SAILOR MOON x THE UNTAMED but sapphic x Indonesian mythology

A hero has enough issues like yearning over her soulmate, having a pact with a queen of monsters, saving her cursed family from death, but that involves stealing the heart of her true love

EMPIRE OF SAND X THE YOUNG ELITES

Enzhe was always told being born with magic meant he was born for greatness. He never imagined that greatness meant helping a grieving girl destroy magic by killing the gods, all to save his little sister.

this is just typical little sister/kid archetype but me writing a side char who resembles klee's brightness and joy back in 2021 before i knew about genshin feels a bit like fate

introducing an agent's guide to my #amquerying adult urban fantasy!

VELVET WAS THE NIGHT x ADDIE LARUE

In Taipei: A man tired of his threadbare life. A woman who longs for a drama-like romance. A god searching for identity.

Navigating the world of urban legends.

#writingcommunity #booksky

Text on background of a road at night that reads: An agent's guide to For The Days We Never Had by Kay Choo. Adult urban fantasy.

Text on background of a car parked in an alley at night, that reads: Kai Le is a photography studio assistant. Ai Yu is a flower shop apprentice. Their lives are normal as can be, but they long for more. Then they chance upon an entity at a bus-stand, and it changes everything.

They have cute romantic encounters; they chase after urban legends in the dark. Everything they want is within their grasp-but the district they live in has more to offer than just their dreams.

The most frightening thing about this new reality, though? Learning about themselves, and the people they may become, if they allow it.

Three photos on a background of a wall with red and blue neon lights reflected off it. Photo on the left is the cover of Velvet was the Night, which features a woman wearing sunglasses and smoking. Arrows point out from the cover, which reads: Noir, Romance..?, street gangs.

The second photo is of the cover of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, with three arrows pointing out of it that reads: Lots of yearning, search for identity, morally grey MC.

The last photo features the poster of an anime called Durarara!!, with multiple characters in frame. Three arrows point out of it that read: idyllic until it's not, urban legends, interesting (shady?) side characters

A photo of a bus reaching the bus-stand at night on the right, text on the left that reads: also featuring vampires, self-discovery, ambitions and power, fight for autonomy, sunshine x grump (take with caution)

cindy 💕 心詒 @cindycwrites.bsky.social · Nov 17

cindy 💕 心詒 @cindycwrites.bsky.social · Nov 16

the thing i look forward to most in finishing a project/planned series is writing all the post-canon content or aus i have of it...crowned having a whole folder of just extra content is something that pleases me greatly
