I just wanted folks to know that Kimmi's earlier points about MojaveJoe's "The Actor" series are right on. It is an outstanding series!
Since I have no standing as a moderator, but am a First Rank Polar Bear (and about as rank as you can get), I wanted to award that series The Official Polar Bear "Seal" of Approval!
You can find the first episode (not chapter 1):

Greetings Rumpalonians and Rumplistas!
I have never had my own seal before, let alone such an approving seal! My deepest thanks to the academy, and to the Polar Bear known as James!
If I may, the story of mine he mentioned above is a romance with barely any objectionable sex in it, but plenty of regular sex, plus some drama, love, conflict, and grizzly bears! My writing partner, ex-lushie Melanieatplay, and I were trying to create something that read like a Netflix mini-series. It’s got six episodes and is scoring pretty well. Go binge it! See if I earned the entire seal of approval, or maybe it’s just a penguin 🐧.
Fun Fact: KimmiBeGood was a “test reader” and made some contributions to the finished product. Often they were in the form of “Don’t fuck this up, Jim,” but that was very helpful.
Thank you Mr. Polar Bear for this great honor.
