Still got a good chunk of writing in, even with the craziness of the shutdown ending! Dare I say the end of draft one is in sight??
Share your wins for the week! What did you get accomplished?? #FiFRevPit

From horror to fantasy to contemporary, setting is important, and can often become its own character. What inspired the setting for your story? #FiFRevPit #writersky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

BEAUTY & THE BEAST x STAR TREK
Roan, part of the last team of archaeologists sent to Earth, stumbles into an ancient bunker haunted by the AI mind of a trillionaire. She’s the only one who can fix his tech, but can she save him before Earth is swallowed by the Sun?

BATB x STAR TREK
🏺Roan thought she was going to Earth to save her boss after a failed expedition.
🤖 Instead she found love in the form of a repentant trillionaire trapped in an AI.
🥀 Will she risk deadly solar storms, stealing spaceships, and losing her tenure to save them?

I asked my boss to bring me back a disk drive from his archaeological dig on Earth for my research. Now he’s missing and his logs indicate he was after my data. My colleagues all think it’s my fault and I should go look for him, but I hate space travel. AITA?

PRINCESS MONONOKE x EMILY WILDE
Natural historian Heidi ventured into the cursed forest for her thesis.
She expected danger.
She didn’t expect to fall for her strange guide who presents her with a choice: help them start a war, or betray them to keep her family safe.

🪲 A naïve natural historian in desperate need of a guide through the cursed forest.
🌌 A non-binary rogue who will do anything to rescue their family.
👀 A plot to trap the rogue brings them together.
❤️ Their hearts will draw them closer.

Heidi isn’t interested in her family’s chosen suitor. She’d rather study the cursed forest to secure her tenure track.

NETTLE & BONE x STAR DAUGHTER
💰 Cheating a suitor out of his money to help her family was easy.
🌌 Falling in love with the night sky trapped in a mortal body is harder.
💔 And helping them return to the sky at the expense of her heart might just be impossible.
