STS Ch-71
“Noah, sit on the hood of the car and give me that high-fashion look, like all this doesn’t matter to you at all.” I slid onto the hood of the Porsche 911 and got comfortable. Thanks to years of modelling, this felt right in my comfort zone. I looked toward the camera, but slightly to the left, to make it seem like I was indifferent to its presence. “Perfect!” the man shouted excitedly as he continued taking photos of me in the same position from different angles. I had already shot…- 231.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-72
“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…- 231.0 K • Ongoing

~Just take those old records off the shelfI'll sit and listen to 'em by myselfToday's music ain't got the same soulI like that old-time rock 'n' roll~ The music blared in the background as I bungled another take. Or more like the floor did. I’d either overdo the slide and land on the extreme right of the frame, or underdo it and land on the left. For some fucking reason, I just couldn’t land in the middle the way I wanted. “Fuck!” I cursed out loud. Paul turned to the assistant director.…- 231.0 K • 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…- 231.0 K • Ongoing

STS Ch-78
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…- 231.0 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,…- 231.0 K • Ongoing

“Please welcome the biggest superstar on the planet. One of the best singers working in the industry right now, and the recipient of multiple Oscars, Grammys, Tonys, and Emmys. Troy Armitage, everyone!” The studio exploded the moment my name was announced. I walked out from behind the curtain, lights flooding the stage as the band struck up its familiar tune. I waved enthusiastically at the crowd, their cheers crashing over me in a wall of sound. The standing ovation was honestly a little too…- 1.0 M • Ongoing

“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…- 231.0 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…- 231.0 K • Ongoing

“Hey, is it okay if I invite Silvie over?” I asked, loosening my tie as Al and I walked inside the house. He opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle of beer. “Which one is she?” I grinned. “She’s the one with the brown hair… and that rack.” I motioned at my pecs to indicate the most distinguishing feature of hers. Al gave me a judging look for all of two seconds before shaking his head. “No.” “What do you mean, no?” I asked, my demeanor shifting slightly from happy to…- 231.0 K • Ongoing
