Tori Sharp - Open to Queries

I'm trying to grow out my hair out to some kind of bob again but I can feel it on my neck now. Do you see my problem.

Absolutely, I'm more interested in the strength of the characters' relationships than the *type* of relationship. Friendship stories (and angst) are welcome!

I'm open to any children's comics including early readers, but for prose I'm only looking for MG and YA fantasy. So no chapter books right now. Best of luck!

Can't believe I have to put this on my #MSWL but please only send me human-made stories. I won't consider any projects created with AI art/writing or even ones for which generative AI was used for inspiration. Please don't send me AI-generated queries or synopses. AI is my sworn enemy.

If my username didn't tip you off, it's definitely a bonus if your kidlit project is funny! I love comedies, parodies, satires, and witty adventure stories. I prefer hopeful and fun stories, so if your book makes me cry it probably also needs to make me laugh. #MSWL

Contemporary children's comics that, can't stress this enough, get weird with it. I want events, choices, and dialogue that are surprising but still feel natural within the context of the book. I talk a lot about wanting "remark"-able events; scenes that readers will tell someone about. #MSWL

I'm feeling sappy lately and want to read the most unapologetically angsty romantic arcs you've ever seen in children's fiction. I was raised on magical girl stories; you can't scare me. (Please not that I don't rep MG/YA category romance in prose but love a romance subplot in fantasy.) #MSWL

In the spirit of #MSWL day, here's what I'm craving in children's comics and MG/YA fantasy: any trope in Kingdom Hearts but especially amnesia plots, complex betrayals, friends separated for magical reasons and trying desperately to reach each other, and mysterious lore that's somehow consistent.

My other mood about my webcomic is that if I don't immediately scrap it then I wanna start posting it NOW! help, i'm feeling impulses i haven't had to reckon with in a decade

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

Cruelty to trans folks will not make the groceries cheaper, the environment better, houses more affordable or healthcare free. It’s just gross cruelty and a blatant disregard for their human rights

😱 It's so tempting though!! (I won't)

I finished 5 pages of my webcomic, someone tell me not to start over. 🫣

Haha I had heard about that switcheroo, so I wasn't surprised. It was just fun to play as Roxas for a bit though, I've always been fond of him from Days!!

I'd only ever played 358/2 Days before this, though I think I watched a letsplay of the first game years and years ago. I'm playing KH2 right now!

It's actually hilarious to go from dilligently pointing out tiny potential plot holes in clients' manuscripts to playing Kingdom Hearts and being delighted by how absolutely incomprehensible those storylines are.

Alysa Liu telling 60 Minutes “I love struggling, it makes me feel alive” is a legit revolutionary statement from a Bay Area native in a time when copious amounts of time and resources are being put toward convincing us to opt out of experiencing struggle, friction and self-actualization
