Sophia Lane has it all—except a boyfriend. So when she panics and lies about bringing one to a company retreat, she ropes in her annoyingly charming neighbor to play the part. It’s only a weekend of fake dating. What could go wrong? (Spoiler: everything.)

Prophecies don’t have age limits.

Now the fate of the Kingdom rests on the bad hip of a retired librarian.

Will curmudgeonly Dorris answer her calling, or ignore impending doom for a good cup of tea?

A cream-coloured slide with green ink splatters in the upper left and lower right corners. The lower right splatter has a cottage illustration within it. The text on the slide reads: THE UNLIKELY MALARKEY OF DORRIS AND BERYL - Pitch - Prophecies don’t have age limits. It’s a fact 82-year-old Dorris learns when an uppity gnome arrives on her doorstep and declares she’s the Chosen One… sixty years late. Now Dorris must exchange her books, cottage, and weekly visits with her best friend Beryl for a noble quest. If she refuses, the kingdom of Grit (and Dorris’ beloved home library) will burn to ashes. Will the octogenarians break the sixty-year curse as prophesied? Or will Beryl’s shady past with dark magic reappear and doom them all? A cream-coloured slide with green ink splatters in the upper left and lower right corners. The lower right splatter has a cottage illustration within it. The text on the top of the slide reads: The Unlikely Malarkey of Dorris and Beryl - Fantasy Comps. Below the text are three book covers with text beneath them. Left to right they are: The House in the Cerulean Sea (queernormative found family), Nettle and Bone (flipped fairytale quest with bite) and Howl’s Moving Castle (elderly MC, self-aware humour). The two lines of text at the bottom of the slide read: quirky, comedic, cosy. LGBTQIA+ and chronic illness rep. A cream-coloured slide with green ink splatters in the upper left and lower right corners. The lower right splatter has a cottage illustration within it. The text on the slide reads: The Unlikely Malarkey of Dorris and Beryl - character comps. Below the text are four film stills. Left to right, top to bottom, the film stills are: Sophie Hatter, a frowning old woman in a blue dress and straw hat; Pascal, a green chameleon blowing a raspberry; Mercutio, a drag queen in a diamanté top and white wig; Valerie and Max, an old couple in drab brown clothing waving at someone off-camera A cream-coloured slide with green ink splatters in the upper left and lower right corners. The lower right splatter has a cottage illustration within it. The text on the top of the slide reads: The Unlikely Malarkey of Dorris and Beryl - Opening Lines. Beneath the title is a white text box. The text inside reads: Dorris’ destiny came rapping at her door on a Tuesday afternoon. Rat-a-tap-a-rap, went the door. Dorris froze. She wasn’t expecting company. Company always called ahead. She let her eyes swivel from her book to the window. The front door wasn’t visible from this angle. Her shoulders relaxed a little – whoever was causing the ruckus probably couldn’t see her, either. She continued reading. Rat-a-tap-RAP, the door insisted. Dorris’ armchair was warm and deep. Her favourite stripy mug was steaming at her side. There was a major plot twist coming. She wasn’t getting up for anybody. “I can SEE you!” a voice hollered from outside. Confound it.

Delaney's on a journey to become a vampire. The vampire he's picked to make him into one is disinclined, at best, to offer it. But that doesn't mean Delaney's free from becoming entangled in a dangerous game - or becoming the object of this vampire’s deadly obsession.

#QuestPit #A #Q
Agent's guide to Shadows of Ourselves by Nicole Field, a 91k words 1980s inspired gothic vampire horror. One man's trajectory to self destruction across 5 long years. Text from opening reads: “It hasn’t been that long since I was turned into a vampire, I suppose. Less than eighty years. Not even a century. I only wish I knew… what I was supposed to do with the rest of it.” “Rest of what?” I asked, from between lips that seemed to have gone numb at some point before this point in the conversation. “What do you think? Immortality, of course.” Pitch: What do you do when a vampire tells you, "Run"? You do as you're told and try not to die. Unless he's willing to bring you back. Comps are Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, Running Close to the Wind, Dark Rise and MADK.
