FMA x GIDEON THE NINTH with big 5 editor interest 🔥 A city is bleeding. 🧪 A rogue Empyrist wants a supernatural army. 💕Two men who shouldn’t trust each other are all that’s left. Roman Kiparis doesn’t want to co-lead. Jonathan Flynn refuses to fail again. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #RF

MERLIN x THE RAVEN BOYS 🗡️ Secret Arthurian society 👑 A “True King” who rejects destiny 🏫 Elitist magic school built on ley lines 💕Rivalry with a dangerous Seer ⚔️ Rogue professor threatening magical collapse 🌈 Queer, prophecy-defying upper YA fantasy #QuestPit #Q #YA #F #RF

Ooh, like the Arthurian influence here. 8) And who can argue with a destiny thrust upon a person, amirite? :D

CARRY ON X RAVEN BOYS!? That sounds like something I'd be obsessed with reading.

FMA with Heated Rivalry vibes 🫶🏻 ❤️‍🔥 big 5 editor interest ✔️ Post-war city & political unrest ✔️ Superpowered outcasts ✔️ Captain America / Iron Man–style rivalry ✔️ Rogue scientist villain ✔️ Alchemy & forbidden knowledge ✔️ Queer tension under pressure #A #BluePit #BluePit📖 #Q #F #OV #LGBT #ND #TR

CARRY ON X RAVEN BOYS Lewis doesn’t believe in destiny. Unfortunately,an ancient sword disagrees. At an Arthurian school, he’s named the True King and forced into a prophecy he’s determined to break—while a professor threatens to tear their world apart #YA #BluePit #BluePit📖 #Q #F #OV #LGBT #ND #TR

@manuscriptacademy.bsky.social I read your article about word count in 2026. Would you say a upper YA Fantasy book can stretch to 90k or slightly above?

Happy New Year!

SIX OF CROWS x THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY ☀️climate change and politically charged dystopia 🧔🏻‍♂️the mentor and main politician is the villain 🎸a group of misfits with punk rock vibes 🌈a queer cast, explores queer resistance 🔮very low fantasy #CastPit #W #A #NA #YA #SF #SPF

BBC MERLIN x A DEADLY EDUCATION 🖤 MxM, demisexual homoromantic MC x homosexual LI 🏳️‍🌈 Seer x King dynamic 🤔 subversed tropes Chosen One and hero's journey 🏰 contemporary with medieval vibes 💖 diverse cast! trans and poc characters 🇬🇧 ley lines #DVPit #YA #F #LGBT #Own

Imagine a MxM #F book where an angsty fire bender's leadership is threatened by the new, charming 'pretty boy' of the Conclave with wings and they have to make it work or their past will come to haunt them again. Accidental vibes, that fit oddly specifically: #UnhingedPit #A

🤣

Warning label for The Impostor King: ⚠️annoying Seer ⚠️may cause angst due to one braincell ⚠️the plot is in the hands of a non-sentient sword ⚠️fake dating reverse trope: everyone pretends you're dating but you ⚠️ley lines school you don't want to go to #F #YA #Q #UnhingedPit

I’d eat this up.
