishing my first big novel, I wanted to jump into something that would capture my heart the same way. I wanted to write something meaningful, but also whimsical and charming, because that kind of stuff is both a comfort read and write to me. I take inspo from Studio Ghibli!
