Chris and I are writing my little-murder-suicidey-girl-investigatey story that I planned, but it's totally different. I thought, for entertainment value, that I would post the convo here... Keep in mind that half these ideas have been discarded, so don't think you can guess what happens =)
sorcha:
Go on webcam
sorcha:
It's funny
chris:
no way
sorcha:
K, I'm writing a story where this girl's friend dies and stuff and the girl investigates
sorcha:
But would it be more interesting
>sorcha:
If the friend was a guy instead?
chris:
yea it wud b
sorcha:
Hmm
sorcha:
But I need a reason
chris:
kul i love writing stories
sorcha:
He's less likely to have been raped
chris:
wot 4 the death?
sorcha:
No no no
sorcha:
a = friend, ariel = main character
sorcha:
Ariel's friend A cuts, she knows, she eventually finds out why
sorcha:
A dies
sorcha:
They think it's suicide
sorcha:
Ariel remembers A saying he/she was afraid of dying etc
sorcha:
Ariel thinks A was murdered
sorcha:
That's as far as I've got
sorcha:
omg
sorcha:
Mark is SO like Andrew McNeil
chris:
thats gud
sorcha:
He can think of really good stories, but is really silly and can't write
sorcha:
Oh wait
sorcha:

sorcha:
Probably
chris:
!
sorcha:
And we could like, put it on my account AND yours
sorcha:
sorcha:
Fun fun fun!
chris:
so its like we are both writing the one story?
sorcha:
yes
sorcha:
now, we need a story
chris:
!
sorcha:
cos i don't think you really want to do my crazy suicidey murdery one
chris:
ok
sorcha:
lol
chris:
i dont mind but im more into the supernatural kinda stuff
sorcha:
it is
sorcha:
lol
sorcha:
supernatural AND investigationy thing
sorcha:
go me
chris:
YEAY
sorcha:
So yeah
sorcha:
What? lol
chris:
what?
sorcha:
Do you want to?
chris:
yea
sorcha:
okay so um
sorcha:
the main female character is ariel
sorcha:
she's alive
sorcha:
the main male, or maybe female, you decide
sorcha:
is...
sorcha:
you decide :
sorcha:
*
sorcha:
s/he is alive for part of it
chris:
hang on a minute
sorcha:
k
sorcha:
i was thinking we could do like, chapter 1 - ariel
chapter 2 - other person
3 - ariel
4 - other person, but dead and looking back
5 - ariel
6 - other person's flashbacks
sorcha:
like that sort of
chris:
so changing charcter each chapter? yea ok
sorcha:
yeah
chris:
and we write the chapters with the charcters we use or sothing?
sorcha:
umm
sorcha:
i don't know
sorcha:
could you rephrase that? lol
chris:
ok
chris:
ok
chris:
wel you just made the chacter ariel. i am makin the other main charcter. so do you write the chapters with ariel minly in it and i write the chapters with my charcter mainly in it and we like put them together. understand ? or not?
chris:
*character
sorcha:
umm
sorcha:
i was thinking more like, from the characters' point of view?
chris:
or not im just askin
sorcha:
Like I, my, me etc
sorcha:
?
chris:
ok yea
sorcha:
so it's from the chara's POV
sorcha:
rather than like
chris:
yes
sorcha:
third person, mainyl about them
sorcha:
*mainly
sorcha:
okay
sorcha:
lol
chris:
he she
chris:
etc
sorcha:
yes
sorcha:
okay
sorcha:
so for yours
sorcha:
name, gender etc?
chris:
i shall call him Mason
sorcha:
okay
sorcha:
and why exactly would he self-harm or whatever?
sorcha:
that's kind of a key, and it's what provokes ariel to befriend him, etc
chris:
we could do it that he was being black mailed about sothing big. and he couldnt take it anymore and so "killed himself" but it turns out to be murder
sorcha:
i originally had sofie (mason when he was female, lol) as kind of an outcast in school, and ariel wanted to know why she cut herself cos she noticed the scars so they made friends and ariel finds out sofie was raped and then sofie dies and the parents think it was suicide but it wasn't
chris:
or sothing
sorcha:
ooo
sorcha:
cool
sorcha:
a rape
sorcha:
sorry
sorcha:
rape fixation
sorcha:
lmao
sorcha:
j/k
chris:
that sounds gd
chris:
so are they like what age?
