Did you know "Veronica Mars" creator Rob Thomas had a different idea for the character when he initially pitched the story as a novel in 1996? We didn’t, and Kristen Bell certainly didn’t either until she read Thomas’ initial book proposal — which fans can watch her do right now.

In the video above, Bell gives us a dramatic and commentary-filled reading of the recently unearthed YA-novel pitch for Untitled Teen Detective. The proposal features several significant changes from the beloved three season-long TV series; from the book’s Austin, Texas, setting to the fact that Veronica was actually a guy named Keith who had some evil tendencies.



“This sounds like a different show,” remarks Bell as she reads the treatment, the full version of which can be found here: http://veronicamarsbook.ew.com/

She ends her reading with some advice for Thomas: “Wow, Rob, that is a lot of flowery language. Not that we need to dull it down, but maybe tone it down a bit. You’re coming on a little strong,” says Bell.
