tired of the "#1 dad" nonsense. if you're a dad, stop treating it like a joke and post your actual national dad ranking. i'm # 492,018, which is actually really high up there, but more importantly it lets me enter ranked dad lobbies where i can get matched up for fistfights with dads of my caliber

𝗛𝗲𝗿🧭I came here to learn German. Not to inch closer to my disarming, bruised host with every word, every laugh. We’re just friends—until our nights turn sultry. Until Berlin, edgy and mellow, teases a different life, if only I'd stay. I can’t. I've planned my future... elsewhere. #Questpit #Q #A #R

𝗛𝗶𝗺⚓The only fight I have left in me is for my son. I've no time for the houseguest the language institute sent me by mistake. Until we talk. We click. Suddenly, I'm wishing for things again. But she's not a choice I can make. Come fall, I'll have to let her go too. #Questpit #Q #A #R

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚@ellieyellu.bsky.social · 5mo ago

A guide to Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel, a queer, heisty, spicy, sci-fi romance manuscript. Good Heists. Bad Decisions. Great Chemistry. Are you its reader? 😍🌈🥵🌌🚀❤️

The first page of a pitch deck. A neon pink art deco border pulls words out of a romantic starry space background. This border and background repeat over the following images. The title page reads in art deco gold and neon pink: An editor's guide to -- Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel -- A Sci-fi Romance by Ellie Rhymer. Representation Christi Cardenas.

Romantic pink and sci-fi neon and stars: Pitch. Good heists. Bad Decisions. Great Chemistry.

Anora is the quick-thinking manager of an illegal casino, fleeing the assassination of her gang's boss with the hyperspace treasure maps thrust into her hands as he died.

Jayro is a mouthy interstellar smuggler from the wrong side of the hyperspace lane with the only ship that can get Anora off Hecate IV before the emperor's relic-hunting space witches close a net around the planet.

The two bad-at-feelings bisexuals try to tamp down simmering, inconvenient attraction as they are forced to work together with the scrappy, tight-knit crew of the Helle Wanderer to survive in the criminal underworld and discover the secret at the end of the dangerous maps.

Their love story is a heist and they're stealing more than each other's hearts.

Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel by Ellie Rhymer

Romantic neon pink and a starry background: Excerpt. “Those are pre-set…” Jayro warned as Anora toggled a series of switches at the nav computer and began actively moving data streams around the screen.
“Pre-set for scans for //stationary objects//. You pick out your nav programs like you pick out your paint schemes?”
Jayro felt annoyance rising up in him again. The cockpit was his domain. Never mind that he agreed with her about the deco. “It took Fish weeks to get those programs running!”
“Look, unless you want to meet an asteroid face to face, shut the hells up and let me work.” Anora frowned as she watched some data return from the program. “Call engineering.”
“Gladly.” Jayro opened the channel on his wrist communicator.
“Yeah?” Fish’s voice responded.
“The new navigator is having trouble with her—” Jayro broke off as Anora grabbed his forearm and yanked his wrist in front of her own face, causing his chair to whirl towards her.
“What on-boards are your pre-sets accounting for?” she asked into the communicator without a glance at him.
“The hyrdobeacon,” crackled Fish’s reply, “the fore and aft isotrope routers…and the gravitic drive buffer, I think.”
Jayro was frozen as Anora swiped at the nav one-handed. He could feel her warm breath on his palm as she spoke with Fish through his communicator, her hand gripping his forearm almost burning him through his flight jacket. She was close enough to smell the blaster emissions wafting off her, the sharp, citrus scent of the steam bath clinging to her skin. His fingertips were millimeters from her cheek and he wanted to cup her face in his hand and drag her around to look at him with those bright eyes. He wanted to play with the flyaway bit of hair that had missed her ponytail and brush his thumb over her lips until they parted.
What was wrong with him?

#CampRevPit is 1st page swaps, positivity passes, and community prompts. It’s all run by authors from the #RevPit community because the editors are all in our editing caves. It’s definitely a nice way to come down from the chaos of the annual contest + make some great connections with other writers

THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA × BEST SERVED COLD × THE BUTCHER BOY When a Court Jester snaps and brutally murders the tyrant king, he must perform and slay his way out of a kingdom in chaos, hunted by loyalists, hailed by rebels, while his sanity slips and fractures. #PosterPit #W #A #F #H

A vertical poster for "MARK OF THE JESTER" features a split-color design: white on the left with black elements and black on the right with white elements. A thin border frame at the top contains the phrase "A DARK FANTASY."
The central image consists of a large, stylized jester’s mask split down the middle to match the background. The mask features one hollow eye hole and a wide, grinning mouth colored deep red. Four mirrored rose silhouettes surround the mask.
The title is rendered in a distressed, hand-drawn font. On the left, a black laurel wreath contains the text, "A most unreliable narrator!" On the right, a white laurel wreath contains the text, "Horror! Madness! Laughs!"
The bottom left includes an "R" rating box with warnings for violence, sexual content, language, and disturbing images. The bottom right lists "WRITTEN and DIRECTED by B. VAN BODEGOM" above a synopsis regarding a jester and a king.
