new excerpt

hey guys, 

today I thought of another scene to add to the story..

its meant to be a little after Nate and Erika are a bit more familiar with each other (and I mean that in a non-sus way, ok!?)

aite, so heres the basic gist of it:

At some point Erika is in the library, hunched over her school books, trying to finish her homework. suddenly, Nate appears behind her and throws a book down on the table. he recommends the book to her (but is actually using this as a tool to make conversation). then he sits down at the table, opposite Erika. they have a conversation and, after Nate leaves, Erika finds a note which he must have slid to her without her noticing. on the paper are Nate's homework notes from class, and at the bottom of the page - his number.

ok, so basically this scene was aimed at showing Nate's interest in Erika. it also shows that he's made the effort to go and talk to her in public..

any thoughts?

new name

aite guys,

i know some of you were a bit unsure bout Nate's last name. well, i can safely announce, now, that his surname has been changed.

his real name is now:

*drumroll*

Nathaniel James Fletcher

or just Nate Fletcher (as he is known in the story)

aite, that took me and Flick ages to decide on, so too bad if you dont like it now!

some of the other surnames we had included:

Walker, Hayden, Faulkner, Parish and Fielding..

so yar, thats it.

laytr!

WOOT!!!

As i am beautiful and intelligent and all that jazz I have managed to make my life and Caitlins life that much easier. I realised that If I made my current account an author of this blog then I wouldn't have to keep signing in and out when I wanted to change something - brilliant eh?

Proposed Playlist

hey guys,

aite, so i've began to compile some songs into a playlist in order to suit the story.

the only problem is that im having trouble thinking of songs to use..

so here's how its gonna work:

you guys are gonna help me think of songs. im gonna give you the basic gist of a particular excerpt and then im gonna tell you which song i thought was suited to it. if you think there's a particular song which is better suited to the excerpt, please tell me!

okai, so the first excerpt is the opening scene, in which we see Erika sitting with her group at lunch time. she's staring at this guy that she finds really fascinating. so this guy is really antisocial, like SERIOUSLY! he doesnt talk to anyone, he doesnt sit with anyone, etc.. but at the same time hes still top of the class. (one smart kid, huh?). but yea, basically her "friends" dont notice, coz they dont actually like her very much and they dont really care bout her.

pretty much this scene introduces some of the characters whom we encounter further on in the story.

for this excerpt i thought the song "Newport Living" by Cute Is What We Aim For would be kinda suited... the song basically talks about people who become really "popular" and sell out. they become someone theyre not.

any thoughts?

Blooper #1

ok, so here's a blooper that Flick and I wrote agess ago when we were going crazy.

I think it actually started when Flick said we should include the line "oh snap" in there, and also the line "your face!".

so it was decided that we should write a blooper of one of the scenes..

this particular scene was the dream that Erika has...

btw: this scene is best read aloud and in a suspenseful, fortuneteller sorta voice :P

enjoy!

"There was something that told me I was not alone. I whirled around.

'Looking for someone?' said a dark voice. I couldn't see who or what had said it, but I knew it was nothing of this world.

'Your face!' was my reply. I hadn't meant to say it, but my body seemed to be beyond my control. There was silence then; as if the thing were trying to think up a witty retort. Then finally the silence was broken.

'Oh snap...'"

so yar. thats only a snippet of the original dream sequence.. but we thought it'd be too long to create a completely alternative one.

any thoughts?

The Plot (no.. we haven't lost ours!)

aite, so here's the basic gist of the story, just incase you'd like to know:

"A girl from a group of popular girls is not very happy with her choice of friends. Her school life and her home life are troubling her. She wants a change. She has been studying a boy at her school who doesn't have any friends; he's completely antisocial. But at the same time, he's top of the class for grades. He acts very strange and this girl wants to know why.

When these two teenagers' paths collide, they find out that they are not so different from each other."

Characters:

>Erika Michaels (age 17)

>Nate Hardwood (age 18)

---

>Hannah Massey (popular girl)

>Elizabeth Conner (friend)

>Kyle Sterling (loser)

>Dusty Hansen (Elizabeth's BF)

School: Middleton Private High

sound interesting? well.. i might start typing it up in this blog a little later on, but i cant be bothered atm..

aite, thats all for now.

laytr all

Pink Book Blog

Right... so because I was bored one day I decided to make a blog for the pink book that Caitlin and I (Flick) are writing in and the story it contains. OK so Caitlin's writing in it and I'm providing input... but the blog was my idea aren't I briliant?

actually - please don't answer that, the answers might be embarrasing

So... what is this blog for? I have no idea. Really I don't, I just thought that it would be a good idea :/
I think the idea is that Caitlin and I provide running commentary on how the pink book is going and ask for peoples input... such as when caitlin was madly coming up with band names and I was refusing to use most of them... and we had no idea what to do

for those who care we decided on The Untrust Society (Caitlin you are legend... without the flesh eating zombies)

So there you have it... The Pink Book now has its own blog. Great an inanimate object has a blog - well its the internet, I'm sure wierder things have happened (4chan for example?)
