STS Ch-12
After what felt like months, but was only days, I was finally back in the place I truly called home, free of any major worries pressing down on me. Not the one owned by my father, but the one where I’ve always felt I belonged: water. Thanks to Jordan, most of my financial worries had been washed away. I wasn’t suddenly rich, but not having to worry about rent and utilities went a long way in helping me breathe a little easier. And what better way for a son of Poseidon to unwind than to dive in…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

The moment I saw her, I knew who she was. She was a future Oscar winner and one of the greatest British actresses of her generation. Not to mention a brilliant writer and a very funny comedienne. Emma Thompson. “I’m so sorry for being late,” she apologized. “I mixed up the timing for this audition with another one.” “Unfortunately for you, we’re done here for today,” John said sternly. “You can come back tomorrow...” “John,” I interrupted before he could finish,…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

Doug and I went back as far as my first film. He was the one who wrote the atrocity that was . While the film was terrible, he inspired me to start writing my own scripts. He even took my first script, , to Columbia and got Paul Brickman involved in the process. Sure, Paul and I didn’t get along, but I had no beef with Doug. In fact, I owed him for essentially making my Hollywood career. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have written or any of my other scripts. “Why does Doug want to get in…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-13
The plan Randal had come up with looked good on the surface. Genius, even. Take two immature teens who were very clearly attracted to each other and use one to get the other to do what you wanted. There was just one thing Randal hadn’t accounted for: my business savviness. Sure, I wasn’t some Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos-level mastermind, but I liked to think I knew enough about the world to see through schemes like that. The little act Randal and I pulled back on the street, him pretending to leave…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“Oi! Wanker! I need those lights o’er here!” A man came rushing over with the lights toward the first AD, who was coordinating the crew on set. “Did he just call a crew member a wanker?” Tom asked in bewilderment. I shrugged. “Could be his nickname or something. I really don't wanna ask.” Tom laughed and shook his head. We admired the view of Northern England spread out before us. Away from the bustling environment of a big city like London, this was the real deal. Sure, the…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-102
“I have news, son.” “Please tell me you’re not dying,” I almost pleaded. He snorted in amusement before shaking his head. “I’m not dying. God will personally have to come down to Earth to take me before my time. Don’t you worry about that.” I sagged slightly in relief. “Then what’s the news?” “I’m getting married.” I stared at him in disbelief for two minutes, having no idea what to say. Dad seemed to like the silence, because he indulged himself in the beer…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“No,” I shook my head, firm but calm. “I have no intention of hiding my revenue. I’ll talk to an accountant, or maybe a tax lawyer, to structure my income better, but definitely not hiding from the IRS.” Michael leaned back on the couch, one arm draped lazily over the side as he shrugged. “Everybody does it, Noah,” he said in a casual tone. “That’s how all these Hollywood stars live their luxurious lives despite earning millions.” I frowned, mulling over his words for a bit. The…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

“Tell me honestly, kid, did you really write it by yourself?” Al Pacino asked, wonder creeping into his voice as he studied my face. I nodded, a grin spreading across my face. “Of course. I just had this idea while I was writing my first script. I made a few major mistakes in it, which meant I had to do some serious rewrites. At some point, I started wondering what it would be like if I could go back in time and do it all again. Then I thought, what if I made another mistake the second time too? I…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-81
The movie began with Noah Hunter waking up in bed with a start. He didn't seem to be wearing anything, but a sheet covered him from the waist down. He rubbed his face tiredly before looking at the other side of the bed, where an equally naked redhead was lying on her stomach. Only her back was visible, and her lower half was similarly covered by a sheet. “Shit!” he cursed out loud, and then the movie went into a flashback. “Bill!” one of Noah's friends called out to the protagonist and…- 297.0 K • Ongoing

When the silence became too much, Richard Gere turned to me and said, “Sorry for barging in on your meeting like that. You’re Noah, right?” “Yeah,” I said with a smile, getting up to shake his hand. “I’ve seen your work. was a good one, but is simply a masterpiece.” “Thank you.” Richard shook my hand enthusiastically. “If you’re meeting with Taylor and Doug right now, then you must be either playing Sid in the movie or replacing me. So which one is it?” He said it with…- 297.0 K • Ongoing
