It's that time of year, the time of family, fun, friends and MURDER. Jingle your bells, deck your halls and get ready for Pink Literary Society Christmas Anthology. Please interpret the theme in any way you choose! Is it murder? Is it a simple accidental theft? Or did someone watch too many true crime podcasts and start eyeing up their quiet neighbour? This Christmas short story collection is intended for new stories that we write together before the culmination of the season. Our discord will be hosting brainstorming leading up to the event launch on December 1st and will be hosting sprinting and other writing events up until the event's conclusion on December 15th. At that point, all submitted stories will be added to this anthology for the holiday! We hope to see you! And happy writing!

Calliope Sangseer did not realize the price she would have to pay to escape her pain. After becoming a vampiric countess, she was forced to marry the tyrant son of a powerful vampiric family. Her husband is returning from war and Calliope needs to escape. She hires Maeve Clovenhoof, a witch who adorns herself with antlers, to get her out of the marriage. Maeve eagerly agrees to help, all while facing the promise she made to her lost gods. It is not that simple, however, as ancient vampiric power, religious extremism, a dead society, and personal traumas are bled into adventure and love. General trigger warnings for the following; forced marriage, blood, homophobia, transphobia, religious extremism, genocide, violence, power imbalance, sex/sexual themes, kink.

Good morning, I'm Kalliope Aoidós (yes, spelled like this: Καλλιόπη Ἀοιδός... pretty impressive, right?), Technical Account Manager at a company in... well, I'm sure you don't really need my CV for this. Let's try again. Hey, I'm Kalliope Aoidós, and I've got a little problem. Okay, more like an incurable, family-heritage problem. Technically, it's genetic-something my family has been conveniently passing down for centuries. One of my great-great-great-great-grandparents thought it was totally appropriate to insult his muse, calling her a "good-for-nothing" and a "sellout." How charming, right? Too bad that muse was THE Muse after whom I'm named. Apparently, she's not exactly the warm and fuzzy type. So why on earth do I have the honor of carrying the name of the one who cursed my entire family tree? Oh, that was my grandmother's brilliant idea. In a way, they "sacrificed" me to her by giving me her name, hoping it would change her mind about the curse. Spoiler alert: It didn't. So here I am, just like hundreds of my ancestors, stuck in the same lovely swamp. I'm a Book Jumper or, as my grandmother (who has a flair for dramatic epithets) likes to call me, a βιβλιοποδητής, which basically means "walker of books." And these are my stories. Or, more accurately, my delightful misadventures. Copyright 2025 AnemoneMarino. All Rights Reserved.

It could have been simple. Childhood friends - First Crushes - Football - Laughter - Cuteness - Love. Maybe even happily ever after. But it is not simple, and Noah doesn't know why. All he knows is that Ethan suddenly ghosted him when they were thirteen. Cutting their story short at Football. Now, years later, the same game throws them back into each other's lives when Ethan suddenly transfers to Noah's school. What he doesn't know is that Ethan comes fighting an invisible battle for control that Noah can't begin to understand. He just feels frustrated that Ethan seems hell bent on keeping a solid wall between them. A wall that keeps cracking. And the question is, once it finally breaks, can they find their way back to the story they were meant to have? ___________ Updates at least every Thursday! Weekly updates paused.

Enemies in the palace. Lovers in the dark. He was supposed to chain him. He was supposed to kill him. Instead... he touches him like he's afraid to break him. 👑 CROWNLESS is a slow-burn BL fantasy where power is a game, silence is a confession, and every stare cuts deeper than any blade.
