When Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy agrees to accompany his friend Charles Bingley to his new estate in Hertfordshire, neither man could have anticipated how it would affect their lives, particularly in the form of the lovely Jane and Elizabeth Bennet! But when pride, prejudice, and a meddlesome Caroline Bingley succeed in separating the two couples, Mr. Darcy's cousin, Lady Anne DeBourgh, decides to take matters into her own hands. With help from Colonel Richard Fitzwilliam, Georgiana Darcy, and the newly introduced Mr. Dean Montgomery, will she succeed in bringing a happily ever after to those that she loves? This story is not for the Jane Austen purist, for although it has all of the original characters that we have come to love over the years, and it does include the main plot and story lines, it is called a variation for a reason, and will more often than not stray on some points and characteristics of the characters as it is from my own vision. Nonetheless it is strictly in old English, and will remain completely within the bounds of propriety!

A just-for-fun Book, for the fans of "Not That Interested" This is a Q&A style book from my characters' perspectives! And the kicker is that YOU people will be asking questions! SO basically, if you have a burning question for EMV, Mina, Shehzer, Adiba, Inayah etc. All you have to do, is comment here. Perhaps you might ask Kulsoom Nani for some hair-fall advice...Or You might ask Simba about his love life...Or you might ask Devil Spawn how he feels about Floyd Mayweather... You get the point. Be creative with the questions! DISCLAIMER: SPOILERS AHEAD!! IF YOU HAVEN'T READ "NOT THAT INTERESTED" *This is something unique that I came up with ON MY OWN. If you steal my idea, I will hurt you. Ok? If you're doing something inspired by this, atleast have the decency to credit me.*

Sometimes it isn't possible to include every single idea I have in my books. Sometimes I have to cut out hilarious or awesome scenes because they don't really fit, or they are too slow for the pace of the book. So, Skript will include random moments from ALL of my characters! It could be before or after or during when the book is taking place. Sometimes it could be a re imagining of a scene I have already written! They are just for fun, and will contain only that specific scene, and not a complete story line. Much like Ask SAJMRA, I will take submissions for Skript ideas! I'm excited for this :) Stay awesome <3

All the absolute nonsense that used to go on my wall has now been placed into a very neat and compact book. Yes, you know I love to talk so beware- updates will be frequent and might or might not make sense
