Oooooo... interesting development.  Naughty Dominic *waggles finger*  Hehe, Ryan's fun.  Definitely gotta watch out for him though XD

Great update Rosa ^^

I swear, Dominic could save a litter of puppies from a burning building and read to blind orphans on his days off, and we'd still just think of him as "that guy who read Marielle's confession cam when he wasn't supposed to."  :P

(But seriously, Pyro, I think you're cool. Dom's just got this, "bad boy" angle going on as of late.)

Speaking of bad boys, I'm liking this Ryan character. Is he based off of the Mr. Rosa, by chance, or is he just your standard gender swap character?

And in a surprise twist, Marielle leaves the mansion and runs off with Ryan...
Seriously, though, I truly appreciate the depth that you create for the show by providing these "behind the scene" bits with so much depth in the executive team and how well fleshed out their world is.  I actually found myself pausing to admire The background in Pam's office and the images on the computer screen when Dom was using it.  Fantastic job!

In retrospect, its a good thing I didn't create one of th bachelors, because in a story like this i like to read everything.

Let me asure you it is tough being a sponsor who is also a voracious reader.  But I can wait for the end of the story till I can finally read the confession cams.  I'm enjoying it all so much. 

Great update Rosa.  I like how you included Pam and how you portrayed her.  She is always supportive of the members as well as fair and just.

I like the way you turned a real-life hiccup into part of the behind-the-scenes story :)

How did you get that screenshot, anyway? I agree that it's a good one. Gives the reader a strong first impression. (whether it's good or not is another matter. I personally like him)

Magic ;D No, custom poses. It's cool, no? I definitely had to get that first impression in. I think it fits him extraordinarily well. I'm glad you like him--I really do, too.

Oooooo... interesting development.  Naughty Dominic *waggles finger*  Hehe, Ryan's fun.  Definitely gotta watch out for him though XD

Oh, yes. Watch out for Ryan. He is trouble. Fun trouble, though. So hard narrowing it down to five traits for him. So in the end I just wrote him with more than he actually could have. Glad you liked it.

I swear, Dominic could save a litter of puppies from a burning building and read to blind orphans on his days off, and we'd still just think of him as "that guy who read Marielle's confession cam when he wasn't supposed to."  :P

Speaking of bad boys, I'm liking this Ryan character. Is he based off of the Mr. Rosa, by chance, or is he just your standard gender swap character?

Hahahahah isn't that terrible? We humans so tend to focus on the negative.

He does, doesn't he? Hmm.

Ohhh, yes. Ryan, the ultimate bad boy. He makes Dominic at his naughtiest look like pound cake (darn it, now I want pound cake). He is nothing like Mr Rosa. Hahaha. Nor is he a standard gender swap character, either. But that is very observant of you. We'll say, that he combines two
Jungian archetypes.

And in a surprise twist, Marielle leaves the mansion and runs off with Ryan...

Hahaha! Wouldn't that be lovely? Oh no, they're not going to meet. It would seriously damage the bachelors' chances ;) Besides, why would Marielle have legal issues? She is perfect! Hahaha
I am so glad you appreciate that. I really do put in a lot of time to put these together. It took me roughly five hours to build and screenshot this interlude (both parts) not counting writing them. I was just going to do a quick thing and then of course my Perfectionist trait kicked in like it always does, and before you know it, the time is gone. Worth it when people notice, though. Thank goodness intl_incident built the crew room as such a perfect background for those characters. That's actually why I started these behind-the-scenes things, because that room was too good not to use a lot. I am glad you like Pam's office. I tried hard to incorporate all of her traits into it, while basing it on the office of another television executive (anyone watch 30 Rock?) I should have got more screenshots of the whole thing. The game refused to save after this and I lost all of it.

Anyway, can anyone guess Pam's traits from her office? (You can't see the kitty calendar I put in, but it's there).

In retrospect, its a good thing I didn't create one of th bachelors, because in a story like this i like to read everything.

Yes. It would be very challenging for me as well. I don't think the bachelors knew the torture they were signing themselves up for!

Let me asure you it is tough being a sponsor who is also a voracious reader.  But I can wait for the end of the story till I can finally read the confession cams.  I'm enjoying it all so much. 

Great update Rosa.  I like how you included Pam and how you portrayed her.  She is always supportive of the members as well as fair and just.

I think it would be an interesting experience for sure. It really gives you something to look forward to, and I hope is a nice consolation prize when someone gets kicked off--hey, you're the first one to get to read everything!

Thank you. I've been wanting to have her actually physically appear since I got permission to use her as a network executive. I thought this was the perfect opportunity. I had so much fun making her office. I hope the real Pam approves. Anyway, I definitely wanted the sim Pam to be like the real Pam is to us on the forum--steadfast in the rules, consistent, fair, and caring. I'm glad that came across.

I like the way you turned a real-life hiccup into part of the behind-the-scenes story :)

Thank you. That's what I aim for. :D

Hmm... Cat Lover, Bookworm, Perfectionist, Eco-Friendly?

Oooh... yeah. I'm thinking Green Thumb more than Eco-Friendly now, because of all the plants. I didn't really get a sense of Computer Whiz from the office, but it's Pam, so it makes sense.  :)
TEAMWORK!

So that leaves one trait slot..... hmmmmm.....

What a fun update! Although I sort of feel bad for Dominic! Then again, maybe Marielle will really dig the bad boy thing he's got going on? I think it's a fun twist for his character. But it's easy to understand the slip up of clicking on the confession cams. Oh tempting little spoilers! Must . . . resist . . . clicking!

I loved Pam's office, by the way, that was very well put together.

Oh yay, lots of responses! Let's see . . .

Well done! You got three out of five on the first try.

Definitely Cat Lover and Bookworm. Maybe Eco-Friendly, Green Thumb, or . . . Computer Whiz!

We agree Cat Lover and Bookworm for sure. And there's one more correct guess! Good job!

Oooh... yeah. I'm thinking Green Thumb more than Eco-Friendly now, because of all the plants. I didn't really get a sense of Computer Whiz from the office, but it's Pam, so it makes sense.  :)

Notice those are not plants you grow, though. I think you were on the right track with the whole surrounded-by-plants Eco-Friendly idea. Yes, it does make sense! How does one make an office look like a Computer Whiz works there?

Family-oriented/nurturer. We all know how Pam loves the nooboos!

Surprisingly, not one of her traits. I'm sure Pam herself has the trait though, as we are not limited to five slots in real life!

I saw a computer on the desk in one of the screenshots.

Good eye, Azo-chan!


All right, good! You have correctly guessed four of the five traits. I will give you a hint to the fifth as it is difficult. There is a clue in the very last screenshot ;)

Glad you liked it! I had fun writing it. Yes, difficult to resist! I need to write this faster so you all don't have to wait so long! Doing my best to distract you in the meantime.

Thank you! It was a lot of work and took a long time, but the appreciation always makes it worth it!
