because I didn't get to do this in the book

The Book of Harry Potter Trifles, Trivias and Particularities, vol. 1

For Amanda, Kali and Patty
and all my friends in fandom
who have made the stories real.

And for the three abandoned boys of Hogwarts
who made this particular story matter so much to me.

And seriously, with a big thank you to all of you guys who had to listen to me whine through the hellacious process of writing it. Also Patty gets an extra special thank you because she had to live with me while I was working on this thing, which would have been unpleasant for anyone, but she was heroic, especially in light of the fact she's not even in this particular fandom. That said, I'm pretty sure she never wants to hear another word about the Goblin Rebellion of 1612.

Meanwhile, while today is the official release date, I'm not sure if the books are actually here yet ;)

Yay! Congrats. You are still my favorite imaginary friend/fictional character!

Aw.

Yay! Doesn't it give you the most amazing feeling? Just imagine how you'll feel when your original novel gets published. :c)

That's very nice and all but WTF is up with them not letting you put in a meaningful dedication?

Honestly, it was that it felt like a lot of weightyness for a quizbook -- even and especially to me. I migth make noise for it in the last one.

Congrats!

Since I am a relative noob on your journal -- please help me out with the pronunciation of your name? I would rather not make a fool of myself saying it aloud.

Hahaha, I think you just missed my tirade about that.

It's Ra-shell-lean.

And thank you!

I saw the comment "my name isn't Rachel" and so I thought, oho! This must be pronounced with a soft ch, but I'll ask and make sure.

Hahah yeah. Honestly though, people mispronouncing don't make me crazy. People randomly lopping syllables off of it makes me crazy.

I don't think you whined that much... unless you have a special whining filter I'm not on. :)

[rm.livejournal.com]

Hahahah no. But I sort of remember a lot of short posts that were the equivalent of "Shit, fuck! damn.... goblin rebellion. I hate this."