sorcha:
I was thinking 15/16?
sorcha:
the first sentence in mine was "i first noticed the scars on sofie's arms when we were both thirteen"
sorcha:
and later on it says "i first noticed the scars on sofie's arms when we were both thirteen. i only realised she hadn't killed herself two years later."
sorcha:
sorcha:
go meee
chris:
kul!!
chris:
so did she kill herself?
sorcha:
no
chris:
or was it secretly ariel?
chris:
sorcha:
lol good idea
sorcha:
i was gonna do loads of twists so that the reader didn't find out until the end
sorcha:
OMG
sorcha:
i read this book this morning
sorcha:
called "plain truth" by jodi picoult
sorcha:
and this amish girl got pregnant and her baby died and she was charged of the murder
sorcha:
and she said that she honestly couldn't remember what happened, that she fell asleep holding him
sorcha:
and it looks like you're never going to find out how he died
sorcha:
and at the end the mother tells the lawyer that she killed the baby!!
sorcha:
sorcha:
lol
chris:
ive got this thing for the computer its a novel writing thig and in the tips it says you shudn't let the killer b found out at the end unless the story line is gd
sorcha:
hmm
sorcha:
we could make it look, like...
sorcha:
mason has killed himself
sorcha:
but then
sorcha:
it looks like he was murdered
chris:
by
sorcha:
but it turns out that he tried to, but it wasn't working fast enough and he was in loads of pain, so somebody helped him
chris:
soone who is in parts of the bk
sorcha:
yeah
sorcha:
like umm
sorcha:
a teacher that he has a relationship with
chris:
in the obvious places where the killer would be but its not so obvious
sorcha:
chris:
to the reader
sorcha:
say he was seeing a teacher. someone, possibly another teacher, raped or threatened or whatever the teacher he's seeing
sorcha:
and he saw
sorcha:
and the evil person blackmails him or something
sorcha:
and starts following him
sorcha:
and you see him following earlier on in the book
chris:
like at the cri scene mayb a bystander is seen leaning on a tree watchin and then he is seen sowhere is and all but the reader just thinks s/he is a random person
sorcha:
but later on, when mason's all ready dead, he starts talking about the threatening or whatever
sorcha:
hmm
sorcha:
yeah
sorcha:
but they'll know
chris:
just a suggestion
sorcha:
"why are they describing one bystander, why is he so important... oh! he did it"
sorcha:
well
sorcha:
probably not
sorcha:
ol
sorcha:
*lol
chris:
sorcha:
or he could be there at the first time
sorcha:
okay so let's get all these ideas sorted, lol.
sorcha:
is mason going out with a teacher? XD
sorcha:
we can put their ages up a bit too
chris:
i no this sounds totally stupid but i bin watching Ho and Away and there was a stalker in the town and it turned out to be the bubbly nurse
chris:
it was really gd
sorcha:
haha
sorcha:
rob dreams about interior design
sorcha:
lmao
chris:
you would never had known it was her but wen you find out it all pieces yogether
sorcha:
cooolish
sorcha:
so, we need a motive
sorcha:
mason was killed (if he was) because he witnessed something
sorcha:
wait
chris:
a murder
sorcha:
that's kind of starting right in the middle
sorcha:
lol
chris:
and the killer is hunting him down
sorcha:
yeah
sorcha:
okay but who did he see killed?
chris:
and finally finds him
sorcha:
it was someone close to him probably
chris:
and makes it lk like suicide
sorcha:
and victims almost always are close to the murderer
sorcha:
so say, if he WAS having an affair with a female teacher (i like that idea, sorry! lol)
chris:
it should be his dad! his dad killed his mum and no mayb not
sorcha:
he was in the room and they were like
sorcha:
going to shag
sorcha:
but someone knocks the door
sorcha:
and she puts him in a cupboard to hide
chris:
and walks in
sorcha:
cos obviously nobody can know
sorcha:
and another male teacher comes in
sorcha:
who somehow knows about the guy
sorcha:
and the teacher
chris:
and the person is the teachers obsessive husband
sorcha:
and the male teacher fancies the female teacher
sorcha:
ooo
sorcha:
yes!
sorcha:
obsessive husband ROCKS!
