They always started and ended the same way, these letters I keep receiving: "Dear reader," to "From, writer." They also came in the same unknown way every Wednesday, and though I knew not who sent them, it never really bothered me. But all that changed on the day I received the seventeenth letter.

Northanger Abbey follows seventeen-year-old Gothic novel aficionado Catherine Morland and family friends Mr. and Mrs. Allen as they visit Bath. It is Catherine's first visit there. She meets new friends, such as Isabella Thorpe, and goes to balls. Catherine finds herself pursued by Isabella's brother, the rough-mannered, slovenly John Thorpe, and by her real love interest, Henry Tilney. She also becomes friends with Eleanor Tilney, Henry's younger sister. Henry captivates her with his view on novels and his knowledge of history and the world. General Tilney (Henry and Eleanor's father) invites Catherine to visit their estate, Northanger Abbey, which, from her reading of Ann Radcliffe's Gothic novel The Mysteries of Udolpho, she expects to be dark, ancient and full of Gothic horrors and fantastical mystery.

When Suzy ran away with Sam in Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, she brought a suitcase full of books with her. Later, Wes Anderson released a short video with animated sequences of each book. He left us with a few tantalizing sentences and images from which to construct our own stories. Here's what he gave us from The Francine Odysseys: "His eyes downcast, his kingdom in ruins, Mynar pressed his heavy paw through the rippling surface of the cool shallows and down to its stone floor. ‘My people were once lead my a great and noble beast and I no longer see his face in this reflection.’ Meanwhile, on the plains of Tabitha, Francine rested. There would be another time for war." Building on that, I'm writing the full story of The Francine Odysseys, in all its corny 1960s YA glory. If I know anything about Suzy as a character, it's that she has good taste in books. The books that she brought along with her on her adventure deserve to exist.
