  1. The Strongest Link True to her word, Ronda let the emotional teenager have a few moments alone before he returned to the green room, and it made a world of difference. It must have been all the pressure, stress and tension that came from being on the set. With some peace and quiet away from the Hostess and the others, Lance was able to find himself again. It was easy to get lost out there, trying to decipher friend from foe and answering the broadest range of questions at a rapid-fire

    Round Seven

    HONEY I laughed out loud embarrassingly loud when I saw this! I wish I used that haha thank yooou! I can't have things nice & uncomplicated. Are they dumb or is the storywriting just poor? Find out when we return to The Weakest Link: Teenage Triumphs Edition! Heh yeah, so rarely do the strongest people actually make it to the final two Lance never stays down for long! And Casey? Maybe she'll get hit by a truck on the way home Thank you for the comments everyone! ❤️ Much appreciated. The final chapter will be up tomorrow morning (for me!)

    Round Six

    He's doing very well! I suppose you'll have to find out! It does! The game is cruel and unfair. I know if I were in her position I would have dropped a few F & C bombs that would have to be edited out. 😅 Let's find out together! ❤️ Thanks everybody!
  4. Round Seven Mum and Dad had been so well behaved tonight. Lance was prone to embarrassment at their complete lack of shame, but they'd promised they wouldn't humiliate their son, and they had stuck to their word. No shouting, no swearing and no talking smack to the other contestants and their families. They'd sat there patiently and given their son nothing but support and praise from afar, and as he turned around and grinned at them, they gave him an animated wave. He turned back, and
  5. Round Six Lance could definitely have used an extended intermission, yet between every round, he barely had enough time to regain his focus. Crew members spent a mere couple of minutes resetting cameras and taking away voting boards. He looked back at the faces almost hidden in the darkness and excitedly waved, getting attention from not just his own parents, but surrounding people as well. They grinned and waved back, people he'd never met in his life, and it made him feel fuzzy insid

    Round Five

    He is definitely doing better than he gave himself credit for! Does Grace recognise that? 😶 Thanks for commenting!

    Round Five

    Yes! But did she vote him off because they were never plotting together or to cover herself when she was called out on it? The things Lance doesn't know will shock you! It's getting to the late, crucial stages of the game and it never hurts to have support from another player! Thanks guys! ❤️ Not long to go now!
  8. Round Five "Round five! Of a possible twenty thousand pounds, our teenage triumphs have managed to bank only ten thousand, nine hundred and fifty pounds." That's more than half! If they continued at that pace, averaging half of the total, that would mean Lance could potentially walk out of the studio with twenty-five thousand pounds. The possibilities flashed through his mind. It would certainly be the kick-starter he needed to take his career to the next level. He wouldn't ha

    Round Four

    🤔 Good question! Well she wasn't exactly under threat of elimination in this particular round, but she is certainly living on borrowed time! Do you think she and Jamie are voting tactically? Yes! Only three votes to go now! Fine, I'll just change the winner 😡 Thanks everybody!
  10. Round Four Lance gently brushed the one lock of hair that he'd dyed bright pink away from his face. With his clasp mirror safe in Mum's bag, all he could do was hope that his hair was behaving itself. The Hostess cleared her throat, then a few seconds later, she spoke. "Round four! You've eliminated three so-called weakest links, so we are left with just six players, and we're taking another ten seconds off the clock, so you have only two and a half minutes. But, before you despai

    Round Two

    hahaha I didn't feel right referencing her directly by name, but yeah, that's the voice I hear too! She can be a bit of a jump scare 😅 I'm glad you're enjoying it! Thanks for taking the time to react & comment! ❤️

    Round Three

    lol I think I'm sensing a theme here! Thanks guys ❤️
  13. Round Three The Hostess wasted no time in getting down to business. "Round three. You've managed to bank a disappointing six thousand, eight hundred and fifty pounds from a possible ten thousand." That doesn't sound at all disappointing to me. "We're down to seven players and we're taking ten seconds off your time, but not to worry, you still have Casey, the absolutely essential novelist who believes she has a wealth of knowledge, and Grace, Britain's brightest and youngest kn

