Introduction to my story:
Okay, so here's the deal. I have "mapped out" my story, so that I know where to go with it once I actually start writing. It's going to be 12 chapters (I think, although it may end up being a few more, or a few less), and it doesn't really follow any of the books. It is a "Mia and Michael are not together yet" kind of story, but there really isn't the whole thing with Kenny or Michael's "Computer Club Confession," if you know what I'm talking about. It will, however, be much like the book in that most of the same characters will be in it, doing things they would typically do, and the plot will be very Princess Diaries-esque, meaning it will follow the same general principles, but not actually follow the storyline of the novels.
Here is the official disclaimer for my entire story (so I don't have to rewrite it in every chapter):
Meg Cabot's property: Michael, Mia, Lilly, Kenny, Mr. G, Mom (Helen Thermopolis), Dad (Phillipe), Lars, Grandmere, Pavlov, Drs. Moscovitz, Principal Gupta, Tina Hakim Baba, Judith, Kenny, Boris, Shameeka, Lana, and Fat Louie. (If I mention anyone else from any of the novels in passing, they also belong to Meg Cabot). She also owns Albert Einstein High School (unless it really does exist, and then that belongs to New York), The Loft, and Grandmere's suite at the Plaza Hotel.
My Creations: Jonas, Paul, Mark, Hannah, and Colin, as well as the plot of this story. If I add anything else, it will be noted at the beginning of the chapter in which the new element first appears.
