classic hollywood rpf: you'd look good in black and white

[jada_jasmine]

you’d look good in black and white. classic hollywood rpf set in a modern era. 5900 words. PG13. The thing about Hollywood is half the people believe their whole lives are movies, and the other half believe movies are their whole lives.

Marilyn Monroe/Marlon Brando, Audrey Hepburn/Gregory Peck, Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton, name dropping of

This was *amazing*. So original, so inspired, such an ingenious, wonderful way to stick everyone into the same world that was a little like a dream, and felt a little like a fairy tale. Happy Friday to all, that was wonderful.

Thank you! I was reading this blog I just discovered, Go Fug Yourself, and one of the writers said, "Hollywood was so much better before the Internet" which somehow in my mind turned into this?

Anyways glad you liked it!

"Hollywood was so much better before the Internet"

Massively true. There are no secrets in Hollywood any more, because of paparazzi following celebrities everywhere and climbing up trees to look into their yeards, and celebrities have finally adopted the *Can't Beat'em, Join'em* attitude and tweet every waking thought they have.

Wow. This is amazing. I read the summary and didn't think it would work, but it worked so well! Really inventive, and your writing style is fantastically evocative.

Audrey’s outside by herself, sneaking a cigarette because no one in LA smokes (cigarettes) anymore and she just wants to get cancer in peace.

What a wonderfully written (and chilling) line.

Thanks! The entire scene that starts with the line you mentioned is actually my favorite of the series.

I'm glad you thought I pulled off the concept.

This is gorgeous. Your writing is beautiful and the whole concept is really great and original, and I'm bad at finding appropriate adjectives, but I just wanted you to know that I loved this.

[jada_jasmine]

Thank you! This is kind of my favorite thing that I've written but I realize that it's kind of out there, concept wise, so I'm so so happy you loved it!

This was just the most stunning thing I have read in ages - it was amazing how you fitted everything together and how you crafted this modern world around them.

Thank you so much! This was without a doubt my project of 2011 so I am so flattered whenever anyone else likes it.
