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.

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’.

On a background of dark blue water and a pinky purple octopus tentacle Sculptor of the Waves Ivy T. Woods Queer Romantic Fantasy WIP

On a background of dark blue water and a pinky purple octopus tentacles Pitch When Minna is offered a place weaving the winds and waves on one of the largest ships in the Fleet, it comes with a catch—her betrothal to the Deckmistress’ son. Willing to do anything to achieve greatness, she takes the deal, surprised to find that her betrothed is actually quite tolerable. But when they capture a monstrous pirate, Minna is forced into the role of jailer and becomes entranced, putting Minna at odds with her Deckmistress, her betrothed, and the entire crew as she fights to save the monster from both execution and the shackles of the god that enslaves her. But the god is coming to reclaim Its slave and will destroy everything in Its path to get her. On the right is a tall ship illuminated by a sunset in a white circle

On a background of dark blue water and a pinky purple octopus tentacles Comps & Tropes The poster for pirates of the Caribbean, curse of the black pearl and the cover for bury our bones in the midnight soil Bisexual love triangle Actually has to choose Arranged marriage / forced proximity Enemies to lovers Yearning She’s a monster and I don’t care

On a background of dark blue water and a pinky purple octopus tentacles First lines Minna clutched the handrail as the ship smacked into the water, riding a violent dip between waves. Her bare foot slipped on the step and she fell, barking her shin against the steep steps of the ladder. She made a mental note to smack Kadir later—he needed a gentler touch. The seas were to be guided, not forced. She hauled herself off the wooden planks and touched a finger to the sun-darkened skin of her leg. No blood at least. She strode down the aisle between the oars to her father’s cabin at the stern and pushed the door open, not bothering to knock. If the Deckmaster needed her so urgently, he could deal with her barging in.

Pirates of the Caribbean but if Elizabeth was a bisexual mage, Will and Jack were combined into a lesbian monster/pirate, and James Norrington was an age-appropriate hottie that didn’t suck. Then add more angst and a cult

Image: Mood board for Brother’s Keeper WIP: A block of seven images around a central one. Central image: white text on brown background that reads: “Born to be sacrificed: Drowned, shed, burnt and buried, a sin offering for his people. Had he been, all would be free. But he had not, and they weren't. He could never forget it. Brother’s Keeper (working title) A.C. Turek Surrounding images clockwise from center left: column of bonfire, running gray horse, green water, a hand holding a quartz crystal, a view looking up immense tree trunks, a waterfall, a view looking down on a vibrant green forest.

Two brothers—one accursed, one gifted—struggle with the Power of an empathic bond unseen for centuries. As Rushak seeks to escape his curse, Drisal must wield it as evil arises to threaten the world. But the prophesied Power can return only once, and the Shining One is … somebody else. #WIPPIT #F #A

When sickness kills a third of the kingdom’s people, including the king himself, the scepter is passed to the next heir in line. But there’s something off about the king’s only son—and someone’s hellbent on finding out what.

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”

Phoebe and the Space Dragon, 92k Adult Sci-fi

Pitch: 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."

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.

The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall. They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias’s imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—a time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens. As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction—how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.’ Large closing quotation mark.
