THE SOUND OF MUSIC x THE EXORCIST

Hell hath no fury as a nun scorned.

In 17C France, a small town is plunged into hysteria when a spurned nun accuses a priest of witchcraft, sparking a deadly inquisition. A feminist retelling of The Devils of Loudun.

If you know someone affected by the ban on disposable vapes, an easy way to help them with the withdrawals is to buy them a packet of AAA batteries and allow them to throw one into a random bush or front garden each day so they can still get their fix

CABIN IN THE WOODS×JOHN DIES AT THE END×KNIVES OUT

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly-written campaign. 🎲🥓

#WIPPIT #A #H #MM
The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title. #writingcommunity #writesky #a #spec #wippit #questpit #bluepit #dvpit

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 worst of all, a human who wants to be friends. #QuestPit #Q #SF #LGBTQ #R #A
“Did you hear? There’s a human on board.” A mood board for my manuscript: "SF heist meets F/NB romance: queer aliens rob the TED conference and complain about their human." The mood board’s backdrop is the interior wall of a spaceship wall with a single viewport looking out over an ocean planet. There are hexagon-shaped polaroid photos taped to the wall and a string of Christmas lights for cheer. On the right is a diagram of a spaceship on a post-it note with alien writing. There is overlaid text: Priorities: Make dinner Remain cozy Haul cargo Go for drinks Pull off one last score Try not to fall in love Problems: Gun-happy pirates, nosy crewmates, terrible translator software, cultural misunderstandings, and a ticking clock. Found family of dropouts and runaways: terrifying monster (ordinary human) agender ship’s cook (fussy) sweet little old lady (giant bug) loudmouth nudibranch (adorable) grumpy single dad (with a secret) autistic tween (with a bigger secret) renegade lesbian nun (big player) the mastermind (in over his head) Frank the cat (sleepy)

A collage of images, going from top left clockwise: a bouquet of colorful berries, swooping white towers with spiral balconies, a shiny purple beetle, a colorful shop full of knick-knacks, a blooming crocus in a dark forest, a drawing of a woman reaching out to the night sky as if to pluck a star, a crumbling castle on a moor, and mushrooms growing on a tree. In the center is a quote by Virginia Woolf: “I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything.”

Gregory Fletcher takes a scandalous offer: revive Harris's List. But when a childhood friend crosses his path and on to the list he must find a way to save her from the bets cropping up. Henrietta is unaware of the danger, focused on hiding that some days, (s)he's Henry.📚💙

Six overlapping pictures in the background contain scenes and portraits of Regency England. In the center is a photo of Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies, a historical document integral to the plot of The Lady and The List, the novel the collage is referencing. There is also a quote from the novel "He would have to cut himself in half, bury all the parts of him that were not identifiable as Henrietta, and try to subsist on a fraction of his personhood."

Dominating the cutthroat world of fine art always comes at a cost. But when a mysterious, deadly island from Ambroise's past reappears on the horizon, her search for answers forces her to choose between the man who holds her future in his hands, and the woman who holds her heart. #WIPPIT #HF #R #A
Painting behind title credit: Erin Kate Archer Graphic reading "A visitor's guide to The Anandrynes." The background is of a dimly lit Rococo ballroom, with an illustration of two figures in fantastical versions of 18th-century French outfits dancing in the foreground. One girl, Ambroise, has short, wavy red hair and freckles, and wears gold glasses and a religious stole over her goldenrod dress. She is looking with trepidation at a glowing pearl in her hand. The other, Manon, has long, straight white-blonde hair, and a slightly deeper complexion. She wears a mint men's coat with flared sleeves, and holds a black, mouthless mask behind Ambroise's back. The title is framed with white flowering vines, and the painting behind the title is of a group of women in pastel dresses dancing in a moonlit clearing, their arms full of stars. "After the appearance of a haunted island caused her to commit an unholy scandal, art history scholar Ambroise is determined to return from her five-year exile with a legacy that overshadows both her past, and the male critics dominating the fine art world. Her career is at the mercy of her professor Michael, who has promised her an audience with the prestigious art Salon in exchange for Ambroise working exhausting hours as the department's assistant. But when the island reappears on the horizon, her search for answers leads Ambroise into the arms of Manon, the magnetic president of the Anandrynes, a secretive, all-female academic society who believe the island is an ancient paradise full of precious artifacts. As profane rituals, forbidden knowledge and its seductive leader lure her deeper into the world of the Anandrynes, Ambroise's carnal temptations become harder to ignore, and her faith in Michael and the institution harder to justify. And as the island pulls her closer to its shores, Ambroise must decide who truly promises a path to Heaven: the man who holds her future in his hands, or the woman who holds her heart." Text reads: "Can't wait for me to write 'THE END'? Enjoy these..." next to framed covers of Bunny by Mona Awad, The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite, and Portrait of a Lady on Fire, followed by "while listening to these: 'Guilty Pleasure' - Chappell Roan 'Joan' - Madilyn Mei 'Icarus and Apollo' - Ripto 'Passerine' - The Oh Hellos 'Eastward of Eden' - Amelia Day 'Monaco' - Jude York" "Ambroise felt it coming, like a shrieking platinum musketball barreling towards the axis mundi of her skull. The wave of heat, the air swallowed up, words withering on her vine-tangled tongue. She looked to Michael, episcopal rings tapping against his writing tablet, fine calfskin shoe tapping on the oratorium's painted porcelain floor. A human metronome, always pushing her unflinchingly, mercilessly onward. On the table beside him, an hourglass trickled to a stop. Five minutes passed already? "I'm so sorry," she said hoarsely. "I've forgotten the rest." Michael turned to two students who had been counting on their fingers. "How many times did Miss Sadoul say 'euh' before her memories escaped her?" "Thirteen, professor." Michael nodded slowly. "How truly unlucky."

Brilliance Overland is a prodigy who craves answers and adventure. Her invention— latticed entanglement aperture passthroughs (LEAP)—opens a quantum-based wormhole to a world more advanced, yet far more backward than she imagined. With her best friend Annie, Brilliance enrolls at Avram Circle, the premier science academy in a system of interlinked worlds, hoping to unravel their origins. But in a place where every relationship is entangled, every truth is knotted with lies, and every discovery leads to deeper complexity, Brilliance finds that her will and scientific principles alone can’t untangle the mess. Brilliance relies on Annie’s empathy to navigate the social brambles rooted in this new world, but as Brilliance buries her own “unproductive” feelings, Annie’s patience frays. When their friendship is tested, Brilliance must confront the tethers that bind her: Unspoken grief for her mother, whose voice and lessons echo as AI in her mind; the causal chains that connect her actions to unintended consequences; and the realization that even in a universe of infinite possibility, some bonds—of love, loss, and home—are impossible to sever. To survive forces that want to control them, Brilliance must learn that true understanding isn’t just about unraveling mysteries, but about embracing the beautiful, messy tangle of relationships and the tethers that hold us together—even across worlds. Themes: - Quantum entanglement as a metaphor for the complexity and messiness of relationships, regardless of time or distance. - Tethering as both a source of strength (home, love, memory) and a challenge (grief, responsibility, causality) - The interplay between scientific genius and emotional intelligence - The search for origins—of worlds, of self, of the bonds that shape us
