TheStory Once upon a time, there lived two bored girls in Eastern/North-Eastern Singapore, dying for a change from the monotonous lifestyle of office-job internship. They thought. They dreamt. They broke rules and sacrificed beauty sleep, and ever since, The Splintered Chapters (founded April 2008, launched 13 June '08) has taught them that life needn't be all the six months worth of torturous, painful (boring) workload that they had to go through. ...For six months. That's half a year. That's, like, a lifetime. So please. Have pity.
Co-founders Ms Angsty Bulletins and My Pseudonym Dilemma conversed (or rather, lamented and wallowed in self-pity) instant message after instant message, and then roped in their awesome friends for a little cyber adventure. Occassionally looking over their shoulders for stealthy colleagues and directors.
In the words of Barney Stinson of How I Met Your Mother (a show that is so incredibly "awesome!" - oh gawd, everyone should watch it), "This is LEGENDARY!" And maybe it will be. ...But maybe it won't. That all depends on you, our dear readers. Like most new music bands nowadays, The Splintered Chapters has sourced out for readership through Myspace. And of course, the occasional forum-spam. Of sorts. This may just seem like another jumble of thoughts with a web-space, but The Splintered Chapters have an ulterior motive: and that is to kill boredom, the old way. Grab it by its uncolored, limp hair and noose it. Snap. TSC is here for the ones looking for something to do. It's here for people looking for distraction or escape from the shitty subsets of life. Because in TSC, it is believed that Life does not suck - the subsets of it do (deep, yes, they know). But everyone can change that, because hey, it's your life: you should be doing what you want instead of letting things out of your personal bubble make it a horrible experience for you. Live and let live. Because - wait for it, here's a cliche - life really is beautiful. Neither are they saying quit your job because they don't want any unemployed persons straying into their grounds (they don't have any) and burning their flags (they don't have any). This e-zine has been and will continue to be a platform for them and a way to reach out to people who might need...reachingoutness. This can also be your own space - there's so many things you can do with this portal. - This site is run by us - and you won't ever know our names. Unless you know us. Which would therefore suck, and ruin all opportunities of...a lot of things. Because, and I quote Frank Iero, "If my secret identity was revealed, the world will go to shit." For all you people bored with the superficial life that is The World, this one's for you.

TheEnigmaticWriters Be one of our guest columnists - just email what you'd like to be posted up and we'll have you and your zany personality featured! Non-commital - we won't hound you for reviews, promise. Chapter #2: The Fest Issue King's Cross - In a few words - 20 year old naked moshpit lady, lookin' for a more liberating circle pit experience. We kid. Private joke. She's not naked. Well, not all the time. She is, however, an awesome writer (as testified by many) and to keep her secret identity, we will stick to saying that you can find her straying the boards of ImNotOkay.net - if you are lucky enough. Chapter #3: The Desert Issue RanPer -  She's also known as our mysterious PR lady, the face behind our Facebook profile. (Ha...ha). The genius of our marketing strategies. The Lostprophets fan-iac. The one who thinks her hair looks like Ian Watkins' current 'do. The random one. Wokay. And she has stretched out her specialty from stealthy marketing to reporting. Read her articles...somewhere. They're around. Being mysterious. Chapter #4: The Almost There Issue Charlemaine - Charlemaine, unwittingly named after Charles the Magnificent, is a closet narcissist and obsessivist who really enjoys talking about herself in the third person. An incurable intellectual, she is often accused of being intense and generally caring too much about things that shouldn't matter, while also completely deserting things that should matter (such as her horridly untidy wardrobe).Although a very nice person on most days, she has a big temper that you don't. ever. want. to. see. Unless you are already wearing suitable protective gear.
Charlemaine is a Scorpio. For some reason men find this incredibly sexy. Especially when combined with a fantastic headshot that has been photomanipulated beyond recognition. She triesto avoid meeting attractive males she has only known online -- mainly because it's not very safe, but also because she couldn't bear to disappoint them. | GhostWriters

Also known as PseuDil. Don't ask. In reality, she does not have music notes coming out of her head (yes those are music notes), but figuratively, that would be the best visual metaphor that she can think of. She breathes music - but she's not the only one, everyone else here breathes music too: they're all awesome and inhuman like that. She's always had trouble describing herself because all descriptive words escape her at the time that she requires them. But she has the basics in tact: She would say that she's loyal..ish. She's also sarcastic, hopefully funny. She thinks a lot – sometimes too much. She's also really quiet in situations that are uncomfortable to her (which is a whole long list of situations). If not for the fact that she can talk, she's practically mute. She loves writing. And she loves having a space and a platform to share her views, or rants, or to have something to work on. She would love nothing more than to hear someone say that what she does, whatever it is, affected their lives in some way or another! End political correctness. But, no, really, apart from music, writing is that Thing She Does. Ya know? She also has a thing for Things. This thing just made her sound really boring. Damn.

