Chapter Text
Prologue:
I had been working with Smosh for a while now, it was obvious that I had established myself quite well - I was one of the selective few to survive the Defy collapse last November. I wish I could say that I was devastated that our parent company shut their doors, it was upsetting, yeah...but honestly it was kind of a relief.
Being a writer for Smosh had been a long-time dream, and being trained as an emergency editor on the side was everything I moved to L.A for, but the contract that came with it was a living nightmare - I had always, always loved scriptwriting and helping with productions but the deadlines that Defy set were almost impossible to meet and when they were met... You were rewarded with a disgruntled nod and more work with the following deadline. The only thing keeping me going was the rest of the crew doing it tough beside me and the constant love we'd get from the cast, it wasn't surprising that we all formed strong friendships in and out of the office.
