Newby Question

[philippas.livejournal.com]

So, I'm sure everybody knows this but me, but I've heard MWT actually comments here once in a while. What screen name does she use when she does? I want to be sure to recognize it, so I can be appropriately awestruck if I ever stumble across one of her posts :D

Comments

[dark_fishie]

She doesn't have an lj account. Her posts are usually Anonymous but she tags the end of her messages with

-MWT.

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

'cept not capitalised.

Guess I didn't lurk here long enough ;)

[(Anonymous)]

That's how we root out all the impersonators.

-MWT

[philippas.livejournal.com]

Wait - so that last message was posted by someone impersonating MWT because they signed in all caps, right? Was this like, a test, to see if I was observant enough to qualify as a member of Sounis? Nobody told me I was going to have to take a test! Or was it actually mwt making a joke? Aaaah!

Now I'm all traumatized. I might have to go and write dreadful emo poetry to recover.

P.S. Does it mean I've been a student for waaaaaay too long if every time I see MWT I think Monday-Wednesday-Thursday class?

[dark_fishie]

OH GAWD DO NOT WANT RIGHT NOW

I want to enjoy my summer, dammit!

(not your fault, philippas)

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

*snort*

Whoops, missed your comment. That was me. I apologize.

[philippas.livejournal.com]

I KNEW IT! I KNEW SOMEBODY WAS BEING SNEAKY!

I'm soooo observant. Lord Peter would be proud of me. *happiness*

THIS IS LORD PETER

[(Anonymous)]

*uses deep voice*

I'm very proud of you, Philippas. You are the most observant person I know.





(I'm sorry, I couldn't resist. So there is not confusion, this is really TLE)

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

Is that you Mrs. Turner, or is it an impostor?

I have to know.

I haven't said anything about dragons, and I have never called you a strange lady. Don't I deserve a reward? I do, don't I. Yes, I know I do.

*is trying to convince herself.

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Hey! I resemble that remark! :)

AND jade_sabre called her old.

Or was it actually mwt making a joke?

Probably.

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

Meh, it wasn't, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

Aaahhhhhhh, sorry so much, guys, I meant that as a joke and then I missed all the comments off it. That was me.

(I will now hide in a corner)

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

IT WAS YOU!?!?!

We were totally freaking out that it was Mrs. Turner testing us. When no revealed themselves as the imposter, I assumed it was her. Do you even know how many sleepless nights I went through while recover from the trauma of the alleged Mrs. Turner test. You'd better hide.

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

*hides*

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, you rogue! It makes it even funnier that you 'fessed up to it. Nice.

[thelasteddis.livejournal.com]

:-p

but she did read it and take it to heart -

[inkasrain.livejournal.com]

Yeah, much awestruckness is had by all :-) And then things tend to get just a drizzle loony... but it's worth it!

[philippas.livejournal.com]

Good to know. Thanks guys!

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

Loony...

You mean like in here...

Err... Not quite.

Don't forget the whacking...

[openedlocket.livejournal.com]

"Now* I understand about Attolia's first husband! She wasn't trying to kill him, it was just a gentle, wifely, ladylike lesson in manners ("We do not drink out of other people's cups, dear"), gone terribly, tragically agley!"

I apologize for the long quote but I must say, this was hilarious. Now I will never take table manner hints for granted. Wouldn't it be fun to write something about that...gosh I am itching to do it but I'm buried waist deep in work. I seem to want to write a fanfic on everything. I'm not sure if this is the place to do it but can I make a writing request concerning this to anyone who can do it?

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

Don't ask me, dear. I too am buried in work; but... if you want to wait a bit, perhaps we could work on something together. Now, that we finally fixed that docx on fanfiction.net. Do a little plot detail exchange in PMs.

Yes, perhaps Irene was just teaching him to not drink out of other people's cups. A fatal lesson in manners. Hey... that could be the title.

[openedlocket.livejournal.com]

Ooh great idea, I'll get on that as soon as I can. That would be fun *looks mischeivous* it could be like a bedtime story Irene is telling Gen. Wait...why am I comtemplating this when I can't even write the ninja fic yet?

[crazededdisian.livejournal.com]

yeah, bedtime story! good idea!

