And the Madness Begins!



Well, like it says in our introduction, Elana and I have put together many of our rps and I in turn put our wonderful creations into stories while she made graphics for each one. (EDIT: Darnit, makes it seem like I don't do any hard work XD I did write essentially half of Fated, and help with editing them all, hehe.) We'll be using this blog for our updates and little extra things we have for each story. Now I won't blab on and on about it so just check it out for yourself below!



Fated Mishaps
Being an average teenager, Antonia (please don't make any jokes) "Toni" DeWitt has never placed importance in history. Or any other subject in school for that matter. It wasn't as though she needed to know history in her everyday life. Yet when she suddenly finds herself transported back through time, she soon finds herself wishing that she had stayed awake during her hours at school. Try as she might to blend in, her strange looks and speech along with her smart aleck comments soon land her in the dungeons to await her witch trial.

Stuck in a loveless engagement arranged by her uncle, the Baron Henry Newbury, Lady Evelyn Newbury struggles with her decision to obey her uncle or follow her heart. Orphaned at a young age, she had vowed to be the perfect picture of a dutiful niece. Yet Evie discovers that, with her future at stake, she must do what she can to find her own happiness. As she plots her escape, Evie soon finds an ally in the mysterious stranger in her uncle's dungeons.

FATED MISHAPS follows the adventures of two girls from different time periods as they unexpectedly find a friendship that gives them the strength needed to do what they must to survive betrayal, love, and life. Told through the eyes of the quirky and proud Toni and the caring and naive Evie, this novel is a mixture of humor and adventure that shows readers that some friendships can survive - even time in its most extreme form.

We'd had the idea for Fated for a long while, but during NaNoWriMo 2008 decided to actually write the story. We were successful!


Stolen Promises
The once peaceful Hawthorne household was torn to pieces in a matter of seconds when their daughter, Jocelyn Rae was ordered to travel hundreds of miles away to marry the rumored ruthless Laird Boswell or risk the wrath of the king. For the sake of her family, she left despite her family's protests. Unable to let her sister sacrifice her happiness, her younger sister Victoria Rose followed her and convinced her to come home. Together they escaped the king's guards. The Hawthorne sisters vowed to return home to protect their parents at whatever cost. Yet they soon found themselves at the mercies of even worst dangers that lurked within the heart of Highlands. Dangers that not only made them lose their way but also their hearts.

While on a mission to find the Boswell bastards that attacked his lands early in the week, Laird Gavin MacAlister and his ally Laird Alec Frasier soon found more than they bargained for. As Gavin stumbles upon Laird Boswell's lovely English betroth and her servant, he decided to take her as his own instead. As time passes, Gavin and Alec soon discovered that a plot set out for revenge could give them the one person they've needed all their lives.



Private
High school. Is there anything worse?

Only when you're trying to get through life while attending Wycliffe Heights Academy, one of the richest, most prestigious private schools in the United States. And by prestigious, it usually means that no matter what the students at Wycliffe Heights do, it will never spread to the press or their permanent records. The unofficial rule is that the more money your family donates to the school the more they turn a blind eye to your antics.

So it's understandable that the leaders of the school are the children of the obscenely wealthy. Imagine stuck up cheerleaders and jocks with no rules or punishments restraining them and unlimited money at their fingertips. They cater to no one and look down at everyone. This is especially bad news for students who are not of the elite, born with a diamond pacifier in mouth.

But there are a rare few at the school who were born with regular plastic toys in their hands. And a few even rarer ones who won't abide by the rules of the rich and privileged. No matter what happens.

High school...is about to get interesting.



The Plastic Slipper
“If someone tried to put me to sleep, I’d strangle him with his own poison apple.”

Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty…it was no wonder that of all the princess stories of the past, Princess Rosaline Daniella Kingston’s story was rarely, if ever, told (despite her parent’s efforts). After all, she wasn’t exactly a typical princess. Although lovely, her beauty was lost in the sea of beautiful princesses before her. As her mother stated before “Nice bone structure but she’s no Cinderella…” Combined with being tone deaf and a natural smart mouth, Rosy was as many would say ‘a few diamonds short of a beautiful tiara.’

But even atypical princesses would have their fair share of enemies. Generally in the form of an evil stepmother. Or in Rosy’s case, in the form of her innocent looking, sweet distant cousin Lady Christina Gwyneth Townsend, who was determined to take Rosy’s place and be the most famous Princess of all. What’s a girl to do when she’s forced by her parents to be a princess she can never be, and hated for being someone she can’t help being? Being a princess sure isn't as easy as it used to be...

We also have a whole new Regency Romance Series that is under construction at the moment so it'll be coming soon!

If you're interested in reading a few chapters of each, you can check it out at
http://theunlockedcloset.moonfruit.com/#. Unfortunately, we hadn't updated a few of the stories for a while so MoonFruit shut them down. You can still access Stolen Promises and The Plastic Slipper, though! We also have more graphics as well as videos and character photo bases for each story.

P.S There Elana, the first post is just waiting for you to edit and jazz up. xD You know my writing is blah without you! Hehe

P.P.S Your writing is fine! Just added a bit in the intro and conclusion...and will have the banners up by the end of the weekend ^^
