Okay so you know how we had a Neverland Renaissance? I want a Camelot Renaissance. Or maybe AU.
Like… Camelot, but without Emma being the Dark One. They’re not there to save her, they’re there to find Merlin and figure out how to break the dagger’s power and all of that–or whatever other reason you want to think of. Or Emma is the Dark One and we just get more missing scenes, or maybe things play out differently. Maybe the flame thing just works.
And just… more balls. More courtly scenes. Emma trying to learn how to behave at court. Killian struggling to suppress his anti-royalty pirate side. Lancelot and Guinevere getting together. Merlin coaching Emma in magic. More bromance adventures. David getting to dance with his daughter. Regina and Snow helping Emma fit in at court. Killian and/or David giving Henry advice about girls.
Various people sneaking away from various balls for uhm, reasons.
No complicated rules or deadlines, just… anyone who wants to write or make a thing, do it. Who’s in? Anyone?
hey, wanna read my new book the fever for free? and maybe help get me published in the process? i’m calling in every favor here. please help me out! if my fic or crappy sense of humor has ever entertained you…do this for me?
i wrote a novel with my writing/life partner jess (@jandco on twitter, go say hi, it’ll confuse her), and it was summarily rejected over 20 times; the few who bothered to respond all told us that the manuscript was great and don’t change a thing, it’s just that it won’t sell. we’re not #on trend, apparently.
hey, let’s prove them wrong!
it won’t cost you anything except whatever time it takes you to read an 83k word book. this particular website where you can read the fever occasionally offers publishing deals to the manuscripts posted there, if a lot of people read the entire thing (their site tracks that!) and leave good ratings/comments. you guys do this for me with my fanfiction all the time, so….????? would you be willing to go an extra step?
how to help me (no money required!):
go here toregister on swoon reads (it’s a great site, there are tons of unpublished books on there that you can read for free!). get your email verification, then go read (they even have an app so you can read right on your phone):
Jack Decker was exactly what Bex had been warned about by her mother. This was how a girl ended up in the fiery pits of the corners of hell reserved for perverts and carnal heathens, so she’d been told. It suddenly didn’t seem like such a bad place to be, if it was Jack Decker who led her there.
Gossip. Dirty dancing. Prejudice. Milkshakes spiked with whiskey.
It’s 1961 and no one knows it just yet, but a family from California is about to throw the entire town of Settler’s Mill into upheaval. The fierce and spirited Bex Wakefield will face the biggest fight of her life when the town turns on Jack Decker, an up-and-coming boxer. As for Jack, he’ll never see the knockout coming when Bex steps into his life.
What’s a girl to do when people would rather believe the lurid tales flying around town than the truth?
then leave an honest review when you’re done, please! apparently you can comment as you go, so if you wanna live comment, i mean. i won’t hate it. in fact, i freaking love that. also feel free to message me as you read, some people have been doing that the last couple of days and it’s been one of the best experiences of my life.
please, spread this to anyone you know who likes charming books with fun characters. or anyone who likes graphic descriptions of boxers all bloodied up and bulging. or anyone who likes girls in skirts threatening to shank men who do horrible things. or just if you like reading about two idiots falling in love.
and then come tell me what you thought of my book! i hope you guys love jack & bex, and also lulu and georgie. and vivi. and and and yeah, just go read, i’m begging of you.
the book does contain some sensitive topics, so if you’re worried about that, message me and i will gladly tell you what to expect. if you choose not to read, i won’t be offended. but maybe consider helping me spread the word?
Hey fandom! Let’s get Kristen published!!!!
So excited to read this! @initiala and @bleebug have been taunting me with their rave reviews.
