Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

I have retold Lady Audley's Secret through social media--specifically Alicia Audley's Tumblr and Lucy Audley's Instagram. To experience the story, you can journey through the relevant posts on Alicia's blog, Lucy's relevant posts on Instagram, or both at once, as dictated by the paths below.
If you like, you can read the original text through Project Gutenberg, or simply read a tweet recap I did a while ago. However, prior knowledge of the original isn't necessary to enjoy this adaptation; part of the fun is in guessing what's really happening. I encourage you to explore both these social media accounts in their entirety; Alicia's theme, blog title, posts, and tags all say something about her, and Lucy's pictures, captions, emojis, and hashtags say just as much about her. What exactly they say is up to you to interpret.
