I would probably stare at a wall for longer than I would care to admit to process how surreal that is. After that, I'm a simple person and will probably go out to treat myself to my fav restaurant and splurge a little lol

I'm about to go to bed (thanks timezones) but #questpit was a blast! LOVED seeing everyone hyping each other, such a wholesome day for my very first pitch participation 💕

A collage of photos: John Singer Sargent’s “Portrait of Madame X,” a painting of a young woman in a sleeveless black dress; a classroom with a dark green chalkboard illuminated by the sun, with several wooden desks; library books on a shelf held behind iron bars; a man and woman embracing, both in rather woolly sweaters; a picture taken over the shoulder of a woman who is holding a polaroid picture of another woman; several drooping, dying flowers against a dark background; 7 or 8 old books, lying on floorboards, and with their pages opened as if the books had been dropped; a pink and white flip phone with a heart charm on its closed cover, next to a bottle of pink nail polish and a pink lipgloss; a black and white photo of a young woman in ¾ profile with her eyes mostly closed—over this the title of the WIP “Surface Tension” is superimposed.

GREEN DOT x EXCITING TIMES

SURFACE TENSION: The problem with studying women who make bad choices? You start to see yourself all over the syllabus. Jenny’s entanglement with her English professor isn’t fiction, but she’s starting to wish it was. #UP #W #A #questpit

Image with a dark academia aesthetic and list of tropes: sculpting terminology and history, rivals to allies to ???, morally gray cast, queer slow burn, inspired by 1950s Prague, dark academia, art as a form of coping with trauma

When hardened state orphan Gwen enters a prestigious sculpting academy to escape poverty, she's thrust into a world of rich elite where beauty is coveted more than life & dark history bleeds from the school's walls. A history that promises a fate worse than death if she fails.

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 themcome here.” The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”

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. #QuestPit #A #Q #R #SF #OV #LGBTQ

I made this "overture" for my book, THE DUEL IN 1660 (working title)! It's a medley of character and concept themes mostly from the first half of the book. I'm a beginner composer, learning by… The Duel in 1660 - Book Overture (Aug 6 2025)

I finished this "Book Overture" just in time for #QuestPit!

She just wanted a story. Now she's the headline.
