it's always extremely funny when we rewatch ben 10 bc our zs'skayr fictive just complains the entire time

[animeomegas]

you're so right about shika reacting like that, I totally agree!!!

I love the fact that the supernatural are known in your novella, that's so uncommon for books like that and I love it! the vampiric animals is a really cool and original idea omg I can't imagine vampire cats, they're so chaotic already, add vampirism to it??? they would rule the world and I wouldn't complain. the implied conversion of the MC though?!?!?!? I love it, it would definitely be me, who would say no to being a vampire????? I would love to read it 😭😭

you got me with the mystery part of your other story, I'm obsessed with that. I also love it when authors use classic tropes but switch the characters around, it makes it so fun! we almost never get playboy MCs either, so that's also super cool!! and the fact that they help each other heal from their issues and grow? &? $? $? I bet I would cry reading that novel but I would love it 100%

AMY????? FIRST????? THAT IS SO COOL I'M SO PROUD OF YOUUU. CONGRATULATIONS OMGGGGGG!!!!!!!! TELL ME YOU CELEBRATED OR SOMETHING! '! &!! & &

how bad is it to get sick during a trip? that's so sad!! also YES I recommend them, I didn't watch them all but I watched a recap and they look cool, it's a classic whodunit and the murders are brutal at times. there's 6 movies in total!! the 6th was released this year and jenna ortega is a mc, I love her. she also played as Wednesday last year and she's such a good actress. I'll definitely check out happy death day after I finish scream 6!!! <3333 also thank you for your congratulations you're very sweet

Yes! I really wanted to include some of the societal impacts of the supernatural in my book, like my MC being a lecturer in Supernatural Studies. One of her classes is in the book, so you'll get to learn a little about how the Black Death affected vampire clans in London :D

And vampiric animals, yes I wanted to include one, so there is one haha. The process is much trickier than with turning a human into a vampire and it takes much longer, so there aren't many around. Most big clans have one though.

MC doesn't get turned in the book, but it is directly expected and referenced that they will be at some point soon.

As for the novel, yes, I switched it because I thought it'd be very cool to get the playboy's inner monologue. The first parts of the novel include, along with the mystery, a lot of the MC slowly focusing more and more on the male lead and forgetting about flirting with others. Let's just say that MC's friends are sick of hearing them give a play-by-play of what the male lead ate at dinner, and then denying that they're interested in him as anything more than a bit of fun lol.

As for the mystery plot... It's my first time writing a proper one, but I'm having a lot of fun and I think it's a decent one, but we'll see haha.

Haha, I didn't celebrate no, because results were so delayed from the strikes, I only just found out the marks and idk, I'm probably going to get something tasty as a celebration at some point :D Thank you though!!!!! You're so sweet!!!! <333333

I was pretty sick in Tokyo, but it was a combination of the flight, which I predicted would happen because it always does, and then also a really heavy workload while there. I lost 9 lbs in ten days because of how much walking I had to do and I the fact that I was too ill to eat more than two apples over three days. It was a shame, but that's what happens when you're in a big group: you can't tailor the trip to your individual needs like needing to rest after a 14 hour flight and two hour queue at customs XD I still had fun though!

And oh, I didn't know Scream films were who dunnits, that's awesome, I'll put them on my list of things to check out! Thanks for the recommendation!!

And you more than deserve my congratulations for surviving exams hehe

Minnesota Fringe Festival 2018

This always falls around the time of my BFF’s birthday, and we’ve been attending for at least 9 years. We think this might be the 10th anniversary of ever attending? We are old and have bad memories. Also we are old and blindsided by Beyoncé/Jay-Z concerts. Plus there is a lot of day drinking, but I am pretty sure it’s the “old” part that is playing with our timeline.  In many ways, the festival itself has gotten better and better each year we’ve been going. The move from button and punchcard to day passes and tokens has made queueing up a lot more efficient, and it COULD promote taking more chances on more things, except that the website has gotten steadily more terrible since the halcyon days of the Kitty rating system.  

