Psychologically focused, character driven, socially conscious fantasy. Literary agents, ask for details.
Sorry, I'm not commissioning art.

This has been my go-to cookie recipe for years.
Brown Butter Sugar Snaps 3/4 cup butter 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar 1 egg 1/2 teaspoon vanilla also, maybe try adding molasses or butterscotch/white chocolate chips Heat the oven to 350 F. In a small saucepan, heat butter over medium heat 4-7 minutes, until it turns a deep nutty brown (watch carefully because butter burns easily). Immediately pour browned butter into a large bowl and cool it for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, stir together flour, baking powder, and salt until blended in a small bowl, and set it aside. Add the granulated sugar and brown sugar to the cooled butter, then beat it with a whisk or electric mixer for two minutes or until well blended. Add the egg and vanilla, and beat on low speed until combined. Add the dry ingredient mixture and beat it until a soft, crumbly dough forms. Roll into little balls and squish them into circles on a cookie sheet (it won't need to be greased), or roll the dough on a floured countertop and cut it into shapes. Bake 7-9 minutes or until the edges are light brown. Cool two minutes, then move the cookies from the cookie sheets to cooling racks. Cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They should be firm and chewy, but if you put them in the fridge, they'll get crunchier. Frosting should be totally unnecessary. Eat while drinking ginger tea, laughing about old times with good friends, or writing a letter to a relative you don't see often enough.

Boss: "This machine will help you do the work in half the time."
Workers: "Great. Does that mean we work half as many hours?"
Boss: "No, it means half of you are unemployed now."

Yep. Their country is pretty cosmopolitan. The bishop of the temple where they live is a gnome, and all of those species show up as allies, enemies, and bystanders.

Famous product we would create, supernatural being we would have sex with, disease we would be patient zero for, apocalypse we would survive. There were also categories for which award we would win, how we would die, and what allergy we would have, with only odd possibilities.
