When fairytale creatures escape into reality, an orphan w/ trust issues must rely on 2 ppl who know the original story: his privileged ex-bf & a girl who bleeds ink.

If they can’t get ahead of the plot, they’ll be trapped forever in a world of monsters. #QueerPit #YA #NA #DF
Three images: a boy in water, a book burning, and lighting with the words “she was as real as paper” written across.

Selwyn rarely accepts help. The orphan knows people are undependable, but as soul-eating creatures attack his town & time freezes, he must lean upon the mayor's son (his ex) & a paper-made girl who bleeds ink in order to save all he loves & himself. #QueerPit #YA #DF #NA

While filming a doc on the era’s most iconic actress, a producer inherits archive footage and must reconcile contradictions between it and her interviews to find the truth about the star’s untimely death—before her own dark past destroys all she’s worked for. #QueerPit #Q #A #T

18yo Selwyn collides w/ an eerily familiar girl made of paper who bleeds ink. Now a story is cut loose; & they must outrun the plot before it devours them.

A mood board for the book Blood Like Ink. It depicts forests, people within them, and ink splattered across the image while the words “I am wood. I am rot. I am, I am, I am. Tree. Leaf. Root. “You’re real to me.” Real to who? Tree. Leaf. Root.” Is printed across the image.

"Fuck me, Troy."

“That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.”

#1stlinepit #A co(s)mic #Horror #WIP

Query ready this summer at approx. 75k words!
moodboard layout with 9 squares 3 x 3, 6 have over the top terrified men (the dads), along the top and bottom 3 squares. Blood decal drips from top squares through the middle to the bottom ones. A Victorian mansion silhouette sits in the middle most left square, the title DAD BODIES in the middle, and right of that is the silhouette of a d20 with a skull icon showing. DAD BODIES on top of a black d20, black background. To the right, PITCH & COMPS, CABIN IN THE WOODS X JOHN DIES AT THE END X KNIVES OUT, when their detective friend is murdered during annual gaming retreat, 5 dads nust use their years of ttrpg experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like npcs in a badly-written campaign. "Fuck me, Troy." “That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.” Dave averted his gaze from the bloodied corpse of their friend to face him. “Really, Troy? Now?” Troy shrugged. “Marv would’ve laughed.” The grin on his face faltered. Marv was lying in a pool of his own blood. The cause of death was clear, the hilt of the murder weapon protruding from his back. Since Marv was stiff as a board—not much different from his current state—they could rule out suicide. Marv was also more inclined to stab others in the back instead of himself. DAD FRIENDS, HORROR AND MYSTERY, DARK HUMOR, SECLUDED MANOR, TTROG ELEMENTS, DARK AND STORMY NIGHT. 3 SQUARES next to each other. Firat contains silhouette of an old mansion, middle has TITLE DAD BODIES, thirs has a skull on a d20

Being summoned by Vanessa Vine was a privilege most witches would gouge their neighbor’s eye for. Since Brisa received the official summons five days ago, there was no excitement, only the type of anxiety that sows its seeds into the folds of your brain. #1stlinepit #WIP #F #R #H

Heir of Night Pitch: A princess disguised as a man competes for her stolen throne to defeat a demon possessing the dynasty of kings, while fighting against monsters, societal conventions, and her own growing feelings for a competitor. Heir of Night Blurb: When the brutal assassination of the king leaves Karop without a male heir to the throne, his daughter steps up to take her place as the nocturnal desert nation’s first ruling queen. But Sapina’s fiancé and his ambitious father betray her and propose a contest to choose a new king, leaving her to marry the winner and continue the bloodline: Powerless. Tame. A good little consort. Filled with righteous indignation, she disguises herself as a man to compete. Her ruse works until she meets Howen, a fellow contestant whose disarming banter and charm pit her desire to win against her longing for true connection. Too bad she isn’t the only one in this competition who isn’t what they seem. As the trials begin, a long-forgotten magic manifests, plunging the contestants into a mystery they never anticipated. Sapina uncovers a suppressed history, a possessed dynasty, and an immortal war that threatens her kingdom even more than human prejudice. Can Sapina lean on her small band of allies to save it, or is it better to trust her enemies? HEIR OF NIGHT Comp Titles: A Song of Wraiths and Ruin series (Roseanne A.

The most iconic actress of my generation entrusted me with archive footage of herself spilling her most intimate secrets. AITA for using the footage to—whoops, can’t tell you that yet, I’m an unreliable narrator 🤪

🧵So I did something recently that wasn’t even on my radar until very recently. I submitted a manuscript to #revpit. It’s a thriller I’ve been working on since last summer. It started as a place to have an outlet while things were very much up in the air with my publisher for THE AFTER HOURS.
