Bells brings whatever Matron Grunt and Manny the Castle Stove deem appropriate, which might be six courses.

The Demon Supreme brings demons, sex, and a BDSM floor show. (It's like inviting Sanguine. Everyone knows what they're signing up for.)

red wallpaper background, to the right is art by @nelsnote of a man looking up holding a bloody book, the light on him is coming from an angel wing and there are eyes in the dark behind him. he has an awestruck expression. to the left is, in gothic print, adult queer gothic horror romance, underneath that says ready for betas December 31, then under that the title forbidden fruits, with a honey drip underneath. to the left a red and black-themed moodboard: around the top border and right border: someone falling through red-tinged clouds; someone in white embracing a dark shadow with a halo behind them; someone standing at the top of some stairs, surrounded by giant red bulging eyes; a faded black and white photo style picture of a dark smudge shadow and the shape of someone hooking their head over the shadow’s shoulder, crying dark tears; red-toned painting of an angel with three eyes. The left space is occupied by a text image, gothic white on red, that reads ‘the problem with angels is sometimes they talk back’ over and over again. on top of that picture, picture of a painting of an eye with a large gold star growing in it. to the right, pitch written in gothic print. the pitch: why do you need an angel? according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him. dark red wallpaper background. top left says comps, underneath are pictures of the covers for THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE by Caitlin Starling and EVOCATION by S.T. Gibson. under that is a cream coloured drawing of a wolf. top right says elements in gothic print. elements: angel summoning as dark magic, corruption arc, epistolary dual timeline, violent longing has consequences, Victorian secret societies, he’s not dead until I say so. to the left is an angel statue. dark red wallpaper background. top left says feedback so far in gothic print. feedback is snippets from discord, saying: 1. THE KIND OF LOVE THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT might be in the apocrypha BUT STILL. and arguably, arguably, God so loving the world he gave his one and only son IS HONESTLY THE KIND OF OBSESSION WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HERE I GET YOU. 2. I feel like I was completely ignorant of what horniness even is before I met Simon and his whole deal. like, Jesus Christ, that dude. 3. I need to eat the fruits they are too tempting and beautiful. In the centre is a statue of lucifer. on the right is snippet in gothic print. the snippet: “I miss you desperately. I toy with effigies and cannot make myself reshape you in wax or clay. it’s you I want”

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

#QuestPit #A #H #M
The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us.

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN

Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QuestPit #SF #A #Q #R #LGBT
Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 113,000 words "Did you hear? There's a human on board." A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling. alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human) PITCH: Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist. Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway? That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no. PRIORITIES: make dinner remain cozy haul cargo go for drinks pull off one last score try not to fall in love FIRST PAGE: “Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.” I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity. “Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.” “Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table. It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best. The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.” The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?” COMPS: Murderbot by Martha Wells Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers TROPES: Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm lying to themselves non-human perspective (afraid of humans) neurodivergent main characters metaphorically disabled protagonist slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship disabilitynorm and queernorm setting found family loveable pet/terrifying monster

Peace between alien races could shatter unless a neurodivergent, space-phobic marine biologist, the sexy, secretive ex she’s “over”, and their tween daughter can guide a pregnant space dragon to her nursery world before she loses her clutch.

#QuestPit #AG #SF
Phoebe and the Space Dragon, 92k Adult Sci-fi Pitch: In space, no one can hear you scream...at your ex. There's no room for argument when a pregnant, endangered creature demands you help her reach her nursery world---even if you're forced to fly with your ed. For anxious marine biologist Remy, the only thing scarier than space would be falling back in love with the man who shattered her heart. Tropes and comps: forced proximity, second chance love, co-parenting, middle-aged MC and LI, painful secrets. Looking down on Earth from space was allegedly a life changing event, but Remy was busy gripping her armrest and praying for delivery from a sudden, violent death. Why bother looking towards home? Any second now, she’d be plummeting back. Maybe orbiting trash would crash into them. Or the shuttle could lose power and drift into the void until they all died of hypoxia. All. That was the worst part: if she died, her only child died, too. Not that the daughter in question seemed to appreciate the gravity of the situation. Phoebe was all wide eyes and smiles as the budget shuttle rocketed them towards their almost certain demise. "Dad?" He glanced around at the silver-collared crew, all carefully not paying attention to the interaction, as usual—except for Solkar, who winked. "Captain Bellamy when we’re on the bridge, Phoebe,” he whispered. She scowled at him. "It's Navigator Walker, then." The corner of his mouth quirked like she’d said something funny instead of grown-up and serious. "You're right, we need to keep this as professional as possible, Navigator Walker." "Or we could act like we’re still a family," she muttered, half-hoping her voice didn’t carry across the Hasma’s pool. “At least one of us still wishes we were.” He looked a little hurt. It didn’t make her feel any better, but she didn’t apologize. If she was hurting, so could he. And it wasn’t like he ever apologized. "I am your family, Navigator Walker. A bit of time and distance doesn’t change that."

THE WITCH OF THE WOOD - #QuestPit
Milo Ashton races to save the forest his family relies on, and himself, from a horrible curse. He finds help in Cam, a mysterious man living in the woods, who is seemingly unaffected by the curse that has killed everyone who ventured into Hatwick Wood.
#W #F #RF
A light gray square over a dark forest that reads: The Witch of the Wood. - 16k Novelette - MM Fantasy Romance - Breaking a Curse - A Spooky Forest - A Search for a Witch - Nervous x Confident A light green square over a forest background: For as long as Hatwick Wood had grown, there had been a witch hiding in its trees. The witch was a steward of the wood, caring for it and making sure that the people of nearby villages never took too much from it. It was the witch’s sacred duty to do this, and their magic had flown wild and free as they protected the forest. Although no one had never seen the steward of the wood, stories flowed through the families about the witch. Everyone knew that their role was the care for the forest, and if anything ever went wrong, the witch needed to be found in order to fix it. No one knew this better than the Ashtons. Milo Ashton came from a long line of people who made their living in the forest. His grandfather, and his grandfather’s grandfather, and his grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather, with every father in between and even further back; every one of the Ashtons were hunters. It wasn’t work that would make them rich, or elevate them above the common folk, but it was good, honest work that would always be needed. And the Ashtons had always hunted in Hatwick Wood. Then Hatwick Wood was cursed. Over a dark forest, two circles with portraits and two dark squares with character information. Milo Ashton - A hunter tasked with breaking the curse on Hatwick Wood. Uncertain, nervous, but determined to do right. His portrait is of a young man with short black hair and tan skin, wearing a cream tunic and a green cloak. He looks nervous. Cambium - An energetic young man who is living in Hatwick Wood. Unaffected by the curse that lingers in the forest. Outgoing, bold, but willing to help where he can. His portrait is a young man with brown skin and long, dark brown hair. He is wearing a colorful patchwork shirt and a scarf. A olive green square over a forest background. It reads: Vibes in Song Form: - "The Forest" by Mirah - "Into the Woods" by PHILDEL - "All Things Devour" by aeseaes - "In the Woods Somewhere" by Hozier
