The 13th Gate (Dark Fantasy)

Long had a peerless cavalry thundered out Lord Ibor’s will. Of its storied ranks, no name patroned the verse of hearth-spun tales more than my father’s, who rode upon the black Aguirre. In death, however, he dwells a moor of crows—his name and body gone to rot.

These drawings rock!

Maybe a silly question, but what is WC?

To be fair, I also would not want to kill demons.

STORM FURIES x NIGHT SHIFT DRAGONS

The apple has fallen far from the ancestral tree for Andy, a sylvan elf scraping by as an office worker in the modern world. But when an ancient prophecy calls upon him, he trades his stress ball for a sword and gets sucked into the legends of old. #A #F #PreDV

Time for me to Google táltos and go into the wiki hole.

Love the idea of having the base in the Amazon (I feel like these things are always in Antarctica or in the desert!) Best of luck!

Most people seem to be putting their hashtags at the bottom. I like the premise though!

That monster mouth is SICK!

This is fun!

I'd maybe cut Luceth's name, but I otherwise like this!

I'm not sure what "no one escapes a moon gaze" means, but I otherwise like this pitch!

I'm not getting the sense that she needs to escape here? Is she indentured to the king somehow? I might be completely missing something, but I like the premise.

The comps kill me. Look forward to seeing this in print.

Love a park ranger story! Especially at this time. Best of luck!

The plan A / Plan B format is clever! Great pitch.

Storm Furies x Night Shift Dragons

An office worker’s simple life goes awry when he accidentally pulls a sword of prophecy from its stone.

Still in his loafers, he faces off against titans, undead legions, and more wondering what will run out first: his Combined Time Off, or his luck. #A #F #preDV

Thanks so much! I truly loved writing this ridiculous story and feel it in my bones (not an accountant, but work in IT).

You had me at shardbeasts.

Sitting in a cubicle, Andy couldn’t be further from his ancestral roots as a woodland elf. Worse yet, he enjoys it.

But when the world’s most evil and ancient titan wakes up, a prophecy declares that Andy is the only one who can defeat it. #A #F #ND #preDV

In a modern world of orcs and elves, few still believe in ancient myths.

That is, until an ancient titan awakens to turn the planet into cinders.

A hero is chosen as foretold, but, uh, he's just an accountant who wants to be left alone. #A #F #preDV

Thank you! It was a blast to write.

Thank you. I agree. This one was the toughest of my stories to condense into a coherent pitch!

The 13th Gate

After their father dies in a failed coup against the demon realm’s immortal king, Lyris and Bagral are sentenced to carry a deadly plague to the other realms. But, as they traverse a wartorn hellscape, they set into motion a plan to finish their father’s wishes. #A #H #F #ND #preDV

That's awesome! I really think this is a cool idea and look forward to the revised version.

I'm gonna have to Google Mordred, but this sounds fun!

This is wild! Best of luck to you!

What does mist-ravaged imply? How does the mist ravage the land? I love the setting idea, it's just a bit confusing. Otherwise looks good!

Thanks so much! Same to you!
