Living the dream, to be shrunk in a backyard or a lawn or something (HISTK brainrot is commencing)

Welcome to Stør’s worst nightmare 😃🫠😟😨

🍯Honey I shrunk the kids + The Biggest Heart 🤎

Everytime Stør finds out he’s grown, even a bit, he has nightmares he’ll keep growing… and growing… and growing…

No one knows how big Stør will get… he’s constantly afraid he’ll grow too big that his friends and family will be too small for him to see anymore. That he’ll accidentally hurt or kill someone. He fears being alone and rejected by people due to his giant size. 🥲

the fact that "reanimator" and "bride of reanimator" share the same writers/directors as "honey i shrunk the kids" just blows my fucking mind

*FRANTICALLY SCRAMBLES IN.*

Please answer -huff- this!! Hurry!! They're Coming-!!

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh?

AND HAVE A SWELL DAY, PEEP!

CLOWN HAS ARRIVED

Most of my stuff tends to lean pretty heavy on the super sappy or heavy unwilling side of things so I don’t have a ton of silly stuff I’ve written, but! This little exchange in my fic Sunset Warmth always makes me laugh:

     Crutchie rolled his eyes and jabbed the stomach wall with his elbow, a snort of laughter escaping as he did so. “Oh yeah, course that was the reason. The famous Jack Kelly always thinks with his stomach and not his brains after all.” 

     There was a gasp and a soft thud as Jack clutched at his heart in mock offense. “Oh I’m crushed! You wound me Crutch, you really do.” He moaned dramatically. “I don’t think I shall ever recover from such an insult.”

And I have this little quip from a HIStK fic that I wrote from a friend that makes me giggle sometimes as well:

     “Alright fine, you know what? You can eat me if it will help hold you over until you’re done. Then you’re letting me out and doing the laundry. Deal?” 

Thanks for the ask and have a fantastic day :)

Struggling to understand the clear delineation between a pitch and a log-line. Another literary (book) agent was adamant they are not the same, while some professionals on their sites say they are basically one and the same. [To be fair, these sites are more focused on movie/TV scripts.]Your take on this will be helpful. My focus is MG novels

I mean -- they are a quite similar thing in function, but they aren't ACTUALLY the same thing, and they are used in different contexts.

If your focus is MG novels, IMO, you don't really need to worry about a "log line." That's a film thing. But it wouldn't hurt you to know, so here ya go:

A pitch (whether verbal or written) can be a few lines, a paragraph, whatever. (In your query letter, the "pitch" is the section of the query where you are talking about what your book is about, but there are other places you might utilize a pitch as well. Like the back of your book is often essentially a pitch.)

A log line is a sentance that says what your concept is in a nutshell. A line. ONE. Not a paragraph. Not a synopsis. ONE LINE. ONE SINGULAR SENSATION. It is used pretty much exclusively when pitching for film / screenplays. I don't think a lot of agents or publishers would request it by this name.

An "elevator pitch" or "one-sentence pitch" is essentially the same thing as a log-line, just the nutshell version of your pitch, but used in pretty much any other context BESIDES pitching for film/screenplays. Query forms sometimes ask for the one-sentence pitch in addition to your regular query. If you are on the spot at a cocktail party (or in an elevator!) and need to just say what your book is about quickly, use the elevator pitch.

HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS logline / elevator pitch / one-sentence pitch: "When a nerdy scientist builds a shrink ray and accidentally zaps his own kids to the size of ants, he has until 5pm to figure out how to protect them from the neighborhood cats AND how to un-shrink them, or he'll have to explain the fiasco to his wife."

HISTK pitch: "When a nerdy scientist lives out his wildest dreams and builds a working shrink-ray, he's thrilled. When he realizes he doesn't know how to reverse the shrinkage, he's less thrilled. And when he accidentally zaps his own kids to the size of ants, he realizes he's in big trouble. The kids are lost in the grass, first of all, and the neighborhood cats are a little TOO excited about it. Also, if he can't un-shrink them in time for dinner, he's going to have to explain the fiasco to his wife, and she is NOT gonna be pleased."

(Obviously I haven't seen that movie in 30 years so this is probably not accurate, just a random example, but maybe you get the picture?)

Texture is what I miss the most in the majority of Gt media...how it's pictured in Arrietty or HISTK (bring back giant sets and props!)

i love the idea of *texture* in size scenarios.

the feel of everything crumbling around your touch as you grow talker and taller.

crossing deep rivers as a giant and theres a tickle of fish slapping you as they swim with the swift current

being able to shower in waterfalls, feeling the rushing water soak you

on the other hand…

being engulfed in a super fuzzy fabric or rug and having to push fibers out of the way to try and find your way out

ridges and wrinkles of skin, lighting on fire beneath your touch

feeling huge snowflakes hit you and begin to bog you down in weight

feel free to add on more texture g/t examples 🤌

OMG even for that Grounded has HISTK easter eggs!!??

Source: IMDb trivia

There were five kids!!!! (Grounded game)

😱😭

So, this is a little Easter egg. But near the house where all the spiders are, there is this tiny little shelter with a note. It's written by kid number five. They (it doesn't mention gender) woke before the other four and could not wake them up, so they went out alone. I imagine they headed to the house. (It makes logical sense.) But they got eaten by spiders.

It's sad!!!

Now I have to write a story where they get saved, lol. XD
