Our favorite QaF characters are actors/directors/writers, etc. on a very popular nighttime soap opera (just so things can get a bit more sexual on screen than daytime soaps):

Brian is the lead actor. He is gay but his character is straight. He is/is not openly gay in his personal life.

Lindsay is the lead actress. She is bisexual but her character is straight. She is/is not bisexual in her personal life.

Justin is the newest actor to join the show. His character is supposed to only be a recurring character but the audience response to him is so great that his character soon becomes more integral to the show. He is openly gay in his personal life.

Michael is an actor. He is gay and so is his character. He is/is not openly gay in his personal life.

Emmett is the wardrobe supervisor for the show and Daphne is his assistant.

Ted, Leda, Debbie, and Ben are the writers for the show.

Vic and Melanie are the directors.

Cynthia is Vic's assistant and Blake is Melanie's assistant.

Other cast members (Vance, Ryder, Tracy, Brandon, Drew, Kiki, Mysterious Marilyn, etc.) could be actors, producers, set directors, etc. on the show.

Brian and Lindsay's characters are a couple on the show. Lindsay has plans to make it a reality. Michael wants Brian's character to be written as a closeted gay man who comes out of the closet to be with Michael's character with the hope of it becoming true in real life. Brian is very attracted to Justin.

A scene I would really like to see in the fic:

One day Lindsay doesn't show up for rehearsal and her stand-in isn't available, so Justin, the newest actor to the series, stands in for her. The scene calls for a lot of kissing, much to Brian's delight since he has been attracted to Justin since his first day on set. That first kiss starts a lot of fires!
