      DOS Ch-273

      DOS Ch-273 Cover
      by Fable Weaver The mid-morning sun spilled across the semi-open veranda of Hawthorne Keep, tinting the world in warm gold. It was rare to get such good sunlight in the U.K. during this time of the year, so I decided to have this meeting outdoors. Howard Stringer sat opposite me at the polished wooden table, his half-finished iced tea beading with condensation. His expression was calm, but his tone was blunt when he finally gave me his opinion. “The Japanese would never let you own the company,” he said…

      DOS Ch-301 Cover
      by Fable Weaver “Hey, Olive!” I called out, stepping out of the pool, dripping wet and wearing nothing but a pair of short swimming trunks that barely hid my modesty. The costume department had given me two options: long board shorts that hung past my knees, or something on the shorter side. I’d gone with the latter. If I were going to do fan service, I might as well commit to it properly. “You left your glass slipper at the party the other night,” I said, toweling myself off slowly. “Yeah, and I got…

      DOS Ch-291 Cover
      by Fable Weaver Austin was practically glued to his computer screen, refreshing the page of his new favorite browser, Chrome, with the fervor of someone trying to summon a miracle. For the past few days, he had been doing this every few hours, hoping that somehow, somewhere, a stray ticket might appear. “Leave it,” Marissa said from beside him, lounging on the couch with her phone in hand. “It’s no use. You just weren’t lucky enough to get the seats. Accept it.” Austin shot her a glare sharp enough to…

      by Fable Weaver NovaKnight: Holy fucking shit! Troy doesn’t give a damn anymore, does he? is burning hot. For the guts required to launch it when he did, hats off to the man. 24k Magic and Starboy are some of the best tracks I’ve heard in years. SereneDreamer: I’m amazed that he launched it so quickly after the backlash, as if he knew it was bound to happen sooner or later. Whatever the case, this is Troy’s best album to date. To all the haters who swore he peaked with , where are you now? SimplestGuy: The…

      DOS Ch-257 Cover
      by Fable Weaver “So this is your masterpiece?” Dad asked the moment I reached him, his eyes still gleaming with the afterglow of the screening. “You tell me,” I replied with a shrug, trying to sound casual. “My performance is only as good as the audience thinks.” Before Dad could reply, Mum pulled me into a tight hug, practically squeezing the breath out of me. Her voice was filled with emotion as she said, “It was simply out of this world, son. I haven’t seen this level of performance, especially in…

      by Fable Weaver May 2010, Los Angeles, CA, USA I held the phone close to my ear as the man on the other side explained how things stood. “We’ve finished pre-production on , and we’ll begin shooting next week,” Tobias said, his tone almost clinical. “Lily Collins has been cast in the lead role, opposite Henry Cavill as the prince, with Charlize Theron playing the evil stepmother. We’ve even cast seven real life dwarf actors as the dwarves. Once filming begins, , , , and will follow shortly after, in that…

      by Fable Weaver  ~All those days chasing down a daydream All those years living in a blur All that time, never truly seeing Things the way they were~ I looked directly into the eyes of the most beautiful girl I had ever seen and continued singing, pouring my heart, soul, and every part of myself into the notes. ~Now she's here, shining in the starlight Now she's here, suddenly I know If she's here, it's crystal clear I'm where I'm meant to go~ When I reached the next verse, I gently took…

      by Fable Weaver A reporter offered a mic to Emily. “Emma Stone, congratulations on . It is one of the biggest movies of the year, grossing nearly $800 million.” “Thank you,” Emily nodded graciously. “If you’ve been keeping up with the news, you’d know about the story that broke out regarding Harvey Weinstein, which has started a new conversation about workplace harassment in showbiz. Did you ever have to face any kind of harassment during your time in Hollywood?” the reporter asked. Emily…

      DOS Ch-286 Cover
      by Fable Weaver “Congratulations on your win tonight, Troy.” “Thank you,” I said blandly, already losing count of how many times I’d heard that line over the last few hours. As much as I wanted to go home, collapse on my bed, and sleep for an entire day, appearances had to be maintained, or so I’d been told repeatedly by my publicist. Though I barely listen to him in most matters, this time I did. “What are your plans for the future? Can I interest you with a script I have ready? You seem perfect…

      by Fable Weaver Scarlett nervously played with the hem of her dress as the car sped through the quiet neighborhood toward her mother’s home. The morning sunlight filtered through the window, highlighting the tension in her jaw. “Will you stop that already?” I gently pulled her hand toward me and interlaced her fingers with mine. “It’s not like I haven’t met your family. I love them, they love me, so what’s the problem?” “You haven’t met all of them,” she retorted. “Believe me, it’s gonna be…
