an #agentsguide to #Thoroughfare ♡
.°˖⋆ ℧ 𓃗 .°˖⋆

A western gothic horror in which a sunshine Apostle must work with a grumpy outlaw to save the western towns from an eldritch horror spreading a virus of death.

♡ This is a novella! 26,500 words ♡

"Western-themed image titled 'An Agent’s Guide to Thoroughfare' features a cowboy on horseback under a starry night sky, flanked by illustrated revolvers." The pitch section with a background picture, aesthetic, and short pitch. Text: An Apostle shunned away in a Creedance amongst mountains and snow is summoned to assist an outlaw hiding amongst the desert plains..." A mysterious night scene with a glowing moon above a cowboy on horseback. A church is depicted alongside, with ominous red streaks. Text overlays describe a tale of an apostle aiding an outlaw against a monstrous threat. The mood is tense and atmospheric. A dialogue scene/snippet shows two people. Theodora, a woman with an intense expression, questions life after death. The Apostle, a blonde man, suggests life’s meaning lies in present love, not afterlife, adding a tone of reflection and calm. Alt text: A graphic with "COMPS, THEMES, TROPE" in bold. Left shows covers of "Tombstone," "What Moves the Dead," "Red Dead Redemption II," and "The Brothers Karamazov." Center features vintage and Western images as an aesthetic moodboard. Right lists themes like "Female rage" and tropes "Grumpy x Sunshine." Background shows a moody, dark setting with a church.

A burgundy background with the texture of velvet and engravings of roses. A guide to WHEN TIME RUNS OUT OF DEATH, a queer gothic romantasy. A burgundy background with the texture of velvet and engravings of roses. The pitch in the middle: In a world where power is in the mastery of pain, a disabled healer survives devouring agonized souls; every day, she reaps despair and revels in the shadows she casts from it-until one night, she is caught wielding forbidden magic by a prince and his knight, putting her life and anonymity at risk. Faced with no option but death, she joins the dangerous quest to cure the eerie wraith-infected land from the Omen-Chaos. A burgundy background with the texture of velvet and rose engravings. Atop paper cutouts, five snippets. "She wasn't clean. She breathed wet, sloppy sounds instead of whispers. Her hunger was never tended to before it began aching. The ground never caught her when she slipped. She bloomed in the dirt, with the world pressing her harder till her mouth was filled with worms and waste. There was no moving on only running away." "No one realized how far she had drifted off humanity before it was impossible to return. By that point, Cora's inconvenience was louder than her suffering." "They spoke of safety as if it was certain. As if this delicate, ephemeral thing made of whispers and spider's web could last. It would not. Safety has dirt on its face, blood on its knuckles. Skin hangs from its nails." "Cora wanted to know if the blood on her teeth had coagulated enough to become a poem or how much longer she would have to wait." "I do not come from the same soil people grow life in, Jamie. I will never exhale life on your tongue." A burgundy background with the texture of velvet and flower engravings. Atop it, on various frames to mimic torn paper, pictures of a pomegranate, two hands reaching for each other underwater, a woman with eyes closed and tears running down her face, a knight offering their arm to a maiden.

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

#QuestPit #A #S #SF #W
Made from non-AI free stock images. This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom: A novel by B. van Bodegom

F/NB 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 worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QuestPit #SF #A #Q #R #LGBT
Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 113,000 words "Did you hear? There's a human on board." A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling. alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human) PITCH: Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist. Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway? That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no. PRIORITIES: make dinner remain cozy haul cargo go for drinks pull off one last score try not to fall in love FIRST PAGE: “Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.” I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity. “Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.” “Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table. It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best. The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.” The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?” COMPS: Murderbot by Martha Wells Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers TROPES: Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm lying to themselves non-human perspective (afraid of humans) neurodivergent main characters metaphorically disabled protagonist slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship disabilitynorm and queernorm setting found family loveable pet/terrifying monster

Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're extremely attracted to each other.

It's only natural that they become friends with benefits.

All too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.
