“What the fuck happened to you?” David Crane didn’t bother with a greeting as soon as I stepped into the office he shared with Marta Kauffman. Both of them were in their mid-to-late thirties. David’s receding hairline exaggerated his already large forehead, and his glasses kept sliding down his nose. Marta sat beside him, a beautiful, homely woman with kind eyes and a fuller figure that gave her a comforting presence. “What do you mean, exactly?” I asked, genuinely confused. Then I…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

“I have a counter-question for you,” Troy replied immediately, without an ounce of worry in his voice. “If I were to play a gay character tomorrow, would it also be considered hypocritical because I’m not gay in real life?” “Of course,” the woman retorted. “A gay actor would bring more authenticity to such a story.” “By that logic, I’m also not a homicidal maniac, so I shouldn’t play the Joker. Do you know an unhinged person like him we could cast in the next Batman movie?…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-51
I sat across from my soon-to-be agent and carefully read through the contract she’d handed me. It didn’t take me long to get through the pages. “Honestly, I didn’t expect the reason for you not signing me up to be this,” I said, motioning around at her new office, which looked nothing like her old one. And thank God she didn’t insist on representing me back then. For if she had, I would have lost out on a good chunk of my profits from the backend deal I had subsequently signed with Sean…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

“Fuck!” I slammed my hands down on the steering wheel, the horn blaring loudly and making a man on the sidewalk in front of my car jump in surprise. He shot me an angry glare, but I ignored him and leaned back in my seat, staring at nothing. Everything had gone wrong. I’d come all the way back to the day I regretted the most, only to realize that regret itself had been a lie. Nothing I did would magically land me a role in Friends. Not like this. Not with reality stacked so firmly against…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

I woke up after what felt like a very long, deep sleep. Yesterday’s run-in with a future superstar had left me reeling. Would he even become a superstar now that I had taken for myself? Even though I was exhausted, my brain was working overtime, thinking about Tom Cruise and the implications of taking one of his iconic roles. Should I feel some sort of guilt for taking the role away from him? I didn’t. Every film I’d done until now, whether it was or , had originally gone to someone else. By…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

I took a deep breath, closed my eyes to center myself, then finally opened them. I focused entirely on the girl standing beside me, keeping my face deliberately cold. “Please don’t go. I love you, Cal,” she begged as she stepped closer and reached for my hand. At least she tried to. I yanked my hand away and shot her a loathing glare. “I don’t. In fact, I fucking hate you,” I almost spat. “I never loved you.” She stumbled back, horrified. “Then why did you say otherwise for…- 31.2 K • Ongoing

“Yes!” I shouted as I hugged Evan tightly. “Much more deserved than my award!” “Thanks, Troy,” Evan whispered back in my ear before separating and embracing Jonathan next. Seeing those two together after all these years was still a surprise even to me. From what I knew, they were mostly in an open relationship, and such relationships rarely lasted this long, whether for straight couples or gays. After exchanging hugs with most of the cast, Evan finally walked onto the stage and…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

February 2009, London, UK Emma Watson felt like she was finally free after such a long time. As much as she loved the world, it was high time that she moved on. Her time at Oxford University had been some of the best of her life so far. That was another reason she was happy to leave behind. She had taken a year off from her education to finish the last movie, and now she could finally do what she wanted to. The grand ballroom sparkled with chandeliers and gold-trimmed walls, filled with laughter,…- 1.0 M • 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,…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
