Is it okay to pitch if I don’t have a finished novel yet?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•108 days ago

Absolutely

kristenrenee.bsky.social•108 days ago

Can you participate on both twitter and bluesky?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•108 days ago

Yes, of course!

we can pitch with memes?? my time has come

this sounds like a cool idea

sabrinamars.bsky.social•107 days ago

Cannot wait to see what you come up with

adwills.bsky.social•107 days ago

my dumbass didn't notice the date and didn't realize it was today so I'm not quite ready yet😭💀

almost done revisions though!

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

Any stage of your novel is welcome, and it’s never too late to jump in!

unhingedpit.bsky.social•108 days ago

💯

michellehazen.bsky.social•108 days ago

Does liking posts = requests at all, or is this just a "I like this idea" supportive kind of thing, since everyone's at different phases?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•108 days ago

Likes from industry professionals normally translate as “query me, please”, but these individuals tend to also make a post with their intentions and how-to-query instructions. Non-industry professionals are encouraged to like/repost at will.

michellehazen.bsky.social•107 days ago

Great! That makes sense!

jcastroarnaud.bsky.social•107 days ago

I don't have anything pitch-able at the moment. Can I improvise a #microfiction story?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

Sure, just be clear with its category.

bethwritesbooks.bsky.social•107 days ago

Wait I didn't know this was coming here! I'm so happy about this. About to cook up some posts 😅

ed-near.bsky.social•107 days ago

Do we include the title of our work in each post?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

Not if you don’t want to

ed-near.bsky.social•107 days ago

Also, do we include the unhinged hashtag?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

#UnhingedPit it is

So excited!

pudgypuk.bsky.social•108 days ago

1. can i get a sample/example of what these posts might look like? i’ve never seen this event before but it sounds fun…

2. where in the creation process do works have to be to participate in it?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•108 days ago

1. A few examples are listed on the ‘Rules’ image, but really you can generally pitch your work in any way you’d like - the crazier the better.
2. Any stage!

pudgypuk.bsky.social•108 days ago

o7 i see, i see…

Nope

This is a truly unhinged question

mynameisjoyous.bsky.social•108 days ago

When is the first event?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•108 days ago

Keep an eye on the page! And get ready 😜

brigidbarryme.bsky.social•108 days ago

It's a pop up event with no notice!

ahdavison.bsky.social•107 days ago

Is there anything else we can do to help agents navigate the unhinged tag today? Do reposts of each other's pitches help or make it more challenging? ❤️

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

I would def RP. Agents are available to search the # to find pitches as well.

ahdavison.bsky.social•107 days ago

Any recommendations on the timing of our 3 posts? All at the same time? Interspersed with a few hours in between? What works best?

Thanks for hosting this! I'm so excited 🫀

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

You can post them whenever you want!

This is how to bookmark posts on Bluesky.

vjknipe.bsky.social•108 days ago

I've lost the post that tell me how to do this. Can you point me in the right direction?

genl.bsky.social•108 days ago

Tagged you on the post

ypaladin.bsky.social•107 days ago

I see you can do 3 posts, can I pitch 3 different WIPs?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yep!

leesuttonwriteon.bsky.social•107 days ago

just-knowone.bsky.social•107 days ago

Is this for writing or?...

What are you getting at I'm scratching my head

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

Yes, this is for anyone who wants to showcase their writing (novel, short story, poetry, etc) in a way that is unconventional compared to other pitch events.

just-knowone.bsky.social•107 days ago

etc 🤔
I may have messed up my submission as I'm not sure how this app really works lol

randomfandomxyz.bsky.social•107 days ago

Can fanfic writers participate? I'm new and have never seen this before, looks like fun.

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

Hmm 🤔 as long as you make it clear it’s fanfic.

susielindau.bsky.social•108 days ago

Are you running it on X, too? I noticed some Unhinged buzz over there. If so, we should probably post on both platforms, yes?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•108 days ago

Yes, you can post on both 👌

ldoyleowens.bsky.social•108 days ago

rosemaryvictus.bsky.social•107 days ago

Does the rule against a sentence mean no quotes from the project or just no one sentence pitches?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

Unless delivered in an unhinged way, no quotes.

rosemaryvictus.bsky.social•107 days ago

Forgive me, I don't want to violate the rules...so basically no just like single quote posts? Like it has to be something more presentation wise?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

Be as creative as you can. Plain quotes in text or with a canva background are a no-go.

ameliagthorn.bsky.social•108 days ago

excuse me where’s my trademark for “crude stick drawings”

This is THEFT

(cannot understate this is A JOKE)

dani-s-writes.bsky.social•107 days ago

Unless I've missed it, there's no way to schedule posts on here? It starts at midnight for me so unfortunately I will miss out on this platform if so :(

unhingedpit.bsky.social•107 days ago

I’ve heard a site called buffer helps schedule, we reposted someone who shared about it if you check out our page. Also - fashionably late is well-welcomed!

dd-lee.bsky.social•108 days ago

Where do we post and are there examples?

unhingedpit.bsky.social•108 days ago

Some examples are listed on our Rules image. Use the hashtag #UnhingedPit at the bare minimum, and post away.

joconklin.bsky.social•108 days ago

If you’re still on X, search the hashtag there for examples! You may need to scroll a bit to get to the pitches themselves. It’s a chance to do fun weird versions of your pitch, like AITA or personal ads for your MC, emojis, funny gifs, off-the-wall trope list, etc.
