About the author
Heyy! For new readers who may not know me, my name is Amy and Infamous is my one and only IF. It may be my first IF but what readers may not know is that it’s not my first foray into publishing fiction. I’ve indie published a few novels before getting into interactive fiction!
About the game
A story about finding your way through the best and worst parts of Hollywood live on television.
Tell me more about your journey into interactive fiction or what you're working on now
I’m working on a few things. Infamous always takes priority, so I’ve really been focusing on at least hitting the halfway mark and with chapter five out I can practically see it now. I have been dabbling in a future Infamous spinoff and two new stories in entirely new settings. I’m mildly superstitious, so I’m pretty private about everything that isn’t Infamous related, but it’s all really exciting to do something different.
Discovering interactive fiction started with visual novels when I was ten. I used to play those admittedly cringy dating games from the app store all the time! I just loved reading and I was looking for any medium to scratch that itch. Creatures Such as We was the first Choicescript project I ever read. That’s when it clicked in my mind that interactive fiction was an actual thing. I went through what was available in their catalogue in a month. Since then it’s remained one of my favorites.
Had so much fun answering! Thank you everyone for your support on the story and for voting. And thank you @interact-if for all the hard work you guys do! Truly makes the community such a brighter place! <3
CHAPTER 5 UPDATE
Latest update -> CHAPTER 5 (06/06/2026)
✮ CHAPTER 5: 230K WORDS ✮
CHAPTER FIVE IS NOW OUT FOR THE PUBLIC!
The cast of BotB season four has touched down in a new state: Ohio! That's right—they're infiltrated G's backyard (and maybe someone else's?) Unfortunately, the rockstar isn't happy about this development considering the people who have decided to show their faces here. Meanwhile certain rumors are tainting the BOTB brand while the home lives of the ROs are starting to creep up on them. Will there even be a tour? Who knows?
As usual, MC remains in the center of it all. Their plans for their future comes into question when they're forced with new faces and possibilities. That is…if they even have a career by the end of this. For some MCs they should probably keep in mind to think with their head and not their…you know!
Chapter 5 is out publicly. ENJOY.
We know what W thinks of H but what about L? Especially when H is bein their intense "want to hurt/devour you" (in W's word) self? Like would L (especially romanced L) be concerned for MC too?
L has already spoken about H once! Technically... Calls them a Toff or Snob at the bar 😆 I think Lestrade has sort of seen them around somewhere... But they've never been introduced. And... Can we be honest? Look, H is a bit intense.
But W has a habit of exaggerating. Especially when it comes to MC and matters of the heart...
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Romanced" L has two competing thoughts seeing MC and H together:
"That rich bastard/btch is going to hurt them—" (that they'll play around with MC).
"They look perfect together on the ballroom floor... Fuck. They'd give them a perfect life..."
And then they'd skulk off, in a bitter mood, for a smoke outside.
--
Addendum: I've always felt like, under the perfect circumstances, L and H are a bit similar and could get along / work well together. I just don't think we will really get those circumstances...
😓 Maybe one day.
i hate that when you try and look up shit for writing purposes it starts linking suicide hotlines and addiction advice articles like bro i just wanna know the information im not killing myself i promise. now tell me what i wanna know
it’s fucking ridiculous that The Residence wasn’t renewed for a season 2. It’s so beautifully crafted
Richard: They’re just so sophisticated and ethereal, I’m utterly bewitched by their apotheotic synergy blah blah blah
Meanwhile what Judy sees:
Tsh Headcanons (some slightly nsfw)
Richie
Nail biter
Dislikes the name John because it’s short, common, and his father’s
Has an older half brother (father’s first marriage) and a younger sister, Judy reminds him of her somewhat
His dorm building has a cat that follows ppl around, sometimes he’ll let it in his room and leave the door open a bit so it can get back out
Never loved another person before, even family, tho cares for siblings a bit
Communal/grandiose narcissist
Used to play guitar, writes solid lyrics but boring progressions, ends up abandoning every song before it’s finished, mostly just plays covers
He’s a good lay, very cognizant of partners’ body language
Likes to hang out with Judy when she’s getting ready, even if he’s not going out with her that night + could absolutely hook up with/date Judy if he wanted but he likes having her as a friend, even if he takes her for granted
Has sun damage that looks like freckles, he spent a lot of time outside as a kid, just to get away from that house
Ears pierced, did not go unnoticed by Bunny
Cam
Small collection of Guerlain lipstick, but ends up wearing just one shade all the time: a wine color
Wants girl friends but feels out of place among them when she tries
Blonde lashes and brows, same with Charles, looks a bit stark in black mascara so she uses brown
Shower singer + takes long showers, she likes to think in there, thought daughter, steams up the bathroom, Charles’ showers run cold sometimes as a result
Gifting her fur is a safe bet on holidays
Internalizes her feelings, the opposite of Charles who can barely hide his to save his life
