Well I obviously didn't delete all this shit.
I got a new MacBook, last fall, and looking at my files for Books 4 & 5 I realized I had lost all my fonts. So I had to reinstall them, and then I noticed my formatting (section break, insert blank page, no header on new chapter pages etc) was all weird. So I'm still working on that. But I still like to read them. And Book 6, The Babysitter II, which is really messed up and will probably never be published.
There was a piece on Francine Pascal in Entertainment Weekly. She says people tell her "I used to hate to read... " and then they found SVH books. Which I first misread as, I Used to Hate to Read SVH Books (because they were terrible, LOL). She did admit to the thorough Whiteness of Sweet Valley. "Those were different times," ugh.
I still kind of hope there will be an SVH movie, but I don't care as much about SVH as I do SVT. SVT, they were younger so there could be ghosts and curses and shit that didn't make sense like Eva Sullivan (staying 8 years old for 25 years, apparently. Or being 33 but still girl-sized, so she still fit into her nightgown and stupid bunny slippers?) And their mom was Alice "Wakefield" even at age 12, with her married name because the ghostwriter was too lazy to look up her maiden name (Robertson, which we as readers knew) or else they thought readers would be confused. (We were more confused by your weak-ass plot. Spoiler alert: Eva wasn't a dead Freddy Kreuger-esque monster influencing the twins' [and their friends'] dreams; she was a child who had been babysat by the twins' mom back in the day, who was sleepwalking and walked off a balcony. And didn't die but stuck around planning her "revenge". Suddenly, Alice [Robertson] Wakefield has this aversion to Halloween that was never mentioned before. How handy!).
I'm just rambling at this point. You know all of this (fictional fan of my Saccharin Valley Twits books, who is reading this blog and is a person not a bot, and is well-versed in Sweet Valley Twins).
