Howdy everyone! It's Maggie again, your spideriest writeriest nerd dork, back on a quest for CPs. After going over The Casual Ties of War three dozen times over the last year, I'd still like to get another few sets of eyes on it. Plus I have a newer project, a screenplay by the title After The End (There Is No End), which I'd like to get some input on.
The description of each project is below, so if you're at all interested in trading manuscripts, let me know! Your project doesn't have to be a stage or screenplay, either--if you have a novel or a collection of poems or short stories you'd like a critique partner for, I'm down for that too.
If you'd like to get in touch after reading the blurbs below, send me an email at TheSpiderWriter@gmail.com with a summary of the work you'd like critique on, and we can talk shop. I hope to hear from you soon!
The Casual Ties of War: A ~13k dramedy of errors about love, duty, and the costs of war.
Delial does not fall in love with her superiors! ... Except maybe just this once. But Soro is so sweet and kind, and better with a blade than anyone Delial's ever met! And, technically she's not Delial's superior, just a superior. She's not even older than Delilal, she's younger by two years and then some. So it's not as bad as when her sister or best friend do it.
... Unless Delial mistook Soro for someone she's not, and Soro lied about who she really is in order to feel like she was someone's equal for once. I mean, that could be so dangerous! Especially if Delial wasn't who Soro thought, either--and if the mission Delial's on is meant to culminate in the death of someone that Soro's pretending she isn't....
In the long-running war between Terra and Forma, tundra kingdoms of the frozen north, there's a lot that's been lost, but these young women will soon find out that even in a time of perpetual war, in a place of perpetual frost, there's a lot still left to lose.
After The End (There Is No End): A ~21k urban fantasy about reincarnation, intertwined fates, and promises long since broken.
When a struggling voice actor shows up at new president-elect Noel Estavez's celebratory party, famous screenwriter Cassandra Spell recognizes him instantly as her brother from a past life. The one that killed himself before they saw their mission through to the end.
That mission? To kill the White Witch, the enchantress that stole them from the heavens and placed them in human bodies, now going by the name Noel Estavez.
Constellations-made-flesh Cassandra and Barnabas fall back into step as they track down Andrew and Celeste, the former Andromeda and Cetus constellations, and resume their efforts to destroy the White Witch and her new Starchildren before they manage to overrun the world.
But the lies Cassandra's been telling to protect her siblings-cum-lovers (and her habit of tipping the bottle) have to catch up with her sometime. Eventually their war can't be fought in the dark any longer. In time, all stars must die.
The question is, can they take the Witch with them? Or will they be extinguished before their timer runs down?
