Awesome! I love the two Malory Towers ones, especially the first ^^ I also really like the Sylvia/Daphne one and the Romeo and Juliet one is depressingly plausible. And the Jane Austen one is so lovely. They're all good though!
Taken from Chapter 2 of Victoria Scott’s Autobiography I really want the whole autobiography - or at least more snippets.
If Joey couldn’t see that even if Simone had had one child her whole life, it would still have been a family as proper as any that Joey had - Simone liked Joey still, loved her as a friend, but it would never be the same. Absolutely. It's like the comment Joey makes to Frieda, which I assume Simone never hears about, that "Simone is too dear and sweet to spend all her life teaching". I love the child-Joey, but the adult often sets my teeth on edge. I know she's probably wish-fulfillment for EBD, but ...
Sylvia/Daphne Now I want to go racing off and work out when this would fit into the history of sexualities, before or after The Well of Loneliness and whether Sylvia and Daphne might not have just got away with being two maiden ladies - as I think Mary Renault and her partner did all their lives. Hmm.
Con Maynard/Roger Richardson: But sometimes - sometimes - she wondered if she hadn’t paid too dearly.Absolutely!

You got the bully in Joey off to a tee. I loved her dearly, but her cloddish insensitivity to Simone and to other ways of being (she was always pretty unhelpful to Grizel) made my teeth grate. The adult Joey was much too full of herself.

I'm glad you liked. I'm glad to give Sally some happiness for once.

I'm glad you liked them. I had a chance to write all the little ideas that bob around :)
