Anyway if this post reaches 30000 notes I'll sit down and professionally film a Goncharov movie scene you can send to people who claim it's not real. This is completely serious, I've made movies before and I'm willing to do it for the memes.

Grey Blinds and Sunflowers: Draft 3 Beta Call

Hey folks! I’m proud to announce that I am putting Grey Blinds and Sunflowers out for its third round of beta reading!

Basics

Word count: 85k (estimated) | WIP Introduction | Playlist | Genre(s): crime fic, dystopian, new adult, sci fi, fantasy

Trigger warnings: homophobia/transphobia, minor ableism hints, systemic violence/injustice/antagonism to one group of people, unjust imprisonment, violence (guns, fist fights, bomb mentions, knives), brainwashing/hypnotism, depiction of sensory overload, slightly creepy Eldritch entities, terrorism mentions, scarring, mild excess of alcohol mention, mild sexual themes (all consensual), references to death, funerals and grief (none explicitly depicted)

Expectations

The document will go out on the 7th of August. The deadline for reading would be the 31st of October.

If you have the spoons to comment as you read, I’d love that so much! But there will be a feedback form afterwards

I need to know if this is good enough to send to query. I’m hoping that the last two rounds caught my major structural issues, but the number of sideplots may still be a problem. I’m looking for people willing to pick me up on grammar, sentence structure, and the nitty gritty of how I’m writing, as well as people to check over the overall plot!

If you feel like volunteering and want something to read over the latter part of summer, apply here!

Applications open until the 20th of August

Hello tumblr, im doing something of a mini survey so i have two questions:

1. Did you know before reading this that there was mercury present in thermometer fluid

2. Regardless of your previous answer would you say this was common knowledge

WIP INTRO - HE CALLED ME FINCH

genre | canadian historical fiction, lgbtq+ historical fiction, new adult/adult romance, tragedy

status | drafting (2021 nanowrimo project #1)

I was Finley Ivanov to Andrew Fletcher for one day and four hours.

After that I was just Finch. Always Finch.

synopsis |

To Finch as a boy, the future is simple. The future is enormous and full of possibility as long as he's facing it with his best friend by his side.

To the young man he becomes, the future is transient and shifting.

To the man going to war, the future isn't a guarantee.

Finch's reflections on his life in 1930s Canada begin as war is nothing but a shadow on the horizon, and his story navigates through adolescence toward the adventure of flight school, leading up to the May 1943 Operation Chastise (or the Dambusters Raid) overseas.

He Called Me Finch is a posterior narrative spanning more than a decade as together Andrew and Finch grow up from boys into men, go to war, and deal with the fundamental ways they have changed each other forever.

characters |

Narrator — Finley "Finch" Ivanov: quiet, introspective, analytical.

Andrew Fletcher: best friend to finch, natural leader, attracts trouble, fearless, charismatic.

Petra Ivanov: sister to finch and friend to andrew, inquisitive and indignant, fiesty.

quote:

There are a hundred ways to talk about Andrew. I don’t really know how to talk about him, though. I never had to explain Andrew to anyone, or tell anyone what happened, because I didn’t have any stories about him that I wasn’t in, and everyone who knew us knew that truth plain and simple. We told the stories as they sprawled out in front of us, tripping over the edges as we tried to figure out how they would end.

It never felt like the story would end, though. We were always just catching up. Running around the next corner to see where it would go next. With Andrew, it never seemed like the story could go anywhere I didn’t like.

I thought so all the way until I was watching the tail end of a smoke trail blocking out the stars.

Aesthetics | a canola field unfurling as far as you can see, the relief of a familiar smile, warm wheat scented breeze, fury burning in your veins, the growl a motor louder than you can think, kisses in the dark, wind rattling windowpanes, the sharp sting of gasoline, snow drifting aimlessly to catch in your hair and eyelashes, the warmth of being known

Themes | childhood best friends to lovers, oblivious requited pining, coming of age, processing grief, growing up together
