Loud And Proud Vs. Soft And Sweet: These Are For Daniel And Diamond By @she-the-bleh. Hope You Like Them!

hello I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. The anonymity of tumblr means that I associate my idea/image of you with your icon and sometimes I look at people’s icons and I’m like ‘hmmm….what is that and why?’ 

so pls reblog this and comment in the tags the meaning behind your icon and why you chose it. this is a social experiment. do it for science pls.

Summer update

Tomorrow, I am leaving to enjoy a three week holiday, with a notebook, but without internet. I will be out of reach for a while, but do keep sending me messages and requests! Everything I have received so far has made me very happy, and I do believe it will continue that way :D. When I get back, I’ll start with the first in line. Have a great summer, everybody!

Princesses and feminists, these are for Cassandra and Helen by @futureauthor-mabye. I hope you like them! Requests for OC aesthetics are open.

I don’t know either of these cities, but let’s help out a fellow writer!

Heyooo!

If anyone here lives in Bangkok or Budapest, I’ve got short stories set in those cities but have never been to either and would love some outside wisdom! I’ve done lots of research, but assume I’m still making mistakes and want to get them shiny and factually correct before I start trying to publish.

I was unable to consult outside resources while the stories were still being handed in for workshop, but as they are both done their trips through academia, I’d love to make sure I’m getting all the details right.

1. Barefoot

Set in Bangkok

Protagonist is from Bangkok

Logline: A plan to steal a bag goes horribly wrong for two young brothers.

5763 words // 21 double spaced pages

POV: 1st person, present tense

Content warning: Violence/death (somewhat graphic), suicidal ideation (mild)

2. Dramatis Personae

Set in Budapest

Protagonist is a Canadian tourist

If you have travelled to Budapest but not lived there, that would still be helpful

Logline: An actress ends up stranded in a foreign country after she’s dumped and pick-pocketed while backpacking with her boyfriend.

6429 words // 25 double spaced pages

POV: 2nd person, present tense

Content warning: violence (mild), sexual assault (non-graphic, mentioned only briefly, happened before the story), strong language

Message me (or DM me on twitter @shaelinbishop if you prefer) if you have intimate knowledge of one of these cities and are willing to help a gal out! Both stories have been heavily revised and critiqued already, so I am not looking for proofreading, line editing, or content editing–only a fact check on setting. I’ll specifically mark places in the documents where I have questions or details I’m unsure of, but am open to corrections on any aspect. This should only require one read through and no longer than an hour (if that) so please don’t feel like you need to spend a lot of time on this or anything.

Also, please let me know if you have anymore questions about content warnings in the stories. I can block out sections for you if you like. 

I would be happy to offer a line edit + critique on a chapter or short story in exchange! 

Thank you guys so much!

Vane probably takes it a bit too far. He doesn’t dress up too much, just a long coat and a hat that paints a nice shadow over his face. He brings a real knife, though, because ‘everyone can see it when they are plastic, and nobody’s gonna be scared of that‘. Jack would appear as a clever pun or something generally witty. He’d, maybe, wear a neat suit, with clean white cuffs, a tie and a suitcase full of paperwork. We are all scared of mediocrity, aren’t we? He ends up having to explain his costume for the entire evening. Anne would do something classic. She comes as a witch, looking a little more elegant in a dress than any of them had expected (including herself). She threatens to bewitch people that get too close, and with her glower, nobody takes the risk.

So in a modern Black Sails au what would our favorite pirates and friends dress up as?

Sophia Loren / Unknown / @ ojibwa / Adélia Prado / Unmade Bed by Sally Strand / Paul Auster / Unknown / Lucille Clifton / Unknown Artist / Kaveh Akbar / Unknown Artist / Marguerite Duras / Claude Monet

This is fun, because I always write stories with a lot of POV's. So:

Elementary: Tungsten, Silver, Phosphore, Tin and Zinc.

Waterways: Alba, Paco, Mikel, Josephe, Kalliope and Imanol.
