PRIDE & PREJUDICE x STAR TREK: DS9
An asexual, rules-obsessed RA and a smarmy campus conman battle wits and their growing attraction. Queer Pride & Prejudice set in college, if Darcy wrote fanfic and Lizzie did crime.

What if a Quark/Odo (DS9) college AU (where Odo is an uptight RA and Quark is an overachieving conman) met a queer Pride and Prejudice retelling (where Darcy writes fanfic and Lizzie does crime)? 👀

For those of you fellow coauthors out there, do you prefer writing as a team or writing alone? ✍️👀🔥Theres pros and cons to both--for example, pro: you get to work with your best friend, but con: it's way too easy to get distracted now lol

Part of being an author is both drafting AND editing.... but which do you enjoy more? (and don't just say drafting only because we're all writers here, we want HONESTY AND NUANCE) 😜
Our queer romcom LESSONS IN TIMING was drafted and edited many times over ten years 😅 Check it out: a.co/d/1uAj0IW
