Hi #crpshrikes! 🗡️🐦‍⬛ I’m behind on these because i’m in the messy phase of buying a home so I’m gonna do a bunch at once. Fave part: Dialogue. Character voice. Banter. Character-driven humour. Least fave: wtf is plotting. Why must things occur

#CRPShrikes Zarrin has so much wrong with her body she’s a regular sports massage girl. Break her down to her composite parts please. David would benefit a lot from being forced to unwind the permanent tension knot in his spine but doesn’t believe he’s allowed nice things.

Full disclosure #CRPShrikes I don’t love writing romance. I prefer siblings & friends! David & Zarrin’s friendship is at the core of my ms. They’re foils, they share values, they can’t function without one another, they roast eachother, Zarrin makes David bodily carry her on difficult terrain.

Your usual survival skills will probably suit you well in the world of DO NO HARM: modern-day England with an alternate history and somewhat worse concentration of wealth. Magic exists, but most people never get a glimpse of it. For now. #CRPShrikes 🗡️🐦‍⬛

WIP: ‘Milton’, whose real name is Humiliation, is a 350-year-old vampire, formerly of puritanical Salem, MA. Vampirism does not suit him. He’s dour, dutiful, snarky, and the biggest wife guy ever. I enjoy him because he’s pathetic and it’s funny, but also because he’s so loyal. #CRPShrikes (5/5)

WIP: Lydia is a grieving 20something who does logistics for an arctic exploration firm, and a new-minted vampire-hunter. She’s determined, resourceful, good at manipulating people, and slowly alienating all her friends. I love how her anger can’t quite snuff out her kind heart. #CRPShrikes (4/5)

Querying MS: Zarrin is a healer-in-training who’s determined to take down the institution from within. She’s impulsive, charming, determined, chaotic and full of rage. I love how gremlin-coded she is: She WILL break into your house and fill your sink with live shrimp. #CRPShrikes (3/5)

Querying MS: David is a Ph.D. student studying healing magic, because he has none of his own. He’s analytical, frank, probably autistic, definitely affection-starved. I love how relatable he is: he’s all of us on the first day at a new school when everyone else is already friends. #CRPShrikes

Hi #CRPShrikes 🗡️🐦‍⬛ I’ll have to answer this in parts, since I love dual protags. It feels wrong to separate them. Like bonded cats. 1/5

Hi #CRPshrikes! My dad read us LoTR when I was four. Kinda been writing fantasy in my head ever since. Goals: meet everyone, a query package polish on my medical urban fantasy, drafting accountability on my unnamed vampire WIP, read great stuff! Cheers, fellow stabby birds! #CampRevPit

Hi #RevPitWaiting! Goals for the month: do some revising of my ms to tighten the pacing in act 1 and get the scene-by-scene plotting done for my unnamed vampire project. Also, name it. What do y’all think of… 1) ICE IN THEIR VEINS 2) THE COLD ONES 3) COME IN FROM THE COLD

I’m a plotter, but occasionally the pants ghosts will whisper to me, and I’ve found it pays to follow them into the unknown.

Hi #RevPitWaiting! So much. For my #Querying ms DO NO HARM, there’s a really vivid physical contrast between the two protags that I love exploring visually. Here are a couple different commissions and then one of my own pieces!

Hi #RevPitWaiting! I have many a meme for DO NO HARM. Here’s a couple:

Hi #Revpitwaiting! It’s VERY wip, but… THE TERROR x WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS A Caribbean-Canadian amateur vampire hunter grieving the loss of her father teams up with a dour 350-year-old vampire to stop the icy entity claiming lives in the frozen north. Working title: ICE IN THEIR VEINS.

My fav authors are: - Nnedi Okorafor: Showed me I could write stories I love with girls that look like me - Octavia Butler: Her writing is so prophetic, metaphorical, and experimental - Suzanne Collins: The hunger games series is done so well and always makes me think. #RevPitWaiting

#RevPitWaiting you KNOW I’m gonna show you Persephone. Behold: 6.8lbs of whiny pissbeast [affectionate]

Hi, #RevPitWaiting! I couldn’t pick just one, so here’s a playlist. open.spotify.com/playlist/0Le...

I absolutely do accents and say things aloud. I’ve got characters from NYC, South London, Glasgow, Cardiff, Mbabane and Salem, all with different idiom and flow. I don’t literally write out accents, but I want to feel the accent in the cadence of the dialogue.

Hi #RevPitWaiting! DO NO HARM has a few pieces of in-diegesis poetry, of widely varying quality. I recruited my brother, an actual poetry scholar, to help me write the worst possible poem for this bit:

#RevPitWaiting for Friday, March 20: What snippet are you most proud of, is most representative of your #revpit story, or holds a special place in your heart? 💙 This is our last prompt for the week. Check back Monday for more!

Hi #RevPitWaiting! A contemporary fantasy steeped in medical science and haunted by the Victorian era, DO NO HARM has the mood and conspiracy themes of ‘Blood Over Bright Haven’ and the character-driven wit of ‘House of Open Wounds’. With a dash of murder mystery thrown in.

Hi #RevPitWaiting! POVs in DO NO HARM: David (he/him): Awkward and cerebral, he studies magic because he has none himself Zarrin (she/her): A chaos-goblin, a healer and a fighter for magical equity Puck (they/them): A brilliant scientist, Puck just wants to unravel the genetics of magic in peace.

Hi #RevPitWaiting! When PhD student David finds the body of a healer in his shower, he and his rebel-healer best friend Zarrin must solve a murder and dodge a killer to save magical medicine. DO NO HARM is a 76k adult dark academia fantasy about healthcare, otherness, and world-changing science.

The doors are guarded by two brothers. One’s hips cannot lie and the other’s hips cannot tell the truth.

I’m Mary! Professional scientist by day, scribbler/doodler/crafter by night, karaoke wizard and game night DM. I live in Toronto with my husband and very very small dog (pictured getting stuck on top of her kennel)

Submitted DO NO HARM to #RevPit! What a fun process. Found three editors whose profiles I resonated with a lot and I can’t wait to try my luck with them. Who did y’all submit to? Why?
