Fanfic Writers: Director’s Cut

Reblog this if you want readers to come into your ask box and ask for the “director’s commentary” on a particular story, section of a story, or set of lines.

Or, send in a ⭐star⭐ to have the author select a section they’ve been dying to talk about!

The Bad Boys Bakery

Allegedly run by an FBI task force as a crime-watching front, the Bad Boys Bakery is known for the wide variety of breads and pastries it offers. They have a longstanding, mostly one-sided rivalry with the Clock Cafe because their cakes are stealing the bakery’s customer base from under their noses.

Grian [Last name redacted]: The extremely stressed head of the operation to track down and neutralise the main mafia family in the area, the Clockers. He’s also the official owner of the bakery. He vehemently denies the existence of any romantic and/or sexual tension between him and the charismatic owner of their rival cafe, insisting that the only intentions he has with Scar Goodtimes are homicidal. (Grian’s right to declare murderous urges is protected under the First Amendment.) He is banned from the kitchen due to his pathological obsession with buttons. Joel [Last name redacted]: Head baker and Grian’s right-hand man, Joel has tasked himself with baking a pie so good it draws his wife out of hiding. Some wonder if he has perhaps gotten a bit too into character with the whole bread thing, seeing as he’s supposed to be part of the FBI’s most elite covert ops team. It’s fine. Why do you care so much if Joel’s a secret agent from the American government? What, are you obsessed with him or something? Jimmy [Last name redacted]: Jimmy handles the storefront and greets every prospective customer with the same grin and, if accused of being a toy cowboy (long story), the same indignation. He is fine with being the mascot for their bakery, though. When not trying to fight crime or run a bakery, Jimmy enjoys bubble baths, plotting with his cat Norman, and convincing his friends to play board games with him. Also, for some reason, every time someone pays in cash they give him nickels?

With all the bread you could ever want and then some, why not stop by the Bad Boys Bakery today? Any information on your local money launderers is also much appreciated.

Life Series Spin the Wheel Game

Congratulations! You've been selected to participate in a season of the Life Series.

You'll need allies; roll a d4 and then spin the player wheel that many times to see who you end up teaming with (if you get repeats, re-roll). They are only as loyal as you'd expect them to be, given past performance.

Unfortunately, you also managed to wrong someone early on - whether on accident or on purpose - and now they're out for your blood once they turn red. Spin the player wheel again to see who you've got hunting you down later in the season. (If you roll a teammate, feel free to reroll.)

But what's the gimmick? Spin the seasons wheel to see what mechanics, if any, you'll be dealing with. If you get Last Life, roll a d6 to see how may lives you're starting with. If you get Double Life, the first player you rolled for your alliance is also your soulmate. Good luck!
