#FakeDating #MutualPining

#DVPit #A #R #RomCom #LGBT #ND
Picture of main street in small upstate NY town during Christmas, snow covering the road and trees. Text reads "The Christmas Boyfriend" Eli Reed is in his hometown of Cooper's Hollow, New York, visiting his mom over the Christmas holiday. This Christmas was supposed to be different — he’d finally gotten a boyfriend and could stop his mom’s worrying about how alone he was. Then Eli had walked in on Joe, balls deep inside of someone else in Eli’s bed, when he came home early the night before their train home. Merry Fucking Christmas. While Eli is trying to figure out how to walk back an out-and-out lie about having a boyfriend, he runs into former classmate Stephen Howard — a certified snack who Eli had his eye on back in the day, but the rules of high school were very clear: goths and jocks don’t mix. Not even dorky, sexy jocks. When Stephen hears about Eli's dilemma, he offers a solution to both their problems: Pretend to date and get their families off of their backs. Fluffy and funny and chock full of fake dating, mutual pining, and meddlesome friends and family — Merry Christmas, if only they can survive it.

THE LOVE HYPOTHESIS X10 THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU

Zelda doesn't believe in ❤️- she just pretends for TV.
A viral interview-> #fakedating hopeless romantic actor Henry. Chemistry & #forcedproximity-> 🎆🌶️
What's real? What's fake? Can Zelda overcome her fears & open her ❤️?
#DVPit #A #R #RomCom #LGBT #ND
Image of a couple sitting at a table in a fast food restaurant, text above them reads Dollar Slice Date The inevitable text from Lucia arrived around two hours later. L: excuse me??? did we forget to share something??? Z: hey lulu L: omg DO NOT L: do NOT hey lulu me rn, I will call a car right now and come over and kick your ass Z: jesus ok sorry for saying hi 😇 L: i’ll be there in 10. istg you had better have AT LEAST ONE bottle of wine ready when I get there When Lucia arrived, roughly 25 minutes later, it was without knocking, using her key and then sweeping into the studio holding her phone in the air ahead of her, screen facing out like a talisman. “What the actual fuck am I looking at here?” Zelda barely glanced up from the book she was not actually reading. Lucia was more fun when you played with her a little. “Hey babe—dunno, what are you looking at?” Lucia tossed her hair over her shoulder in a huff, flinging her purse down and then dropping onto the couch between it and Zelda, landing practically in her lap. She pushed the phone between Zelda and the book. “This, you horrible creature, this! Were you ever planning on telling me that you chatted up Henry Alden last night?!” Okay, any more teasing and Lucia was going to hit the part of her vocal register where she sounded like a hysterical tea kettle. Zelda closed the book and glanced at the phone. It was open to YouTube, with the clip of her conversation with Henry paused at the halfway mark. It was frozen right around the part of the interview where Henry had started to get the upper hand, with the tiny video version of Zelda pink-cheeked and open-mouthed as the tiny video version of Henry beamed at her, almost adoringly. Regular sized Zelda felt her cheeks begin to flush in sympathy with her miniature double. “Ohhhhhh okay, okay, I can literally see you blushing, what the fuck, Zelle?” Zelda shook her head. “No, it’s just—he’s—it’s just an interview, he’s good at interviews, he’s been doing these asinine step and repeat Q&As since he was what, like 10? When did the first Wyldmere movie come out, like late ‘90s? He’s a professional at this, and he’s an actor—it was just part of the bit.” “Urrrrrgh,” Lucia grabbed a throw pillow and buried her face in it, groaning dramatically. Zelda patted her sarcastically on the back until she resurfaced, tousled and maybe sincerely furious this time? “Don’t change the topic, you always do this, you’re very clever, we’re all aware, but please, just this once, humor me and tell me what happened!” So Zelda did. Not that there was really anything to talk about that wasn’t recorded in full stereo and color in the video itself. Lucia, to no one’s surprise, was left absolutely unappeased by this. “Wait—so that was it? You didn’t meet him before? You didn’t find him after? That was it?” Zelda shrugged. “Dunno what you want me to tell you, hon—it was just an interview. He’s seen the web series, he probably just figured I’d be up for a little fake flirting because of that?” Lucia goggled at her. Zelda raised her eyebrows defiantly back at her in response. Lucia groaned again. “See, this is why I keep trying to get you to go on actual dates, it’s like your women’s intuition for attraction or chemistry or something is broken or I don’t know, fucking rusted over from lack of use? That? That is not fake. Absolutely not.” God, those fucking murderous butterflies were back again, wings flapping relentlessly and making her stomach churn. Zelda stood up and headed over to the fridge. “Sauv Blanc okay with you?” “Obviously!”

