Here's a thread of my PitDark pitches! [1/12] xitter.gq/ShiningCrobat/status/1…
Baldur’s Gate✖️High Maintenance A sorceress & her ex-royal merc mother are hunted by a death cult. A country wizard returns home w/ something to prove & entranced by a mafioso. Together they’re stars, but they’ll take a cameo in your story for a price. #FA #A #LGBT #OWN #PitDark

#MG #H #SPEC Marnie's last days as an 11-year-old are full of discoveries: there is a world beyond her village, her spoiled life is a lie, and Damien wants to devour her soul. Kids shouldn't have to worry about apocalypses before their 12th bday. #PitDark

Had the worst nightmare, purple tendrils chasing me in the dark., Felt like weeks, but neither of us ever got tired enough to stop. Huh, mom’s not home but there’s a demion girl on the floor. No one else in town, really. Baldur’s Gate✖️High Maintenance #FA #A #LGBT #OWN #PitDark

BLAIR WITCH 2: BOOK OF SHADOWS x SCOOBY DOO Aphrodite Falls is as idyllic a town as they come, especially to new kid 17 year old Allison Irving. But things quickly go awry in a way that leaves her feeling Aphrodite Falls may be less Hallmark & more Dateline #Pitdark #YA #MM #dc

Awake again. So I died again. How many years was I on ice this time? Doesn’t matter. If I can get her out with me, I’m done being a living legend for amusement. I can bribe the modern marvels we gotta fight for help. Baldur’s Gate✖️High Maintenance #FA #A #LGBT #OWN #PitDark

DISCO ELYSIUM x ARCANE x BABEL Jim arrives at the Institute w/ only a battered briefcase, not knowing that before classes end, he'll pack that blood-drenched briefcase to flee a nightmare of his own making. Bash warned him. Bash saw the potential. And so did I. #PitDark #A #SF #F

Am I (24M) delusional for pining after my fellow crew-member (23M) when he only has eyes for the prima donna (?? NB??) who I’m pretty sure crawled out of the interdimensional portal in the belly of the stage & gives me headaches whenever I’m nearby? #PitDark #A #F #SPEC

It was kind of that motley crew to fetch a pet for my daughter. Whilst they seem reluctant to undertake my husband’s dragon hunt, perhaps I could convince them to handle the ghost in our manor. Auntie needs to clear out. Baldur’s Gate✖️High Maintenance #FA #A #LGBT #OWN #PitDark

I, SAID THE SPARROW When a petty criminal is gutted like a fish & his secretly queer cousin accused of the murder, town secrets wash ashore & interwoven tales of hidden lovers, the infamous Fowler Gang & the suffragettes bleed together staining the River Arun red. #PitDark #A #MM – at Littlehampton, England
