STS Ch-68
“Congratulations on the success of , Noah.” “Thank you, David,” I said, nodding gratefully at him. It felt strange to be meeting David Letterman during his first year hosting a talk show on NBC. The 1980s were a very different time for talk shows compared to what I remembered from the 2020s. The ruler of the industry was undoubtedly Johnny Carson, whom I badly wanted to interview with. Unfortunately, Carson wasn’t interested. I wasn’t big enough for his time. Something similar happened…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

After a successful meeting with the director of Friday the 13th, I drove to my second appointment of the day. This one carried far more weight because it was with Douglas Day-Stewart and Paul Brickman, the duo rewriting my version of Risky Business. They had just returned from Los Angeles after finalizing the revisions that Columbia Pictures wanted before approving the film. Technically, my contract gave me the right to object to any changes made to the script. Realistically, though, filmmaking was…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-97
“So, what do you think, huh?” I asked with a raised eyebrow, leaning forward eagerly in my first-class airplane seat. Robert Zemeckis, who sat beside me, sighed, took off his glasses, and rubbed his eyes thoughtfully. After a few moments, he put his glasses back on and looked me directly in the eye. “I’ll be blunt with you, Noah,” he began slowly. “I think you’d be good in this role.” “But?” I prompted, because I could see it coming from a mile away. “But casting you in…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-327
As the movie continued, Harry, Remus, and Tonks were joined by the rest of the Order, all there to spirit Harry away from Number 4, Privet Drive. Ron, Hermione, Fred, George, Bill, Fleur, Arthur Weasley, Mundungus Fletcher, and Kingsley Shacklebolt arrived in quick succession, led by Mad-Eye Moody. The empty living room felt suddenly crowded with all the new arrivals. The moment Moody pulled out a flask of Polyjuice Potion, Harry became very vocal about how he felt about everyone risking their lives for…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-25
“Right,” I said with a slow nod. “I’m not very good with money or numbers, so I’ll have to ask my lawyer to go over it with you, or with someone else from Columbia, at a later date.” Frank Price’s smile widened, as if he had just uncovered my excuse for what it was. If I hadn’t offered that line, he would have pushed me to sign the contract immediately, and I was in no mood to create unnecessary friction. “Was that all on your end?” I asked. “Just one more thing,” he…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

Jason Wolfe
Jason hated his life. He was meant to become an actor, a superstar, a heartthrob. Instead, all his dreams were taken from him far too early because of one terrible incident. To add insult to injury, he died of cancer before he had even lived half his life. The end. Or so he thought. A bored goddess of love takes an interest in him…- 10.0 K • Jan 1, '26

DOS Ch-356
“This year’s award season, which leads up to the Oscars, just took a confusing turn,” the man on the TV said with a smile. “The Golden Globes, which open the season, were heavily skewed in favor of the biggest movie of the year, . With the exception of two acting awards in the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor categories, the movie won every award it had been nominated for. The same trend followed at the Critics' Choice Awards, where, once again, the last Harry Potter movie swept the awards,…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-36
“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…- 278.0 K • Ongoing

DOS Ch-339
I looked around the set, taking in the controlled chaos unfolding in every direction. Crew members hurried past with purpose, some carrying lighting rigs while others adjusted cameras mounted on towering cranes. It was hectic, but it made sense. Today was about making sure we got the tone of the show right. It had to feel as grand and imposing as I’d envisioned. “So you’re ready for this scene?” I looked up to see James Cameron standing beside me, a familiar grin on his face. “Don’t I…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

STS Ch-49
It surprised Al Pacino to learn that a mere 18-year-old had written such an impressive story. When Noah left the script for him that day, Al had been irritated. It wasn’t the first time an acquaintance had tried to corner him into working together, and he was usually very good at shutting those attempts down. Still, there was something about Noah that stirred his curiosity. If the boy had managed to sell a script to Columbia and earn enough money to buy a house right next to his, he couldn’t be…- 278.0 K • Ongoing
