Haunted

SPOILER WARNING for anyone who hasn't read Mortal Coil. Look away now.

Just a quick note to say that the Halloween story will be appearing as soon as I've finished it. HOPEFULLY that will be tonight, but it might be tomorrow, and appear on Halloween itself. I have to say, it feels good to be writing about Tanith once again, even if she IS ever so slightly evil...

SPOILER OVER

And speaking of Halloween, look at the desktop thingy you can download. Yay desktop thingies!





In keeping with the general creepiness of the season, may I also direct your attention to Haunted, a compilation of ghost stories by various writers, of which I am one. It's out now, and as part of the promotion, the writers are appearing as guests on various blogs around blogland. I had the good fortune of writing a piece for the Bookwitch, which can be found here:

Zathract Mist said...

Whenever youre in the library, look for books that are sticking out a bit.

Eve the ROCK said...

I found three books in the library!

Eve the ROCK said...

Terrible, was it? I'd like to see YOU come up with a better chant!

Gabriel said...

Okay. Accepted.

I'm in Ravenclaw. I'm in Ravenclaw.

I've got a jar of derp.
I've got a jar of derp.
I've got a jar of derp.
I've got a jar of derp.

And It's missile guided.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi lav!

Gabriel said...

I'm in Ravenclaw and I am an individual!!!!

Gabriel said...

Hi Lavender.

What house are you in? And what's your username?

Lavender Hope said...

Good for you, Gab. :)

Ya know? I probably could have been in Hufflepuff if I chose the answers differently.

I WAS having different thoughts during the sorting.

Nixion Strange said...

Lavender Hope said...

Gryffindor and SpellDust31518.

Lavender Hope said...

Hiya Nix! :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Too bad you didn't go in Hufflepuff, Lav. You couldve joined me on my relentless chanting campaign!

Lavender Hope said...

Good chant too, Eve. :)

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Nix!

Gabriel said...

Sent you a request,Lav.

Zathract Mist said...

Zathract Mist said...

It's the best!

Lavender Hope said...

Nixion Strange said...

:(

Eve the ROCK said...

*points to Lav and looks at Mist* See? LAV knows a good chant when she sees one! I am appalled, Mist. APPALLED.

Lavender Hope said...

Sure Mist. But I'm betting you'll win.

Nixion Strange said...

"Fear of spiders is aracnaphobia, fear of tight spaces is chlaustraphobia, fear of Chuck Norris is called Logic"

Eve the ROCK said...

LOL, Nix.

Zathract Mist said...

*rolls eyes*

Not with the Chuck Norris jokes, please...
I get far too much of that at school.

*is really meaning this*

Nixion Strange said...

Zathract Mist said...

Gah. You won by one point, Eve.

Zathract Mist said...

I used the tickle curse on you. Ha.

Gabriel said...

Guys, watch this I made it!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7Gf2SOmz5Q&ob=av2e


Jokes..

Eve the ROCK said...

That's what you get for insulting my chants! *strokes wombat*

Eve the ROCK said...

Tickle curse? *laughs*

Gabriel said...

HeY, HOW DO YOU MAKE POTIONS!!!!????

Zathract Mist said...

I won. Ha.

*laughs and hugs her*

Eve the ROCK said...

Follow the instructions. I know, it's hard, I'm a complete failure.

Eve the ROCK said...

*grins and hugs back* Not bad for a Slytherin. ;)

Lavender Hope said...

Back and saw both Eve's and Mist's challenges on Pottermore.

Will get to those soon.

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi lav

Zathract Mist said...

Bleh.

*kisses her*

My potion is brewing. Yay!

Lavender Hope said...

Hi. :)

Is anything happening to you guys where after you publish a comment, it's going back a page?

It's happening to me and that's annoying.

Zathract Mist said...

40%...

Zathract Mist said...

Yeah, it's doing that to me too, Hope.

Lavender Hope said...

Okay. Glad I'm not the only one.

Getting to those duels now. Distant.

Gabriel said...

...

Brewing a practise potion!

Yay.

Eve the ROCK said...

*kisses him back* I've given up on potions. I wish there was something on care of magical creatures...

Lav, it's doing it to me too. :/

Lavender Hope said...

Lost in both.

Good job guys. :)

Lavender Hope said...

I think care of magical creatures will be in the third book at the latest. Maybe the second.

Eve the ROCK said...

