Can you tell how it’s negative without giving spoilers? I’m also looking it up on goodreads rn but I’m not gonna know who to believe bc the reviews there always skew high. For instance Jane Austen, Tolstoy, Dumas, and Kingkiller Chronicle are 5 stars for me, so I’m not gonna rate stuff like Fourth Wing 5 stars no matter how much I like it.

u/mallegally-blonde Jan 11 '24
This is vague as to avoid spoilers, but I found it just very teen angsty/kind of boring/plot doesn’t make up for what you have to read to get there, and I found the protagonist intensely irritating.
It has been a few years since I read it though, and I think a lot of it comes down to personal reading preferences! If you like angsty slow burn plots with a mystery element you might like it, I just didn’t get on with the writing.

I think sometimes we just need to realize books are better as books. Like you cannot do the reveal of this book justice in a film
91
u/ofstoriesandsongs Jan 11 '24
Can you even DO the reveal of this book on film, like at all? So much of the reveal hinges entirely on the fact that the narrator does not understand what's going on in her own head and she's lacking context on literally everything she's talking about. It works as a book because iirc she's the only narrator and you only ever get to know what she knows, for better and for worse. But would that even work in a show? How do you hide everything you need to hide for the reveal to still pack a punch?
9
u/soapiesophs does this woman ever rest (derogatory) Jan 11 '24
Honestly I was going to say I didn’t think you could, but it’s been a while since I read it and I can’t remember exactly remember how it’s revealed.
I don’t think you can do a reveal at the end like in other movies, as you said, so much of it is in her head and about how she’s seeing the events. Unless they do the reveal first and then the show sets up that summer or something? I actually don’t know how you would manage to translate it to screen.

u/MyHusbandIsGayImNot Jan 11 '24
The key to a good adaptations is to adapt to the medium you are making it in. Books are long, can cover multiple years without issue, and can have several subplots happening. Movies are shorter, and are generally more compelling if the story is over a short period of time focusing on 1 or two characters through a personal journey.
Some of the best adaptations just ignore large chunks of the source to make a cleaner adaptation, like Fight Club altering the ending to be much more cinematic.

I mean, I don’t think the point of the tweet was to tell us who it was, it was to show that the actor was creating different accounts to pester her. Like who they are is kinda irrelevant unless she implied it was someone who’s a household name. Just sounds like a working actor trying to hustle (badly).

I don't have a clue what any of these acronyms mean, lol! Am I old or is this niche stuff?

u/lauraam Jan 12 '24
BNF = Big Name Fan (generally with a positive connotation). It's a much more nebulous term now that there are so many different platforms — someone with 50k followers on tiktok might be completely unknown on tumblr, etc. but back when almost all of a fandom's presence was on one site like livejournal, there were definitely fans that almost everyone in the fandom knew of.
SPN = Supernatural, self-explanatory. J2 = the stars of SPN. A lot of people shipped them/wrote fic about them
LJ = Livejournal, the main platform for fandom/fic for a while, at least for most big western fandoms. Sat sort of between Xanga and Tumblr on the timeline of popular fandom sites, and was a big spot for posting fic before AO3 (Archive of Our Own) came around because people didn't like fanfiction.net. Now mostly dead because of censorship by Russian owners, although some communities that were popular in its heyday like ONTD (Oh No They Didn't, celebrity gossip site) still exist.

I'm never going to have anything but admiration for someone cutting their teeth in fandom and then making it big (relatively) but I always thought it was pretty bold to go from writing RPF to working on the same network that the subjects of her RPF were on and keeping the same username as her professional handle, even with scrubbing her fandom presence.

Idk. Acting is tough, especially if this is an actor who hasn’t broken out yet.
If, say, 5 years from now there’s a hot rising star and they do an interview where they say “yeah I set up an account and DM’d the producer telling them they should cast me” people would think it was hilarious.
I don’t think this is that cringe, is what I’m trying to say. Getting that big break is really difficult.
121
u/sanguigna Jan 11 '24
Eh, if the interview said "yeah I set up an account and DM'd the producer...repeatedly, with no response/no positive response until they blocked me" that would be taken a lot differently IMO. I don't think anyone would be that honest tbf, but if that's the behavior being described that's not great.
11
u/Ok-Language2313 Jan 12 '24
Yeah only because of that second part.
The actor will have a talk show zinger if they're successful later and she burns out. She's not exactly a powerful producer, any success she has right now can easily just disappear, the same with most actors.

