THIS IS AWESOME.
How did I genuinely not know this existed? I just watched all three episodes back-to-back. What an AMAZING project, what an incredible thing to have as a part of our fandom!
(aaaaaand they have tumblr, of course they do, hahaha: otp-the-show)
Here’s the synopsis:
Sheila is a newly single mom in the middle of a nasty divorce; Jeremy is a teenage child actor who is ready to move on from show business and his manager…who happens to be his mother.
This unlikely pairing has one thing in common…they love fan fiction, specifically Hobbit fan fiction.
And the smuttier the better.
When Sheila needs help paying the rent and Jeremy needs a new place to live, moving in together seems like the logical solution. They’ll be able to escape their real-life issues, plus have loads of time to work on winning the “Hobbit for All Seasons” online writing competition.
What could go wrong?
Series One is complete. But they need some funding to produce a second series, and hot damn do I want more. i love sheila i adore her omfg you precious exploding cinnamon roll
Here’s the kickstarter! There’s 11 days to go, and they’re nearly half-way to the goal of $10K.
Fans creating stories for and about fans, ladies and jellyspoons – how brilliant is that!!
