r/resurrection: I tried to summon my unalived brother’s spirit but now I’m stuck with the bratty crown prince of our rival kingdom 😫 what do I do??

A meme with four images. The first is a piece of paper that says “Resurrecting people is heathen behavior”. The next is SpongeBob looking at the paper. The last two are SpongeBob throwing it into a fire while smiling. A couple is making out. They’re labeled the MC and the newly resurrected love interest. The second image zooms out to show a person standing by awkwardly, labeled the MC’s brother who was m*rdered for the inciting incident “My brother was k!lled” = panic “I worship the Goddess of Justice, she’ll handle it” = calm “The Goddess refuses to launch an investigation” = panic

🚨 ALLISON SAFT READ MY BOOK & SAID NICE THINGS ABOUT IT 🚨
“Blood Beneath the Snow has it all: ill-advised love with plenty of bickering; chemistry that sizzles hot against the wintry atmosphere; and a brewing rebellion. A fun, propulsive debut that will have readers clamoring for the sequel.” - Allison Saft, NYT and USA Today bestselling author of A Dark & Drowning Tide

POV: you’re a writer and your characters have gotten on a horse—and you don’t know anything about horses #WriterSky
A screenshot of three texts all sent to the same person. The first says “ring ring bitch”, the second is a horse emoji and a police light emoji, and the third says “this is a message for the horse police”

It’s our sixth anniversary today. Dedicating my debut novel to my spouse was a no-brainer. From the moment I told them I wanted to be an author, they never said “if” but “when.” Couldn’t be more grateful to have a partner so fully in my corner. 🖤

Cross posting this here bc why not and—

WHAT IF YOUR TWIN WAS K!LLED AND YOU TRIED TO SUMMON HIS SPIRIT TO FIND OUT WHO DID IT BUT INSTEAD YOU GOT THE SUPER ANNOYING RIVAL KINGDOM’S PRINCE WHO WAS APPARENTLY UNALIVED TOO—

(and literally every character is queer!!)

A standing person walking through a haze of white smoke; stained glass windows reflecting sunlight; a grayscale photo of a person with long hair in water; a bonfire on the beach; intricate hallway with pillars; a shoreline reflecting the image of trees; two hands reaching for each other; a person behind a white sheet trying to push through.

According to Tw*tter, apparently editors lurk on profiles of authors whose work they think sounds interesting so…

If you’re lurking here, hi! I’ve written an enemies to lovers to enemies fantasy and a YA sapphic scifi retelling of Theseus & Ariadne that my agent would love to send you 😊

An illustration of two people. On the left, a white girl with long red hair pulled back into a high ponytail holding a gun and wearing a long sleeved black jumpsuit. On the right, a white girl with a pixie cut shaved on one side; her hair is black and she wears glowing blue glasses and a white tank top. She is holding a glowing blue machete and beneath her tank top there is a metal plate in her chest with scarring all around it.
