"Hope is about possibility; it requires people to do things, even in the face of it all falling apart. And history is filed with people doing things to make the world better, even if they sometimes fail. But then others dust themselves off and try again. History is, at its core, about hope."
Finding Hope in History
History is about contingency, about possible worlds

TWELVE AND THE COALITION

They always said that the people who abandoned us must have loved us, because they could have sold us into slavery instead. It's hard to believe it when everyone else in this country is determined to prove we deserve our degradations.

Pitch: When the chosen Empress is assassinated, her disabled and gutsy ex-girlfriend must triumph over a dysfunctional family of ancient gods or submit to fulfilling the chosen’s grim fate as the gods’ eternal slave and weapon against mortals. 112,000 words Adult Crossover Fantasy Comps: Damsel (2024 film) Hannah Kaner’s Godkiller T. Kingfisher’s A Sorceress Comes to Call V. E. Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue Themes & Tropes: - Forbidden Love - Hot Banter - Feminine Rage - Anti-Chosen - Found Family - Second Chances - Dark Humor - Identity - Friends-to-lovers - Faustian Bargain - Choosing vs. being chosen Representation: - LGBTQIA+ - BIPOC - Mental Health - Neurodivergence Excerpt: A gaunt mouse nibbled greedily at a stale bread roll left on my lunch tray. I didn’t have the heart to give her a name as I might lose her too. The cast iron rods of the bed dug into my ribs through the thin mattress. I clenched my jaw to keep my teeth from chattering. The medications I was forced to swallow left a cotton taste in my mouth and a dull ache in my skull. The lingering scent of mud and mildew hung in the air, a long-forgotten tomb. I was not allowed visitors or to walk in the fresh air outside. The faded floral pattern of the peeling wallpaper was my only reminder of life beyond these walls. I pulled the threadbare blanket tighter around my body, hugging my knees to my chest. It did little against the chill creeping into my bones. The raging blizzard had transformed the courtyard into a churning white sea, rattling the broken window shutters hanging askew. At least no screams echoed through the halls today. Moodboard: Dark fantasy Victorian vibes with purple color composition. Top row, left-to-right: a Byronic, handsome man in black, a palace, a dark figure burning in hell fire, a masked female assassin of dark complexion holding a dagger, a serpentine forest trail at night marked with red flowers. At the center next to a silver plume is the text: “This world, my dear, is the slaughterhouse of noble ideals.” Bottom row, left-to-right: a dark gaslit street, a gaslit city blanketed in coal smog at night, a young woman in a Victorian gown, wrought-iron gates opened to a foreboding foggy estate in the dark, a trail of red petals leading to a dark stone temple gate.

A Memory of Moonkissed Malice Villain Era Protag Frenemies to Lovers Queendoms Found Family Fantasy Dark Academia Vampires Rage & Revenge Corrupted Moon Magic The Pitch 18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the school’s guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic, and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most. Chapter One The rain made it easier to rob his grave. My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night’s whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us. As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth. For Fans Of…