This is the exterior of the hopper, with the monitors for the two cameras, the steadycam and the big one that's mounted on the boom you can see extending in the through the hopper's rear hatch. This is me with the cast! They're all in costume ready to start the scene. This is the exterior of the habitat. It's in the process of being dressed to look like something else. This is the inside of the hopper, the control area with the lights for the screens turned on. I got to sit in the pilot's chair.

GODKILLER X BONE SHARD DAUGHTER

A desperate heir. A disgraced warrior. A deadly assassin.

🏹 Cyclical Trauma
🏹 Found Family

#F #A #WIPPIT
Background: Ferns Title Card Text: An Agent's Guide To: The Daughter and the Nameless Son by Kelton Davis | Adult Fantasy | WIP | Estimated at 109K words Arriving in Query Inboxes August 2025 Background: Ferns | Six images surrounding a quote: A red forest, a sunset, hammer striking hot metal, red arrow fletching, an old, grizzle man, and a red-haired woman archer. Text: "You might be too broken to help me yourself," she said, all pretense of courtesy gone, "but if you're a shadow of the man he said you were, you ought to still know something at least. "Have you ever heard of an assassin who could change their shape?" Background: Ferns Title: Comps Images: Covers of GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, THE JUSTICE OF KINGS by Richard Swan, and THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by Andrew Stewart. Arrows connect similarities between comps. Text: From GODKILLER: Cross-Country Quest to Forbidden Land, Surrogate Parenthood (shared with THE JUSTICE OF KINGS) From BONE SHARD DAUGHTER: Disgraced Heir, Strong FMC (shared with both others) Background: Ferns Title: Pitch Text: Niozene has never been good enough. As the crown heir to the Mother, the living goddess that rules her country, perfection is not merely a goal; it is the base expectation, and one she’s never been able to live up to. Her flawless scholar’s education and polished career as a ranger have failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest mistake: she was born without the holy power that grants her family their divine right to rule. When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she officially runs out of time to impress. She is stripped of her titles and given a choice: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication—banishment from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as her last chance to show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter. Allowed only the help of another excommunicated criminal, a surly, aged tracker named Sonsan, and facing an assassin who could be anyone, she dreads she has lost her chance to return home before she has even left. But when Sonsan reveals the same shape-changing power as the assassin, she realizes there is more to her quest than she has been told. As they chase the assassin deep into a forbidden land, they must confront the buried history they discover they share, as well as the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, if they are to return alive.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE X BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL

Delaney wants to become a vampire. Riccardo isn't inclined to offer it when asked. But that's far from a promise of freedom for Delaney from the deadly game Riccardo decides to play with his brand new obsession.

#WIPPit #A #Q
Agent's guide to Shadows of Ourselves by Nicole Field, a 91k words 1980s inspired gothic vampire horror. One man's trajectory to self destruction across 5 long years. Text from opening reads: “It hasn’t been that long since I was turned into a vampire, I suppose. Less than eighty years. Not even a century. I only wish I knew… what I was supposed to do with the rest of it.” “Rest of what?” I asked, from between lips that seemed to have gone numb at some point before this point in the conversation. “What do you think? Immortality, of course.” Pitch: What do you do when a vampire tells you, "Run"? You do as you're told and try not to die. Unless he's willing to bring you back. Comps are Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, Running Close to the Wind, Dark Rise and MADK.

