#SumLuv Day 4 In OSaS, Annora and Ronan are attracted to each other when they first meet but it's their bond that draws them together (fated mates)! Not love/lust at first sight, more like curiosity/intrigue. The first time Ronan sees Ani she's playing the harp. He's impressed but also smitten 🪉

Meet cutes don't have to be "cute"! They are a plot device 🧡 But! Let's talk about how they DO feel about each other early on! Is it fairytale love? Is it *lust* at first sight? Hate at first sight? All?? Snips here are welcome (always welcome if you want to answer anything with a snip) 🧡 #SumLuv

#SumLuv Day 3 I like meet-cutes! And meet-awkwards! I usually write them in fanfics, not so much in my original stories. Take my resident evil fics for example. I make Claire and Leon get stuck on a ferris wheel together. In another one, Claire flirts with him to avoid a speeding ticket. Etc. 😎

OF STEEL AND SEALSKIN / Adult Romantasy ⚔️🦭 Pitch: After years of captivity, a selkie enters a marriage of convenience to reclaim her stolen sealskin — but her new husband, a famed war hero, has secrets of his own... A slow burn romance inspired by selkie folklore ✨🏰🪉 #QuestPit #W #A #F #R

Agent Guide to OF STEEL AND SEALSKIN Romantasy 97k word targetAnnora edvards is the most celebrated courtesan in the city of eleoria — and she’s harboring a dark secret: she’s a selkie trapped in her human form. Her captor, lord percival edvards, has kept her sealskin hidden for eight long years, forcing her into a life of servitude. Now he seeks to marry her off before she outlives her worth, hosting a unique spectacle for the occasion and seeking the highest price from a promising list of suitors. Ronan of Agerton is a famed war hero from the northern half of the kingdom — and he has plenty of secrets of his own. Secrets involving his origins, his innate ability to bond with animals and tame beasts, and his intentions in vying for Annora’s hand in marriage. There’s no denying the attraction between them;a powerful feeling that’s steeped in forbidden magic. But can their bond survive fate? Will ronan prove to be the liberator Annora has longed for? Will Annora reclaim her sealskin — and her freedom?"Memoirs of a Geisha" and "In the Veins of Drowning" meet selkies!Tropes

#WIPSnips When they first meet, Ronan and Annora chat for a while, away from the chaos of a bustling party. They agree that trust is hard to come by, and (while both have their own secrets) Ronan is determined to live life to the fullest while there's still breath in his body! #writesky #indieauthor

Annora wanted to be the lead healer in her pod. (In selkie culture, everyone has a designated role). As a human, she would've liked to be a musician. Ronan wanted to work with animals. Anything from hunting to herding. Vesper wanted to be a baker 🥧 Percival was born into nobility so 🤷🏻‍♀️ #writesky

#WIPSnips 🦭⚔️ A little bit of Ronan's backstory! After retiring his life as a soldier in the royal army, boredom quickly sets in. Bounty hunting renews his sense of purpose (keeping him busy) — and ultimately leads to his chance encounter with a certain selkie... #writersky #writesky #indiewriter

#WIPSnips A little bit of lore in this snippet! In OSaS, Veremor is on the verge of an industrial revolution/technological boom. Magic is forbidden, religious practices are nearly obsolete, and science is the way forward! This puts soldiers like Ronan in a strange place. 🧵 #writersky #writesky #wip

Annora, a courtesan, would probably answer with "musician" or "entertainer." Ronan: "Bounty hunter." Vesper, depending on her mood, would say either "private security" or "babysitter." Percival would laugh and say smth like "you don't know who I am??" And then walk away lol #writesky #indieauthor
