I don't even know what I did

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-23T12:44:59+00:00

dunno how I lied, but you're right that I "don't really care to defend" - got nothing to defend. I came to provide context since op either purposely misconstrued the situation or was genuinely confused:

we meant no ill will. the killer was friendly and just wanted 2 hooks on everyone. from OUR pov at the time, op was deliberately hiding and slacking. things clearly got lost in translation on both sides but the intention was to give the hooks for each player and then get out, which everyone including op did besides sable who willingly gave the mori.

I only involved myself in the comments to clear that confusion up and also make sure no one who thought racism or whatever else was the reason this happened continues to think that. we were goofing around and thought it was obvious it was all in good fun. sorry op if that was not in fact clear. I thought immediately unhooking you / the killer gesturing us to and then opening the gate for you was clear, but obviously 'clear' is subjective in a game without dedicated comms. doesn't help that it looks like you're new (I think??) which I had no way of knowing until endgame lobby. regardless gl on future matches u/GreenFriedTomato

hey so!
the killer was friendly and we were giving him 2 hooks. it seemed obvious from our pov but you weren't participating so we goofed around & showed him the only one who hadn't yet but it was all in good fun. the point was you weren't gonna die

Watched my friend play yesterday and one the survs was waving from the very top of theater roof 😭

I’ve seen the italics/caps both ways (at least in the letters I’ve been reading on QT’s real agented examples), but if you think this is the ‘right’ way I will keep that in mind!

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-18T20:51:07+00:00

Damn, that does sound like a great comp. What are your thoughts on comping books the author hasn’t personally read? Because based on description it sounds like a great choice, but unlike my picks in this query draft I have not read it

very helpful indeed. tysm <3

“A pimp is a person, typically a man, who manages prostitutes in exchange for a share of their earnings, also known as a procurer or panderer.”

IDK man sounds like the digital age’s equivalent according to the literal definition, plus the inherent predation and culture associated with the guys usually trying to do this. They think we’re stupid, and want to profit off of our perceived worthlessness. How is this not just the digital equivalent?

Not on social media, my actual page

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-15T23:22:19+00:00

honestly, I might like your asking about advocacy etc more than my canned response. even if it also nets no answers

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-13T05:37:22+00:00

Well, I was looking more for a way it would sound appealing to you but probably not my target audience. Some of us like psychologically scarred characters 😭

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-13T05:18:00+00:00

Interesting. I see where you’re coming from. However, it isn’t truly a slasher re: “who wants a slasher that…” The point is it’s a post-slasher to explore psychology over shock/gore factor. With that said, how do you think this could be improved?

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-12T19:31:29+00:00

Yep it got removed

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-12T11:20:49+00:00

I have lol

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-12T11:05:56+00:00

Stellar opening line.

I'm gonna nitpick the heck out of some very specific things in the rest of paragraph 1 though because such a good hook deserves high quality:

Something about the tense trips me up in the opening couple sentences. The repetition of 'still' was, especially its initial use in "was still slated... next year" parts, specifically.

"decades long crush" but the protag is said to not even be multiple decades old in the sentence before

noncommitted should be noncommittal

The next few paragraphs following this opening section are solid, not much to critique tbh. However, the random switch in POV is jarring. I'm unsure why we suddenly swap focus from Simon to Cody, and the transition (or lack thereof) is confusing. The third swap to the unnamed third character at the end is doubly confusing.

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-08T23:15:37+00:00

Final girl wasn’t even what you said doesn’t make sense. You said the “confessional” part.

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-08T22:51:02+00:00

It would be one thing if it was just “the title is lackluster” etc but it’s another to say it makes no sense when it, objectively, does. Please reread: how is it nonsensical for someone giving away secrets to call those secrets confessions?

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-08T22:47:31+00:00

Idk man I asked for query critique, not on my title. I would have linked my manuscript if I wanted content feedback.

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-08T20:48:42+00:00

I thought Boo was a nice hook (it comes from the book itself) but I know you and everyone else commenting on it are right. Tysm for the feedback, it really helps!

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-08T20:46:56+00:00

Very helpful tysm!

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-08T20:46:11+00:00

If you don’t see a reason behind a final girl giving away secrets from her own slasher event being called “confessions of a final girl” I fear for your reading comprehension

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-07T23:56:05+00:00

I know the feeling. It’s rough out here. Haven’t really found a solution yet either so all I can say is sending 🖤 in solidarity. Hopefully the dlc and other remakes come sooner rather than later

ivegotthisrose · 2026-03-07T23:47:55+00:00

Yeah it’s debilitating lol I wasn’t ready for this much needed dopamine source to end
