Quick update

[emmagrant01]

Believe it or not, I have yet to start reading HBP! So those of you who've left me LJ comments with spoilers in them: PLEASE DON'T.

The con was fabulous! As I write this, I'm in the airport in Las Vegas at 5:30 am, and I haven't slept -- I stayed up all night! My plan was to read on the plane home, but I'm starting to wonder if that will really happen. :-P I had so much fun hanging out with other fans, and I hope everyone who went had a safe trip home!

On an unrelated note, MDH sent me this:

Ewan McGregor in autograph ban

POLICE have banned Ewan McGregor from signing autographs for fans outside a London theatre. McGregor, 34, is currently performing to crowds in the musical Guys and Dolls at the Piccadilly Theatre in the West End, but police, fearful of a further terrorists attacks, have told bosses at the theatre that they should act to stop large crowds gathering outside the auditorium.

Now a ban has been imposed on McGregor and the rest of the cast signing autographs after the show. The move has left fans of the Creiff-born star, keen to meet their idol, disappointed. A spokesman for the Piccadilly confirmed that McGregor and other stars have been warned not to stop and talk to fans.

Whoa. So I guess I should count myself extra lucky then.

So he wasn't banned from meeting fans because he kept kissing them, huh?
sad now.

Ewan McGregor in autograph ban
That kinda sucks. I know it's sorta a perk for going to the show, but I bet there will be a lot of disappointed people.

i haven't read it it yet, either, and have been nervous about reading my journal.
i don't even -have- it yet.

ad good on you getting an autograph before weirdness happened!

[inyadreems.livejournal.com]

Phew! We got in there in time. I would have been very sorry not to have at least taken pictures after the show.

(Not jealous of your con-going. At all. Hmph.)

That goodness for small favors that we made it and got our autographs. If we had plans later this year and were twarted, I don't know how I would feel about it.

It makes me sad for his other fans.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

I know, me too! I was so glad to get a chance for a few seconds face-to-face with him.

And thanks for the book! I just realized I forgot to tell you I got it and read it. It was a great read! Though I have my doubts as to how much of that was actually written by Ewan...

[sabrinagb.livejournal.com]

The tone of what was written sounds what I would imagine he would speak like, but the actual writing was probably done by a ghostwriter. I am glad that you got the book. My Dad gave me copy for Christmas to encourage my adventurous spirit...but I am glad to have the program signed instead of the paperback.

What sucks even more is that I didn't realize Ewan was doing theatre when I was in London.

Woe is me.

I wanted to post my FIRST LJ comment ever (yes, you read that right. I created a LJ account just so I could leave comments about your stories) saying how much I L-O-V-E your novels Emma. I think they're absolutely fantastic. And I have to say that I enjoy them FAR more than the official canon. :)

With that said, once you finish HBP, you're going to scream. I won't say anything about what happens, but it just completely obliterates all post-hogwarts fandom imo. Say bye bye. :(

p.s.: You write the most stunning love/sex scenes. As a gay man (28 this saturday :D), you leave me rather floored with your detailed reality, ups and downs, good and bad. Bravo. :)

p.p.s.: Bow to teh Boyd Holbrooke. All bow!

Thanks so much for reading my fic!

but it just completely obliterates all post-hogwarts fandom imo.

0_o Why do you think that? My reaction was just the opposite! Besides, we can write whatever we like. Just because JKR took her story one direction doesn't mean we have to follow.

Well, in order to talk about why, I have to spoil. But I don't want to do that. Hmm... Is there a way to white out comments so you have to highlight the words in order to see them?

Re: newbie LMH and STG reader

[emma-recs.livejournal.com]

You could make your comment here instead.

[emmagrant01.livejournal.com]

Yes, so much fun to see you again! I hope y'all have a great time in LV this week. Tell Carla and your mom I said hello!
