Think Anne of Green Gables meets the Great Gatsby... We're so excited to introduce you to our characters. <div><br /></div><div>What IS Diamond Gothic? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Minion Pro'; font-size: 13px; ">DG began as a short narrative written one bored & rainy evening in Wilmington, North Carolina where I was filming the final season of One Tree Hill. If you know me at all, you know I have a MILLION balls in the air and the idea of starting a new project wasn’t even an option. <i>But if I could collaborate...</i> I thought... And within a few days the concept of a rotating internet novel was born!</span></div> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Minion Pro; min-height: 16.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Minion Pro"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Without hesitation the HelloGiggles team outstretched a hand to help a fellow sista. They introduced me to the lovely and hilarious JC Coccoli who I knew would lend a playful and smart-as-a-whip voice to the story; and, for another unique voice, I approached long-time galpal, actress & writer Abigail Spencer, to be our third authoress. I sent out chapter one and said “lets play!”</span></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Minion Pro; min-height: 16.0px"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"></span><br /></p> <p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Minion Pro"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Thus began months of improvisational writing, each author “yes, and”ing the author before her, no one of us knowing what will happen next. Each chapter is approximately 3 pages long-- just enough to wet your palate and keep you coming back for more.</span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Minion Pro"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px"><br /></span></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Minion Pro"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px">Stay tuned to HelloGiggles and DiamondGothic.com for deets!