In years past, we could look up our old reviews to refresh our memories about companies, writers, and performers we’d enjoyed. That went by the wayside a couple of years ago. This year, in addition to the site being INCREDIBLY slow and having a bad interface (the slider rating system, which defaults to “5,” which translates into 2.5 stars out of 5 is just . . . Inner Stage Manager will never be over how terrible that is), the ability to click on an actor/writer/performer’s name to see what else they were in disappeared and we had to recreate accounts from scratch. As a result, we stuck almost entirely to our known quantities and didn’t do a lot of exploring, which is a bit of a bummer. The slider rating system

We’re also mourning the loss of the encore performances in favor of the confusing new “Golden Lanyard “ awards. I assume there’s some kind of reasoning behind the elimination of the last-night encores (maybe all shows get an extra scheduled performance?), but on the surface, it seems like a loss. 

Anyway, here are the 10 plays we ere able to hit this year. 

We were shut out of one we really wanted to see, Not Fair, My Lady, which was not only sad because it meant we didn’t see something Shanan Custer was involved with (and we ALWAYS see ALL the things Shanan Custer is involved with), but they were also selling buttons to benefit the League of Professional Theatre Women, so I just tossed a donation their way. 

Our first play was one of my choices. I have unholy love for Winnie the Pooh: 

Company: Fearless Comedy Productions

Show: Deep in The 100 Acre Woods: A "Pooh"-dunnit?

Venue: Minnsky Theatre

Reviewed Aug 05, 2018

I gave this three stars

Side note: This was a new (to us, anyway) venue. Beautiful lobby. The space is a brick-walled, very deep black box theater. Quite flexible for performance, probably, but the acoustics are a challenge. 

Loving, twisted homage There’s a lot of obvious love here from the creators, and much of the cast is quite good. The play itself has a lot of lag in places, and not everyone has a feel for the rapid-fire noir dialogue. But the But the costumes are great, and the genre mash-up works surprisingly well.

Second up was this year’s iteration of something we always see, and it’s always a highlight. This year, I think, was the best we’ve seen. 

Company: Weggel-Reed Productions

Show: Couple Fight: The Musical!

Venue: Rarig Center Thrust

Reviewed Aug 05, 2018

This was, no brainer, 5 stars, though I had my first panic attack that I’d accidentally given it 2.5 stars. 

Although one should love all one’s theater bebes equally, we first saw Allison Witham in this, and OMG, Michael Rogers and Alex Van Loh.  I SO wish we’d had a chance to catch their other show https://www.minnesotafringe.org/2018-show-information/now-we-see-it

The Battle Over The Bulge. Couple fight is always a Fringe Highlight, but they’ve outdone themselves this year. The diversity of styles, fights, and couples keeps the show fresh and interesting from start to finish. ‘Rinth 4-Evah.

Third (I think) was a Shanan Custer show that was supposed to be a two-woman show. 

Company: Custer & Schmidt 

Show: Our Best Life

Venue: Rarig Center Thrust

Reviewed Aug 05, 2018

Four and a half stars for this one. 

Shanan’s partner in crime had to bow out very shortly before Fringe. Although I’m sure she had no desire to test the theory, this demonstrates that an hour of Shanan flies by. I also wonder if she even remembers her turn on @josephscrimshaw‘s Obsessed Podcast as Special Agent Nancy Anderson, or if our occasional references to it make her worry about stalkers. (Don’t NextDoor us, Shanan.) 

Special Agent Nancy Anderson’s one-woman show. I am always carrying a watermelon to any Shanan Custer show, so although a surprise solo show was surely a nightmare for her, it was a decided delight for me. Thanks for not making it weird when the four of us in the back row gasped with fannish glee at the big finish. I’d only heard about it from friends and never dreamed I’d live it!

Fourth (or maybe third), was a Special Request from the Menfolk. 

Company: Grand Island Theatre Show: Hamlet, but Hamlet's a Chicken Venue: Minnsky Theatre

Reviewed Aug 05, 2018

Four and a half stars for this. 

I can’t stress how good this was. It obviously could have been a one-joke Fringe nightmare that never advanced its original, absurd concept, but far from it, this is one of the smartest versions of Hamlet itself that I’ve ever seen. 

