What’s your original story about?
*deeeeeep breaths in* *downloading fake confidence* *minor freak out*
Hi you're amazing I love you I can't do this without sweating I hope that's ok
*aaaand exhale*
My story takes place in a land where magic is illegal, where Rayna Greenbarrow, the daughter of a prominent religious and political figure, is hiding her ability to see ghosts. Until! She discovers that one of her ghostly friends is *not* dead, but is actually the living spirit of someone under an enchantment, holding the memory of a terrible secret that could bring down the monarchy. And so Rayna and her ragtag group of misfit friends must risk everything to steal a magic talisman and bring together a ritual to break the enchantment if her friend is to be saved -- and the truth finally revealed.
It's a gunpowder fantasy with all the weird aesthetic/tropey things I love the most. Ghosts and magic! A MacGuffin! Cults and brainwashing! Near-death experiences! Kissing! Political scheming! Thinly-veiled allusions to religious and spiritual trauma! Disguises! A big fancy masquerade ball!
(The prologue is here if you want a taste.)

Just read your prologue, and it was awesome! I’ve also got original stories kicking around, though nothing complete to the editing phase. But that brings me to my question: do you have playlists or specific songs you associate with the characters in your novel? If so, which ones?
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad you liked it! It's taken me years just to get to this point (I started it back in 2018) - don't give up! ❤️
And because I started writing it back in 2018, I have literal hours worth of inspo playlists lol. Some are more for the aesthetic/vibe, some help get me into my characters' brains, some I feel like embody certain dynamics between characters, some that carry little bits of truth the story carries -- I don't know what all to share here! 😅 I'll just share some of my most played. This is probably way more than you're asking for.
Aesthetic songs: Soldier, Poet, King (The Oh Hellos), Bottom of the River (Delta Rae), Venus In Furs (The Velvet Underground), Danse Macabre (The Oh Hellos)
Rayna Greenbarrow: Can You Feel the Sun (MISSIO), Atlas: Nine (Sleeping At Last), Quiet (MILCK), Bridges (Johnnyswim), I Don't Belong To You (MILCK), This Is Me (Keala Settle)
Songs for my lovers: Closer (Johnnyswim), Make This Go On Forever (Snow Patrol), Make Me Feel (Janelle Monae), Beautiful Trauma (P!nk), Trouble I'm In (Twinbed), Shut Up And Dance With Me (Fun Guns)
Songs that make me go YES THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT: Emphasis (Sleeping At Last), The Truth Is A Cave (The Oh Hellos), Heaven's Got A Back Door (Dead Sara)

Yes please:
Kanej or Wesper, and I’m a big fan of the characters as parents or hurt/comfort.
No thank you:
Absolute no go on death tropes, not a fan of darklina at all when it comes to ships
