Death Envies life

If I was going to personify death I would probably make him a man in a well-cut suit. Whenever I see a suit, I just get that feeling that they're less important than they look. And the moral of my story would be that death is less important than we think. Death can blend in; people are so afraid of things they can't see that when something important comes along they're to distracted to see it.

And that's basically what the story would be about. Death wants to be human because Death envies Life. So he takes over a body and sends his most trusty advisor to eliminate everyone who would recognize his new form. Promising his advisor that he would take over once Death was human. It would also put a focus on what people do for power and position.

Foreign Exchange Deduction for Sherlylikeswaffles

This is such a cool question!
First I would deduce that she is fun and very outgoing! :) Then I would say she is curious about the world around her. She likes music and is very social, (obviously).
I hope you have a fun time meeting her!

In 1890, at Esther Sturry's 18th birthday party, her sister Georgina gets jealous. She starts flirting an eventually has an affair with a prominent Novelist, ending his career and marriage. Georgina's family is furious and she goes to live off on her own, her family severs all ties with her.

Almost two years later, 6 months before Esthers 20th B-Day party, her father dies. Leaving Esther and her mother with money but a scorched reputation, (because of Georgina), and cutting Georgina out of his will, (leaving her with no money, but a very prominent and popular business going as a home-wrecker/harlet.)

The rest of the story is told from 3 perspectives. Esthers, Georgina's and Janes. Alternating every chapter.

Esther and her mother attempt to repair their repuation by becoming the benefactor of a poor, foolish girl from Sussex. (In an attempt to prove that they can raise a child right, trying to make up for Georgina's mistakes).

Meanwhile, Georgina tries to get money by wooing the foolish and impressionable Judge Havensbrow, (who is actually a con man, who went to Africa with Havensbrow, who was killed by Malaria. Adopting his identity and his title, because he looks quite like him).

Havensbrow is scamming multiple women, (Jane and Georgina), Georgina gets jealous and destroys Jane, making her forever hate men.

Jane runs off but Georgina is on good graces with the family. Esther throws her 20th birthday party in which Georgina shows up dressed very modestly, convinced her infamy scared Havensbrow away, (thats why she thinks she went to another women).

While jane shows up wearing a scandalous outfit, (a skirt with a wide brimmed hat with a flower on it).

Esther becomes the old maid, Georgina and Havensbrow fall in love and Jane, (with her hatered of men and sexy outfit), becomes the new 'Home Wrecker', (she becomes the new Georgina). Leaving Esther alone contemplating philosphy, love and medeling with the fabric of things.

Forward-


So is this the perfect story then? Where I get the girl and the villain dies? Humiliated and alone? Seems a bit unfair. The perfect story I could never find, but I always tried.

This is all part of my weird, bibliophilic, desire to create the perfect book. Something that can stand the lengths of time. I want it to shroud 'King Lear' and 'Pride and Predjudice'. Love 'Harry Potter' in the dust, take 'Sherlock Holmes' and sweep it up the chimney.

I want a book that people will love for years. That will inspire other writers, that will help people. Because, in the end, that's what books are. Paper inspiration. Adventures in one hundred and fifty pages. A way to escape from our run-a-day lives, and leave. Just for a while, into a world of fantasy.

So I set off to create my little world. Quickly losing intrest in everything I write. I compare my work to others. 'Jules Vern' and 'Anne Rice'. I try different pen-names, (Anne Carol, Ethel Louis, Victoria Rice. All sound too fake, too un-me.). I, (sadly), etempted a story with the same eloquency as a Arthur Conan-Doyle novel, and trip over my grammar. Next I try fantasy. Werewolves and vampires, gifted children and comedy all thrown in. But I still can't find it.

It just seemed like I was looking to be somebody else. Someone I admired, and it was something I couldn't resist; not being myself. I wanted to be Jane Austin or Shakspeare. But I am far from it. I am myself, Natalie Claire Mark-Konczak. Born in California, 1998. Cajun-Creole and Swiss descent. Spoke 3 languages, sweared in 7. Always looking to be better, to be the actress, the singer, the novelist.

I always live in my fantasies. Escaping from them seems a waste of time.

I want to write a novel from the villains perspective. They always seems to get a bad-wrap. One thing I know for sure is, I would rather listen to "Poor Unforuntate Souls" then "Under The Sea". They have goals too. They just get lost in the sea of characterzation.

But what to write? Who to write? A modern adaption of 'Hamlet' where Claudius is a robot? (No). Hansel and Grettle where the kids steal from the pastry shop, (creepy). Snow White where she's the hag? (Never.) How can I write a villain, and make him lovable. (I looked to Joss Wheedon for one, Loki has always been a favorite. So has Dr. Horrible.)

This is what makes a character loved, young writers. Relatability. You can slap a sad look and a tear-jerker story to anyone and make someone melt for your writing. You can kill off characters; then explain it in the next book, and we'll still love you. Because you created our fantasy,

Thank you. To all the writers who inspired me, and all the people in my life, whose stories I collected for this.

