Oh My, Thank You So Much!! This Drawing Is Beautiful. You Have Captured Him So Well, He Looks Exactly

Last Sentence Tag Rules: Post the last sentence you wrote and then tag as many people as there are words.

Thanks so much for tagging me, @concealeddarkness13! From Elementary: “ 'If you promise not to yell, I'll let go of your throat, and we can have a talk.' “

Little bit of a cliche, but at least there is a cliffhanger to the ending of part 1!

That quite a long sentence, so I’ll just tag some people: @anightravensecho, @dreamsofbooksandmonsters, @ladyliliana, @andtheotherstars, @mj-writes, @lethalblizzard, @whatdoyoumeantheresonly3episodes, @knightedwriter, @panticwritten. No pressure, though!

A soft aesthetic for the soft Scarlette Fraiser, by @funwithadorabletasticmurder.I hope you like it! Requests for OC moodboards are open. 

The first story has been written! It is about a forest and a pair of black riding boots. On top of that, let me reveal one more character:  Elliot, the ‘awkward apprentice’, has a talent for luring memories from objects. He has the gentleness and the patience that is required for so delicate a task. But sometimes Gabri worries about him. So many of these treasured objects come with memories of grieve, of lost lovers or lost friends or lost parents. And experiencing all that sadness and anger, even if it is secondhand? She is just not sure if he will have the stomach for it. 

So…  I am thinking of creating a podcast. It would kind of be like the Magnus Archives, in the sense that every episode is its own small story (and maybe connected to a larger frame?).  Only instead of horror, it’s urban fantasy, loosely inspired by Scottish mythology.  And instead of an Archivist, it is told by Gabri, a women in her early thirties running a small antique store. She uses magic to pull the memories from objects; memories she assembles, smooths out and collects.  Prepare for a lot of faeries, magic lore, awkward apprentices, extravagant antique-sellers, apparitions, foggy autumn feelings and summonings.  Would this be something you people would listen to? 

Yes! Thanks! I love these children. Well, the protagonist, Tungsten, he’s the sweetest guy. He has just joined this band of traveling magicians and artists (the Elements), and he’s trying so hard to fit in. His biggest wish is quite simple: he wants to belong somewhere. But the antagonist, Espen, has his eyes set on the Elements. I don’t want to spoil how and why, yet! Espen isn’t brutal, but the end surely justefies the means to him. And he really believes in this end. By threatening the Elements, he forces Tungsten to help him spy on the very people Tungsten would love to call his friends. Poor Tungsten is going to feel pretty guilty for a while.    

does anyone want to come tell me about their wip or their ocs? im procrastinating hard here lads

small monetary things you can do for palestine 🇵🇸

itchio currently has a bundle of 140+ games for only $10, and all proceeds benefit medical aid for palestine

click a button to send money to help palestine via ad revenue (free!)

ask for a commission from these artists, who are donating the funds to palestinian aid charities. the thread also has lots of places to donate.

other artists or creatives who are commissioning - here, here, here, here, and here

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!

Would you make an aeshetic for a preexisting character or an RP muse?

If the internet is informing me right, an RP muse is a original character too, only used for RP instead of writing a novel? Because in that case, sure, hit me up! (And if it’s something else, please do explain, I like to learn). I don’t mind making a moodboard for an existing character either, but my main plan is to work for OC’s by writers (or drawers, painters, LARP’ers, anyone who would like it). As I am not busy yet, though, you could send me existing characters too!