Three-panel moodboard consisting of three pieces by Alphonse Mucha. Left: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies. Center: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. This image is noticeably lower in quality than its neighboring panels. Right: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer. A golden filigree lines the bottom and frames the sides, partially covering the left and right panels.

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU × THE GOOD PLACE

Wren Vern is a rising star at Happy Death Inc., selling blissful exits to the wealthy—until one client won’t die and another coworker wants to. A sharp, witty satire about capitalism, mortality, and the true cost of a life well lived.

#WIPPIT #A #SPEC
a close-up photo of a man lying in what appears to be a casket. He’s dressed in a formal black suit with a white shirt and black tie, and he has a fixed, unsettling smile painted on his face—evoking both artificial joy and eerie stillness. The man’s face is pale, suggesting death, but the smile is jarringly wide, almost theatrical. The title HAPPY DEATH INC. is split into three bold lines, placed over the man’s face and upper chest in a playful, handwritten-style font that contrasts sharply with the dark theme. Above the title, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" At the bottom of the cover, in smaller text: "A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM" #writingcommunity #writesky #a #spec #wippit #questpit #bluepit #dvpit

To evacuate as many humans from their dying world as they can and uplift them into galactic society. Giving humanity a second chance at life. Terra-Renatus The new home for humanity. Terra-Renatus is a quiet moon resting within the borders of the Jada Empire. Granted to the refugees of Earth by Empress Celestia to start rebuilding themselves. Slowly acclimating into the greater Galactic Society they have been welcomed into. Elise Clarke One of the first arrivals of the refugee world of Terra-Renatus and member of the colonial militia. Elise Clarke looks to build a new stable life for herself and her adopted sister. Which is made all the more difficult by the trauma she endured on her war torn homeworld 8 years earlier. Her new life is turned upside down when Molzren pirates attack the Colony in a attempt to abduct the Empress' cousin. The kidnapping is thwarted by Clarke's heroic actions which leads to her being enlisted into the Royal Navy by Captain Lan Rigoc. The first human to be given the honor.

A moodboard for my sci-fi horrormance WIP, BABEL ON CALLISTO. On the top left is a glowing humanoid figure with a planet and rings orbiting its head. In the center, white glitchy text reads: "NOT ALL ENDINGS ARE THE END. SOMETIMES THEY ARE THE BEGINNING," repeated multiple times. Beneath that, a figure walks into a starry void shaped like another person, reaching toward each other. Other elements include a flatworm floating in a grid-like space, a silhouetted couple reaching toward each other in a virtual tunnel, and hands weaving a glowing galaxy-like thread.

The image features a man and a woman seated at a small square table in a dollar slice joint in NYC. The man on the left has neatly styled dark hair and a short beard. He leans back casually in his chair with one arm resting on the chair's back. He wears a tan cardigan with a geometric pattern over a cream-colored shirt, paired with dark green trousers. On the right, the woman sits upright, with her legs crossed. She has long, straight blonde hair, styled neatly. She is dressed in a pale pink button-up blouse that is slightly loose and tucked into a lime-green skirt. Her expression is playful, as she holds a slice of pizza near her mouth as if about to take a bite. The table between them holds two small, branded pizza boxes, a red condiment bottle, and a drink cup with a straw. The backdrop consists of a dark wood-paneled wall. The title text above them reads “Dollar Slice Date” in large, bold, and colorful lettering. The word "Date" is particularly prominent, written in red with a heart integrated into the "D." Sample from Dollar Slice Date pt 1: The inevitable text from Lucia arrived around two hours later. L: excuse me??? did we forget to share something??? Z: hey lulu L: omg DO NOT L: do NOT hey lulu me rn, I will call a car right now and come over and kick your ass Z: jesus ok sorry for saying hi o L: i'll be there in 10. istg you had better have AT LEAST ONE bottle of wine ready when I get there When Lucia arrived, roughly 25 minutes later, it was without knocking, using her key and then sweeping into the studio holding her phone in the air ahead of her, screen facing out like a talisman. "What the actual fuck am I looking at here?" Zelda barely glanced up from the book she was not actually reading. Lucia was more fun when you played with her a little.
