Moodboard and synopsis of a short story about an alligator beast man and a trans man MC.

I was hesitant to post this for #HotWetQueerSummer because I started 5 pages of it and then fell through. I'm not sure if I'll make it in time but I just wanted a gator-beast man to rail a trans man MC.

Let's see if I can make it happen within 2 months 🐊

A moodboard of images that represent my wip, Twice Drowned, for the #HotWetQueerSummerJam. The first image is a crop of a painting of a blonde woman with a piercing gaze with flowers and leaves in her hair (Ophelia by Ernest Hebert). The second image is a neon sign of a cowboy riding a horse. The third image is a crop of a blonde woman in sunglasses and a hat, evoking the vintage femme fatale. The fourth image is a crop of a male presenting hairy chest with a blue shirt open, exposing a gold cross necklace. The fifth image is a crop of a woman in a flowing silk gown stepping out of the sea. The sixth image is of a vintage motel sign in the middle of the desert. The seventh image is of a mermaid rescuing a man, an illustration from Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid. The eighth image is of a pair of cacti in the desert landscape of Arizona. The ninth image is of a woman, dressed in a long white dress with her hair down, and a man, dressed in black, staring out at a desolare landscape or seascape (Two human beings. The lonely ones by Edvard Munch). The background features a lone figure in blue perched upon a rock formation, staring out to the sea (a crop of Odysseus and Calypson by Arnold Bocklin).

Super late but here's my #HotWetPitch! Just a little moodboard to show off the general vibes of the story as well as a title reveal; Twice Drowned. Western meets Fairytale, Historical meets Fantasy, CowboyxMermaid, a 1950s set adventure with a pinch of horror/romance #wip #r #h #HotWetQueerSummer

On a background of a curve in a dirt road, text reads: Take Root It’s a dry heat. Pulls sweat from pores. Evaporates river swell unswollen on rock. Every pine needle and leaf crunches underfoot. Under shade of fir and pine Matthew walks the trail from Tyson's ranch to town, rather than have someone whip around a corner flying down the mountain road. If he took the mountain road every day, people in town would learn well enough to keep from hurting him—people in town typically learn just barely well enough to keep from hurting him.

On a background of long stems and roots: It’s there when he wakes up. A discomfort that pushes on skin and muscle when he turns over. Something that drags under the sheets, that trails behind him. He adrenaline jolts awake, that something is in him. Take Root Fenrir Cerebellion okaywolf.ink

⛈️ Midnight on the Coast ⛈️

A couple of dudes find themselves always meeting late at night for a job that needs to be handled. They've gone back and forth for years, but there was one day that keeps them in a small old cabin off the coast of that old beach.

The most unserious graphic with HOT WET PITCH in the corner and TITLE TBA on the other side. Five images of pasta of some kind, with the fourth being eyes of a horrified and disbelieving individual.

#hotwetpitch #a #e #wip

Oh you thought I was done, huh?

You thought I was only writing one thing, huh?

The pasta is coming for your pockets.

Title to be announced.

Here's my #hotwetpitch for #hotwetqueersummer! So excited to share this! As of 6 days ago, I had a blank sheet of paper and an empty brain. Today, they're all I'm thinking about.
🪸

I am camping, and have not managed anything new for #hotwetpitch so here’s my announcement graphic again.

TROPE MAP: autistic & bisexual representation, poc mlm couple, underground monster sex club, organized crime subplot, monstrosity as disability, and some very nasty vampire anatomy.

PITCH: Fledgeling monster hunter Ahmad just wants to graduate college as fast as possible so he can hunt monsters full-time. But when Ahmad is framed for a crime he didn’t commit, the prospect of getting his hunting license starts looking bleak — and even worse, he’s pretty sure he’s being stalked by a demonic presence that’s hell-bent on taking his life. Enter Quentin, Ahmad’s bratty vampire defense lawyer with a chip on his shoulder and a closet full of secrets. If they want to make it through the night (and Ahmad’s court date) alive, the unlikely pair are forced to work together…even when it means confronting Quentin’s mafia past and Ahmad’s monstrous future. As tensions rise and old enemies come back to bite, things take a turn for the spicy. All’s fair in love and law.

