When she hears the footsteps behind her, she doesn't rise from the lounger or turn her head. Just rolls her eyes and takes another gulp of wine. 'I told you to leave,' she slurs. 'There's nothing more to say.' 'I've plenty to say.' Her head whips round then. She smiles. #1stLinePit #Q #A #R #S

The Gods must fucking hate me. It was the only fathomable explanation for why, with all their infinite and omniscient wisdom, they’d decided to shove a mutated beast outside the only escape route from the tower. #1stLinePit #A #NA #RF #Q All the light we cannot see x Radiance

UPROOTED x EMILY WILDE Heidi adjusted the microscope’s lens, darting glances up at the professor to ensure her mentor couldn’t see what she was working on. 🪲✨🌌🏳️‍🌈📚💕 Can a natural historian save the one she loves at the cost of her heart, or worse, her research? #1stLinePit #Q #A #F #RF #CZ #CMe

Quick q. My adult romantasy features a disabled MC. I had Fourth wing as my comp but after #RevPit it needs to go. The other comp I've used with a disabled MC is carving shadows into gold, relatively new but YA not A, Godkiller is the wrong vibe, so has anyone got any suggestions for a good comp?

SECRET OF NIMH x WARRIORS I (Magic Cat, 2F) accidentally burned an entire forest. When my mentor (Wicked Owl, 8M) pushed me forward in time and took my kittens, I joined the animal underground to find them. I’m ready to hunt him down. AITA? #MG #F #Q #UnhingedPit #amquerying #writingcommunity

#UnhingedPit #A #F #R #Q All the light we cannot see x Radiance One of my (many) dreams was to be a children's book illustrator. I've pulled out all the stops to illustrate this snippet from my adult, second chance, gothic romantasy with a visually impaired MC, and an unhinged emotional support wolf
