In the inaugural "Showy" episode of AU City, V writes and awkwardly performs a preview of a spec episode for Nancy Drew's upcoming 4th season, as Rey reacts with emphatic gestures--thanks to a sore throat. (FYI: "Spec Episode" is TV writing jargon for an unsolicited and unpaid script written using an existing show's premise and characters, often used to audition for writing jobs and/or beef up a screenwriter's portfolio of samples.) Follow along for many fun FAFO tips on balancing visual descriptions and dialogue, building tension with your ships, and badly impersonating actors with a variety of tricky accents!

In the pilot "Telly" episode of AU City, Rey and V discuss the not-so-secret history of Nancy Drew (intrepid girl sleuth, early 1900s group storytelling project, and--now in 2022--horror-hued CW-esque TV show) and kick off the running themes of our first season, which is all about using established worlds to FA and FO with your art.
