A lot of people have used the argument that AI is here to stay so I should accept it as a tool in my life. If you accept destruction in the world because it is already here don’t be surprised when you face the consequences of that destruction.

SWAN LAKE X CEMETERY BOYS All Jamie wants is to prove they belong in ballet. But when they grow close to a boy cursed to turn into a swan unless someone declares love for him, they must set ballet aside and dismantle the walls around their heart or watch him fly away forever #QuestPit #Q #YA #F

THE EVERWINTER KING Desperate to find his missing sun god, a former holy king returns home to compete in trials meant to bring his god back and stop the onslaught of an endless winter. 🏳️‍🌈 Queer norm world ☀️ Light-based magic 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans love interest 👑 Hidden royalty #QuestPit #Q #A #F #LGBT

Title page for an agent's guide to THE EVERWINTER KING. The title is placed over a moodboard featuring a Mediterranean inspired setting and royalty imagery. In addition to the title the page reads "Adult Fantasy Standalone. Queer normative world. MM romance subplot. 99,000 words." THE EVERWINTER KING's pitch. PITCH A former holy king does the one thing he swore he’d never do in search of his missing god. He goes home. Malachi was born with God’s voice in his head. When God vanishes in the midst of a decade-long winter, Mal breaks the oath he made to himself and returns to the home he abandoned—the city where he was raised to be king. There, he’s marked to compete in trials meant to select God’s new emissary. His replacement. After succeeding in the first trial, Mal demands entry to the royal temple, where he learns the skies are empty. God has stopped speaking to his priests and Mal alike. With no other avenue for answers, Mal must win the competition for God’s favor and assume the throne he never wanted, or risk losing his oldest friend for good and damning the world to a worsening everwinter.An excerpt from THE EVERWINTER KING. Next to the excerpt is character art of the main character. He has light bright skin, dark brown hair, facial hair, and a simple jerkin over white shirt. His eye is glowing like the sun. EXCERPT STARTS BELOW “My head hurts,” Malachi mumbled into his drink. “They say King Ridaris’ eye glowed like this.” Did they? Malachi shuffled through his memories for any mention of that from his mothers, or the history books, and found nothing. “I think it means God knows who you are.” Sen lowered her voice, eyes shifting toward the surrounding priests. Kinder to pretend she did it out of concern for his headache. “You need to be careful.” “Aye.” “It hasn’t stopped glowing. Everyone else’s did.” He raised a hand to cover his eye, pausing to marvel at the light pouring over his fingers and palm. It spilled into every crack, crevice, and scar his hand had to offer, like liquid pooled against his skin. Malachi closed his fist around the cold light and pressed it to his face. “Hurts.” “Close your eyes,” Samara offered. “Rest. We’ll handle it from here.” For once, he did just that.A page listing comp titles.