Ms Angsty Bulletins (also Ms. AB) got her name from friends who commented that her Myspace bulletins were all angsty. Not that she was an angtsy person by nature - she is pretty happy and optimistic - just that she has too much pent up anger which she vents on Myspace. She knows she should focus on happier stuff but there are too many annoying twits in the world making her life miserable. Besides posting angsty bulletins on Myspace, she has an obsession with jewelry-making and beads. She has cultivated some self-control recently after blowing her money on one too many beads. She also loves watching tween shows and brainless movies. Life has too much drama and she needs to be spared.
She loves to muse and have philosophical moments. But mostly she is a giggly, lame person when she is not ranting or wishing someone death. Oh, and trying to behave more saintly.   Columnist | Reporter | Core staff Pretty. Odd. always had trouble writing about herself. No, not that she's uninteresting (as if!), it's just that she thinks its hard to sum herself up using words. If you ask her, she'd probably say that she's infinite - but then, that would beat the point of having to write about herself.
She's a real organised (hot!) mess, cannot work within confined spaces, hates office jobs : think administrative stuff, often holds the idea that people understand what she's saying, prone to spontaneous outbursts, much to her friends' dismays, loves to channel her moolah into tangible objects but don't call her materialistic for she will hunt you down and crucify you with her 4 inch stilettos that she hardly ever wears.
But, back to the point. She's an aspiring writer but secretly she hopes to be a "rock-star wife". She will be perfectly happy to stay home and whip up delicious meals, take an afternoon nap or drive down in her swanky wheels to the local mall for her fix of Starbucks. Yeah right...
Enjoys head-banging to post-hardcore music, likes to read, spends her working hours drooling at fashion runway pictures and hot guys, is a gossip junkie and last but not least, wishing for half her life that she wasn't born and bred here. Alas, reality is always oh-so-dreadful. So to spice things up, she and the rest of the "all star cast" decided to dedicate their lives to write for The Splintered Chapters. She considers this her worthy contribution to mankind. Oh, by the way, she says to dispense with the excessive amount of gratitude. *pageant hand waves*

While everyone else probably took only an hour or two to come up with their individual profiles, Kill Jill has officially taken five. Days. She was dealing with matters of consequence. (Only not really, she just couldn’t seem to find the right words to describe her awesome-ness) Right, so, we’ve already established that Kill Jill’s awesome. (Or so she likes to think) She also thinks that she’s cooler than everyone and their imaginary friends just because her hair is dyed red. Well, half of it is anyway. But, really, she’s just another one of those Fayleys. Except she won’t admit it because she’s too cool for the world, remember? You probably think she’s obnoxious but she’s far from that. Honest. She likes pretty things like ponies, brightly coloured stockings, red hair, tattoos, Alex Evans, black roses, snakebites, piercings in general, the colour of blood-red, Hayley Williams, rainy days, scene boys, and apple products (total mac evangelist, this one). Now, would you still call her obnoxious? (Uh, don’t answer that) Like her fellow comrades, she is in love with music. Her recent music taste is drifted more towards the alternative and indie-ish, but pop-punk will always be her much loved. She obsesses over a lot. From bands, to boys, to her hair. Right now, though, all she wants in life is to be finally able to say (and she quotes) “And in that moment, I swear we were infinite”. For that one song. On that one drive. Oh yes, she had an epiphany the other day. Tom DeLonge is a lyrical genius.  
Seasonal columnist | Reporter | Core staff Sad Weather Novella (aka Sadyn) got the inspiration for her name from global warming and hxc poets. An obsessive cynic, she tends to have a slightly more gloomy outlook on life. But being the walking contradiction she is, she likes to crack lame jokes to make people happy.
Example! "A man walks into a bar and says....OUCH." She hopes that made you smile. Or laugh, or best of all, facepalm. Sadyn is a boring student in a boring school in a horrible course, but other aspects of her life are going pretty good, and for that she is eternally grateful. Sadyn loves to write, sing, suck at the guitar, hang out with friends and pretend to be normal. The interwebz is slowly taking over her life, and she's perfectly happy with that, for she has no social life irl. All she does is study, because her school is boring, as is she. Sadyn is losing her sanity and rationale, please bear with her! It is her hope that through this e-webz, she can do something productive with her voice and her friends. Not on a large enough scale to save the cheerleader and save the world but on enough to bring some joy to your day. Sadyn is the defender of hyperness, she wants your day to be boring free, she copes with enough of those days as it is!
A fish swam into a wall and said DAM!