    Round Two

    Haha thank you! If they want a show, Lance will give them a show! 😛 I don't want to pick favourites out of my characters, but Lance is definitely a contender! Thank you very much! It's good to know that my efforts haven't been in vain I'm doing very well! I hope the same for you x Terrific! Six more to go indeed thank you!
  15. Round Two Lance had hoped for a break between rounds, but it didn't take much more than ninety seconds for the production crew and the Hostess to be locked, loaded and ready to fire. Dad blew him a kiss when he looked behind him, and he waved excitedly. He didn't go home first. That was an achievement in itself! But when up against such strong contenders, how long could he hope to remain in the game? I got all three questions right last round, he reminded himself. I can do this. I

    Round One

    Aw thank you I wasn't sure if a game show could be translated properly into a manuscript, but I'm glad it did! Hehe I have that suspicion as well! From what I found in my research, a lot of it gets cut due to time restraints - some people were upset that all their best zingers got left out. Yeah I won't disagree at all - that's probably why (to my knowledge) there was never a real episode that featured anyone under eighteen. In my fictional world, everyone is well aware of the show's format and consented to take a few shots to the ego in exchange for exposure and a chance to win money. Thank you very much! I haven't been able to write in a long time, so that's terrific praise 😊
  17. Thanks! It's good to be back! I hope it is indeed Heh yeah, I've been watching reruns recently! I hope the next chapter is worth the read. Thank you! More is ready for you! Should be updating this every other day.
  18. Round One "Start the clock." Lance's heart pounded in his chest as the Hostess turned her podium to face Alyssa MacIntosh, the pop singer who would answer the first question. The game was officially underway. "Alyssa, which four-letter word denotes a celebrity from the world of entertainment or a celestial body seen as a twinkling light in the night sky?" She looked down as she thought about her answer. "A star?" "Correct," the Hostess pointed next towards Grace. Lan
  19. The Weakest Link "I still can't believe we're going to be on telly!" Dad rubbed his hands together in giddy excitement that had steadily grown in the last few weeks. "Well, you better start believing it. We can't have you carrying on the whole night," Mum chastised him, waddling uncomfortably in her brand new heels, bought just for this very night. "Lance doesn't need to worry about you when he's busy answering questions and winning money." "Alright!" Dad whined, turning aroun
  20. In 2012, nine gifted teenagers arrive seek to win up to fifty thousand pounds for themselves and for charity by appearing on a special edition of The Weakest Link. An athlete, a pop singer, an academic genius, a television actor, a charity founder, a published novelist, an app developer, a theatre actress and Lance Lovecraft, a professional dancer. Only one can win, but none of the little treasures play to lose.

    Turnaround

    That was wholesome as f**k! ❤️ Alex is making some really good choices & my perfect sweetheart Jeremy is standing by him no matter what 🤩 I, of course, adored the conversation Alex had with his parents. It was sincere and relatable and just lovely! Thank you so much for the chapter! It was worth the wait.

    Rags

    When Seth went to sleep, he was drunk, miserable and lonely. When he woke, none of that was relevant. Chip and Glenn didn't exist. They were part of the seven hundred and twenty-eight obstacles. Seth only needed to outlast twenty-four of them personally. He could put his faith in Natalie, the Ryder twins and other Poker giants to exterminate the others. Still, though he remained proud of his stance that Poker wasn't personal, he hoped to run into a few specific people before the tournament came

    Epilogue

    Aw that's the highest praise! ❤️ I'm so glad you enjoyed it, and doing justice to those who need help is very important to me! Good luck with whatever you decide to do! 😘 Thank you so much!

    Aw thank you so very much! ❤️ You might just have made my night! Admirer X was supposed to be a one-off, but I couldn't resist coming to my boarding boys! Have a terrific day ❤️

    Menorah

    Following a delightful pasta dinner and an overindulgence of icecream, Elijah retired to the common room, determined to take a break from studying for his exams and relax for a while. He had a favourite spot on the couch, and before he'd even managed to open up his novel to his bookmark, Tiger sat down on the other side, shooting a gorgeous smile. Elijah blushed merrily, making sure to look away from the handsome Aboriginal teenager. As he looked down his book, Tiger slipped a folded paper note
