Dear Cera,

Pack your bags! You've been invited to appear on LAST CHANCE MATCH, a new dating show where LOVE ISLAND meets SQUID GAME and BLACK MIRROR. Should you find a soulmate, you won't be exterminated in 2 years.

Are you ready to find the one who's to die for?

Honestly, even though it’s a romance and the relationship Cera has with Ryde is important… I’d say the relationship Cera has with herself as it relates to the will to fight for her life & happiness for her own sake (instead of for her sister).

Looking to swap with one or two more people for LCM (complete) + find some early drafters to swap with for MM :) I added the pitch and opening for both below! Happy to chat on Bsky or Discord! 🤍

MM has 2 genres because I'm not sure where it will fit yet as I'm outlining!

#FiFRevPit
LAST CHANCE MATCH: Adult Dystomance with Horror Elements Opening: It was the sixth time this month that a soulmateless disappeared without a trace. The nauseating scent of greasy fries and oils filled the air of Kona’s Diner. One of the seated customers projected the reporter from their holophone, the sounds of plates clanging and muffled chatter drowning out her voice. “Bolivas, a twenty-four-year-old soulmateless, was last seen on the corner of Plath and Qutz. The police indicate there was no foul play or forced entry to Bolivas’ shared apartment in Downtown Luriel, but have not ruled anything out,” said the reporter. She tilted her head and her blonde bob stayed perfectly placed. “Bolivas’ family and friends report he was not a user of—” Cera shook her head and set her holotablet on its charging station. Soulmateless were the least of the government’s concerns—this man would never be found. LAST CHANCE MATCH Pitch: Welcome to the inaugural season of Last Chance Match, a government-funded dating show for the soulmateless to find their other half. Set in a tropical location, twenty hopeful singles will compete for the chance to have a soulmate and all the benefits that come with it such as: free healthcare and education, better job opportunities and exemption from soulmateless extermination at thirty. Due to limited resources and population control, only three couples can win. Are you ready to find the one who’s to die for? 28-year-old soulmateless Cera thinks the opportunity could be the start of something amazing until the show takes a dark turn and a fellow contestant is killed by the robot host. The infuriatingly attractive but mysterious Ryde swears he’ll get Cera home safely so long as they remain coupled to protect one another from elimination. But the fatal games they play for the nation’s entertainment pick the contestants off one by one, leaving Cera and Ryde to fight for their happily ever after—and to make it out alive. COMPS LISTED: LOVE ISLAND SQUID GAME BLACK MIRROR THE COMPOUND BY AISLING RAWLE HEART OF THE SUN BY MIA SHERIDAN ANNIE BOT BY SIENNA GREER MYSTIC MOUNTAIN: Adult Horrormance or Thriller Romance OPENING: The musty scent of dried scotch and bourbon fries burned the hairs of Whitney’s nostrils. She always said it would be the last time she ever took a late night gig at some no-name bar, but she never learned. Gaspar’s was no different than any other nightclub she’d been paid to take photos at, and no matter what life the manager swore upon, no one would pay Whitney for her time but the establishment itself. People came to places like this to forget their lives, not to capture it in a still frame. Whitney knew that feeling all too well. MYSTIC MOUNTAIN Pitch: Seven years after her brother's disappearance and cutting ties with her college friends she ran a YouTube channel with, Whitney is offered the payday of a lifetime to produce a documentary on the abandoned theme park MYSTIC MOUNTAIN and its mysterious closing. The last people she expected to see was the gange from the life she left behind, including the optimistic and attractive Ale. But when their inviting host locks them in the park overnight, Whitney's past isn't the only thing she's running for her life from.

SWORDCROSSED X THIS WILL BE FUN

Standalone Spicy Cozy Fantasy
Demisexual Rep
Fat Main Character
MM Second Chance Romance

After the Lich Queen's Demise is the perfect book to heal your inner gifted child suffering from burn out. Please take a gander at my Agent's Guide!

