The reason her name is Coraline is because he had actually meant to type Caroline but misspelled it and when he saw Coraline he said he “knew it was someone’s name” a...

Re: Coraline - the Beginning - Chapters 1 & 2
Chapter One: If a door that was locked, was unlocked and opened onto a brick wall, personally I would definitely find it very creepy and odd. Now firstly, I would always inspect a house thoroughly before purchasing, so if there was such an oddity, I would never buy it. But for a moment, let’s assum...

Thank you for organising this wonderful event Tarma, Sky, and Emily. I really loved it all! I must mention that adding in all those specially designed letters were a pain, but that's alright it was fun regardless.