No fowl puns here. This is wonderfully done on a number of levels. The handful of experimental misses are more than made up for by excellent “straight” performances that let the absurdity speak for itself.

Fifth was another from our “must-see” stable, coming as it does from Ghoulish Delights. 

Company: Ghoulish Delights, LLC

Show: The Screaming Skull

Venue: Rarig Center Thrust

Four stars for this. 

Very interesting to see Eric Webster crush it in a spooky dramatic role! 

Good spookening. The staging (sound effects and lighting) are great (though a downstage cover on the “fireplace” would have minimized its tendency to distract). Webster’s performance is excellent, though as others have commented, it might’ve needed a bit of trimming.

Sixth, another must-see for us. (I have these out of order now, but I’m too lazy to change—this one came AFTER Blood Nocturne and A Justice League of Their Own)

Company: Comedy Suitcase

Show: Slapdash Panic: Comedy Suitcase ended up in the Fringe Festival with 3 weeks notice and no show!

Venue: Strike Theater

Four stars for this. 

What would Fringe be without Joshua English Scrimshaw giving Inner Stage Manager a heart attack? NOTHING, that’s what. 

Why do they hate inner stage manager? Patchwork, as promised, but they, of course, do a lot with a little. Enjoyed the creative recycling (that sounds Minnesota nice, but I mean it), and the peek behind the curtain of their process. The radio play was especially good (sorry/not sorry, Levi). Inner Stage Manager remains deeply skeptical of these two and their dangerous antics. 

Seventh—This was, I think, a rare “cold pick,” but boy howdy are we lucky we did pick it! 

Company: The Winding Sheet Outfit

Show: Blood Nocturne

Venue: Southern Theater

Five stars. I needed more stars for this one. So. many. more. stars. 

The staging of this was just incredible, on top of the content being superb. I would see anything else from this company in a heartbeat. 

Masterfully done. This is a show that’s fantastic in the short format, yet still makes one wish to see it in long form. The performers were amazing, the writing was excellent (and beautifully paced), the mix of narrative, playing with narrative devices, and music was just perfect. A definite must see.

Eighth—again from the stable! Gotta see the Josh Carson stuff. 

Company: Mainly Me Productions

Show: A Justice League of Their Own

Venue: Theatre in the Round

Four and a half stars. 

This show needed many Amens in addition to stars. AMEN. A treat to see Allison Witham here, too! 

Persist! The expected laugh riot from Josh Carson, though this one is a standout, with a concept that holds up well all the way through the end. The cast is great here, too. The only issue is the vocal challenges of Theater in the Round, especially with a joke-packed script and an enthusiastic audience.

Ninth—Old Timey Radio Drama with our favorites? Yes, please. 

Company: Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society

Show: The Mysterious Old Radio Listening Society Versus the Nazis

Four and a half stars. 

Nazi punching: Necessary and cathartic. 

My Bad Guy Has a First Name . . .Two deep-dive gems, executed deftly by an accomplished cast. I love these shows, as a rule, and I particularly liked these two Nazi-smashing pieces for our times. I especially appreciate the inclusion of contextualizing material, even in the short Fringe format.

Tenth—A content-based gamble. 

Company: FredPictures

Show: The Breakfast Club: The Musical!

Venue: Southern Theater

Reviewed Aug 08, 2018

Three stars here. 

This was an endeavor that just kind of flopped for us. I think I probably liked it best out of our group, but that was mostly based on its ambition, rather than its execution. 

Homage bleeding into imitation. There’s obviously a lot of love poured into this, and the cast does a great job of encapsulating their characters. However, this is rather stylistically off-putting. The piped in music just barely supports the singing (and again, the cast deserves a lot of credit for executing as well as they did); the highly repetitive lyrics get into almost baroque opera territory, making for a very odd combination. Although this advertises itself in the program and pre-show as “parody,” it’s more of an abridged version of the screenplay set to some questionable music. What’s enjoyable about it stems from the affection from both the adaptor and the cast.
