The Tale of Twoshirts
Twoshirts is an orphan goblin boy that befriended a genie, and wished he could grant wishes like his friend. So when someone makes a wish in front of him, he’s compelled to fulfill it. And even though...

Honestly, I don’t remember exactly what sparked it - I picked it up either late last year or early this year when I was looking for new books. It might have been the published feed after BluePit. In any case, I think it was the combination of the humour, plus monsters that made me pick it up.

Yes, Google sucks for that. There's a couple sites for stock imagery that have options though.

(I also run #BluePit, so I verified these by reading the terms of service)

No, I've just guessed at some of the popup ones.

#BluePit is January 13th & July 13th every year, also. Plus, my alt (@zekecaliban.bsky.social) will run #SmutPit in June every year too.

Thank you~ :D

As for Bluepit, tbf to you, there *don't* seem to be any pitch events on the horizon, other than the ones already on the calendar. :'D I've tried every tag and search time I could think of, checked all the accounts that did events last year, and there just aren't that many somehow?

Darn. 😂 So much for insider info!

That said, ah, thank you! Can't believe I didn't add Bluepit here. :'D

Also! Thanks for the heads-up about Smutpit coming back! I've put it down as June 24 (same as last time around), but lmk if you'd rather have it just listed as June. :)

No links or anything yet, but some blurbs from my series that give a decent idea of the story. And the BluePit event I participated in a while ago is below.

CW: Mildly NSFW in first image, mildly NSFW flirting in the third, and a vulgar/violent threat in fourth image.

I remember seeing some color coded format that gets posted every time Bluepit comes around... @bluepit.bsky.social if you search for it on that account.

Thank you for hosting! It was a lot of fun and I've seen a lot of works and followed people I wouldn't have otherwise!

I don't have any links yet, basically everything is shared on this account already, but I'll add the posts I made a while ago for the BluePit pitches.
