Magical scavenger hunts. Illegal sleepover parties.

Unsanctioned PDA (both public and private).

And, of course, some potentially ill-advised confrontations.

You know. 

The usual.

You know how this works.

One Prince Charming is picked. He's inevitably handsome, shredded, has a vague enough sounding job to be legitimate, and the ability to lie really well to the cameras. He's looking for his One True Love, and obviously, the best way of finding that person (who always happens to be a white woman, between five foot three and five foot ten, wearing approximately a size zero to four, and preferably blonde) is to have a team of producers round up seventeen women who are all more or less interchangeable, move them into a castle, ply them with alcohol, turn cameras on, and broadcast it all on...]]> Sun, 25 Dec 2022 20:11:35 +0200 https://language.library.land/kk-hendin/633261-ill_be_home_for_hanukkah.html https://language.library.land/kk-hendin/633261-ill_be_home_for_hanukkah.html

Shayna Adler has never watched a single Hallmark Christmas movie, but she has a sinking feeling she has found herself in one.

Wait.

Is that not how Hallmark Christmas movies go?

Things are, shall we say, spiraling out of control.

And not in the well-executed producer-driven way.

More in the catastrophic, there-doesn't-seem-to-be-a-way-to-fix-things kind of spiral.

But that's what extra special guests are for, right?

…Right?

After some unexpected plot twists, filming continues as Prince Charming moves forward on his quest for True Love.

Totally normal.

Nothing to see here.

Really. Everything's fine.

The carriages are ready to roll out, but the girls may not be ready for the harsh reality of reality television.

But really- who would be?

The storm may have passed, and now it's back to regularly scheduled programming.

Mostly.

With the exception of some absolutely ridiculous group dates, budding romances between people contractually obligated to not have budding romances, and just a lot more tea than anyone is used to.

That is regularly scheduled programming?

You sure?

Dark and stormy nights can lead to all kinds of mistakes and bad choices.

Cultural appropriation. Inappropriate thoughts about people that you shouldn't be thinking about. Messing with dead people.

But all storms end, and then things will get better. Right?

Wrong?

Damn it.

Will a change of scenery help set the mood for falling in love?

Probably not. But it can't hurt to try, can it?

It can?

Oh.

The season of Fated continues the same way it always has. 

Group dates at odd hours. Dramatic shoe ceremonies. Awkward double dates. They've practically got it down to a science by now.

Regardless of what has happened, or who shows up to investigate, or how many people think filming should be cancelled.

Pay no attention to the chaos and heartbreak behind the scenes, it's not important.  

Really.

Trust us.

In Search Of One Imaginary Boyfriend

After one disastrous date too many, Abbi Horowitz would love nothing more than to swear off dating for the rest of the foreseeable future. As it is, she's too busy juggling a full-time job and law school to date anyone.

Unfortunately, her mother has other plans.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, and for Abbi, that means inventing a fake boyfriend that she can date for the next few months before conveniently breaking up with him when her life isn't so hectic.

There's no way that a plan this perfect will fail.

In Search Of One Imaginary Girlfriend

When Abbi tells her neighbor Daniel Cohen about her plans, he proposes an alternative.

Use each other's very common Jewish names to create fake people to date for the next few months, and go on pretend dates to strengthen their tenuous cover story.

Dan's an accountant muscling his way through busy season and...]]> Sun, 09 Jan 2022 05:46:24 +0200