NimbusMarauder, Hufflepuff's top achiever, lives in France!

Awesome.

Zathract Mist said...

Ha. I love Potions. Duel time.

Zathract Mist said...

Hmm...

Zathract Mist said...

Boom!

Zathract Mist said...

SLYTHERIN FOR THE WIN!!!

Gabriel said...

You challenged me, Eve?

How do you duel?

Eve the ROCK said...

You're going to dedicate to Slytherin, aren't you? *preyends to be exasperated*

Eve the ROCK said...

Press DUEL

Eve the ROCK said...

*pretends

Zathract Mist said...

Of course not!

Gabriel said...

DAMN IT.

I KEEP PRESSING BACK!!! NOW I HAVE TO DO THE POTION AGAIN!!

Nixion Strange said...

Eve the ROCK said...

*grins*

Gabriel said...

How do you cast spells?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Eve the ROCK said...

Hi Nix

Zathract Mist said...

Gah. Eve, you won AGAIN. *tackle her*

Lavender Hope said...

WB Nix!

Sorry, this thing is going weird on me. Will be slow commenter till I can get this fixed.

Eve the ROCK said...

*laughs and gets tackled* I gave grown to be a formidable witch. Fear me!

Gabriel said...

WTF!? HOW DO YOU CATS SPELLS???

Lavender Hope said...

*tries something*
Ha! It worked!

...

But maybe only for now...

Gabriel said...

CAST***

Eve the ROCK said...

How many house points do you guys have?

Nixion Strange said...

how come every time i comment it goes to this random page (two back)?

Zathract Mist said...

141

Lavender Hope said...

Click the letter. Wait till it glows to the fullest. Click it again and before it reaches the next letter, click that letter.

It'll make sense if you do it right.

Eve the ROCK said...

You press the keys when the line of magic passes it, then you press it again. Follow the instructions!

Zathract Mist said...

Its happening to everyone, Nix, we don't know.

Lavender Hope said...

No idea Eve.

Doing the same to me too, Nix.

Eve the ROCK said...

Damn, I need to catch up. I only have 134

Nixion Strange said...

i got little, im going throught the story, bit beothering to do stuff for house points

Lavender Hope said...

Will be distant. As in, not reading comments.

Zathract Mist said...

Hi/bye, Ink.

Zathract Mist said...

Lavender Hope said...

*has given up looking*
*refreshes page*

Star?

Gabriel said...

Wait. If you cast spells,

Like Incedio or something.

Do you click the letter I then press the letter I then click the letter N then press the letter N and so on>?

Eve the ROCK said...

Grrr! I only have 144!

Nixion Strange said...

the way i do it is
Click on the first letter there ( for incedio it's i) and then when it gets close to the next letter i press it and keep going like that until i'm at the last letter, then the spell is complete
I dunno if that's right, but that's the way i do it

Eve the ROCK said...

Guess so, gab

I'm preying on Griffindors. Mwahahahaha.

Nixion Strange said...

Gryffindors are wannabe Slytherins

Eve the ROCK said...

Huh? No, it's not anything to do with SP.

Welcome my son.
Welcome, to the machine!

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Izz

Zathract Mist said...

I'm here actually. Hoping that my grandmother forgets about karate. I can dream. Hi Izz.

Star Inkbright said...

Don't ask, gab. Long story. After today, i'll either know for certain or not have one.

Star Inkbright said...

Hi izz, zath.

Izz said...

Is there something wrong with the main post page? Or is it just my computer?

Zathract Mist said...

No, it's sending us back 2 pages every time we comment. You aren't alone.

Nixion Strange said...

do you go back two pages every time you comment? Because that's everyone

Nixion Strange said...

Hi Lynxia

Zathract Mist said...

Hello Lynxxia

Nixion Strange said...

Damn school. Wish you didn't have to go...

Lavender Hope said...

Hi Izz. Hi Shads.

I'm distant.

Lynxia Lost said...

I still have to wait until I can go on Pottermore. Next month is when I can go on.

Nixion Strange said...

Next month? Wow, that's a while...

Lynxia Lost said...

I wish I didn't have to go too. I've got a music test first and then English essay planning and then German then chemistry test. Then double RE!

Lavender Hope said...

I hope no one takes offense at this, but I feel like it's gotten boring already...

I'm going to stop playing for a bit...

*is now working on story writing*
