Arranged Marriage —

A fantasy book where to ensure a peace treaty between two enemy peoples, the young-ish transmasc leader and the older leader who just became king after his evil father died form an arranged marriage.

(Lou Character will be the older king whose evil father just died)

In Another Life —

On his thirtieth birthday, a newly cracked trans man down on his luck wishes his life was different and ends up reliving his birthday in different realities where certain things changed.

(Lou Character will be one of the love interests in the story)

Found Superfamily —

A ragtag group of supernatural & fantastical beings become a superhero/vigilante group and, you guessed it, form a found family. It will be in the same universe as All's Fair (probably after that book I'm not sure)

Lou Character will be the leader (or at least one of them)

Queer Actors —

Follows the forbidden love story between two of classic Hollywood's leading men.

Lou Character of course will be one of them

Queer Singers —

Follows the decades long tumultuous on and off secret relationship between two singers/musicians who were in the same band together

Lou is of course one of them

Love And Games Series —

Set in the same series as Home Team (aka the baseball book) Lou Character will either be a coach or a newly retired athlete and either in hockey or American football

So idk what this is but here's how I sorta see the dynamic between Lux (the hero whose faceclaim is manny jacinto) and Blake (the villain whose faceclaim is françois arnaud) at certain points in the book.

who should taylor zakhar perez be a faceclaim for

pedro in something old and new

lux in all's fair

Voting ended onJul 28

Pedro:

Gay cowboy who is loyal to his family, very charming, trauma galore, and uses fun and humor to mask the pain

Lux:

Gay hero who has the weight of the world on him. Is a broody nerd with a heart of gold and a secret dark side only the villain sees
