Can't have one ridiculously long one in the middle. Then it might get turned into two movies. ;)
--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on February 21, 2021, 12:50:55 AM ---Hehe! Yeah, things can't get too light and fluffy on Team Dark without some horrible happening soon after. You're just waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I like to lull them into a false sense of security for a chapter or so. It makes it really gut wrenching.
--- Quote from: RokofAges75 on February 21, 2021, 12:50:55 AM ---LOL! Yes, definitely. When the story takes place across a few days, those days are probably important, whereas when it spans several months or years, you try to capture the highlights and skip through the time in between.

Fiction is an escape from the mundane. It's why no one ever takes a shower or uses the bathroom in literature or media unless it's plot important. I think I would even get bored of a live stream of what the Boys did all day. Maybe I would pay attention if it was "Here's what we do in the hours leading up to a concert" or "portions of creating an album." But, I'm just picturing Nick leaving a webcam on at his house and it being... really mundane.

Some troll tagged like every popular fandom there is and posted the text of "The Great Gatsby" in the tag box so it created a giant wall of tags that takes like a full minute to scroll past. I clicked on the "story," and it technically does seem to contain a random reference to the various fandoms tagged. BSB is tagged and mentioned once, which is why it shows up on their page. Super annoying, but also kind of funny, especially considering the only character tagged is "Original Male Dog." That cracked me up when I saw it.

And Mare thought large banners were bad! I'm dying at "Original Male Dog." I would be really upset if I was the person beneath it.
The things people will do to get noticed.

LOL It would just be him making pancakes and watching YouTube with the kids like all his Instagram videos. I love that he gives us glimpses into his life, and it's so cute watching him interact with his kids, but I would not want to watch Daddy Nick all day unless I was his lucky wife.

LOL That shit would never fly on AC. Mare and Julilly would have deleted it right away.

Don't forget the hour of playing video games and yelling at the screen. Good point, I do enjoy watching my husband do mundane things, so Lauren probably enjoys it. Or, realistically, she's like "You're home, time for some Lauren time, bye!" Which I could not blame her.

So quickly that we would have never even seen it and all we would have is a reminder in the rules about the length of summaries!
What's our next major discussion topic? Any ideas?
Today writing-wise, I've been busy bothering my friends helping me cultivate a list of things because I figured they were too vaguely spoilery to ask here. Unless anyone does not care about my spoilers and likes making lists, haha.
How about everybody else?
