Doug typed furiously, the rhythmic clack of the typewriter keys echoing through the small, stuffy room. Sheets of paper already littered the floor around his chair, the casualties of discarded ideas. He was working on the rewrite of one of the key scenes of The Blue Lagoon, and the pressure weighed heavily on him. Just yesterday, Randal had urged him to hurry, insisting the production was moving faster than anyone had anticipated. The crew was somehow shooting underwater scenes at an astonishing pace.…- 246.1 K • Ongoing
“Hermione! Ron!” I hugged the two actors who stood in for Harry Potter’s best friends. “The gang’s all back together!” “Harry, honestly, don’t you have a job?” Hermione said irritably. “You need to stop coming to Hogwarts every day. Ron and I work here.” “I killed Voldemort!” I proclaimed dramatically. “That was ten years ago, mate,” Ron pointed out. I ignored the duo and turned toward the group of students behind me who were paying me some attention. “So, who…- 1.0 M • Ongoing
- “You were marvelous in the show,” the old man said, pulling me into a warm, lingering hug. “This is hands down my favorite musical of the 21st century.” “Thank you, Steven,” I said sincerely once he let go. “Man, it’s been so long since we last met.” “It has,” Steven Spielberg agreed with a fond smile. “And even longer since we worked together.” “True,” I said, gesturing for him to take the seat opposite me in my far-too cramped changing room. That was the life of a…

- “Why are you so tense?” Jeannine asked. I was pushing my dinner around my plate instead of eating it. She leaned closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. “Still thinking about what happened on the set today?” “How can I not?” I replied. “More than that, I’m thinking about what will happen tomorrow.” The shoot with Jeannine had taken much longer than we anticipated. The original schedule was to film her scene and Laurie’s on the same day, saving the more technical scene with…

- Tobias sat across from a plump middle-aged woman named Erica in a cozy, secluded booth in a cafe near her home in Buckinghamshire, England. She stared at him with wide eyes after listening to his offer. "I can't believe it." She shook her head slowly, still in disbelief. "I write fanfiction. Not some great piece of literature. Why would one of the world's biggest entertainment companies be interested in my story?" Tobias kept his expression calm, though inside he was wondering the same thing. And…

- “If there’s one thing I hope you take away from today’s lesson, it’s that there are no painless solutions in this world, only trade-offs. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either campaigning for elections… or hasn’t done the assigned reading, as you’re about to do this weekend.” I couldn’t stop the amused snort that escaped me, and half the students were in the same boat. It helped that our professor was one of the coolest on campus. “See you all next week.” Everyone seemed…

- June 2004, Pittsburgh, PA, USA“I’m a little nervous about the shoot today, Troy,” Emma said softly while sitting beside me. “I don’t think this role is suitable for me.”“Nonsense,” I shot down her insecurities. “It is unsuitable for you only if you think that.”Emma didn’t say anything for a few moments. “I saw the replay of the first week of filming. I can see that I’m far from being the best actress.”As much as I wanted to, I couldn’t disagree with that completely. While I…

- LunaBliss: I don’t remember the last time I cried this much. I watched the full video, along with dozens of others that Troy had linked in the description. How can anyone do that to another human being, let alone children? I want to hurt someone right now. #NotProstitutes #ReleaseEpsteinNames Lucy_12: I feel the same. Hats off to Troy for standing up to our corrupt government. I don’t think I would have had the courage to do what he did if I were in his place. I was never a big fan of his, but now?…

- “Thank you for agreeing to do a longer performance, Troy. I can’t tell you how much everyone is waiting for that,” the slimy man said, rubbing his hands together like a caricatured villain from a comic book. His wide grin never faltered as my hairstylist moved around me, carefully arranging each strand so I would look flawless on stage. “By the way, have you decided on your next album already? For next year’s Grammys?” I arched an eyebrow at him through the mirror. “Why do you wanna…

- 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,…