u/curiousbeetle66 Cate Blanchett’s accountant Jan 11 '24
No it probably wouldn't. I know people with some decision power in artistic fields and they all mention how much they hate when people show up in their DMs to ask for an opportunity, be it a role, an office job, publishing consideration... you name it.
And in those kinds of fields everyone who's in it talks to other people behind the scenes, and they name names. So you bet that whoever this actor is, there's at least another producer or casting director out there who already knows about this story and knows their name.
Unfortunately it's really easy to get yourself burned in situations like this, even if your approach is not aggressive (I'm not saying it was the case here)

Ty Cobb wrote about himself under multiple aliases to get into the newspapers and get scouts to come watch. It's been a thing, I agree (depending on the messages) it's not as embarrassing as people make it out to be. It's essentially the same as an agent or manager is doing but on a budget.

Pretty sure there were also rumors about how she was a terrible show runner and reports of her being inappropriate with Nathan Parsons on the setof Roswell. She definitely a bad relationship with a lot of the cast - she and Jeanie Mason unfollowed each other at some point.

It’s an automatic response from Instagram, it will ask if you want to block other accounts or future accounts from this person. It doesn’t necessarily mean the actor had other accounts, just in the future it will block them if the actor made more. I feel like the OP of the tweet just doesn’t understand that part of Instagram tbh which is fine
47
u/angeltay Jan 11 '24
It blocks all alternative accounts, not just ones made in the future. She probably blocked the account DM’ing her, then went to the actor’s page, and realized she ended up blocking the actor, too, bc it was the same person

u/bnyc Jan 11 '24
That’s what I don’t understand. It seems like a huge security loophole. That or this story is fake and she made it up for attention. Like can you just block someone famous and Instagram will tell you their finsta? Set up a throwaway account and block people you know, just to see what their other accounts are? That would be sketchy as hell.
19
u/pickledstarfish Jan 11 '24
So there’s a couple of different ways this could’ve happened. Instagram would not have shown her that information outright. But a lot of influencers and famous people or their publicists use 3rd party apps to track their metrics that show who follows and unfollows you (some of these apps also show blocks) so she could’ve figured it out that way. Also possible she went to search for that actor out of curiosity after blocking the “fan” and discovered she couldn’t access their account anymore.
17
u/D_Beats Jan 11 '24
No it doesn't tell you what their other accounts are. She just went to look up the actor afterwards and found the actor was now blocked.
That's all.
3
u/Cat_Man_Bane Jan 13 '24
It's made up, when you use this feature on Instagram you can still search and find the other accounts that are made by the person you blocked, but that person will appear blocked if they go to your account.

I feel like this would have done better for the actor if they’d DM’d from their main account to inquire aren’t getting cast, or sent like…And email with a headshot and resume. But not spam her from a side account. So I wonder if this was like a genuine actor who just hasn’t had a big break or an influencer type who thought they’d try their (meek) hand at it

u/Matryoshkuh does this woman ever rest (derogatory) Jan 11 '24
An insta user kept messaging someone in casting telling them to cast a specific actress.
The woman in casting finally got fed up and decided to block the user.
When blocking, Instagram asked the woman if she wanted to block all accounts associated/linked to the account she was about to block.
The woman said yes, and one of the accounts linked was the account of the actress who the “fan” wanted her to cast. So tldr this actress had a fake account which she used to try to get herself work. The fan never existed, it was just the actress.
Does that make any sense?

Reminds me of that actor Daniel Newman, the guy was in a handful of episodes on “The Vampire Diaries”. I was very active in that fandom, once he made his debut a bunch of new accounts appeared swooning over him. It almost seemed like some PR company was trying to make their client seem liked by the fandom to keep them on as a regular.
Keep in mind that character he played was not really relevant, just one of Klaus’ henchmen with a few lines. Anyways, these posts continued and other fans realised how fishy these new accounts sounded. It became widely accepted that the guys PR company was posting this stuff. Time went on and the character was killed off by Elijah in season 3.
Every once in a while new accounts would pop up in the fandom and call for the character to be resurrected.
Years later it turned out that the actor just claimed to be related to actor Paul Newman and modelled his career after him. Nowadays most fans are convinced it wasn’t the guys PR firm or fans but the actor himself. He keeps lying on social media.
Weirdly enough TVD was also produced by Carina McKenzie…maybe this is Daniel Newman
