THE DARK CURSE

What would you do if you found yourself in the world of your favourite game? It’s a dream come true for Miles Porter, whose reality has been shattered.

The only problem with dreams is that you have to wake up some time.

SEEING RED

Prom was supposed to be the best night of Maddie’s life. Instead, a 200 year old spirit possessed her and wreaked havoc, attacking Prom Queen, Natalie.

Can Maddie get rid of the vicious and vengeful Scarlet before it’s too late for Natalie?

I just went to the bathroom to powder my nose, and I looked in the mirror and said, ‘Ethel, you’ve been here for nearly forty years and they couldn’t even get you vol-au-vents for your retirement party, why did you waste all of that time?’
I love this from my current WIP 😅

It's Hump Day, folks, and our friend demands a sacrifice. Let's get a page from your wip. Maybe it's the middle for you? Give us a line from PAGE 51?

If you haven’t gotten to that page, how about a post from page 5 instead?

Ooh #smallpitch is right! 400 characters or fewer? I can barely manage a tweet because it’s so few characters 😂
Still, one down and one to go!
Wishing everyone who is participating all the best 😊

Writer friends - If an agent passes on your query, do you respond to them to say thanks for your consideration, or just a general reply because it’s polite? Or do you figure that they get enough emails so just don’t do anything with it? My politeness is at war with itself 😂

Am I the only one guilty of not reading for days, then picking up a book one night and reading until stupid o clock in the morning?
Oh well, no regrets. 😁

SEEING RED

The last person that Maddie expected to be her prom date was the ghost of a 200 year old vengeful spirit. Now the spirit won’t let her go.

#questpit #YA #PN #Q
A collage: A glittering disco ball, which is red at the bottom. An old bookcase and couch. Three friends looking out at a red moon. An old diary, handwritten in illegible script. And most prominently, a mysterious red headed woman looking into a broken mirror.

DANNY PHANTOM x WEDNESDAY

Well, Denny Dragan sure messed up this time. Rather than find his missing sister, he accidetnally released a serial killer ghost.

To make things messier, he needs help from Guitar, a medium who would rather practice his cello than save lives.

An Agent's Guide to Reach Out a 85,000 word YA Horror/Fantasy with mystery elements. It's a collage of tarot cards, a girl climbing into an empty pool and a cassette tape that says "In case I disappear" Lined paper that says The Pitch at the top circled in red and a polaroid of a mauseleum. Then the following words: THE UNDERWOOD TAPES x WEDNESDAY Denny Dragan sure messed up this time. While trying to find his missing sister, he accidentally released a serial killer ghost. Talk about a distraction! And to make things messier, he needs help from a medium who would rather let people die than help out strangers. lined paper that says to the left "Tropes/rep" that's circled in red then there is a paper taped to it with the following words: "Found Family Epistolary Interludes Rewind, Replay, Repeat Witchcraft Meddling Kids Missing Person Unsolved Mysteries & Urban Legends Ghostly Goals 90s Vibes" underneath is another paper taped with the following pride pins: Trans, Ace, Lesbian, progress pride" On the left it says "Comps" and is circled in red then has two film strips that go from top to bottom: Wednesday and her friend in a cemetery, the Mystery Gang in a small town, the Losers Club in a cemetery, the Dead Boy Detectives in a bunker then The Underwood Tapes by Amanda Dewitt with two people on the book cover with film around them; the Name of the STar by Maureen Johnson with the book cover featuring a faded park image; Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake with a book cover of a ghost girl walking through fog to a house; Dead Flip by Sara Fraizan with a book cover of an arcade and heads above it. Lined paper with an unspooled cassette tape at the top where it says "A snippet" circled in red and says the following: " Dear listener who is probably just Denny. I bet you’re chuckling now ‘cause I’m right, aren’t I? Anyway, this is my ‘in case I disappear’ tape but the rest is a real treat for you. It’s some impressive project I’ve been working on. Though if I am missing, tell mom it wasn’t the monsters, but I’m, like, studying archeology at some college where I’m on some research trip with the professor to find the amulet. Then really buckle down and be all like ‘You know, the amulet? How do you not know about the amulet? What kind of mom are you?’ until she cries or something then you can tell the truth. I want her to feel bad for always being ‘too busy.’"

NAUSICAÄ X FF7

Nature is decaying, nobles are hoarding magic, and demons prey on everyone. A possible chosen one, a man who failed his destiny, and a woman rejected by fate must work together for one last chance to save the dying world.

#questpit #Q #F #A #agentguide
Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words. Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved. A dark forest. Comps. Nausicaä. One Dark Window. The Starless Crown. Godkiller. Final Fantasy VII Remake. Tropes. Chosen One (s)? Ecofantasy. Dieselpunk. Grumpy/Sunshine. LGBTQIA+. Multi POV. A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!” The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death. “Magic should never return.” After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended. Sent him back to his body.

Snippet: “Wait, are you telling me that in German, the word for f—ing is… what’s a literal translation… ‘birding’?” “I guess.” “Ugh, I'll never see the eagle on the German flag the same way again.” I choke on my beer, spraying the coffee table. As I cough and snort, she slyly pulls a tissue from her pocket and wipes the table. “The eagle’s on the coat of arms, not the flag,” I say weakly, “and we have another word for f—ing, but please don’t use it. It’s really vulgar.” Keywords: Heartfelt; Spicy; Retro; Destination; Romance Before Sunrise movie poster; Every Summer After (Carley Fortune) book cover; Heartless (Elsie Silver) book cover; Kilt Trip (Alexandra Kiley) book cover Background images: Brandenburg Gate (Photo by Florian Wehde on Unsplash); a couple kissing (Design by Freepik; freepik.com); Berlin TV tower (Photo by Hannu Hollström on Unsplash)

A collage of pictures, with a young male hand reaching out to grab them: a sword and knights helmet, someone casting a fire spell, an inviting path into the woods, a knight holding a sword, a mountain behind an old-fashioned house, a cloaked magic user, a white horse galloping, and a mountain range.
