Up, Alive, and Feeling Spunky

[kalalanekent]

Okay, all of you. I took the advice to rest and have now clocked 18 hours of sleep! Which is just insane. XD I'm not sure when the last time was that I slept that much. Probably the last time I was sick. *snort* Thanks all of you for the kind wishes and for smacking me upside the head about my last 'writer' post. I love you all so very, very. *hugs her F-list*

And Abby? I'm only a couple of chapters into your little present and I love it. Good call! *hugs*

As to writing, we're almost finished with Day, only one more small scene to go. It's a bit longer than expected at 2,903 words and six pages, but that's fair minimal for us.  :D I need to get it off to Kat the Magnificent soon, hopefully with enough time for her to shake her magic Photoshop over it and produce another visual masterpiece. If not, it's my own fault for waiting so long to tell her about it. *hugs her Visual Assistant* And we'll be adding to Chapter 53 again starting the weekend. Currently looks like everything will be ready by press time next Saturday. Here's hoping that we don't drown you all in LS.

Thanks again, all of you, for your worry and kind words! Now it's back to work I go, if only for today!

So glad you're feeling better. Wow, I go away for 2 days this is what I come back to. Heat exhaustion, swollen gowls, migraines! Ladies, ladies, please let's take care of ourselves, and look out for each other. {hugs}

I know, right? It seems that not just one of us can get sick or anything. Oh, no, the family has to have it happen. *LOL* You know, so no one feels left out. ;)

Glad to hear you're feeling better!

18 hours of sleep is nothin' when you know you need it :)

[kalalanekent.livejournal.com]

Oh, trust me, I know. I've been sleeping like a log the last few days. I plan to sleep really late tomorrow, too. And thanks, honey. I'm nearly back to my normal self. *hugs*

[elliania.livejournal.com]

Oh! *hugs* I'm gald you feel better, dear! That post was full of good news but what was that icon, anyway! pfff ^^"

hopefully with enough time for her... - Well... when is your due date (I'm not in the next 12days challenge... I don't even know when it is. '~'

[kalalanekent.livejournal.com]

*LOL* Can't help it. H/Hr shipper, love, but I'll never rub everyone's nose in it. We like what we like. *hugs* Just not a Ginny girl, although I love the idea of her and Neville.

And the first of the two oneshots is in your mailbox, love. Go take a look. ;)

Hi there! The due date is in October. We are planning to publish the two current stories sometime this month, maybe next weekend. Then there will be two more stories, likely to be published sometime in September. But no rush on Day and Night just yet. We've only just started Night.

Ok, thank you, Nissa! I was really wondering if Lois was going to tell me the due date or not! XD I'm going to read Days like right now and I'll see what I can do for the banner!

*hugs*

[kalalanekent.livejournal.com]

*pouts* I said it was next Saturday, but Anissa changed the date on me. Sorry! Don't shoot! :)

[elliania.livejournal.com]

*giggles* aww, you're cute!! Ill make that banner this week... is it ok for you??

[kalalanekent.livejournal.com]

Is fine, Kitty-Kat. Go ahead and read and tell me if we need to go looking for pics. I'm home tonight.

[anissa7118.livejournal.com]

By the way, the official title is: Snapshot: In the Light of Day. :D The second one will be Snapshot: In the Dark of Night.

[elliania-test.livejournal.com]

I read the 'Days' one and I was wondering... What about just one banner for the two one-shot? A banner showing both side of their relationship? Or I can make two, as 'twins banner', looking a lot alike... *brainstorming*

[anissa7118.livejournal.com]

Sounds good to the coauthor and I. :D Lois will need you to show her how to do the link.

[bistyboo1974.livejournal.com]

Wow, where can I get 18 hours of sleep?! I'm jealous! Glad you've caught up on your rest, though! *HUGS*

[kalalanekent.livejournal.com]

Well, I can tell you it's been a very long time since the last time I had eight hours, so you can imagine how it messed me up. *LOL*

[sydgill.livejournal.com]

Awww...poor LOIS!!! I feel so bad that I missed out on cheering you up when you were feeling dawn, but I'm so glad you're better now!! Bad girl for working yourself so hard!!! You guys need to find a place you can go skinny dipping to keep cool during the summer *wink* Love you both!!! *hugs and smooches*

[sydgill.livejournal.com]

DOWN DOWN DOWN...not dawn *grumbles about too much Breaking Dawn talk*

[anissa7118.livejournal.com]

I was gonna ask "who the HELL is Dawn?!?!!?" but you fixed it. Darn. :D

[sydgill.livejournal.com]

HA HAH! And that makes me...semi-smart WOOT!

[kalalanekent.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. I push myself way too hard and make myself way too responsible for things. Alot more so than most of my peers.

Then again, I was given this weekend off, doubly so due to the heat exhaustion, only to be woken up by a request for me to come in today (on the only day that I requested as 'unavailable' the day I was hired) and my buttmonkey-in-law asking if I was going to go in tomorrow because I took two days off. *growlsigh*

*headdesk*

I just had to stop and say: I love that icon! lol! Who cares if I'm a fan of H/G? It's really funny.

[kalalanekent.livejournal.com]

See, this is why I love you, Sam. You get that there's no real malice in it. Not that the others don't, but that's the thing. I never really liked Ginny. Doesn't mean I hate her; she's just not my cup of tea. And being a Movieverse girl, I'm all about the Dan/Emma-Harry/Hermoine. Hey, if all other fandoms can have their 'unofficial' pairings, why can't HP? And I don't mind Rowling's official ships, but hey. I don't see it as anything to start a real fight over.

*shrugs*

[sasusc.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I wonder if the people making up the scripts for HP movies have actually read the books. I see a lot of Harry/Hermione hinting in the movies, especially in the last movie. There wasn't many, if any, Ron/Hermione shippiness nor any Harry/Ginny (because I'm almost sure Harry starts liking Ginny at the end of OotP--haven't read the book since it came out).

[kalalanekent.livejournal.com]

In a way, though, I think it's a bit of a good thing. No adaption from books is ever completely spot-on. I'm a little ashamed to admit it, but preferred the movie version of The Scarlet Letter and I'm a book snob. That and I wonder if the directors haven't preferred the H/Hr ship. Dunno. Maybe even WB does. *shrug*

Or maybe it's just that Daniel and Emma have more chemistry. I've never quite bought Rupert and Emma being a couple in the films. I like Ron well enough, but I just can't see he and Hermoine together.

Maybe we'll just have the movieverse whereas you guys are the Bookverse. And again, *shrug*

I just prefer the Ginny/Neville, Ron/Luna or Fleur (Bill in a Dragon accident), and Harry/Hermoine solution. ;)
