The Konstantine family in District Eight is my pet project. It's a family of three siblings based not only off my real life siblings and I, but also some of my favorite books and book concepts. They run the local library and live in the apartment above it.

ANDORRA SHILOH KONSTANTINE // HOUSE OF LEAVES
(Female, 13, Kim Yoo Jung FC)

Andorra is based off Mark Z. Danielewski's House Of Leaves, except instead of being lost in a labyrinthine house, she's lost in her own imagination and is in love with the Man In The Moon. I'm going to attempt to write her posts in the same format as her bio: a maze of footnotes and asides. She is energetic and outgoing when she can get out of her own head, but often feels ignored and so she finds ways to amuse herself instead.

CHARLOTTE "CHARLIE" KONSTANTINE // PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER
(Female, 17, Moon Geun Young FC)

Charlie is based off Stephen Chbosky's Perks Of Being A Wallflower, except instead of writing letters containing all her secrets to a stranger, she writes her letters in the margins and between the text of the most neglected, forgotten library books she can find. ~~She's also blatantly based off me.~~ I'm going to attempt to write her posts in the same format as her bio: first person letters. She has a blood disease and is often frustrated by her own limitations, yet because of them she tends to appreciate small moments more than most people. She is often incredibly melodramatic in her own head, but tries to downplay everything to the people around her.

NIKOLAI "NIKO" KONSTANTINE // WIP // CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE
(Male, 18, super secret Azn FC of glory)

Niko will be based off Choose Your Own Adventure style books. I'll attempt to explain him more after I've worked out the functionality of his bio a bit more.

I'm looking for some people who would be up for threading with one of these characters. Please keep in mind that their posting formats are experimental and may be difficult for some people to thread with. I'm not entirely sure how it'll work out until I try, but if I can make it work I think it'll be really interesting. Anyone up for it?

On a related, yet different note: I will not be opening up the Konstantines as a family plot, but I have been contemplating turning this into a District Eight library plot. All characters involved would be based off books and I would encourage experimental bios/posting formats that played off their concepts. Think dictionary or encyclopedia entries, a character told in noir format, poetry (Shel Silverstein anyone?!), instructional manuals, who dunnit murder mysteries, fairy tales, etc. Maybe no one else is as crazy as I am though, which is why I'm asking for interest instead of just making it. XD

I'm thinking it would be open to anyone who wanted to join, however. I would not outline any characters, people could just sign up with a book, concept, or genre to personify and then follow their own inspiration. We could plot the characters together in an explosion of oddball nerdiness! More of a focus on friendships or maybe some school drama. (Perhaps they could be a library study group?! Lol.)

Anywho, if you'd potentially be interested, then give me a heads up and we could throw some ideas around. ^^

Hi there :3

Ok so I have a couple of ideas and idk if you want me to post them here or not so I will anyway yolo

Right so Jon is based off a book character anyway so yeah he's always up for threading but

My favourite series of books ever in the history of series of books is the Chaos Walking trilogy by Patrick Ness. You've probably heard of them/read them because they're spectacular and you read but in case you haven't they're available (as I've found) in your local airport bookstore and even though they're a bit childish they're so amazing and now I can't even think about them without crying etc.

Ok so the two main characters are a boy called Todd and a girl called Viola and I think that either one would be interesting to make so yeah you can choose. The concept of the books is that they live in another world in the future where there was a massive chemical war between humans and the native species of the planet and a chemical was released that meant that every man who was in range of the germ suddenly had all his innermost thoughts errupting out of his head in the form of Noise which is illustrated in the book as this:

yep. and I think that would be a really fun concept to put in Todd's biography if I can work out how to do pretty coding doodads etc. Personality-wise, Todd would have these outbursts in the form of basically tearing things apart and painting random pages in books black to try and illustrate what it looks like inside his head and like jsut having no self-control and stuff and loads of curiiosity. Also I'd love if he could have a dog because in the book he has a dog ~~it's the perfect dog and it's loyal and smart and OH GOD MANCHEE </3~~ or maybe just an imaginary dog that he scribbles on the corners of pages he's reading so that it's always there? that's quite a cute notion actually I like it.

Viola, on the other hand, is pretty much the calmest person you'll ever meet on the outside, except on the inside she also has this turmoil because she thinks she can read people literally like the books on the shelves and so always reads them wrong and gets all frustrated idk I'll have to read the books again because she was never my favourite character.

So yeah. Todd basically. Or Toddette, because a girl could be fun too.

Thanks!

EDIT: I DIDN'T REALISE BUT IT'S BEING MADE INTO A FILM IN 2014 WOW MY FEELS CAN I PLS MAKE THIS CHARACTER<3
