I am going to tell you a secret. Everything is about wanting. Everything. Things happen because of people wanting. Watch closely, and you’ll see what I mean.
— David Mitchell, Ghostwritten (Hodder and Stoughton, 1999) (via Alive on All Channels)

I didn’t really think of her face when I thought of her. She was just there, a colour that didn’t have a name yet. The idea of her.

Whenever you think the Animorphs act out-of-character in the ghostwritten books, tell yourself it's because the Ellimist and Crayak were secretly changing their personalities as part of their game.
The only good thing about Ellimist and Crayak is that we can probably blame every plot hole in the series on them.

does anyone still care for biadore, i’ve not seen many fics about them on a lot of platforms in a while and ive had so many ideas but ive not done anything because i dont know if many people still read about them so just wondering because if people do want to read then i will submit here :))💞💞
Hey darling! I could definitely have talked about numbers and Biadore being the #1 most popular ship of all time on this blog...but instead I asked one of my friends who writes Biadore to ghostwrite an answer:
Dear anon. Think of ships like Tinkerbell: they only die if you stop believing in them / writing them. So if you have ideas or stories just go for it. Even if nobody reads it who cares? You wrote something, that’s cool. Writing is cool. Maybe show some love to other writers while you’re at it because they’re probably thinking the same thing you are. Love, a biadore writer who is very much still writing biadore. PS: show some love to the admin too because they’re doing their best and we love them.

Case Studies: Famous Books and Notable Works by Ghost
Tumblr media
Ghostwriting is the delicate craft of writing on behalf of someone else, often without direct recognition for the effort. Though submerged in anonymity, the influence of ghostwriters has augmented various literary works and other media throughout history. This blog post presents a collection of famous books and notable works created by talented ghostwriters.
1. The Nancy Drew Mystery Stories
The classic Nancy Drew mystery series, originally published under the pseudonym Carolyn Keene, is a product of a host of ghostwriters commissioned by the Stratemeyer Syndicate, a book-packaging firm. The first author, Mildred Wirt Benson, penned 23 volumes, establishing the character's iconic personality and style. Subsequent ghostwriters continued to carry the mantle, maintaining Carolyn Keene as the author and keeping the series alive for generations.
Key takeaways: Ghostwriters can preserve and extend a literary legacy.
2. The Hardy Boys Series
Similar to Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys series also emerged from the Stratemeyer Syndicate. Initially published under the pseudonym Franklin W. Dixon, Leslie McFarlane authored the first sixteen volumes, and others followed, continuing the enduring success of the books.
Key takeaways: Teamwork between several ghostwriters can ensure a series' longevity.
3. The James Bond Series
Ian Fleming, the creator of the iconic James Bond character, penned twelve novels and two short stories. After his death, several authors were entrusted to continue the legacy, including John Gardner, Raymond Benson, and Sebastian Faulks. These skilled writers expanded the collection, authored some well-received storylines, and perpetuated the enigmatic James Bond mystique.
Key takeaways: Ghostwriters can contribute to a franchise while retaining its essence and authenticity.
4. The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries - TV Adaptation
When the original book series transitioned onto the small screen, the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries TV show used ghostwriters for many script ideas and episode storylines, effectively relying on these skilled writers to execute a faithful adaptation of the beloved stories.
Key takeaways: Ghostwriters' versatility extends from print to screen adaptations.
5. The Autobiography of Malcolm X
Journalist Alex Haley was the driving force behind penning The Autobiography of Malcolm X. While the book is based on interviews with Malcolm X, Haley's masterful narrative structure and writing style transformed the collection of thoughts and events into an impactful and insightful work.
Key takeaways: Ghostwriters can collaborate with a subject to co-create a meaningful and engaging autobiographical piece.
6. The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew and The James Bond Series - Graphic Novels
With a firm grip on both print and screen, the franchises have also seamlessly infiltrated the world of graphic novels. Different authors and ghostwriters contributed in shaping these adaptations for a new medium and audience.
Key takeaways: Ghostwriters are adaptable, with the ability to generate content tailored to various media.
Conclusion
Ghostwriters have indelibly shaped numerous influential works and adaptations across diverse media, proving their significance in the creative landscape. Although often uncredited, their unique contributions deserve recognition and praise as their talents breathe life into enduring narratives and beloved characters. Ghostwriters remain indispensable figures in the literary and media world, their value evident in the case studies shared above.

Book Review - Nineteen Steps by Millie Bobby Brown and Kathleen McGurl
⭐⭐ Rating: 2 out of 5. I wasn’t ever planning on reading this book because it just didn’t sound like my kind of thing. A historical romance set around a tragic event during World War 2? Yes, I like history but the romance of it all. Setting a romance in WWII is just an easy way to manipulate the reader. I could already guess how the love story was going to end. I also felt like Millie Bobby…

I am in no way a royalist, but with TV shows like The Crown and never-ending news coverage of royal drama, it was a bit hard to avoid hearing about this book. It generated a bit of a media storm when it came out, with plenty of eyebrow-raising quotes being eagerly shared by news outlets – especially those related to Prince Harry’s sex life. Ultimately, it was curiosity that let me to spending a…

Spooky Season is already in swing and with so much I have planned this fall, I figured I would get the first novella started and it kills! 
Horror author Ronald Malfi writes novellas and puts them into a collection. In one such collection called Ghostwritten, he writes about books doing more than just giving knowledge to the curious. The first novella was amazing to read and certainly gives a new twist on ‘cursed’ productions. 
In Skin of Her Teeth, a writing contractor has a client that goes off to his own cabin to write a screenplay for a book. Little do they both know this book has more within its pages than anyone could ever realize. The contractor has not heard from her client in a month and goes up to check out the situation. From what she sees, her client has gone off the deep end and claims this book for the screenplay is alive. As skeptics typically do, she does not believe him and ends up breaking down the crates that he had created to lock this monster in and grabbing the screenplay to make the deadline. Once back in her apartment, the book proves itself to be a little more than meets the eye.

Happy birthday, Philza!
Did you know?
Phil is from northeast of England.
He chose the Death room in Cellbit's castle.
Crows make up the in-game form of Philza's Twitch chat. This has been brought up in numerous streams, and Tallulah frequently includes the crows in her goodbyes before she goes to sleep. Even other streams refer to Philza's chat as crows!
Phil's wife, Kristin (IGN: misstrixtin), has been canonized as the Goddess of Death.
His skin is an edited version of the Bleach character Kisuke Urahara.
Maximus has said that Phil's voice sounds beautiful, "like a mandolin", with Baghera seconding the notion by adding that it was angelic.
