WEDNESDAY x IT (2017) Denny super messed up. In his quest to find his missing sister, he burned down some houses to kill some monsters, which released a serial killer ghost. To make things worse, the only medium who can help would rather play the cello than save strangers. #QueerPit #YA #M #H

A collage image that says An Agent's Guide to Reach Out a 85,000 word YA horror/fantasy with mystery elements. The collage is made up ripped papers that are black or have words on them then in the top right corner is a polaroid of a girl in a hoodie climbing into an empty pool then in the bottom right are colorful tarot cards of death on a white horse, the fool walking off a cliff and wolves howling at the moon, in the bottom left is a cassette tape labeled "In case I disappear" Lined paper with a polaroid of a mauseleum in the top left corner. The top says "The Pitch" and it is circled in red with the following words: Well, Denny sure messed up this time. He had one goal. One goal! And failed. Somehow, rather than finding his missing sister, he released a serial killer ghost with a penchant for drowning people. And if that wasn’t already a lot, the one person in town who can see ghosts would rather play the cello than save strangers. Lined paper that is split into two sections the first says Tropes/Rep and is circled in red then a torn out note page is taped to the paper that says the following: Found Family Epistolary Interludes Rewind, Replay, Repeat Witchcraft Meddling Kids Missing Person Unsolved Mysteries & Urban Legends Ghostly Goals 90s Vibes Underneath is another taped ripped page featuring the following pride pins: Trans, Asexual, Lesbian, Progress Pride The other side says Comps at the top and is circled in red then there are photo booth style images hanging. The left from top to bottom: A random image of a maseleum and then Enid and Wednesday from Wednesday over the image; A building with an old sign out front with the Mystery Gang from Scooby-Doo; A cemetery photograph with the cast from IT (2017) standing there; a long white hallway of a bomb shelter and the two characters from Dead Boy Detectives. The right from top to bottom: The Underwood Tapes by Amanda Dewitt book cover wih two people facing opposite ways and tape around them from a cassette; The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson book cover which is a blue and white with a faded scene of a street; Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake book cover with a woman's back as she stands in fog looking at a building; Dead Flip by Sara Farizan book cover with several characters looming over an arcadeLined paper that says a snippet at the top and is cirlced in red and beside it is a destroyed casette tape then the following words: Dear listener who is probably just Denny. I bet you’re chuckling now ‘cause I’m right, aren’t I? Anyway, this is my ‘in case I disappear’ tape but the rest is a real treat for you. It’s some impressive project I’ve been working on. Though if I am missing, tell mom it wasn’t the monsters, but I’m, like, studying archeology at some college where I’m on some research trip with the professor to find the amulet. Then really buckle down and be all like ‘You know, the amulet? How do you not know about the amulet? What kind of mom are you?’ until she cries or something then you can tell the truth. I want her to feel bad for always being ‘too busy.’ "

WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, ship's cook Tai is stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QueerPit #A #Q #R #SF

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 110,000 words "Did you hear? There's a human on board." A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling. alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)PITCH: Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist. Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway? That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no. PRIORITIES: make dinner remain cozy haul cargo go for drinks pull off one last score try not to fall in loveFIRST PAGE: “Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.” I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity. “Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.” “Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table. It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best. The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let themcome here.” The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”COMPS: Murderbot by Martha Wells Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers TROPES: Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm lying to themselves non-human perspective (afraid of humans) neurodivergent main characters metaphorically disabled protagonist slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship disabilitynorm and queernorm setting found family loveable pet/terrifying monster