Deviated from the norm when she went to Richard while she was upset, she usually keeps such things to herself (hence the way she downplayed how painful the glass in her foot was) but took a chance at being vulnerable only for him to take shots at her - she took this into account later when he asked her to marry him
She wanted to say yes when Richard asked her to go back to his dorm with him, but she wasn’t willing to jeopardize the dynamic between her and Henry, especially when she needed a contingency plan for Charles
Henny
His scar is from broken glass, this intensified his anxiety about the sitch with cam’s foot
Tism haver, but he’d be offended at the notion
Can be mechanical during sex
No sexual preference or hang-ups, but catching his attention is near impossible as it predicates on intrigue, hence his interest in Camilla/Richard as they are both mysterious to him
Fine with making plans last minute, hates changing plans last minute
Bunny was his first real/meaningful friendship
American psycho ahh workout routine + he meal plans
Tailored clothes, not just because of his size, but also for minimizing sensory discomfort
Firmly believes the final bacchanal attempt was “successful” specifically because of Bunny’s absence, that it was Bunny holding them back before by not taking the endeavor seriously
Sometimes mutters to himself when agitated, under the impression no one can hear it
Pomade > gel, washes that shit off his hands expeditiously when he’s done styling
Has a signature cologne he uses everyday and never deviates from, I’m thinkin Guerlain Vetiver (1961): Top Notes: Bergamot, lemon, mandarin, neroli, and coriander, Heart Notes: Vetiver and cedarwood, Base Notes: Tobacco, nutmeg, pepper, and tonka bean + you know that man reeks of cigarettes
Bun
Likes crackerjack, sticks the stickers on Henry and sees how long it takes for him to notice, which is almost immediately, “I can feel you doing it”
Preference for vacationing on the coast
Listened to radio shows as a kid
Derisive sense of humor as a result of having so many brothers, he doesn’t understand just how much it grates on people cus it’s his norm
I’m retconning his blue eyes, he’s actually blonde with the lightest golden honey brown eyes
Sometimes when speaking to Richard, he’ll try to piss him off by bending his knees just enough to bring himself and Richard eye to eye, emphasizing the height difference between them
Leg bouncer, never sits right in a chair
Deflects and projects like a mf, almost never takes criticism to heart, but will not let a perceived slight slide, when a nerve is struck it’s disastrous so it’s good then that he doesn’t often pick up on stuff like that
Good with kids, he seems to understand them, Marion likes that about him
Doodles portraits of strangers or whoever’s around when bored, he did one of Camilla once that she liked so much she asked to keep it, he doesn’t much care for Camilla but so rarely does he get praise (especially for his artwork, being in such a machismo family and all) that it meant something to him all the same
Charli
Used to be bit of a film buff, vintage film of course, still reads up on it from time to time
Knows it’s time for a haircut when Cam gets hers cut
Wine enjoyer, but started drinking stronger stuff after the bacchanal
On occasion will significantly exaggerate how inebriated he is when hooking up with Francis
Feels the need to pick up the slack in a dead convo, lots of practice carrying a conversation having Camilla as a sibling
Francois
Smokes Newports, the menthol makes them easier to chainsmoke
Passive aggressive, he and Richard have that in common, they can have brat offs
Bunny makes fun of his accent with the go to phrase “boston habah”
Will let someone vent without trying to give solutions/advice
Kim, as a lawyer, had a way with words, writing love notes that Francis would later keep in secret after his marriage with Pricilla. He likes having proof he was worthy of being someone’s first choice
Switchy
Will drink coke (from a bottle but not a can) with cherries
Vinyl record collector + but with a nasty fossil of a record player
their book finally closed
for your consideration:
I saw a cool post in the secret history community essentially prompting others on their interpretation of the ending, specifically Richard’s dream in the epilogue. I’ve though a bit about it and I’m gonna copy paste my response here:
It’s a reflection of their moment of sincerity sitting on the porch of the old house, early before the rest of the class woke up, reflecting on how the beauty of the morning light “can make the most vulgar thing tolerable.” Richard responds, “I know what you mean,” and his thoughts wander back to his troubled home life in California. As if reading this from his face, Henry remarks “You’re not very happy from where you come from, are you?” Richard’s startling at the deduction amuses Henry and he assures Richard off handedly that that he “hides it well,” thus implying that he, meaning Henry, could guess at Richard’s thoughts because he himself is no stranger to a strained relationship with home.
This conversation is mirrored in the dream sequence in the Epilogue when Richard, knowing they were strained for time asks, “Are you happy here?” Henry considers before responding, “Not particularly. But you’re not very happy where you are either,” illustrating that despite what they have both been through, what they’ve done and what they’ve lost, neither has found peace. That to chase an ideal is as feasible as chasing the horizon; you may cover ground, but no matter what your willing to do as means to your end, that meridian where the heavens touch the earth will remain always in view but never in reach.