How to Start a Scandal

Chapter 1:

I just wanted to lie down. Not sleep,  just lay down. For a second. A second of peace before I had to go back to work. "Just a nap," I told myself, "just once, please."

There was a knock on the store cupboard door.

"Fuck," I sighed, "this is what I get for sleeping...."

I got up to answer the door. Bet it was one of those girls. Yeah, I said it. Those girls. Pretty people. "God, what has the Internet done to me.....?" Oh well, not like I'm just gonna stop going online. I mean it's everywhere. So why not?!

I actually blamed the corruption of government for my personality. But no one my age got that, so I blamed the Internet...

Genuinely being clever, (by which I mean having a decent enough IQ to get all A's at the age of 14), was hard. Because most of the jokes I made were science jokes. Most of the references were to classical literature. I had great friends. Amazing friends!.....But I was unsure of their loyalty. (They had bullied me all throughout grammar school and forced me to Homeschool. Which I found boring and lonely.) But they were nice now. NO, kind now. And there company and strength helped a lot.

Because I have a lot of issues. But no one like to complain about themselves in the third-person. So I'll avoid it at all costs.

I won't bore you with my problems. Because I know how that weighs on you. Being the 'Go-To-Venter' or 'Ventie', rather. After a while you feel small and sad. And no one should suffer like that.

No matter what they do.

Short facts of the matter are: I have an eating disorder, or PTSD, or GAD, or an Alkaline issue. Whatever, I haven't been to the doctor lately. But every day, I feel sick. And it hurts. People call me anorexic, they think I'm depressed or have some kind of terminal disease. And so they're nice. (Thanks to them by the way. Thanks for saying-"You're dying, so have five-dollars!") I'm not actually dying...I just have some problems, everyone does.

I have a doctor's appointment Tuesday. It's the Friday before, now. "Hold out five days, Hester."

I love my name. (Of course it comes with the unfortunate problem of people thinking I'm from the 1920's. Not helped by my enormous knowledge of literature and my slight subconscious English accent. People think I'm a time-traveler. Which is awesome! Freaking awesome!)

So being crushed under the weight of that is pretty awesome. (It looks cheap putting emoticons in writing, but I will :).

Homecoming is in three weeks. That's amazing. It's an open ballot. You just pick random people to vote for. Freshmen win the coveted 'Congrats Newbie' trophy. So that should be fun.

I bought an amazing strapless, purple, leopard spotted, knee-high, sleeveless dress from Target. My back looks amazing and my front resembles a rhino. But if you think it's weird, you should see some of the popular girls dresses. (Sluts dress more modestly...)

I love school. I just hate feeling sick all the time.

Chapter 2:

Before I go on, I feel I should explain I am a lesbian. So you could of course say that my sickness is just God punishing me. But think of this, you've done far worse and you're still OK.

Ok, that was vital to know. Because you would have been utterly lost in the next ten chapters if you hadn't heard that. So, there you go.

I'm observant to. I can, in fact, tell all about you from your face, your walk, and your clothes. So this comes in unnaturally handy when trying to start a revolution.

Allow me to explain:

There are secrets at our school-(not Hogwarts)-that would turn an outsiders view of High School gay.
Our school is a pit of polygamy; asexuality; and frankly just messed-up-shit.

So, I seem like nothing in comparison.

And I know all this, but I keep it secret. Because that's what I do. I'm the secret-keeper. I'm the go-to-girl for people with problems. I am the 'Ventie'.

And it's not easy. Because having all those secrets and all that knowledge. It weighs on you. Like I said, some days...I just need somewhere to vent, too.

Thank god I have the Internet.

Chapter 3:

So you're probably wondering what I mean when I say 'How to Start a Scandal'? I mean what the title says. I'm going to start a scandal. 'A Scandal in High School'. Not quite Belgravia, but close.

Here's my plan:

Step one: Come to school on Friday acting as though nothing has happened to me, ever.

Step two: Buy a camera phone. No one will believe you without proof.

Step three: Become illustrious. To the extreme.

The Scarlet Letter

We quickly checked Wikipedia from any Alchemical information. The symbol on the letter was a deep shade of scarlet. (It's a kind of red that was amazingly beautiful, and reminded Anthea of Valentine's Day and me of Gone With the Wind).

"Do you know anything of alchemy?" C. asked us. Alchemy is mostly known as the way to turn something into gold. Or cause a great change in something. It's not technically magic. Everyone except Anthea agrees there is now such thing as magic. (But whatever).

C sat down at the computer and glanced the page with almost MILD interest. With all the mystery around this we thought she'd be exstatic. But she kept her same don't-give-a-shit frame.

   Thanks so much for your concern, I love school! :) My mom will be at school today if you want to speak to her.
