Have any of you read Enid Blyton? I don't know if you get Enid Blyton in America/ Canada/ wherever-else-you-are-that-isn't-the-uk, but she's really cool.
Her books include Mallory Towers, Twins at St. Claire's, Famous Five, Secret Seven.
This is a Famous Five-type storybook, so the characters have got to be upper-middle-class and say, "Spiffing!", "Smashing!", "Jolly gumdrops!", "Old chap!", "You're a brick!" etc. lots while solving mysteries and doing ridiculously dangerous things like running into rings of smugglers (and not getting killed), being patronising to (incompetent) policemen and drinking LOTS of ginger beer.

Location-
The family country home? A small sea-side hotel? You guys decide. I recommend something near the sea...

Character Slots- (Other ideas along these lines, not all character slots need to be filled):
The Duncan Children- (can be siblings or cousins.)
- Adeline Duncan- TaylorLove
-
-
-
-
A Duncan Child's friend from boarding school-
-
-
Local farmer/fisherman's son who can show them around the cliffs/ take them in a boat to an island-
-
Dog (Yes, this character will post and find clues and be adored by all. Can't speak)
-
Parents/ Adults (can be an extra. Not necessary- I could just post what they're like and then everyone can just interact with them.)
Smugglers/ pirates/ general villains- (I'll make a DT and we'll discuss stuff there. GOODIES, NO PEEKING!)

Excellent! Unless lots of people want to be Duncans I'll take one as well.

Still accepting writers?

Name: Isabelle Watson (Adeline's friend from boarding school, if that's OK with Taylor)

Age: 15

Appearance: Isabelle stands at five and a half feet, and has a graceful build. She has curly auburn hair, usually tied up in a bun, and cinnamon brown eyes. She usually wears some sort of blouse or button-up shirt, and a short skirt with pockets.

Personality: Isabelle is very independent. She has a "good girl" act that she puts on at school, but this is mostly so that people will trust her. In reality, she has an uncontrollable rebellious streak, and there isn't much she won't do. She's quite resourceful, and she almost always gets what she wants. Her friends can trust her with anything, but around enemies, she's completely unpredictable.

This sounds awesome! Can I be the dog? *puppy eyes (pun intended)* And whose dog would I be?

Name: Digby Duncan (Adeline's cousin)
Age: 10
Appearance:
Spoiler
Image
Digby is tall for his age and rather scrawny, with short blonde hair and big round glasses. His features are still quite boyish, despite his thinking himself quite a grown-up.
Personality: He considers himself far too smart to be running around with other children, but is quietly intrigued by the mysteries they find themselves tangled up in. When he is at home, one would normally find him buried in his studies, and if he has no homework to do, he'll have his nose in a book.