WHAT’S LEFT OF THE NIGHT

♣️ supernatural tm/m romance
♥️ bratty vampire sub x human dom
♠️ jock monster hunter protag
♦️ jaded ex-mafia love interest

pitch makes it sound serious, but this book is goofy af. reservoir dogs meets shadowhunters meets ace attorney 😜

A collage of nine images with three colour stories slowly blending together: red, blue-green, and black-and-grey. Overall, they paint a picture of a mysterious, suspenseful urban fantasy focused on people and liminal spaces. At the center bottom is the word "refrain" to match the title. The images are: Red: dripping icicles on an overhang cast in red light like bloody teeth; a night sky with two crescent moons in the center like closed eyes; a dark alleyway lit only at the edges of the entrance by bright red light. Blue-green: a streetlamp casting light on a dark corner of a road; abstract close-up of an eye with a grey pupil, wide iris, and a dark figure reflected in it. Black-and-grey: a dark space with thin industrial lights illuminating tiny portions of it; a dark silhouette of a person against a pale backdrop, with broad shoulders and pulled-back hair. Blended: a night shot of an ultramodern skyscraper framed by two classical-style buildings (specifically the Walkie Talkie in London); a shot glass on a white backdrop, with red liquid neatly poured in it, while a few drops of the same liquid sit to the side

🩸 MELT (refrain) 🩸

n. the burden of a song.
v. to hold back.
n, again. the burden of a man.

or: is it fine to rejoice in someone's immortality when he never wanted it in the first place?

🌙 #1 in a nonlinear series
🌙 M/M T4T
🌙 yeah it's vampires.

#HotWetQueerSummer Meet my WIP With a tentacle, she plucked one and turned it over, admiring its iridescent sheen. It was a pearl. One of her many tears having taken shape after seeding the sweet flesh of an oyster. She never ceased to marvel at the miracle; the delicate layers of mucus containing her joys, fears, and sorrows were always something to behold. To be gifted such a treasure was something she would amply reward. Erotic Cosmic Horror | 10K Her Pearls @emrynbird

An infographic featuring an illustrated cover titled "In Deep by Rori Thornton". It features a white human man lying back in a relaxed pose on a beach topless, which shows his top surgery scars which are stylized similar to bull horns. He has short blue hair and a matching beard, as well as a wooden prosthetic left arm. Looming over him is a very large monstrous scaled man mostly in shadow due to having dark blue scales and sunset lighting behind him. His one golden eye stands out from black sclera, and behind his horned bony crest are glowing, light green feathery gills like a mane. His left eye is replaced by a black pearl prosthetic. Text around the image reads: "Dad x Dad", "Old Enemies to New Lovers", "Trans Man Lead", "Dual POV", "Retired Adventurer", "Sea Dragon King", and "You're so into me it makes you look stupid". Bottom text reads: #HotWetQueerSummer.

Retired adventurer Page's past comes back to haunt him when the sea prince he saved as an egg - child of Deep King Rhakhaasch, the sea dragon he gained fame for taking out the eye of - wants to enroll in his training school for adventurer wannabes. 📚🌈

A promotional piece for #HotWetPitch displaying a painted beach and ocean, overlaid with a pixelated book cover. De La Mar, Con Amor sits beside it, and a box overlaid on the beach portion states the following: Xionel's grandmother is dead. In her will she leaves him everything from her home, her wealth, and makes a final plea to him: return to Nicaragua. The one place, in all his travels as a nature photographer, he never had the heart to return to. Xionel makes the decision to go, called by the ache of missing a home and culture he's never known but always loved, and finds the roots his grandmother buried go deeper than he could ever have imagined."

The same beach and sea painting overlaid with the same book with its pixelated cover saying Work In Progress, now centered, with tropes surrounding it. It includes, from left top and counter clockwise to the right, BIPOC trans MC x Cis(?) mermain LI, latin inspired witchcraft & mythos, mermaids & shapeshifters, hot ritual sex, finding your place & identity, family magic, queer rep, and finally: m/m romance.