I also like to read it as an allusion to the scene in the Illiad when Achilles falls asleep on the beach after raging in grief for Patroklos. Patroklos then appears to Achilles in a dream and speaks to him; however, when Achilles reaches to hold him, he disappears as the dead may not interact with the world of the living. This parallels largely in part to the dream milieu, but also because Patroklos died protecting Achilles, taking that fall for him by donning his armor and driving his chariot on the battlefield to appease the Achaeans while still coddling his pride. Much the same did Henry, as alleged by Richard, “take the bullet,” as it were, for the Greek class when Charles shot Richard. Additionally the gifting of Henry’s car to Richard by Henry’s mother after his death, at her insistence that Richard was important to Henry, evokes the transferal of a chariot to a loved one.
This comparison is appealing to me, as I’m a winterpapen truther, given that in general collective agreement Achilles and Patroklos are interpreted as lovers, however it also works specifically in that Richard likens his dream of himself and Henry to that of Achillies and Patroklos earlier in epilogue explicitly. He recalls Julian’s teaching: “The dead appear to us in dreams because that’s the only way they can make us see them; what we see is only a projection, beamed from a great distance, light shining from a dead star…” Did he mean the afterlife, history, memory? Or something more ephemeral, mailable, to be shaped uniquely by those who bequeath it: myth.
first date idea and you regard me with chill distaste for my weak statement
henrymilla to me is like when you finally find a friend that sees and understands you for who you really are and you accidentally fall in love with them because of that
6 Richards (+1 Henry, standard)
Richard can have a little Henry, as a treat
From @luxielisbcn’s post
Winterpapen Headcanons cus I’m in a romantic mood
Richard will brush Henry’s hair off of his forhead whenever he gets the chance, ie leaning in for a kiss, admiring Henry’s sleeping face while laying side by side in bed
When Henry’s got a hold on his waist, Richard, in turn, likes to grasp at his shoulders. It feels like completing a unit, closing a feedback loop.
In disagreements, Henry isn’t the type to yell. He may be icy or sharp, but rarely does he raise his voice. This is very appealing to Richard.
After having a little bicker Rich might flip Henry’s tie over his shoulder to bug him.
Richard worries he’s only a passing fancy to Henry; a dalliance that will burn bright but fast. Henry’s devotion and intensity regarding their relationship do nothing to placate him as Henry is intense about everything.
Before leaving for work, Rich’ll come up behind Henry while he’s working at his desk to press a quick goodbye kiss to the side of his neck.
Its Henry who says “I love you” first, it made Richard smile so hard even he didn’t believe him one bit
Loving and being loved by a man goes crazy with Richard’s daddy issues.
Rich likes to hit Henry with an ironic “Honey, I’m home” at the door when coming from his dorm or back from work.
Richard will use the bath at Henry’s cus the dorms have only showers, Henry’s not really the type to want to take a bath together tho (he’s too big for that, it wouldn’t be practical) but he will pull a kitchen chair up next to the tub and read so they can still be together.
Henry likes to take Rich’s chin between his thumb and forefinger and direct his gaze, Richard likes the intense way Henry looks at him when he does this, his face so enthralled despite the motion being a controlling one
A blush is more pronounced through Henry’s pale complexion.
Henry will non verbally tell Rich to chill by reaching for his face with one hand and smoothing over the furrowed line between his brows with the thumb of his other before toping it all off with a little brush of a kiss over that spot.
Similarly, Richard will push Henry’s glasses up onto the top of his head, lean in and graze his lips over each eyelid in a kiss before pulling back and replacing the glasses back on his nose once more
Henry doesn’t always make eye contact when speaking to someone so on occasion when Rich finds their gazes suddenly meeting, intense eyes locked into him, it makes him forget what he was going to say.
Henry’s got the impulse to constantly groom Richard, ie smooth down his shirt collar, reach over and brush a leaf or speck of lint out of his hair, wipe away any smudges on his face.
Henry finds deep satisfaction and contentment in the weight of Richard laying on his chest and the warm flutter of his breath against his skin.
They take walks together in the morning, side by side, hands in their coat pockets, either deep in conversation or silent in parallel contemplation.
Henry’s not above holding something over his head to keep it out of Richard’s reach.
Henry enjoys when Richard answers the phone and you can still hear sleep in his voice.
Richard tries twice as hard to appear apathetic regarding Henry in front of the rest of the Greek class in order to conceal their dynamic and compensate for his intense feelings.
Most of their misunderstandings stem from Richard intentionally keeping his feelings to himself to avoid having to be vulnerable and/or Henry assuming his own feelings were obvious when in fact they were not.
Henry: control freak, Richard: like herding a cat
Henry inquires after every little one of Richard’s experiences: “Tell me what you thought of…,” “How did you like it?” “Would you do it again?” “How did it compare to…?” This is him flirting
