For those of you who

September 30th, 2002 · No Comments

For those of you who don’t get over to ff.net very often, I’ll post the 3 reviews I’ve gotten there so far here. I want to share my joy. I am in utter love with this. Sorry, just thought it was v. vital to my existence that i tell you the extent of my admiration […]

My author page at SQ.

September 29th, 2002 · No Comments

My author page at SQ. And my story at fanfiction.net. It’ll be on FA soon, I hope. I’ll submit it soon. Let’s hope somebody reads it. Now, who’s going to start the write-in campaign to get me and Elizabeth on the Bookshelf?

I FINALLY heard from Carleton97

September 27th, 2002 · No Comments

I FINALLY heard from Carleton97 today. What she said was so cool that I don’t even mind not hearing before now: The only thing I noted was a strange line break when Ginny is comforting Harry in the hallway. Other than that it was just fine; I’m going to be recommending you for your NEWT’s […]

I saw him again today.

September 25th, 2002 · 1 Comment

I saw him again today. It’s infuriating, really. Do you want to know why I can climb so easily into Ginny’s head? I’ve been head-over-heels in love with a boy for the past FIVE YEARS. Pathetic, isn’t it? Even more so, because I know I haven’t got a chance. Know for absolute certain. Because I […]

I am so upset. In

September 25th, 2002 · No Comments

I am so upset. In the English major, you have to take a major author in the 300-level. They always offer Shakespeare, Milton, and Chaucer, and they have a revolving class that studies different authors every year. I don’t really like Shakespeare, Milton, or Chaucer all that much, but Shakespeare is more interesting to me […]

I’m getting slightly irritated. No

September 24th, 2002 · No Comments

I’m getting slightly irritated. No word yet from Carleton97. I don’t know if she’s even looked at my story, let alone how long it will take for her to beta it so it can be posted. I mean, come on, how hard is it to drop me a short e-mail? The thing is, I really […]

I’m in. :) I don’t

September 22nd, 2002 · No Comments

I’m in. I don’t know how soon it will be posted, as I haven’t officially heard from my beta-reader (Carleton97) yet. But I am a Sugar Quill author! Oh, and I just can’t help but pass on this little tidbit, as I practically hyperventilated when I read it. The relevant quote? The latest Harry Potter […]

Ohmigosh, oh my gosh, OH

September 19th, 2002 · No Comments

Ohmigosh, oh my gosh, OH MY GOSH!!! I am SOOO excited. No, I didn’t get into SQ (at least not that I know of, yet– I’ll keep you posted). No, it’s this wonderful, beautiful interview with J.K. Rowling in which we get snippets such as this: There’s a lot of book done – that’s all […]

I’m just trying to convince

September 18th, 2002 · No Comments

I’m just trying to convince myself that not hearing from Sugar Quill yet is a good thing. I know that’s what everyone keeps telling me, but I can’t help but feel nervous. I just want to know, one way or the other. Every time I think “I got in, no problem,” I say, “but what […]

So, haven’t heard from SQ

September 16th, 2002 · No Comments

So, haven’t heard from SQ yet. Here’s what it said on the “Ask Madam Pince” page: September 14, 2002. We received stories form 87 new authors! Is this an omen? Unfortunately, the Sugar Quill beta-reading team is ill-equipped to actually handle 87 submissions in one month. We’ve added three new beta-readers (welcome Juliane, Arianrhod, and […]
