4th House:

Happiness and comfort within the relationship. Private life of the couple. The “home” of the relationship.

Lilith/Ascendant aspects facts

Garner intense reactions from people, and tend to enjoy this too. I think of lilith as a combination of Uranus and Pluto

Gets sexual attention very easily, (conjunct, trine, sextile) will enjoy this, (square, opposition) will not

Probably enjoy situations that make other uncomfortable, will like to shock others

People will sometimes be very offputting to them

Very easily gives off bitchy vibes, especially the trine and conjunction

The square is said to have the most intense sex appeal as the tension of the aspect

The opposition will probably be a late bloomer

Due to the strong reactions they garner from people people with prominent liliths will probably frequently experience people being mean to them for no reason, especially with the conjunction and opposition

Probably has unusual styles and hair colors (Billie eilish comes to mind)

Probably has a very bad girl reputation

No matter how subtle they try to be, people will always get sexual vibes from them

Was probably bullied as a child

Women with this aspect tend to be hated by other women alot

The opposition and square will be the most difficult to handle as this indicates major self esteem issues

May feel very rejected for how they Express themselves, or just feel rejected for how they are in general

Indicator of someone who fights for womens rights

Conjunction and trines will be early bloomers

Will make someone either very tall or short

Probably has a very sexually appealing body

Appears confident usually despite lilith aspects being an indicator of self esteem Issues when it comes to looks

As they become older they will become much more confident and will probably begin to stop caring what they look like

Attracts people like a moth to a flame

Water and earth risings with lilith aspects are said to be especially irresistible but also extremely difficult

Probably someone that’s talked about alot

Black moon lilith touching ascendant: sexy yet bitchy. Will always feel they rub others the wrong way

Asteroid lilith touching ascendant: sexy yet unattainable, indicator of self esteem issues. Easily gets hated and scrutinized

Dark mooj lilith touching ascendant: deeply dark and intimately. Probably scares others regularly. Delights in the uncomfortable

Horribly aspected venus culture

(negative aspects to Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus and Lilith)

- being delusional or people being delusional about you (went into spiritual psychosis once in an unrequieted love situation, also had a guy convinced his love for me was requieted after I explicitly told him I didnt like him *twice* and then having him tell me "How do you know you wont like me in a few years?")

- either not giving a fuck at all or being completely insanely jelaous

- staying single for a while and pretending youre 'focusing on yourself' but really youre just scared of getting hurt

They should invent a method of asking for reassurance that nobody secretly hates you that doesn't make people secretly hate you.

this reply deserves to be here.

the insane experience of missing a fictional character . like you can always go back and reread the book , replay the game , rewatch the show or movie , you can always go back & see them , but you can never experience them & their story for the first time again . its absurd to miss them because they'll always be there , but you'll miss when there were still new things for them to say .

for a small time they were real & growing and changing and you hung onto every new word, but now all they can do is repeat the same story forever&ever & they're not real anymore because you know everything they're going to do. & you miss them. its fucked man...

in this way fanworks are like necromancy

As a writer, I spend 90% of my time googling synonyms or searching for words I know but have incidentally forgotten right in the moment that I need it for once.

mityenka

when you grew up as a lonely uncool girl it will never stop haunting you by the way. you will meet a cool person at a bar or the train station or at a friend's party and you can wear your most stylish outfit and striking eye makeup and you will swear that they can see through all of the facade and see the lonely terribly insecure teenage girl you used to be who desperately wanted to connect and you will swear that they know that there is like an insurmountable gap between you. this will happen forever

jewfrogs

this is so mean but sometimes i see published writing and suddenly no longer feel insecure about my own writing ability. like well okay that got published so im guessing i dont have much to worry about

I have a friend who is an editor, and gets submissions of mostly poetry and short stories.

I have had a glimpse into her slush pile, and let me tell you, the contents were unbelievable and immediately disabused me of the notion that reading through submissions is in any way glamorous. People have the nerve to submit unhinged paranoid ramblings, fetish porn, and a seemingly endless supply of poems about masturbation.

I no longer feel like my fiction is somehow an imposition on the people who read it. It may be forgettable, but at least it isn't typeset to look like sperm.

Do not be afraid to submit your work. Your competition is not only worse than you think, it's worse than you ever imagined.

silverhand

Do these three things to get to the top of the slush pile:

The place has a style sheet. Use it. They say they want your MS in 16.5 point Papyrus italic with 0.8 inch margins all around, guess what you're doing before you send it off? Save As, reformat, send it. In the absence of a specific guide: Courier 12 pt (Times New Roman if you must), double spaced, align left, tab 0.5 at each new paragraph.

Check the word count. Don't submit novellas to 2500 word short story venues. BTW, you format the MS in that old style above because the question isn't literal words. Courier 12pt double spaced gives you 250 words per page for typesetting purposes. 2500 words is 10 ms pages, 5000 is 20 pages, etc.

Don't send your romance to Analog or your war story to Harlequin. If it's a cross-genre story, be sure there's enough of what the publication is focused on to interest them, but breaking through is hard if that's not something they usually do.

That's basically what every single editors' panel at every con I've ever been to has boiled down to. And invariably, someone tries to get up and argue with them, not realizing it's not a discussion.

Bonus tip: Don't be in any way cute in your cover letter. Just the facts/Luke Skywalker's message to Jabba the Hut in ROTJ.

Enclosed/attached is my story <Title> for your publication <Magazine>. It is x (rounded to the nearest 500) words. I can be reached at <email> (that you check regularly and isn't likely to dump things into spam) and <phone>.

(If submitting a hard copy: The manuscript is disposable. A SASE is enclosed for your response./A SASE is included for return of the manuscript and your response.)

Thank you for your consideration.

If submitting a novella length piece or greater, a brief and complete summary is appropriate.

In the midst of an interstellar revolt against an evil galactic Empire, vital weapon plans fall into the hands of a farm boy on the edges of the galaxy. With the help of an aging warrior from the Old Republic, and a smuggler with a dark past and his imposing alien copilot, the four set out to deliver them to the rebel forces but are instead flung into a rescue mission to save the beautiful princess who stole the plans as worlds are destroyed by the might of the Empire's weapon, the Death Star.

Captured by the Death Star on route to deliver the plans, they manage to escape the base with the princess, the old warrior sacrificing himself to make this possible. As the Death Star approaches the rebel base, they use the captured plans to stage a desperate final stand. In a fierce space battle of single-pilot ships over the surface of the moon-sized weapon, the farm boy manages to make the critical shot with an unexpected assist from the smuggler, destroying it.

Never under any circumstance put a cliffhanger into a query letter summary. There is no faster way to get the entire MS binned than doing that.

Happy writing.

PS "Top of the slush pile" means into the top 25% of manuscripts received. Three quarters of the submissions don't take the trouble to do even those three basic steps.

Now, that still means 25/100 submissions or 250/1000 submissions, but it still improves your odds and forms the basis for starting a relationship with the publisher for the next piece you send them.

PPS This is obviously about prose. Poetry certainly has its own submission rules, and I know none of them. If you're writing poetry, find out what they are.
