Lucifer: Just take MC to their classes.

Asmodeus: No, I refuse!

Lucifer: You've done this before, now go.

Asmodeus: This time is different! I'm going to get warts!

MC *a frog*: Excuse you, I am a frog. Toads cause warts.

Heyo! I recently stumbled across your writeblr and your WIPs all sound super interesting!!

This is super random, but your mash-up pitch for Firekeepers just reminded me that The Search For WondLa even existed, and that I used to really like that book. Makes me sad that I think I donated my copy. That book was cool as hell.

Anyways, I'm super interested in a lot of your WIPs, and your mash-up pitches are really good too!! (I struggle comparing my own writing to things, so I don't have any for my books. I always worry that it's not a good enough comparison or it sounds too self-gradizing, even tho I know it's not.)

~Morrigan 🗡 (@memento-morri-writes)

Hi!!! Thank you so much, I'm glad you like them!!!

WondLa was one of my favorite series bridging middle and high school, and I'm always happy to remind people it exists!! The illustrations in there were one of the reasons I started getting more serious about art, and man, I don't know if you ever used the ebook version, but it had a whole soundscape!! Of the aliens and frogs and forests!! It blew my entire mind as a kid, and still kind of does to this day <3

And no lie, I struggle with blend pitches a lot. I've probably changed the ones on my pinned post six times since I made it. A nice shortcut I've kind of found is figuring out the major inspirations (e.g. with the Millennium Saga, Red Rising opened my eyes to what someone could do with both description and action, voice-wise; A:tLA inspired me a lot with the base of the elemental magic system the MCs use, and influenced a lot of the message/tone I'm aiming for; and WondLa has some particularly similar reveals that get into TMS spoiler territory, and also inspired me to get more Funky with my creatures and peoples all around <3)

If you want to know more about Firebreathers and the rest of the series, I'll be reblogging the intros sometime today!! I just recently finished the draft for the second book, and I'll be starting the third sometime in the next month or so :D
