I saw something on Insta yesterday like "the CIA has a Starbucks at HQ but everyone's names are kept secret blah blah"

Do you want to know how badly I want to write a CIA agent x barista but both have secrets (and maybe make it period but anachronistic) romance???

though I didn‘t get any requests from it (YA SF is a niche market and it is borderline fantasy/genre bend so makes sense in terms of marketing) since people liked it here

Anyone want my #agentsguide for my futuristic Florence robot pigeons SCYTHE x ROMEO & JULIET? 👀 See #DVpit #DVParty for more

Only one agent like in #DVpit today. That same pitch got 6 requests in PitchDis so… no surprise? Ofc that’s 100% better than getting none at all! I was shocked by the love for my “SCYTHE x R&J but with robot pigeons“ pitch. 😂.

anyone here knows of any pitch events coming up LMK

Eren is the real hero. Aydin just wanted to make sure his corn crop didn’t die. Alana has an archery tournament next week.

A mystic she-wolf is about to send them on a seven-challenge-quest slaying three-headed giants
to stop the Mongol warlords.

No historical accuracy OFC!

Mongols have kept the Turks under their thumb for centuries. A she-wolf is to force three valley kids out of their comfort zone to free their people.

In a futuristic Florence, the cryogenically-revived Medicis now reign supreme. Their overly stabby heiress falls for her cleaner: the cyborg orphan hired by a rival noble fam to kill her. Nobody besides them is happy.

SCYTHE meets ROMEO & JULIET with robot pigeons.

What happens when you combine robot pigeons, a futuristic Florence, the now-ruling Medicis revived from cryostasis, and cyborg orphans hired by noble fams to kill rivals to “prevent overpopulation?”

Violante has a penchant for butcher's knives and killing her (364 and counting) suitors via horse.

Ferdinand is a cyborg manchild, "looks like he could kill/is actually a cinnamon roll". He prefers poison.

Have we mentioned they're both 17? And maybe falling in love?

It started out with beer bottle rockets. Then dynamite. Two boy geniuses are determined to prove who's king, even if they have to blow up all of Weirton, WV. Inspired by my grandfather's childhood hijinks.

An NPC is determined to get back at the Hero -- her ex. She steals the things he needs: the Love Interest (chess savant) and the Sidekick (druid-obsessed)

A dragon-filled poly rampage ensues. The final achievement? Become the Hero

How an NPC gets the Hero to notice her:
- steal his love interest/sidekick
- seduce both
- go on a siren slaying polyamorous rampage
- become the hero instead with an F you to your developers

She’s a fame hungry grave robber accused of stealing Napoleon’s corpse. He’s a tomb raider cursed to speak in only lies — and the only person who says he believes her.

They have three weeks until the real culprits — a cult of shapeshifting crows — set their island home ablaze.
