#SumLuv It's not really a meetcute, it's more she sees him and she's intrigued and then he sees her and he's mad about it 😂 #writesky #writingcommunity #wip

Two men dressed in black with swords fighting each other with the following text over: The taller, broader one pulled her gaze, a stark contrast to the others, with suntanned skin and a wild mess of shaggy red hair, a few rogue curls matted with sweat against his forehead. He took his time waiting for his opponent to make a move as he observed with piercing gold-flecked eyes.
Kassidy hadn’t realized she had come to a stop until Maya stepped beside her and said, “Ah, the cadets are training now.”
Xak stepped to the other side of Kassidy while her attention still settled on the two in the middle. “My captain trained here,” he said, looking at Maya. “I’ve been told their instructor is talented.”
“Yes, that would be Riodin there now,” Maya said. Kassidy barely caught the way her nose scrunched with a hint of degradation in her voice. “He is…quite something.”

A throne room in neitral beige and gold tones with the following text box over it: Kassidy gave a slight bow back before her head snapped back toward the door as it opened again and Riodin stepped in. He took one more step into the room and came to an abrupt halt, seemingly taken aback. He blinked, then his eyes narrowed as they snapped to the Queen. “What’s going on?”
Queen Meira took a second to close her eyes as she pressed her lips together, then once her eyes fluttered open, her serene smile returned. “Riodin, you remember that the Idol’s visit is today? Would you mind saying hello?”
His scowl faded for a moment as he blinked at the Queen again—once, twice—but his posture was still stiff, like he was on high alert. “Who?”
There was a pause of silence until Ezra tapped Kassidy’s shoulder just the slightest, a cue to introduce herself again. “Oh, sorry, that’s me,” the words tumbled out, and Riodin’s eyes snapped to hers, that fierce gaze finally landing on her. “Hi, I’m Kassidy.”
Something in those cat-like eyes flashed, but it was gone less than a second later. “Hi,” he grumbled, then turned back to the Queen. “Is this what was so damn urgent?”

A hazy dark picture of a forest with the angle tilted up. The following box of text is over it: He sighed as if she were his biggest problem when she was trying to keep him alive. His eyes were unfocused when he opened them again. “What do you want to talk about?”
She knew from experience that concussions also caused disorientation and affected memory; she needed to make sure he was still lucid. “Tell me your bio. Like your name, birthday, star sign.”
She saw the faintest grin still forming. “Riodin Hawthorne. Second day after the New Year. What the fuck is a star sign?”

A glowing sunset over a field with the following text over it: Sybil fixed Kassidy with an expectant look, her brow rising. “What do they call you in your world, Idol?”
“Definitely not that.” She hesitated then and glanced at Ezra. “My name is Kassidy.”
He raised his brow and bowed his head, as if he had just learned something valuable, but she had questions of her own that needed answering before she gave him any more satisfaction. “Where am I? Who are you? What is this place? How—”
“She does not know?” Sybil whirled on Ezra so fast that she stumbled. “How does she not know?”
Kassidy was growing wary of the same concern that Ezra had voiced. “What am I supposed to know?”
Sybil tsk’d and nodded her head at Ezra. “It has been a long time, Guardian.”
Ezra took a moment before he asked, “How long?”
The room tensed again around this heavily weighted question. The old woman said in a hushed tone, “That witch locked you away for three hundred years.”

ARRIVAL X PARKS & REC A burnt-out lawyer escapes Earth expecting to build humanity's future, only to discover first contact is just another office job—with stranger coworkers, messier politics, and exponentially more paperwork ✨ Monet Inspired Planet ✨ Flirty Bi Alien ML #QuestPit #Q #A #SF #R

An Agent’s Guide to MEETING OF HONESTY by Florrie Auclair

A 100K romantic science-fiction novel

Title slide shows two characters in a romantic dip: an angry human woman in modern clothes and an alien man with flowing, iridescent hair against a soft pink gradient

Pitch Slide:
First contact has more paperwork than Gloria ever imagined.

When aliens arrive on the same planet Gloria's crew intend to colonize, of course they want the same land: the Sunny Spot, the only area with enough light to grow crops with a unique biome. But their territory dispute is moot if a toxic moss ravages it first. Gloria must now facilitate first contact and work with Emeric, the charming alien leader, to manage their shared collaboration.

