The Cru try their hand at writing in the vein of Danielle Steel, the bestselling living author. Since this is as close to cartoon-covered romances as we're likely to get (Spud: "Hold my beer." (I know, I know, she's more of a wine gal.)) we invited the G from Storywars CLE back on to chat about romance, popular fiction, and how to get a podcast off the rails. Stories begin around the 25 minute mark and include an opening; a doctor, who receives a gift; a meet-cute; a family heirloom; and a girl, living a life that doesn't fit her.
From Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable:
Hallmark. The official mark stamped on gold and silver articles after they have been assayed, so called because the assaying or testing and stamping was done at the Goldsmiths' Hall. The hallmark normally includes four symbols: the standard mark; the assay office or 'hall' mark; the date letter; and the sponsor's or maker's mark. There was also formerly a duty mark abolished in 1890.
