I thought at first that the overly fangirl stuff was silly.

Like, who does shit like that to their stepkid and gets away with it? And in the same vein of stepsisters, Poston thread a little twist in there that I actually, surprisingly appreciated. A few times I had to slam my mouth shut and be thankful I was in the lunchroom alone so no one heard whatever weird sound just came out. You expect the stepmother and sisters to be awful, but Poston took it to another level. Elle’s on the other hand was really quite heart jerking. Darien’s point of view was particularly interesting in regards to the movie filming and the celebrity high life. The writing may not have been the best out there, but the characters were fun. Fairy Godmother – Person they work with.Friend – Kid everyone else thinks is weird.Connection They Bond Over – University choice vs Starfield.First Met Prince Charming – email vs text messages.Job: working at a diner vs working at a food truck.A short list, if you will, comparing Sam and Elle. Part-romance, part-love letter to nerd culture, and all totally adorbs, Geekerella is a fairy tale for anyone who believes in the magic of fandom.Īs far as Cinderella re-tellings go, I found this paralleled the Hilary Duff film A Cinderella Story more than anything else, Disney or otherwise. But when she disappears at midnight, will he ever be able to find her again? As ExcelsiCon draws near, Darien feels more and more like a fake – until he meets a girl who shows him otherwise. Playing Carmindor is all he has ever wanted, but Starfield fandom has written him off as just another dumb heartthrob. Now they’re nothing but autographs and awkward meet-and-greets.

Teen actor Darien Freeman used to live for cons – before he was famous. With savings from her gig at the Magic Pumpkin food truck and her dad’s old costume, Elle’s determined to win – unless her stepsisters get there first. The prize? An invitation to the ExcelsiCon Cosplay Ball and a meet-and-greet with the actor slated to play Federation Prince Carmindor in the reboot. So when she sees a cosplay contest for a new Starfield movie, she has to enter. Geek girl Elle Wittimer lives and breathes Starfield, the classic science-fiction series she grew up watching with her late father.
