Fantastic news ! 😍
Thank you ! ✨
I will be back eventually! I think I just needed a break.
Hey Shannon do you think you are going to open to queries sometime this year?
To be extra clear, I’m not calling out for censorship. Enjoy whatever you want. I just think it’s a little ridiculous these stuff is so pervasive people assume love interest because a male character is *checks notes*… present in a blurb. And has a name (a likely thing for him to have!) 5/5
Can we please be normal again? Can publishing be Normal about romance and especially dark romance and romantasy ? I’m literally begging. 4/4
-aside from the fact that there is a man in the near vicinity of a woman, and he is named, (likely because he is the VILLAIN); that’s not normal. That’s not a normal reaction to have to a story where a woman is being tortured and forcibly impregnated (or at least threatened with it). 3/4
Leaving aside the fact that I’m a lesbian and that if I ever did write a male LI it will not be the asshole wizard, it will be a simp who worships the FMC; leaving aside that the story is classified as a ‘gothic horror fantasy’; leaving aside the that nothing I say in that blurb implies romance- 2/4
People are getting uncomfortably romance-brained. In the query/blurb for my new #WIP I literally say the main guy is torturing the FMC, metaphorically r-wording her (mindr@pe) and also ACTUALLY wanting to SA her to get her pregnant and 3 separate people were like “ah, yes love interest vibes.” 1/4
Friends, you are doing yourself a great disservice if your query reads like a mini synopsis. Example: "This happens, followed by this, followed by this, etc."
Cute!
This sounds amazing im so HYPEd