From alien strangers to bickering rivals, Gloria finds herself developing feelings for Emeric. Until secrets shatter their growing bond. Now she must weaponize bureaucratic red tape and enlist the help of her crew to negotiate—but it means coming clean about her own secrets. At the risk of losing the only people she cares about (including the alien causing her problems), Gloria must be honest with them—and herself—to ensure humanity has a home and its autonomy.

Comp Slide:
The Left Hand of Darkness
Arrival
Parks & Recreation
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist
Translation State
Overruled

With the text: diverse cast, examination of cultural values, alien diplomacy & communication, bureaucratic satire, lush colony planet, legal conflicts, workplace rivals-to-lovers, and prickly FMC

Excerpt Slide

Image of Gloria, a human woman wearing business clothes with a clipboard obscuring the bottom half of her face

Text:
His other hand pointed to their adjoined palms. Beginning at their pinkie fingers, he bounced to the next digit and enunciated a new, unintelligible word. Each finger anointed until reaching her thumb. This was the oddest difference between their hands; his was longer with an extra joint. Clarity crashed into her. Her inhale sharpened.

Five fingers.

Across the universe, she met a new lifeform and they both had five fingers on each hand.

"Oh my god," Gloria breathed. Ironically, it was their shared features that overwhelmed her. Comfort should accompany commonality, but instead, it made this fever dream of an experience harder to deny. It was tangible that she was standing here with a bipedal humanoid with five fingers, even if his skin was blue and he had rainbow hair and feathery moth antennae. Either she was going to start laughing hysterically or throw up.

Warble, the alien agreed (she had no idea if that was an affirmative).

MONK & ROBOT X EMILY WILDE When a blight strikes, an optimistic archivist must track down her hero's fabled garden with the help of an archaic engineer—but secret origins and disillusionment lurk between hard drives and petals. ☀️ Solarpunk 🌷 Floriography 💚 Enby LI #QuestPit #W #A #SF #R

Floral background with the text Mending Glass. By Florrie Auclair. Solarpunk Romantic Sci-Fi

Character portrait of a blond woman making a heart with her hands. Juniper Penrose. An archivist specializing in botany. She idolizes the old world botanist, Miriam, who helped lead the resistance centuries ago. Optimistic and a little reckless, she seeks to uncover the past and find Miriam’s garden. Her drive to help people, sometimes comes at her own expense—like the reason for the mechanical leg she now cherishes.

Next to that is a character portrait of a nonbinary character with light blue eyes and duotone hair in black and blonde. Eli Winter. An aloof engineer who specializes in old world infrastructure programming trying to prove their skills are just as important as the nouveau programmers of the city. They leave their home and grandfather to help Juni break into archaic servers and hard drives—and often pull her out of trouble.

Comp slide with Horizon Zero Dawn, Emily Wildes, A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Violet Evergarden, and Fruits Basket. The text pointing at the various media are Ruins of a fallen industrial world, Solarpunk, Flower Motifs, Traveling to help others and find self discovery, Joyful but melancholic character connections, and Sunshine MC x Sunshine Protector

Data is as fragile as flower petals. That’s why Juniper, an archivist in a recovering solarpunk world, wants to immortalize the past in the Glass Archives. Safe from time’s decay, unlike the archaic hard drives of the old world. Specifically, information on her hero, Miriam, a botanist who legend says grew a garden of resistant plants—ones that could survive the blight ravaging their crops. But to find it, Juniper will need the help of Eli, an engineer who specializes in old world technology. Together they traverse ruins and follow a trail of flower language from village to village to unearth what led to the dark age of information. But Juniper starts to question her identity when they uncover that the woman she modeled herself after was not the hero she believed.

#Editors Heists, spice, and space, oh my! What do you do when: 🏳️‍🌈 You're a disaster bisexual 😱 Space witches want your hyperspace treasure maps 💫 You have to leave Hecate IV before you're caught You ALWAYS GET IN A SPACESHIP WITH A SCOUNDREL 🥵🚀 #QuestPit #AG #OS #A #R #SF

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 are your pre-sets accounting for?" [...]
