title: THE VILLAIN'S MUSE.

KING OF SLOTH x GOD OF FURY x PERFECT ADDICTION

She's healing a heart wrapped in silk carrying scars like armour.
He's a broken monster with blood on his hands and a hunger for chaos.

the (new) dedication of the book that will HOPEFULLY stay as it is unless it goes through another change <3

the book features my bangladeshi fmc, mahira and my puerto rican mmc, valentino !!

the tropes of the book, not including the various microtropes throughout !!

the comps of the book, though the third comp is a movie comp and has a book by the original author itself—i prefer the movie more over the book of the same name, hence i'm comping the movie adaptation instead of the original book <33

GOD OF FURY x KING OF SLOTH x PERFECT ADDICTION

She hid behind snarky comments and heartbreak.
He hid behind obsessive fixation and bloody hands.

And are his demons catching up to him?
Only one way to find out.

Less than a month until #DVpit, a pitch event for marginalized creators looking to find an agent & get traditionally published! Here's a reminder of the rules!
For more guidelines & info go to dvpit.carrd.co
See you all at DVpit on October 8th, 2025!
#writersky #booksky

#DVpit (Diverse Voices Pitch) is a Bluesky event for marginalized creators that have been historically underrepresented in publishing to pitch their work to agents & editors.
Post your pitch on Bluesky on Wednesday, Oct 8, 2025 between 8AM ET - 8PM ET.
Your pitch must include the #DVpit hashtag (illustrators pitching their art must use #DVArt)
A like ❤️ from an agent = a query request
A repost 🔁 from an editor = interest in submission once you've signed with an agent
A like ❤️ from an editor = editor who takes unagented submissions
Please do not like or repost a pitch if you are not an agent or an editor. Support other creators by replying to their pitch or quote-reposting their pitches.

want the real chaos?

patreon = drafts, polls, and me crying into my villain arcs.
tikTok = thirst, chaos, and unholy inspo boards.

don’t follow if you value peace. do follow if you, too, wake up feral.

Gabriela is querying a dystomance @gabriela-stluke.bsky.social · Sep 4

What can you expect this season of LAST CHANCE MATCH?

🩸 gut wrenching plot twists
🩸 cute robots that help style hair, makeup and clothes
🩸 she hates him, he loves her and there’s only one bed
🩸 man creates bot, bot kills man, bot inherits the earth

#writingcommunity #agentsguide

Dark ferns background

An Agent's Guide To:
LAST CHANCE MATCH
91,000 word Adult crossover dystomance

"Find the one who's to die for."

The Pitch:
Calasca’s government uses science to appoint soulmates, but the 0.6% of the population who don’t receive a match face extermination at thirty. A new reality show, Last Chance Match, sets out to change that and gives the matchless another shot at life. Bitter waitress, Cera accepts the invitation, but is quickly deflated when she’s paired with the cocky and entitled Ryde. The show takes a dark turn when a fellow contestant is killed after being eliminated, forcing Cera and Ryde to fight for their happily ever after—and to make it out alive.

The comps:

THE KILL FACTOR by Ben Oliver
Both with a killer reality show setting to win freedom

SILVER ELITE by Dani Francis
Both with opposing factions and biased government

HEART OF THE SUN
Both with second chances and dislike to lovers arc

LOVE ISLAND
Love Island inspired setting

SQUID GAME
Games created for a killer time

BLACK MIRROR
Dystopian setting with robot twists

The Tropes:

Arrows pointing from a mock cover of LAST CHANCE MATCH book with ferns with the following tropes:
Dystomance
He falls first
Soulhates to Soulmates
Forced proximity
Second chances
Only one bed

writing dark romance feels like making soup out of trauma and glitter.

fabs is editing 🫣✨ @simplyfabs.bsky.social · Sep 2

characters kissing is cute but characters making eye contact like they’re planning a war together?? i’ll chew drywall.

dark romance writers don’t need therapy. we need hotter villains and worse coping mechanisms.

fabs is editing 🫣✨ @simplyfabs.bsky.social · Sep 2

writing update: accidentally made the villain so hot that i would let him taxidermy me for sport. oops.

fabs is editing 🫣✨ @simplyfabs.bsky.social · Sep 2

i don’t want flowers. i want a hand around my throat and a whispered confession that they’d gut god himself before letting me go. anyway my patreon poll is still at 0 votes.

romance is cute. but have you ever written a scene where someone says ‘i’d burn the world for you’ and you actually believe them?? …oh to be desired with violence.

fabs is editing 🫣✨ @simplyfabs.bsky.social · Sep 2

the love interest? morally bankrupt. the villain? hotter. me? on the floor, kicking my feet, frothing at the mouth, whispering ‘yes daddy ruin me’ to a fictional man with a knife.

#writersky #authorsky #booksky

writing dark romance is just me trying to invent increasingly stupid ways to ruin hot people’s lives while still wanting to f*ck them. anyway, welcome to my TEDtalk.
