A Shot of Ginn discussion

This thread comes straight from Hells Below!

Nice to have a place for gushing about Belimai and William!

BTW much gushing went on here in October 2011:

That's my humble attempt to say something about this book click here, my review

What can I say?
It's perfect and I lost count of how many times I read it. But I never got tired of read and reread it. And I never will.

Love those illustrations you chose!

:-)
Well Nicole I read books picturing the characters. Everytime i read i'm also seeing all, each detail of them. For me Belimai was like that illustrations.
I know it's not ethical talk about a writer, in a review about another :-p but I hope Ginny Hale would not be offended by my mention of The Sandman by Neil Gaiman.
I remember him saying he imagine his Sandman as the singer of The Cure. I would love to know who Ginny Hale imagine, when she describe Belimai.
:-) but I don't dare to ask :-p

I loved these books and look forward to her future musings about them. Although I'm sure they would both detest it, I just wanna hug them both! :-)

So true -.-"
Belimai is sooooooo cute, I want to hug him too, saying he can be happy... He deserve to be happy :-(

I love his unhumanity. The best part of him are his eyes
I LOVE IT!
and his most fascinating power IMO is flying. I wasn't expecting it!

I'm glad someone else thought Belimai is cute. I thought I was the only one. LOL.

Of course I thought he is cute!
I read wanting all the time to huge him never letting him go!

His sadness broken my heart, and what happen in the second part of book gave me hope. Maybe he WILL be happy now :-)

Astrid is a great writer but she... Well, honey, she don't draw good.

:-)
Got it also as paperback :-)
Can't wait it's arrive! I love ebooks, how easy are to read, with my iPad, but sometimes a book is so special I want also the paperback... So, yes, got it now paperback... And can't wait to reread it :-) now not a virtual, but a real book on my hands :-)

I'm very fond of the print version of that book...I'm not sure why exactly, except that it was my first book and it felt so unreal to hold it and think that I'd actually written it.

Probably it's a weird thing to say but it seems more real to me now
:-)
I love books, not wrong with them, but paperback give me a "real" book sensation no ebooks can give me.
That's why I want it also as paperback.

You must be very proud of it Ginn. It's perfect... Everything is... Perfect.
Looking forward for a next statement, if that's in your plans :-)

Another book is in the future but it's a distant future, though I have already begun writing on it.

In the meantime I've found out there is slash crossover Harry Potter/Wicked Gentlemen.

But I think I'll wait for the real thing ;-).

I haven't read it but I think the author wrote to me and asked if she could use my world for her story. If it's the same person, she was quite sweet.

And I was really curious about what she did but legally I have to stay away from any fan fiction.

Still, I do worry for the safety of those nice Hogwarts children while they're slumming with likes of Bastard Jack and The Butcher Street Crone. ;D

That the author asked is good.

??"

Apparently, an author can be sued by a fan fiction writer who feels the original author has plagiarized scenes, events, or plot lines from their fan fiction.

It's odd but my lawyer friends have assured me that it can happen. As an author who's planning to write sequels, the only way for me to be safe is to avoid reading fan fiction stories that are set in my own worlds...

It's a weird, funny world sometimes, isn't it?

Mad world.

Antonella wrote: "Mad world."

Yeah. I wish there was a little symbol or icon that I could type for kind of ironic and crazy..
All I've managed to come up with is:

(It's something like the look my cats gives me when I've caught a bird and then just let it go instead of eating it..)

That is bizarre!"

It is, isn't it?
I've talked about it with a few other authors and we all agreed that it seemed strange but that we all abide by the "rule" and keep clear of fan-fiction based on our original works...

I guess I'll never know if Belimai drunkenly pinches Harry Potter's bum... or throws up on his shoes...
Oh well, I can dream I suppose. hehehe.

*throws up on shoes*

AWESOME

oh.... Snape with that grease hair and hard face :D
oh yeah, it would be great :DDD

I could actually post my fan fiction before the novel it's based on gets printed and then sue myself! ;D

Oh dear lord! Someone cover the childrens' eyes!!!

Someone write this instantly!
(Or maybe they already have.)

Thank you, that's a very nice thing to say!

LOL! It means it's a classic now!

Still, I don't feel like reading it...

Silver Iris wrote: "I just found fan fiction for LOTWH.....

I'm going to have to look at it. I'm so curious!"
Tell me if it's awesome and I'll hire the author to write the next three books I have plotted out...Plotting so easy, writing is soooo hard! :D

3 more books??? Can I get a SQUEEEEEE from the crowd??

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Any idea as to when we can see the next one? Or the next ANYTHING Ginn? (Ever since The Rifter, I've been going through some serious withdrawals.)

**Sorry for the double post**

BTW, is anyone from Blind Eye planning to attend GRL in October?

3 books, and one of them is the sequel to ''Wicked Gentlemen'', or a sequel to ''Wicked Gentlemen'' in 3 books?
