Aesop is a fairy godfather who has never once thought about his own happy ending. When a glitch in the fairytale generator produces Jessie, a wilfully unprogrammed character, he’s forced to consider what it means to be ‘real’. WESTWORLD X SHREK 2 #wippit #f #a

Aesthetic board: fairy tale inspired. Spiralling vortex, old book, spotted mushroom, women in gowns, the fairy godmother from Shrek 2, a clockwork pocket watch, and a work desk.

A movie poster, at the top is the title “Hell Is Work” and underneath it a tag line “The Devil is in the details” The background is red with a light red graph showing a plummeting arrow representing a failing business. In the foreground is a three pronged Devil’s pitchfork with a halo around the central tine. Sitting on the curved crook of the right tine, nonchalant, with one arm wrapped around the tine is a black silhouette of a man wearing a suit and tie. His legs dangle casually above a field of flame. On the curved crook of the left tine, staring at the other man, is a white figure of a man with wings spread, casually playing footsie with the other man. At the bottom is the words “A novel by Zed Prospero”

Wayfarers x Farscape Peace between alien races could shatter unless a neurodivergent, space-phobic marine biologist, the sexy, secretive ex she’s “over”, and their tween daughter can guide a pregnant space dragon to her nursery world before she loses her clutch. #QuestPit #AG #SF

Phoebe and the Space Dragon, 92k Adult Sci-fiPitch: In space, no one can hear you scream...at your ex. There's no room for argument when a pregnant, endangered creature demands you help her reach her nursery world---even if you're forced to fly with your ed. For anxious marine biologist Remy, the only thing scarier than space would be falling back in love with the man who shattered her heart. Tropes and comps: forced proximity, second chance love, co-parenting, middle-aged MC and LI, painful secrets.Looking down on Earth from space was allegedly a life changing event, but Remy was busy gripping her armrest and praying for delivery from a sudden, violent death. Why bother looking towards home? Any second now, she’d be plummeting back. Maybe orbiting trash would crash into them. Or the shuttle could lose power and drift into the void until they all died of hypoxia. All. That was the worst part: if she died, her only child died, too. Not that the daughter in question seemed to appreciate the gravity of the situation. Phoebe was all wide eyes and smiles as the budget shuttle rocketed them towards their almost certain demise. "Dad?" He glanced around at the silver-collared crew, all carefully not paying attention to the interaction, as usual—except for Solkar, who winked. "Captain Bellamy when we’re on the bridge, Phoebe,” he whispered. She scowled at him. "It's Navigator Walker, then." The corner of his mouth quirked like she’d said something funny instead of grown-up and serious. "You're right, we need to keep this as professional as possible, Navigator Walker." "Or we could act like we’re still a family," she muttered, half-hoping her voice didn’t carry across the Hasma’s pool. “At least one of us still wishes we were.” He looked a little hurt. It didn’t make her feel any better, but she didn’t apologize. If she was hurting, so could he. And it wasn’t like he ever apologized. "I am your family, Navigator Walker. A bit of time and distance doesn’t change that."
