By Request: Happy Hollisters fanfic

[naomikritzer]

rivka requested that I post up Molly's fanfic. Molly made a little book by folding paper over and stapling it. The cover says The Happy Hellosters. The back says:

Peter is 12 years old.
Pat i ten years old.
Niky is 7 years old. Molly is 6 years old. Susin i 4 years old.

(She renamed all the characters. Well, you know, she's trying to file off the serial numbers.)

The story:

Good bye room. Molly Helloister said as she went into her room one last time. The Helloisters wher moveing. I'm going to miss you Molly aded.

Come on Molly the rest of the family shoted. Its time to go. Here's wnat you need to no abot them. Peter is 12. Pat is 10. Niky is 7. Molly is 6. Susen i 4. Mom and dad are nice. Thay also have a dog, Zen. Thay are all Happy and thay all have the last name Helloister.

When thay got in the car to leve, lots of kids started to say good bye.
(Picture on opposite page shows a van with a dog's head hanging out)

That nigt thay stoped at a caben renting place. Thay rented a big caben.
(Picture shows a cabin)

The next day thay fineily arivd at thare new home. I like it here Susen exclamed. The end
(Picture shows a yellow, orange, and green house with a red door.)

Today she started another one. This one has more pages so presumably it'll be longer. It's not yet finished. She did, however, write the title ("The Happy Helloisters First Mystery") and the back cover copy, which says:

When the happy hellosters here thares a treshure in thare house thare exidid. But when Molly + susen get kinaped thay are woryed.

The story so far:

Mom, can we go for a bik ride? Molly said speeking for her brothers and sisters. Yes you may. She said. Would you like a boste Susen? pat asked her. Yes please susen said.
(Picture shows a girl on a bike)

Just then a girl and a boy walked by. Hi said the girl. Were John + Annie Henter. Did you no thares a treshere in your house yes thare is. No one nos where it is.
(Picture shows a thought balloon full of green money and what looks like a gold bar, with five little bubble trails leading to the thought bubble, implying that five people are having the same avaricious thoughts.)

That's as far as she's gotten.

She's planning a series. I can't wait.

My husband brought a whole bunch of HH books with him to our house from his childhood. I'd never heard of them before. Any good?

I haven't actually read any of them. Molly seems to like them a lot, though.

I love it! Especially the simultaneous thoughts of money and gold "treshere."

Oh wow. I'm strangely fascinated by the fanfic, despite never having read any of the originals. It reminds me of Daegaer and Gerard Manly Fenn. Only 6.

I am exidid about the treshure too!

I love how big her ambitions are, with writing, and how she just forges ahead past her, you know, technical limits.

That's a lovely way to put it.

While transcribing this I was wondering if I should explain quotation marks to her, but really, they'd just get in the way of her fun. She'll figure them out eventually (or be formally taught them in school).

I did explain question marks and exclamation points to her at some point, mostly because I figured she'd find the !!!!! fun to use. (Which she does!) (!!!)
