Your All-Access Pass to Hollywood ... FREE!!

What price would you pay for fame?

The reaction to "Candyland" from readers has been more than hoped for; for weeks now, with the release of each new episode, blush-worthy compliments speak of everything from the twists in plot, cynical humor, over-the-top storylines, and especially readers' loathing for Candace or seriously undying love of Hunter, Dominic, Zoe, Teak, Neo and other characters. The outpouring has been great enough, in fact, it's proved to us that the series - especially if it's going to evolve into the actual cable television show it deserves to be - needs the widest audience possible backing it!

Which is why "Candyland" is now absolutely FREE! On the upper left-hand corner of this page, anyone who can access this page can - with one click - catch up from the very beginning on this TV-series-for-readers that details the hopes, dreams, and harsh realities of those who come from around the country (and world) pursuing fame and celebrity in Los Angeles.

If you do like what you read and wish to show your support, please click the link on the left and make a small donation to help keep the series going! No support is too small; it all adds up fast AND continues guaranteeing you a new episode every Friday. (Note: Previous subscribers to "Candyland" will remain one week ahead of those reading the series here, as our way of saying thanks!)

Most importantly, please help spread the word. Share this blog link, the episodes, this world of fame and misfortune, and talk talk talk about it with anyone you think might enjoy Candace and company, as well; WORD OF MOUTH is our best chance of getting on the air!

So thank you, God Bless, and now stop reading this when you've got episodes to read! We still have a long road to travel, and thanks so much for joining the journey!

Don

(NOTE: While by no means X-rated, "Candyland" is intended for readers 18+ who are okay with reading material featuring adult language and situations; if that's not you, you've been warned!)

SUPPORT LGBT ARTISTS!

"Candyland" is free for anyone to enjoy, but it doesn't happen by itself; turning out an episode of the saga of Candace & Company every week for nine months is beyond rewarding, though also serious work as more characters come aboard, the plot thickens, and I strive to share this private, behind-the-scenes world with you every week.

So if you like what you read and want to help ensure "Candyland" gets to its Christmas Day finale, please show your support for this LGBT writer and the characters you're growing to love by clicking "DONATE" above, so you can continue to enjoy what I hope will be the best television series you may ever read. Our goal, to cover operating costs through December, is just $3,500 - so if you like the series and support gay artists and want to help get this on Showtime, make your voice heard today and know that YOU were a part of our success!

What is "Candyland"?

WHAT IS "CANDYLAND"? "Candyland is a unique writing experiment - a "TV series for readers" that delivers a new episode every week for 36 weeks, much like your favorite television show,(only with a much longer season) - but in narrative format, like a novel, for those more used to reading that style.

The central character, hovering over all the proceedings, is Hollywood talent agent Candace Gray, owner of The Gray Group, a woman who in just three years has become one of the most powerful players in the entertainment industry, even if not always by the most ethical means. She also owns Candyland, an exclusive, members-only nightclub-playground for the rich and famous, where if you're not "in" you don't have a prayer of getting in ... but even inside the walls of Candyland itself a much grittier, even sinister club resides, whom few know about. A club with an even more exclusive membership roster consisting of those who have it all ... yet desire to go even beyond that.

But the real story of "Candyland" involves those who orbit Candace and her world; the talented, attractive, young, sometimes desperate people who flock by the thousands to Los Angeles every year, full of big dreams and bigger hopes. THEYare the kind of actors I grew to respect and admire while I lived in Los Angeles - those who struggle and starve and go without food or warm clothes in the hopes that one day they'll be noticed. It's their stories I hope to tell, via the characters who lie within these episodes, and I only hope you enjoy the ride. Or, if nothing else, will afterward understand a little better all the wild, incredible, sometimes even horrific things that can happen, long before your now-favorite actor found his or her way to the red carpet.
