Complete AU, all characters set in "Hollywood".
Describing this in a few words without giving away too much is rather difficult; there are just some things which need to be uttered.
It is not the plot that had me read this long story in one go. It was the enthusiasm, the courage and the love the author portrays. There's so much Mad_Lori in there, it's amazing. You feel how deep the author feels about movies, about acting when reading this. Only because the author gives life to these topics, the characters can do so too.
Same author as "Alone on the Water".
