Gossip Girl's third season premiere this Monday will give fan a chance to hit the reset button on the "who on Gossip Girl is doing what to whom" part of their brains. To reduce any further cranial atrophy due to inactivity in the Gossip Girl cortex, I came up with a solution.Yesterday I postato part one of a three part interview with Josh Safran, writer and co-executive producer of Gossip Girl, where he addressed the internet leak of Chuck's man-on-man kiss, the responsibility he feels Scrivere gay-themed storylines, and better ways to play cat and topo, mouse with journalists and bloggers trolling for scoops.Today's post, part two of my interview, is all about the characters: their romances, their friendships, their ascents to power, their secrets, and how, even after all the shenanigans they've pulled, the writers are still able to create untried storylines for them.
Adrienne Gruben: How do te keep each character's storyline fresh?
Josh Safran: There's always a little bit of a worry, like, "Has Serena done too much? Is there anything left for Chuck to do since it seems he's done everything?" The fact of the matter is, there is always more. We surprise ourselves with how much story there is still to tell with these characters. I Amore them. I think Cecily did a great job creating them in the books. I think Stephanie and Josh did a great job of creating them for the series. I think they constantly expand.
AG: So let's talk about platonic and romantic relationships. What about Dan and Serena?
JS: I'll say this because Stephanie detto it somewhere else: this season isn't about Dan and Serena as a couple.
AG: da the end of season two, te really got the sense that they were platonic. There were no longing glances o Serena hanging on Dan's every word.
JS: That is a real testament to what great actors we have on the show. These are two people who in real life are a great couple, and yet, on screen, te believe that they are just friends, that they are no longer in a relationship.
AG: Not to pander, but they practically seem like siblings, in a good way. It's remarkable.
JS: That's what I'm saying. These actors are all so good, and I know everyone says that about the mostra they work on, but our cast is just simply amazing.
AG: Let's talk about the female friendships and the relationships between mothers and daughters. The two episodes where I cried were "The Serena Also Rises" and "Valley Girls". Those episodes mined the mechanics of both those kinds of relationships. I think on Gossip Girl, like in real life, they can have some of the same intensity as romantic relationships.
JS: Serena and Blair are the central relationship of the show. They always have been, and always will be. secondo to that are the friendships and family relationships across the board. We try to write from that theme, although it isn't always recognizable on first glance. "Valley Girls," for instance, was about mothers and daughters, female friendships, and how they grow and change and deepen through surprising circumstances. In "The Serena Always Rises" when Serena told Blair to step out of her light, leading into their catfight the successivo episode, a lot of the Scrivere of that relationship and its issues came from a very personal place for the writers, myself included. It doesn't matter that I'm not a teenage girl. The guys on the staff get female relationships, and the girls get things like Nate and Dan's bromance. We're good in each other's skins. This season, with Serena and Blair in different places, their friendship might be tested. But their bond is always so strong underneath. It's funny, at the very beginning, people talked about how Blair was dark and Serena was light, but as we've shown, they each have both. Which is universal. And it's some of this stuff that we're talking about that makes me hope people will still be talking about these characters in ten years, like they do about Angela and Rayanne from My So-Called Life, o Rory and Lorelei from Gilmore Girls.
AG: Let's talk about a few of the characters who provided big surprises at the end of last season. I thought Georgina's switch from being spiritual to recitazione like her old self was a little drastic. It was like "Boom! I'm spiritual! Boom. I'm not!"
JS: Just like a lot of people's relationship to religion, it's più complicated than that. All I'm saying is wait and see because her relationship with [Jesus] is not that black and white. And as for Michelle, I wish we could clone her because she is on Mercy this season. We just Amore having Georgina around. The range of her character, from psycho b*tch in season one to "saved" in season two -- and te believe both of them completely -- is testament to both Michelle as an actress and Georgina as a character. She's a blast to write.
AG: Did te research the Gesù camp?
JS: Leila Gerstein, the writer of that episode, did. And she was the one who came up with the "OMJC" phrase, which I thought was genius. All that, and she's a nice Jewish girl from New York.
AG: With Jenny, te will be ping-ponging back and forth between college and Constance, since Jenny is now queen. da the way, Jenny assuming Blair's queendom surprised me since she is an outsider and she and Blair had that altercation, actually a history of them. Plus for a moment we thought she was going to sell Blair down the river with that piece of gossip.
JS: te know, as Stephanie says, Constance is a major part of Gossip Girl. Eric and Jenny are now the age that Serena and Blair were when they first started. Jenny is going to be a different kind of Queen than Blair, and that is what is going to make that story not a retread of Blair's queendom in seasons one and two. And continuing on from finding people in different places than when we left them, that's also true where Jenny and Eric are concerned. She's Queen -- but not exactly comfortable with it.
AG: What about the relationship between Dorota and Blair? Is their current relationship, the camaraderie, the fact that they are co-conspirators, what te had originally intended?
JS: When Dorota is introduced in the secondo episode of season one, te watch Blair talk to her as if she's one of Blair's parents. Their relationship just came out that way. Incidentally, Zuzanna [the actress who plays Dorota] doesn't have an accent, but her parents are from Poland. She mimics their accent. We Amore Scrivere the dynamic between Dorota and Blair.
AG: I Amore Vanessa, but I feel like because she had a crush on Dan for 14 seconds, and during those 14 seconds, Serena perceived her as a threat, there is a small, but vocal contingent that won't allow themselves to see how great she is; they won't let it go.
JS: That is funny to me, especially when te think of everything that Blair and Chuck, o whoever else, has done. I guess there is that group that felt very protective of [Dan and Serena's] relationship.
AG: Plus her one dastardly act, hiding Nate's letter to Jenny, she admitted it and apologized. I can't imagine the mostra without her. I mean, she is a certain type of quintessential New Yorker.
JS: She so is. She's indie. She's intellectual. She's homeschooled. She's not rich. Her parents never wanted to be rich. Her sister is in a scrappy punk band. The writers Amore Scrivere for her. We Amore watching Serena and Blair's world from her vantage point. Interesting things will be happening with Vanessa, we haven't seen her family backstory, and we will be delving into that, specifically her relationship with her mother.
AG: Onto the più secondary characters, did te write the bit where Vanya is Leggere Ann Coulter because Dorota suggested it to him?
JS: No, that was written da [episode writer] Sarah Frank Meltzer. The character of Vanya is someone we introduced in the webisodes, and if te haven't seen them, te should. You'll see più of Vanya this season.
AG: Is Gabriel based on Rick Von Sloneker from Metropolitan?
JS: No. Gabriel is based very loosely -- and I mean loosely -- on someone else. When we initially come up with stories, we'll take stuff from headlines, but da the time we actually get through the episode, the real story has gone so far in the other direction, that there is hardly ever any real connection to its origin left.
AG: I have a really outlandish question. It came from my wondering if there were any circumstances that could really shake up the character dynamics, and then I realized that what I came up with might bring joy to Gossip Girl fan who are also sci-fi fans--all three of them. So: What would be the challenges for the characters if Gossip Girl took place in space?
JS: The challenges? te want to coop them up? That ship would blow up! We can't even be on a city block without characters going at each other! The ship would last an ora and a half and then boom!
AG: So let's put them in Suits and let them float around, Major Tom style, but not float away, of course.
JS: Even with no gravity, Blair would still think she's floating in Serena's shadow, and that everything revolves around Serena -- the earth now, especially - and Serena would still pretend to be oblivious to that fact.

