This is Bandit. Bandit is mad at me because I won't let him sleep in the trash can.

"Christ," he said at last. "Another day."
Stephen Maturin (Master and Commander) this line hooked me on the series and the character because it was exactly my mood at the time. He dips in and out of this melancholy through the whole series.

“I meant no disrespect,” he said, but the disrespect had been crystal clear.
“Speak contemptuously of the general again and I shall be forced to cut out your tongue,” said Tharron, as a live crab bounced off his shield. He meant it too. Myron paled and closed his mouth.

Unable to attack without permission, the guard settled for seizing a glob of dirt from a nearby planter and hurling it at them. The idea caught on and soon a hail of random items from cauliflowers to teacups were raining on them from all directions.

Tharron had to fight to keep himself from shaking visibly with rage. Spite directed at himself was to be expected, but it took a special kind of monster to be cruel to a horse.

Instead of Wasphole, we considered Scrap-Iron Crown or Base Metal Throne or something along those lines.
Decided against it because so many fantasy novels have throne or crown in the title.

Give us an alternate title to your WIP. Another title you considered, your working title, or a joke title.
Potential examples:
Of Mice and Men was originally Something That Happened
The Da Vinci Code might've been ScavengerHuntWIP
Frankenstein could be How to Make a Guy in 10 Days

“Knowing Pyroot, he'll spend so long scrubbing your posh silk shoes he'll forget to make dinner.”
“Scrubbing?” Brandon blinked. “Scrubbing with what? Not that scourer he was holding, I hope! They’ll be torn to shreds!”
“Relax, he’ll probably use his tongue.”

“You have your monster, Naja,” said Aclipe haughtily, “A living breathing hydra; the symbol of Serpentis made flesh. I hope your people rally to it the way you expect them to, and don’t just run away.”

Looking for a home crammed with character and original features?
From its unique worm-sculpted rafters to its well-developed hedge maze (carefully matured by dedicated neglect into one monstrous hedge) Owlmark Castle is ideal for connoisseurs of the Tatterdemalion aesthetic!

Describe your MC's home like a real estate listing.
A peasant's mud hut? That's a rustic nature-lover's retreat!
A secret lair inside a volcano? Sounds like a private getaway with heated floors!
Get creative! Feeling stuck? Let's brainstorm together!

“I ate a whole load of arsenic once and I didn’t shit solid for a week, so I know poisons can affect me.”
“You ate arsenic? Why?”
“Not on purpose. Captain Corine spread it in the barracks to poison the rats and I ate the rats.”
"Again my question is why?"

Ever since one of my cousins posted "I hate it when millenials and boomers do that sarcastic thumbs up 👍" and his mate was like "yeah and that passive aggressive smiley face wtf?!" I have been second guessing everything I post. 😵💫

Ok, so interesting feedback - I'm querying under the wrong category. Turns out Wasphole is dark fantasy not high fantasy.
Thanks to the kind agent who took the time to say they don't represent dark fantasy, because I would have kept making that mistake indefinitely. ❤️
