As far as Kevin, I can picture him being passive aggressive towards the boys. Maybe deep down inside even though he said he didn't mind, maybe he was hoping they'd insist on doing things differently and by agreeing so fast to go ahead with it anyway, it maybe would make him upset. Especially once he got there and really sees how hard it's going to be. Maybe by then the guys will have all fallen in love with the location and aren't really willing to change it. I don't know, he seems to me like the passive aggressive type. lol
Every other week seems like a great plan. That's really what I should do too. It would take the pressure off of me. Not that I'm being pressured. I'm purely just pressuring myself! I did get the nicest feedback yesterday from a new person. That always helps with motivation and what I've decided to do is veer away from Roman for a minute and do a little backstory chapter about how Gerri and Logan met. That seemed to help me get moving yesterday.
Kieran was nominated for a Bafta this morning (the UK equivalent to the Oscars) So was his Succession brother for the same category just like the Globes. They're just always meant to compete against each other I guess.

So you actually have seen him in something! I haven't, but he looked so familiar to me in Thanksgiving too; I remember looking him up then too.
I could see the passive aggressive thing! It's one thing to agree without fully knowing what he's getting himself into; it's another thing to actually get there and realize how hard it's going to be and then feel like it's too late to back out. The location they filmed in is 2.5 hours away from L.A. and basically a ghost town in the middle of a desert, so there's no backing out once you drive that far. And the amount of picking him up and dragging him and his chair around that would be required to get anything resembling some of the real shots they did would probably be humiliating at best and dangerous at worst. The process isn't going to be pretty, even if the result is. Thanks for explaining what you were thinking!
I totally get the pressure thing. I like updating on a weekly schedule too, but I can only do it for so long before I run out of chapters, and then it might be several weeks before I have another one ready to post. So when I'm only a few chapters ahead of myself, I go to the every-other-week plan so give myself more time. Maybe someday I'll be the kind of writer who doesn't post anything until they finish the story. The main problem I would have with that is that most of my stories take a year or more to write, and I don't want to disappear for that long LOL. That's nice to get good feedback from someone new! Definitely motivating. Sometimes it helps to write something different. I'm glad that seemed to get you back on track!
Congrats to Kieran on his BAFTA! I wonder if that's fun or annoying for them to constantly be up for the same awards.

I saw your FB post about seeing the One Direction movie the other day and was like, "I didn't know there was a new One Direction movie." That makes more sense that it was a charity screening of their old one. I bet that was fun! I love seeing old movies in the theater. I bet it was poignant, given the loss of Liam. Glad all the 1D fans had a reason to get together and enjoy the nostalgia. I can't say I'm a huge fan, but I do enjoy some of their songs!

I wouldn't say I was a huge fan of 1D, but I did like them a lot. I had no choice lol, my daughter was a huge fan and was always playing their music in the house and my car and talking non-stop about them so I got to like them that way. I even took her to concerts and was impressed with how good they actually were. So it was a great trip down memory lane even though it's still sad about Liam.

Steph, it seems like that monkey movie is the main talk on twitter. You have all the brits saying how genius it is, and everyone should go see it and the Americans are like Robbie who? And why is he a monkey? And then that starts a whole US versus UK thing. lol
I don't get the monkey thing, and I really think that is the crux of the issue with the movie. It is something I might check out when and if it ever streams for free.

The location seems even more problematic then. It would be very typical Kevin to get there, have regret, be angry at himself and then take it out on the guys passive aggressively. Looking forward to hearing what you did when you complete your chapter.
I don't think I would ever be able to wait until a fic is complete before I posted it. I'd be too eager to get feedback on it. Kudos to the people that do manage to do that.
Kieran and Jeremy never really had to compete against each other because up until last year, Kieran was always in the supporting actor category and Jeremy was a lead. After Logan's death, both he and Sarah moved up to lead. So far, he's beaten Jeremy every time they've squared off, but we'll see what happens with these bigger awards. It's actually been very Nick versus Brian coded within the fandom. It's funny how those dynamics always seem to show up no matter what fandom there is. Here, the Kieran fans in general are very happy for Jeremy and hope he does well but the Jeremy fans are all hating on Kieran because of all the success he's been having. I'm sure neither of them cares, really. They are both the underdogs now heading into the bigger awards like SAG, BAFTA and the Oscars if they get nominaed for that.

Oh right, I don't use Twitter as forgot my username and password lol. I didn't realise Robbie Williams or Take That weren't well known over there. Robbie used to be part of Take That who were massive, but left in the 90s to go solo as he had a big falling out with the rest of the group and his ego was too big really to be part of a group. Anyway, they have since made up even though he's not part of the group anymore. I think the film probably talks about his time in Take That, so I'd be interested to see that, but not keen on the whole monkey thing lol. I'll wait to see it for free as it's no longer on in my local cinema apart from a showing in the day when I'm in work.
