      DOS Ch-242

      DOS Ch-242 Cover
      by Fable Weaver “Easy, boy,” I called out to the horse standing in front of me. Just like me and Zoe, the horse was fitted with motion-sensing balls all over its body, allowing the VFX team to use its real movements as the basis for the animated creature they would later create. “Pale is female,” Zoe corrected in her accented voice. The team had decided that the native Na’vi people would speak in an accent distinct from American or British English, which made sense when you thought about it. Anyone learning…

      DOS Ch-26 Cover
      by Fable Weaver A few days later on the set, before we began shooting, I had to get some photos with Toni and an extra who was playing my father and it didn’t take longer than an hour. Today was the first day of shooting for Toni. Different backgrounds were set for us to take different photographs with us laughing and smiling like a normal family.“I am sorry.” I apologized to Toni when we were done with the photos, “About what I said about your dance. It wasn’t bad.”I was avoiding Toni all these days at home…

      DOS Ch-58

      DOS Ch-58 Cover
      by Fable Weaver As I walked down the red carpet, the flashes from different cameras almost blinded me. I was wearing a white coat over a black shirt, black pants, and a black tie with a white checkered pattern on it. The only piece of a different color was my pocket square, which was maroon. Overall, I loved my getup because it was a little unique from what everyone else was wearing. Just as at Cannes, I had received sponsorship from many luxury brands but had settled on Gucci this time. My hair was spiked up perfectly,…

      DOS Ch-90 Cover
      by Fable Weaver Rian couldn’t believe his luck at all. Not only had Troy Armitage read his script, but he liked it so much that he wanted to meet as soon as possible. Since it was getting late that night, Rian drove over to Troy’s big Beverly Hills home the very next morning. He was a little intimidated by the opulence of the place, but he curbed that thought. He knew that if he were successful, he could have a similar place of his own. Maybe not today, but definitely someday.“Rian!” Troy walked over in a loose…

      by Fable Weaver “Don’t be nervous,” Tobias said gently as Diana held his arm tightly. “This is something most people go through sooner or later. Believe me, everything will be alright. Honestly, I thought you’d get married way after me, but hey, life has its surprises, right?”Diana took a deep breath, trying to calm her nerves. She loved Tobias to death, but he was terrible at pep talks.“You wouldn’t say that if you were getting married at 21 because you were pregnant,” she retorted as calmly as she…

      by Fable Weaver The movie album of became the highest-selling album not just of the year, but of the 21st century. Thanks to Troy’s dedicated fan base, the initial reception to the album was phenomenal.

Coupled with the aggressive promotion by Troy’s own label, one of his songs was almost always playing on radio and TV channels.Initially, songs like Sugar and We Don’t Talk Anymore were…

      by Fable Weaver November 2006, Los Angeles, CA, USA“Great to have you here, Anna,” I greeted my co-star warmly. “Have you met Jennifer Lawrence?”The two exchanged polite greetings.“Anna,” I called out, motioning her to the side. “Can you come here for a bit? I need to discuss something before rehearsals.”“Sure,” she said, a little too enthusiastically, before following me. I shot Jennifer an apologetic smile, but she didn’t seem to notice anything amiss, only ducking her head as if trying not to…

      by Fable Weaver “Holy shit! That was great, baby,” I said with a grin before pulling Anna on top of me and planting a fierce kiss on her lips. As my hands slid down her back, she broke the kiss. “Stop right there. I’m not doing it again.” “What?” I asked innocently, pulling her hips closer. She rolled her eyes and shook her head. “I’m so sore from last night, I don't know how I'll walk anywhere. Not to mention, I’ve got a flight back to LA in a few hours. I need to get ready.” “You…

      DOS Ch-255 Cover
      by Fable Weaver “STOP!” Rachel Dawes, played by Maggie Gyllenhaal, stepped forward to confront the Joker. She was clearly terrified but trying to hold her ground. The Joker turned to her, smiling wider than before, and launched into yet another unsettling monologue. “Do you know how I got these scars? I had a wife once,” he began. “She was beautiful, just like you. She used to tell me I should worry less. Smile more.” He spoke softly at first, recounting how his wife had been scarred by loan sharks,…

      by Fable Weaver The next day on set, I was met with a very apologetic Jamie.“Troy, I’m very sorry for my behavior yesterday. I hope you can forgive me,” Jamie pleaded, bending slightly at the front with his hands joined in a universal begging motion.“Okay,” I answered simply.Jamie looked up in surprise. “Okay?”I shrugged. “What else do you want me to do? Humiliate you? That’s what kids do. One piece of advice from me, though: if you want to survive in the industry for long, either make sure not to offend…
