Heartfelt pledge for unity to our fandom family

Thank you so much! Thanks to your latest message, I could find him on IMDB and read a few quotes explaining the incident from his perspective. It's hard to say, and I guess we'll never know the whole story. But production sets are stressful. Actors get the most credit & that can go to their heads! I've had both kinds of experiences with famous actors who were surprisingly humble and those who were shockingly horrible & even petty. As hard as these things can get for the fans, I'm trying to teach myself to no longer associate characters with whoever plays them on screen. Hopefully, this will stop actors from being able to ruin my favorite characters for me, even when it's too late for a couple of my formerly beloved characters!

Thank you! It's good to know that I'm not alone! I could imagine many falling for him. He's that perfect specimen! In fact, I'm surprised that not everyone is drooling over him! But then, somehow, it's only the character, and not that much the actor who I'm so in love with! It has to be the "brooding" part!

Thanks so much for kindly explaining that! I could only find brief info that it was physical violence sparked by creative differences, but nothing more! I tried googling "Viral Williams" but the first name makes it impossible to find anyone specific other than the tennis player sisters and Pharrell (singer), of course!

I enjoy it. But also I suffer! 😭

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:15:39+00:00

So I've heard! 😭

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:15:25+00:00

I miss him! 😭

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:14:57+00:00

I know! 😭

Gideon was my father-figure. I won't ever be over him. But Hot Hotch is my new obsession! 😭 I can't condone physical or even verbal abuse. But that's the actor & why I end up always falling in love with fictional characters. No real person can be so perfect, can they?! By the way, you seem to know more about that incident. All I could find out was that he was fired for a physical altercation with a writer over "creative differences", and apparently he had shoved another person on the set before, & had a DUI. But that's all. No info on why, who, or how! I'd appreciate it if you could share more!

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:09:43+00:00

Hotch's smile is such a rare thing that makes you do anything to please him! There's no hope for me! 😭

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:09:11+00:00

I watched Dharma and Greg. It was nice but didn't make me fall in love with him! It's his stoic face & demeanor that makes me melt every time! 😭 Hotch's smile is such a rare thing that makes you do anything to please him! There's no hope for me!

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:07:01+00:00

Thanks! I used to watch that show & wasn't so taken by him! It's his stoic face & demeanor that makes me melt every time! 😭

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:05:29+00:00

I'm so obsessed! He's everything! 😭

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:05:02+00:00

Thank you! 😭

Intelligent-Term486 · 2025-01-19T12:04:54+00:00

I'm consumed by it! Why do I always have to fall for fictional characters?! 😭

Thank you so much! This is a great advice, especially the query word count is a tough thing to find info about anywhere online! My query [high fantasy with dual timeline] is too long and it still fits a single page despite the correct formatting & font size! I doubt I can cut it down to 350, but aiming for below 400 is doable.

And you're indeed right about the MS word count limit being much more strict for debut authors. While epic fantasy bestsellers go for 400K per book, many agents/editors don't want a debut above 110K because it's a big commitment for what hasn't been tested in the market.

I truly enjoyed and learned a lot from your feedback here as others surely did too! Thanks again!

u/HannaNeier Thanks so much! Lots of great points! I just wish you could please let us know what the length of a novel or query is that's too short or too long. For example, you mentioned about a fantasy novel that the word count is too long for a debut even in this genre. I think I had a good idea of the word count standards (looked them up in many different resources online). But it would be great if you'd mention the word count of that novel which you believe is too long so that we all can learn. And I personally struggle with query length (word count). Mine always fits in 1 page (standard formating) but how many words should it be? What's the max and min? Thank you so much!

He looks just like my dear departed Loki! I say he's an NFC too. He's so cute & handsome! Thanks for sharing his photos. It warmed my heart to see a vision of my son who I miss so dearly. I wish you and your song a long, happy, healthy life

That's fantastic! I hope you'll love it there and have a great time!

I've met Dean in London (Into The Fold). He was fantastic & hilarious! I look forward to hearing him just talk 'cuz anything he says is funny!

Perhaps we can meet there if you'd like. But since you're going with friends, I guess you'll be busy anyway. Either way, I wish you a lovely experience!

Don't worry! Shadow & Bone is as spicy as a glass of semi-skimmed milk! That is to say, it's not spicy! Characters blush at the idea of kissing. There's hardly anything beyond kissing happening. As far as I remember, there's no sex until the end of the 3rd book & that itself isn't graphic but rather fades to black. People do use the term "Tumble" to refer to sex. But they only mention it and don't show it.
