A moodboard for my sci-fi horrormance WIP, BABEL ON CALLISTO. On the top left is a glowing humanoid figure with a planet and rings orbiting its head. In the center, white glitchy text reads: "NOT ALL ENDINGS ARE THE END. SOMETIMES THEY ARE THE BEGINNING," repeated multiple times. Beneath that, a figure walks into a starry void shaped like another person, reaching toward each other. Other elements include a flatworm floating in a grid-like space, a silhouetted couple reaching toward each other in a virtual tunnel, and hands weaving a glowing galaxy-like thread.

DRAGON'S FLAME (a #GhostPit guide)

what happens when the person who killed your parents turns out to be your long-lost best friend?

- childhood friends to enemies to lovers
- stolen memories/brainwashing
- dragon (yes, singular)
- "i think i know you." / "you used to."

But things become complicated when she discovers the assassin in question is the best friend she was forcibly separated from five years previous...and that she may not be working of her own free will. right hand side: a picture of a grassy hill in front of a fog covered mountain overlaid with texting reading Elevator Pitch left hand side: covers for Fireborne by Rosaria Munda, the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole over text of a bullet pointed list. the list reads: childhood friends to enemies to lovers, found family, stolen memories/elements of brainwashing, war is hell and everyone loses, i think-i think i know you, you used to, grumpy old man in the form of a dragon, nobody is processing their trauma and everyone needs therapy right hand side: an image of a night sky with stars and clouds overlaid with text that reads Tropes and Comps left hand side: text reading excerpt above text reading: A chill that has nothing to do with the cold wind coming off of the Hungry Deep washes over me, settling into the marrow of my bones, as I realize what I am seeing: Mairi is the Flameheart, the assassin that was more human than myth. Which mean that Mairi killed my parents. right hand side: an image of what is presumably a female body clad in black fantasy-esque armor that covers everything, including the face. the figure is holding a sword in each hand and has a third strapped to their back

A warm, moody collage about first love and loss. A Polaroid photo shows a blond boy and a curly-haired girl facing each other, labeled First Love. Nearby, a red blood moon hangs in a starry sky. There’s a misty graveyard at sunrise, a single candle burning in the dark, and a quiet park bench under orange autumn trees. Torn paper quotes read, “I wish I could kiss you… just once.” The overall feel is tender, sad, and a little haunted.

Here’s a silly screenshot of me trying to explain COME BACK WRONG, my upper YA suburban fantasy-horror novel, to a friend on Discord. If you’re into David Lynch, this book may be for you! Querying soon, pitch linked in the QRT below.

#PitDark #GhostPit #PN #MR #writingcommunity
screenshot of a discord chat reads: “What is COME BACK WRONG about? It’s about the domestic space as nexus of incredible trauma and incredible power. What if your whole town was a haunted house? What if your repressed childhood memories opened a rift into another version of reality? What if you could do a kick flip?”

Hollis created the Fun House. He also created Jules, a VR depiction of his dead wife.

To boost publicity, CyberLand chooses five lucky winners to test the brand new attraction.

But Jules doesn't want strangers in her Fun House and she doesn't plan to let them out alive.

THE OFFICE X GOOD OMENS

A satire of both business and the supernatural, Virgil Mora, Hell's Consultant, must restore Heaven's faith in Hell by saving a vampire-run Ohio gas station in just three months to save his job and Lucifer, the angel he's fallen for.

#GhostPit #F #Con #E #LGBT
The silhouette of a man with a briefcase and an angel with horns stand in front of a fogbound gas station at night as above them a large billboard proclaims "Hell Is Work" The tag line in glowing yellow text at the bottom says "Hell is empty and all the demons are in polo shirts"

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN

Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #GhostPit #A #Q #R #LGBT
Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 110,000 words "Did you hear? There's a human on board." A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling. alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human) PITCH: Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist. Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway? That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no. PRIORITIES: make dinner remain cozy haul cargo go for drinks pull off one last score try not to fall in love FIRST PAGE: “Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.” I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity. “Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.” “Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table. It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best. The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.” The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?” COMPS: Murderbot by Martha Wells Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers TROPES: Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm lying to themselves non-human perspective (afraid of humans) neurodivergent main characters metaphorically disabled protagonist slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship disabilitynorm and queernorm setting found family loveable pet/terrifying monster
