New project: Those Who Carry My Bones. When the dead god's skeleton her country is built on begins to collapse, a woman must confront her past as part of the organization responsible and reverse the damage, all while falling for a man whose life she accidentally ruined. #questpit #a #f #rf #df #w

TW: Blood Late to the party but here it is! #Questpit #A #F #W Querying in the next few months. BLOODLETTING has: 🩸A blood magic system inspired by my history with self harm 🩸An estranged, angsty brother-sister relationship 🩸An enemies to lovers subplot (the knife-to-the-throat kind)

#CRPCabinRaids Love this prompt! My 3 MCs originated from different class playthroughs on Star Wars: The Old Republic (Jedi Consular, Smuggler, Imperial Agent). I’d love to return them to their origin!

#CRPnessie Prompt Day 6 (4/25): If your characters were pulled into a portal that sent them to the world of a different fantasy novel (or any alternative reality!), where would you send them and why? Also, check the main #CampRevPit feed for info about CABIN RAIDS! 👀

I’ve been sick the first few days of camp and am behind on a lot of things, but I’m feeling better and am excited to participate more! Fancasts are fun! My MC goes through a “shy sad girl vibes” to “feminine rage” transformation that I think Anya Taylor-Joy could pull off so well! #CRPFantasyFoxes

Jacqui Culler@cullerpictures.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Let’s fancast your WIP for today's Discussion Den, #CRPFantasyFoxes! Drop a gif or photo of who might play your MC and/or the villain in the movie of your book! Then give us a description of the vibes you're going for with this character so we can really picture that actor in the role!

Wow you created an entire Claude “skill sheet” of your “voice”? Why not use the free one that lives inside your brain

#CampRevPit Thread! I’m Holly and I’m excited to be a member of the #CRPFantasyFoxes 🤗 I’m currently revising (trimming words 😭) from BLOODLETTING🩸an adult fantasy novel with a magic system that draws on my own history with self harm. I’m excited to get to know everyone!

Excited to learn that this was mine! I've always felt 💫💫 about my pages and 😭😭 about my query, so this feedback is so appreciated!

Q24 A F—Great structure+plot overview—what sticks out are character balance+dynamics. Main focus seems blended in way that might be difficult to manage. Can main QL thread be refined? Hmm. But super intriguing premise! AU's vision aims toward a high bar set by great fantasy books. #RevPit #10Queries

I just finished my first year as a First Reader for #RevPit! Two years ago I was on the other side. Entering, not getting shortlisted, not getting in. And again in 2025. Two times a "loser". Here's what I want every writer who didn't get in to know: 🧵

A new generation of poets rises, inspired by the same springtime that roused Dickinson and Shakespeare. A torch, passed.

Books should take forever to write. They should torture you your entire life and the things you could have said slightly better should haunt you forever. This is what art is for, transferring the discomfort of being human into something relatable to the other humans

Re: my last reposts “Do not put money in the pocket of a woman who has sworn publicly to use it to disenfranchise vulnerable populations” is the smallest ask imaginable. It’s not oxygen, it’s not food. It’s television. You can do without. There are thousands of other shows for you to watch.

A very good Elias line 🥲 for my #RevPit submission

I'm not the person that I was then, I'm tearing him away. I was bitter. I was careless. I was 19 and afraid.

The degree to which I'm willing and able to embarrass myself cannot be overstated

🥰🥰There’s a reference to this line in my #RevPit submission