[crazededdisian.livejournal.com]

*has urge to say something*
"You stole my stupid expression!"
"It looked horrible on you."
*sorry*

Re: comment

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

Steal? Expression? What expression? All my expressions are very original, thank you.

*shrugs while thinking, 'maybe she's just crazed'*

Re: comment

[crazededdisian.livejournal.com]

If you meant me, you're right. I am crazed. (Thus the name) But somewhere in the previous link, there was a brief discussion of the "Eugenides saves Teleus, Aris, and Aris' um, uh, company?(sorry, I forgot the correct description.) Anyway, Mrs. Turner says that Attolia wipes the stupid expression of Eugenides' face. (she did!)

[katewaits.livejournal.com]

Thanks for posting all these. That's a fun read. :)

[dark_fishie]

I think there were more but...

We really a mwt tag for this comm =P

[checkers65477.livejournal.com]

There is one. :)

[philippas.livejournal.com]

Hey 9days! Since you seemed to know where to hunt down these threads, I was wondering if you knew whether there was ever a post about MWT's walnut pesto recipe from Write out of the Oven? I wanted to try it out, but I've never made a pesto before, I was hoping for some tips from other people's experiences.

Thanks.

PS I read Nine Days a Queen yesterday, and really enjoyed it, although the closing sentence threw me a bit. I can't decide if it's chilling or cheesy.

: )

eta - I don't think there was ever mention of this in sounis before

Re: walnut pesto

[philippas.livejournal.com]

Thanks Peggy! I'd actually already found the recipe (I HEART Googlebooks!), but I was wondering if the subject had already been thrashed out here in Sounis. Since not, I suppose I shall have to post about it after I've made it (planning on trying it out this weekend).

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

I don't know anything about walnuts. So, I'm glad Pegi found it for you. Mrs. Tuner cooks? She can do anything, can't she.

The links that I posted I knew about, because I read them after I joined or while I lurked for a record six months (is shy).

For some reason, I just remeber what things are tagged with.

The book is excellent, but the ending was a bit strange. Although, I don't see how else one might end it, since the book was written in first-person.

My user-name is not so much biased off the novel as the queen. Ninedaysqueen or theninedayqueen was taken. Lady Jane Grey is just one of my (many) historical obsessions.

BTW Philippa, you can call me Lady Jane. Everyone else does; and have you considered joining History_Haven, yet?

[philippas.livejournal.com]

Lady Jane: Thanks for your response! Good point about first person POV - sort of hard to narrate the execution.

I did look at History Haven, but to be honest, you guys are over my head. I know a little bit about a lot of things, but not a whole lot about anything. I like history as it relates to literature, but to be honest, I don't enjoy talking about pure history nearly as much as I enjoy talking about fiction. I may, however, pop over on occasion with a question :)

Cheers!
Pippa

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

Pippa, is your user name a nod to the Lymond Chronicles?

[philippas.livejournal.com]

Why yes, yes it is.

I presume that you are a fellow Dunnett fan?

LC

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

why yes, yes I am.

*blames megan*

They're going to start a new read through of the LC on yahoo GameOfKings this summer. That should be fun.

Re: LC

[philippas.livejournal.com]

Cool! I keep thinking about rereading LC, but the very thought daunts me. The first time I read it was my freshman year of college when I had no friends and a bunch of too-easy classes.

[ninedaysaqueen.livejournal.com]

"I know a little bit about a lot of things, but not a whole lot about anything."

You sound like Tiegirl and Styrom. I thought they were lying, too.

"I may, however, pop over on occasion with a question."

See you around.

[peggy-2.livejournal.com]

Mrs. Tuner cooks? She can do anything, can't she.

yeah, pretty much.

: )

[openedlocket.livejournal.com]

If you want to see some of the past messages there is a tag called 'mwt comments' which will show you all the posts with her comments, but you probably already know this. So if you just want to read how kind and attentive she is to her fans you can just look these posts over. Or you can always send her fanmail...

I did it twice. Once I asked her if there would be a fourth book and then I asked her how much the time gap is between the next book and KoA. She replied to me both times but she wouldn't tell me how long the time gap was. *is sad* oh well we can't get everything.

Don't mind my rant, I just like doing that.