#QuestPit #Q #A #F
The is the first picture of my Agent's Guide to After The Lich Queen's Demise. It's pretty simple two Tarot cards one for the Sun and for the Moon on a purple background. A list of the comps for After the Lich Queen's Demise these include: Swordcrossed, This Will Be Fun, Bookshops and Bonedust, The Spellshop, and The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches. The Pitch! When Sylvester Biskup’s former flame and adventuring companion Elsinor Laederiel unexpectedly appears back in his life, his world is turned upside down. At first Sylvester does all he can to avoid his flashy former lover: bury himself in work, plan a succubus’ wedding, and even give dating advice from a delusional bard a try. Then the university chancellor offers Sylvester a deal he can’t refuse: secure a donation to the university from Elsinor and earn the promotion he’s been coveting. One problem: he can barely say Elsinor’s name without panicking. The Log Line: Where one hero's journey ends, his life will begin. The Snippet Another suffocating silence engulfed the space between them. Sylvester’s breath slowed down, his pulse calmed. But his heart still clenched when he thought of the last words that Elsinor had spoken to him the morning after their last tryst. Darling, it was just one night. Over the years, the words morphed and churned into a mocking mantra. It was just one more example of how his stupid pig headed brain rushed him into decisions that he couldn’t take back. Now instead of meeting on equal footing, Elsinor loomed over him, smelling sweet and vomit free while Sylvester clung to the tile wall. “Well, I would love to see you there,” Elsinor stopped himself and Sylvester waited with bated breath to hear how he was going to end his sentence. “Sylvester.” Sylvester listened for the tell tale sounds of footsteps clacking away. He closed his eyes and huffed out a deep sigh.

A movie poster for "CARGO", depicting a sunset with two crescent moons in the sky. In the foreground are silohettes of two people, only their arms visible, their pinky fingers grasping each other tightly. The arm on the left is thinner and has four fingers. The arm on the right is of average proportions and has five fingers. The top of the poster reads "A match made in space. While stealing things." Below the name "CARGO", there is smaller writing in an alien language, presumably the title translated.

An updated #agentsguide to THE ICE BETWEEN US, a sapphic figure skating romance novel featuring:

⛸️ Forced Proximity
❤️ Workplace Romance
⛸️ Dislike-to-Lovers
❤️ Only One Bed
⛸️ She Carries Her
❤️ “Stop Talking”

#questpit #A #R #LGBTQ #Q #amquerying
Cover page for agents guide to THE ICE BETWEEN US Chloé LaFleur is an elite figure skater from Canada -- or she was until a devastating injury at the 2023 world championships ended her competitive career. Two years later, her childhood best friend convinces her to join the cast of Seasons on Ice, where she meets Freja Lindholm, an experienced show skater from Sweden with an ice queen reputation. There's friction between the two of them, especially when Chloé is forced to ask Freja for help in pairs. Once the tour hits the road, their situation becomes even more tenuous when they're unexpectedly assigned to be roommates. They squabble and get in each other's way, but it's not long before they find themselves bonding. And soon, their friendship becomes something far more. But just when things start to heat up, Chloé finds herself thrust back into the spotlight of the figure skating world. Is her future on the Olympic track, or with Freja? Or is there a way for Chloé to have the best of both worlds? The first thing you learn as a figure skater is how to fall. It seems like something you wouldn’t have to learn. If you're standing on a slippery surface wearing blades three millimetres thick, you're going to fall. What you're learning is the proper technique to fall. This way, you help avoid serious injury, and you orient yourself in the right position to get up quickly. What CanSkate classes don't teach you, however, is how to recover when you've fallen so far you can't even begin to figure out how to get back up. Exactly how far have I fallen? Two thousand, four hundred and forty-four kilometres from my hometown of Montreal according to the Maps app on my phone. Sitting on the couch of my best friend's apartment in Florida, waiting to hear back about my audition for the skating show she's been begging me to join for the past year. Which is pointless. “I have this thing where, no matter how much a book premise interests me, I won't read it unless the first line is interesting to me or grabs me in some way. This one would DEFINITELY hook me.” “It’s refreshing to read a skating book written by someone that actually knows about and appreciates skating!!” “I have the chills.” “I think there is definitely a place for this story in the current romance market, especially coming off the success of The Favorites. ... I can’t wait to attend your book launch someday!“ “This is the kind of book a lot of people would happily devour -- it’s a fun, light, easy read about an interesting and unique world!! “

The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.