I just think I need to get this out there. I am not doing this to be mean I am just stating what I have seen from the mostra thus far.
So I guess I'll start off with what I know best. Chair. The Amore story that has been going on since the very beginning. There is no way that anyone can argue that these two haven't had moments where they were just totally happy and in love. From the scene from Seventeen Candles where he tells her she is beautiful to the "I Amore too" scene from The Goodbye Gossip Girl as well as Blair giving Chuck the photograph in The Lost Boy. These too are obviously in love,...

A/N: So, guess who finally updated. Yeah, I’m sorry about the horribly long wait, but I’m not going to lie, I had absolutely NO IDEA what to write. So, after Scrivere this chapter I have decided:
THIS IS THE LAST CHAPTER OF THIS STORY!!!!!! I like how it ends, and if I even try to write more, I’d just be leaving te all with increasing longer breaks in between chapters.
Plus, I’m thinking of Scrivere stories for my newest obsession, James and Lily (Harry Potter), cause I have tons of ideas for them.
THANK te ALL FOR Leggere THIS STORY!! Hope te enjoy this chapter!!!
P.S. The first part...

Gossip Girl has resorted to political drama, celebrity gossip and child play in order for a good story to have its punchline. All they manage to achieve is constant chaos and overachievers that just grew up too quickly.


In this case, politics and celebritàs does equate the vile drama and disarray with the touch of gossip somewhere in the middle, but I got Lost to the point where Gossip Girl kept narrating the lives of the tarnished and the only text message received was to Dan's phone about Olivia's personal spill on live television. I think Gossip Girl has Lost her touch, her witty remarks...

NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN AS LONG AS I LIVE will I go camping again!!! NEVER! I don't know why I went, okay fair enough it was only 1 night but it nearly killed me. I hate it so much! It's just awful, and it took me days to recover from that nightmare but I just was in such a bad mood after that I just didn't have the energy to write but today I just woke up and instantly wanted to write so I started again on this...

Friendly Encounters- Chapter Eighteen

He continued to stare speechlessly at his father, not quite believing the words that had just come out of his mouth. He couldn’t be serious, could he? But that was when he remembered that his father never joked about anything, and judging da the stern expression on his face at the moment, he was being completely serious.
When he still detto nothing, Bart cleared his throat importantly and asked again, “So, what do te think of coming on board with me at basso Industries? It’s your rightful place and I’ve waited a long time for this day, but I finally...

His lips traveled down her body and she felt the need in her body reach a feverous pitch. She needed him so badly that it wasn’t even funny. He kissed her stomach and worked his way down to the core of her body, which was pulsing with need. Just as he was about to baciare her through the silk of her panties, Blair bolted awake.
She cursed the heavens that her dream had been interrupted, just as she was about to get some satisfaction. Blair remembered the face in her dream which had belonged to the man that had been pleasuring her and groaned out loud. It hadn’t been her boyfriend, it had been...

*This oneshot is not connected at all with the other fanfiction I put up on here. It takes place sometime into Season 2. Blair has tried everything to make Chuck jealous and even if there are signs of it occurring, they are very subtle. Chuck had tried his very best to put on a Ribelle - The Brave face and appears to be the very basso he was, before he ever slept with Blair. Blair finally cannot take it anymore. She is heartbroken. She wants only him and can’t even seem to create misery for him to make him pay for what he’s done. She goes to him, to confront him on her feelings and to domanda his own....
