Pretty Peeps!
I'm sure I don't need to do picspirations at this point but I wanted to make the ages and time periods they grew up in clear. These are the ages when the story starts in 1998.
Luce Grace (29; Born 1969) and Alex Haley (25; Born 1973)
I think in the comments of Nigh Out someone called Luce a Baby Boomer but they are both Gen X'ers! It's hard to find a specific Luce-spiration but I love Richard Madden's little grey streak. I know Lucely haven't interacted "on page" much but you all know where this is going...
Jean Dory, 40 (1958) Minnow Dory, 31 (1967) Kenneth Maxwell, 46 (1952) Sara Grace, 45 (1953)
I think Frances McDormand gets my Sara expression perfectly. Transporting her life to the1960s America is interesting in ways I don't do much with.
The closest Maxwell inspy I've had is the elusive clean shaven Joe Mangienello. Did I intentionally change Maxwell's age so he would have the Vietnam War as backstory ? Yes. After seeing Tiger King I can see Maxwell as kind of Jeff Lowe-y. He's also a little Joe Exotic-y too because he's in a relationship with someone barely out of high school.

Zacharias Washington, 19 (Born: 1977) and Charlotte Dory 20 (Born:1978)
These are my Xillenials. I realize Rias hasn't been mentioned but he was mentioned in SWM so we know he exists in this world. This Rias inspy is a Kpop member who is not Japanese but reminds me of Rias.
Dear Lile
CP!Shawna: Wow, it's really embarrassing how Lile is going through your old comments and reading your old whining
SHV: Yeah, but I like the gesture. Maybe I'll post a comment of hers I can relate to. Like this one:
I think this is from GWOSM finale ? I have nothing else planned after Years at the moment and I'm trying to be okay with that but...it's hard. I don't even remember what having unwritten story ideas feels like anymore ?
The Most SFW Research on the Adult Entertainment Industry
AEX is based on the Adult Video News (AVN) Expo.
My research was mostly adult actor AMAs on Reddit and a 1998 essay by David Foster Wallace where he embedded at the AVN Expo. IDK how true his essay is, it sort of reeks of misogyny (which I'm sure is plentiful in the industry) but between those two items and Wikipedia I kind of put something together. A LOT OF WHAT I'M WRITING IS 100% MADE UP THOUGH.
The adult industry is VERY different now than in the 90s-00s and I'll get into it a little bit as the serial moves forward. I will say it is very hard to find anything from the gay adult entertainment perspective. 1998 is the first year they awarded gay performers and I would have loved Wallace to get into that in the essay.
Also, all the men in adult entertainment are called performers and women are called starlets. I think that seeped into my writing but I tried to take it out.
Years 2
Alex Haley has been in a 7 year relationship with Kenneth Maxwell, a producer for Harmony Entertainment. They are attending the Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas together. On the expo floor Haley runs into Jean Dory, the older brother of his former roommate who tells him about his new company called Virtue. We're still in 1998...