sorcha:
posessive husband
sorcha:
lol
sorcha:
and he strangles her right there
chris:
who has already been to jail for attack
sorcha:
and mason chokes or gasps or something
chris:
YES!
sorcha:
and the killer hears him
sorcha:
and throws open the cupboard
chris:
and the guy opens the cupboard
sorcha:
but mason has a penknife and stabs him in the ankle
chris:
and mason just escapes!
chris:
YES YES YES!
sorcha:
and the husband yells and folds
sorcha:
and then mason runs!
sorcha:
crying!
sorcha:
and leaving his beloved fuck buddy behind
chris:
hiding in the bathrm or sothing!
sorcha:
yes
sorcha:
the girls'
sorcha:
oh oh oh
chris:
yes
sorcha:
i know we're on a roll and this is really off-topic
sorcha:
but once rebecca (first year who is now 2nd year)
sorcha:
went into the girls' toilets in school
sorcha:
and there was a miss sitting on the toilet eating ice cream!!!
sorcha:
lmao
chris:
LMAO
chris:
back top the story
sorcha:
okay
chris:
and mason is so scared and keeps quiet and ariel notices a difference in mason's behaviour
sorcha:
and notices that he's cutting
sorcha:
... behind his ears
sorcha:
or his arms
sorcha:
whichever
sorcha:
go with arms actually
sorcha:
okay
sorcha:
umm
sorcha:
and then, she gets him to tell her but he only tells a bit of it, which leads her to believe...
sorcha:
something
chris:
and when the announcnt of the murdered teacher is made ariel sees mason near to tears
sorcha:
that HE killed somebody
sorcha:
yes
chris:
and when he is found dead and it lks like suicide the case is closed
sorcha:
and he has to leave in assembly
sorcha:
and after the first two classes are over he still isn't back
chris:
but arielknows it was sothing to do with teacher
chris:
and she starts investigating!
sorcha:
and she runs to the girls' toilets cos she knows he hides there sometimes
sorcha:
and finds him dead!
sorcha:
and his wrists are slit
sorcha:
so it looks like suicide
chris:
and his throat is cut!
sorcha:
LMAO i thought about that but nobody would kill themselve that way, would they?
sorcha:
but in The Virgin Suicides Mary put her head in the oven
sorcha:
Didn't work
sorcha:
okay anyway
chris:
yea they would
sorcha:
ariel thinks it is, and thinks it has something to do with miss... carey. just think of a name later right? lol
chris:
if you cut your throat you have ti to cut your wrists as well because you live for about a minute
sorcha:
hmm
chris:
ok
sorcha:
i guess so
sorcha:
but would a 17 year old boy think about that?
chris:
i gess not
chris:
OH!
sorcha:
if it was supposed to look like he killed himself wilfully, then he would probably just go for the old wrist-cutting thing
chris:
he should cut his wrists and leave a secret ssage sowhere
chris:
for ariel
sorcha:
how could he?
sorcha:
he didn't kill himself
sorcha:
he was like, ambushed or something
chris:
a clue or sothing eplaining his death
sorcha:
and just by pure chance he was in the girls' toilets
sorcha:
lol
sorcha:
thrown in
sorcha:
my mrs woman's husband
chris:
yea but if psycho husband cuts his wrsits he leaves him to die slowly.
sorcha:
and the police start thinking that MASON killed Mrs Woman!
chris:
wen psycho leaves bathrm
chris:
mason yea mayb not
sorcha:
Cos the husband said he was stalking her
chris:
yes!
sorcha:
or something
chris:
the reason for the suicide!
chris:
"
sorcha:
supposedly
sorcha:
They think so
chris:
yea
sorcha:
They think he didn't want to face justice, or was afraid, or was overridden by guilt from his crime
sorcha:
But Ariel knows that can't be it
sorcha:
This is going so totally cool lmao
chris:
and when the police check the body of mrs carey they find mason hair on her clothes (from when they were doin whatever they were doin) but they think he killed her. husbands skin and all is on her clothes because their married
sorcha:
okay
chris:
so it points to mason
sorcha:
and mason's skin cells are under her nails
sorcha:
and they think he strangled her and she was clawing him to escape
chris:
yea
sorcha:
but it was just a very.. passionate moment
sorcha:
lol
sorcha:
okay
sorcha:
i'm gonna save this convo cos it rocks
chris:
so am i
