queensthiefI returned home this afternoon, with another headache, and sat down at my computer hoping to have a few story alerts and some interesting comments. Maybe even a review or two. What I found waiting for me was this. I blinked a few times, pinched myself a few more times, and then sat in silence for a few minutes, before beginning to type furiously whilst laughing in a slightly hysterical manner (or so my brother tells me). I'll let it speak for itself:
Hello Rowena,
Please don't post my e-mail address. I am just writing to let you know
that I did stop in to the livejournal Sounis.
I've read everything with great delight. I don't know why you want to
ask *me* any questions, you all
seem to answer each others' so well, but in a short time, you should be
able to write to me at something like
megan.whalen.turner@harpercollins.com. I'll post the address on my
website when it comes through.
The e-mail won't come directly to me. It will be forwarded in batches
from time to time. I'll try to answer.
I won't post anything on the web. Because if I ever do, that airy
whistling noise you hear from
Ohio will be the gassification of my future career. It's bad enough
that I spend too much time reading
things on the web. If I started writing things there, I would never
write anything anywhere else again.
The stimulation of the web would be so much more fun than staring at an
empty screen. If you think
that you can entice me in by posting leading questions, you probably
could . . . but then, no more books.
Please say hello to fabricalchemist. I remember her letters well. You
will have to continue to ruminate
on Gen's underwear. I've only gotten as far as describing his
nightshirt.
best,
Megan
I thought you guys would enjoy reading this, and that![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fabricalchemist would like to get the hello directly. :D

Does that even make sense? I'm not sure I'm coherent.
How wonderful to know that Megan is so responsive. I can't wait to send her a letter from the group with our questions and see what she has to say!
no subject
Date: 1/28/06 12:33 pm (UTC)I'll stick the questions thread up soon, so that you guys can start adding stuff.

Date: 1/29/06 10:35 pm (UTC)I thanked her for taking the trouble to write, and for reading. I said something about the questions, which I vaguely remember. This is where I suspect I began to babble. Then I said something about how we wouldn't want her to do anything which could possibly end in the gassification of her career, um I think I mentioned that I'd post the letter here, so you guys could see it. And I have a horrible feeling I said something stupid about Gen's underwear. Again. :D
Oh well. I'm sure the chance to write a thank you letter to one of the people whose writing I most admire will roll around again. In about fifty years or so. I'll remember to think it out instead of typing the first thing that comes to mind next time.

Date: 1/30/06 08:25 pm (UTC)As you can see, I've given the matter serious thought, and come to the conclusion that the answer may forever remain locked away somewhere at the back of MWT's mind.
:D I should, perhaps, find something else to do with my time than contemplate underwear.

*sends hugs* Nice to see you again though.
