Lucy just wants to get through first year university as one of the crowd.

No more talking about her. No concerned faces over her anxiety. No coming out.

But now her crush is living across the hall, newly single and snuggly and Lucy’s feelings are getting too obvious.

Title 'friends & roommates' overlaid on top of various photos and subheadings. Subheading: anxiety with words “Fine sounds less accurate the more you say it” and the image of a woman sitting with her head on her knees and an arm wrapped around them. Subheading: crushes with text “soulmates can be platonic” and an image of a young woman with short hair looking back over her shoulder at the camera. Subheading: university with images of woman sitting on ground in dark reading a book and sitting on the floor, typing on a laptop. Subheading: parties with images of young people sitting on the stairs with drinks, laughing. Subheading: LGBTQIA+ with text “It’s pansexual, actually” and images of two gender-nonconforming young people leaning on each other and a young woman holding a rainbow-coloured heart on a stick and smiling. Subheading: new home with images of two women laying on their backs on a bed looking at a book together with their legs up the wall and people standing and sitting on a set of outside stairs, grouped together.

Current Read: Redneck Revenant by @drslayton.bsky.social. Fourth in queer contemporary fantasy series, with witches, fae, reapers and a central MM relationship. In this one, is someone who died in an earlier book back or is something more sinisterly supernatural happening?

Cover for book Redneck Revenant by David R Slayton. Tagline: The past never truly dies.

🩷 New adult MMF romance
💜 Explicitly bisexual & polyamorous
💙 Existing couple & their new plus one
❤️ Only one night? No. Just keep it secret.
🖤 Love triangle? Not really. Does it get messy anyway? Absolutely.

Background image of man putting finger to lips. Text reads: The Great Throuple. If their secret comes our, so does he. New adult romance. Michelle Ogilvy. 78,000 words. Pitch: Dean is still in the closet as bisexual to everyone except his girlfriend, Trish. When he and Trish decide to explore polyamory in secret, the man they choose happens to live with Dean’s classmate (the one with a crush on Dean). If their secret comes out, so will Dean. But the longer the relationship lasts, the trickier it becomes to keep both the secret and the man. Underneath are three images with names and descriptions. Dean: Introverted over-thinker who is loyal, stubborn and braver than he believes. Image is of nervous looking young man leaning against a brick wall. Trish: Confident on the outside extrovert who is full of insecurities on the inside. Image of young woman with long red hair and an unimpressed expression. West: Loudmouthed extrovert, told he is too much so many times, he thinks it’s true. Image of young man in hat with cheesey grin. Comps. Images of covers for books The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy and Unromance by Erin Connor. The following text is overlayed, with arrows indicating similarities with each: 3 POV, MFM, New Adult, Secret relationship, ‘only one night’, Teasing banter, Bi rep, Actor MC. Opening lines: Dean had fucked up. He needed Trish to make it better. He needed her to console him after the most awkward, idiotic social blunder of his life. He needed her to not be mad at him about this. There was little chance of that last one. Underneath are images of a woman and man looking at a phone, a stage, two men standing close to each other on a stage, three people laying together, a woman with finger to lips, two men sitting on a bed together, a woman holding hands with two other people and a woman looking shocked.

#DVParty day 4: the story of my #amquerying NA MMF romance, The Great Throuple, in meme format.

Dean’s plan for when your male crush asks you out and you're in the closet as bisexual*

*(very much making this up as he goes along)
The Gru meme showing a plan with the following steps: 1: Tell him you have a girlfriend, so he stops. 2: Tell your girlfriend about him because you’ve accidentally invited him to meet her. 3: Have a threesome with his housemate and your girlfriend. 4: Swear housemate to secrecy. 5: Date housemate as throuple … until it all blows up in your face.

Dean is not out as bisexual, so when he and his girlfriend begin a polyamorous relationship with a man who lives with Dean’s classmate (the one with a crush on Dean), things are bound to get messy as they try to keep it all a secret.

I’m not sure how I feel about being a necromancer, but being both creative and logical, and very into honesty and alone time is super accurate so…

Here for the wrong reasons is a sapphic romance between contestants on a dating reality show.

Currently reading Nightmare Before Kissmass. Romance between prince of Christmas and prince of Halloween. Not the right season for this but my library hold came in!

Made a moodboard to use as motivation while drafting. The images were chosen for the vibe of characters/story. It helped keep me in that head space.

Unexpectedly, the image at the top became inspiration for how I saw the FLI. She now has long red hair canonically. 😂

When Dean’s male classmate/crush asks him out, in a fit of bi panic, Dean introduces his crush to his girlfriend. That night, she initiates a threesome with the crush’s housemate. No one can know. If this secret comes out, so does Dean. But one night just makes him want more.

Dean likes men. So does his girlfriend.

Finding a third to allow Dean to explore his bisexuality? Easy.

Keeping Dean in the closet when their new man lives with someone in his class? One night can’t hurt.

But one night isn’t enough, and secrets have a way of getting out.

Elle doesn’t want a second-chance romance, she wants revenge, heartbreak for heartbreak.

She’ll pretend forgiveness, pretend love, until her ex hurts as much as she did back then.

But the line between fake and real is harder to navigate than she expected.

A disaster bi and a sceptic ace accidentally free a soul-eating smoke monster.

Or they’re being lured into a cult with fancy special effects. Depends on which one you ask.

One thing they can agree on, their weekend just got a lot weirder and more dangerous.

The job had one rule: don’t open the car’s trunk.

Should have been a second rule: don’t give your friend a lift or she will absolutely break the one rule.

Now, an interdimensional smoke monster is free and hungry for souls.

Triple sec maybe? I haven't read it, just heard an interview with the author. It's the only one that comes to mind when people ask for poly or throuple. But if you get any good ones, I'd love to know too! 😅

I'm working on a New Adult contemporary romance MMF bi4bi+bi. It started off a little spicier than I'm used to but has devolved into my usual angsty mess. 🤷‍♀️

Update from the last I spoke on it during #revpit, I have some ideas for how it ends now. 😁
