Evans: Hi, everybody...this is a joint account between me and my very good friend Ms. Black. Here will you experience the wonder of our combined and very nearly twin minds, I'm assured...right now we are working on a horror story you'll see is called Sloan Mill Sanatorium, or Sloan Mill. I really hope you enjoy it, and anything else that is to come. Personally I enjoy reviews, movie soundtracks, and the season autumn. I will now trust Ms. Black to do a much better job at bio-ing than me!

Black: Hola, peeps. As Evans already said, this is our joint account, and we shall be posting Sloan Mill here as soon as we can. I love reviews, soundtracks, music in general, horror movies, fall, and the movie The Invisible. I have not done a much better job at bio-ing than Ms. Evans, but that's a-okay. I am quite excited for this story to be posted, and for us to get some feedback on it. :)

Evans: (looks up) Wow...you really didn't do a much better job than me...

Black: Well, pardon moi, Ms. Evans. I'm not exactly Expert of All Things Bio, you know.

Evans: We may bicker, friends, but it's important to know I always win.

Black: But it is also imperitive to know that Ms. Evans has a habit of over-exaggerating her level of awesome. ;) Which means that, no, I win sometimes too. Skank.

Evans: (rolls eyes) She gets defensive, and that's where the insults come in...

Black: (rolls eyes back) Actually, the insults come in when Ms. Evans gets offensive. (raises eyebrow)

Evans: (laughs) Oh puh-leaze, we shan't bother them anymore...

Black: Why not? At least we're making the bio page interesting! xD

Evans: Oh, very well...what else can we tell them about ourselves?

Black: Ummmm. We've known each other since the third grade. We started writing one-sentence stories together in sixth grade social studies class. Now we live 11 hours apart but are still just as close as ever, and are finally writing stuff together again. Anything else?

Evans: We are both musically inclinded, hate the Twilight books and the Disney channel, and can spend a few hours talking about what soups we like and dislike. I rather think that covers it, don't you?

Black: Well, we could also add in that we are THOSE PEOPLE who go and bang on hotel-room doors where our sleeping friend is, and then sprint to the elevator, head up three floors, and get off to see that our "sleeping" friend is walking toward us from the stairwell. But other than that, yes, that covers it.

Evans: And that we ran like mad from our sleeping friend...(sighs) Ah, good memories of pure terror...yup. Oh, and my favorite color is blue-green, and I will live by the sea one day, with no idea of what I want to be

Black: My favorite colors are black, sky blue, and lime green, and I want to live in the mountains. LIKE A HERMIT. Except sociable.

Evans: Too bad you're ALREADY a hermit!

Black: Le GASP. YOU DID NOT GO THERE!

Evans: (aloof)

Black: (rolls eyes) (sigh) Ms. Evans, why don't you tell them about our upcoming story. The history of it and the like.

Evans: (snaps into lecture mode) Right. This Sloan Mill story...well, the history of it is this: Ms. Black proposed this idea of creating a story in the first person, but without using the word "I" outside of quotaions, that is, dialouge. I thought the idea sounded difficult, but I was willing to give it a try. So we created our chief characters, deciding we would switch views every other chapter. Damien Grant is who I ended up with, as Ms. Black created the...shall we say...vivacious Paige Lancaster, who are the focal members of the group we call the DDC, or Delightfully Doomed Children; a collation of their friends and relatives who find themselves being treated very unfairly in the horror plot Ms. Black first suggested and we have built on together--built it into the horror-fest it promises to be. Through many late-night sessions of feverish writing, I believe we have come as close to nocturnal as people still expected to function in daylight hours can be...but all for a good cause, now our obession. We both hope you enjoy this...we've been creeping each other out for weeks at your expence!

Black: (applauds) Very well said, Ms. Evans. Not much else to add to that!

UPDATES: Chapter five is up now! Read and review, my horror-loving lovelies!
