Hi:

Nope.  No need for paranoia -- I just checked & you did the correct
batch.  <g>

Here's who I show as having completed their group of messages:
        Joy (Joy0823, not to be confused with Joywitch)
        Anna (the first batch)
        Heidi (the first batch)
        Ebony
        Simon
        Me (Penny)

Please let us know if you're not going to be able to do your assigned
grouping after all -- we can reassign your group if need be.  I know
lots of you are at work on your messages, so I expect we'll get more
file uploads this week.  Right?  Right.  <g>

I'm going to start thinking about how I want to approach each one of
mine -- do some basic layout work.  But, I'm going to wait & do most of
the looking through messages once all the messages have been reviewed &
categorized.  I can probably do the Fanfiction FAQ without looking
through many messages on the other hand.  I might also use Joywitch's
excellent 3 part message from sometime last month about all the
Inconsistencies & Mysteries we'd identified before.  I think that was
pre-GoF now I think about it, but it would help me with setting up:
Inconsistencies & Mysteries: PoA in any case.

Some of the FAQs can be done in a "Question & Answer" format.  Others
will be just information (like the Character Names (meaning) FAQ for
example).  I'm envisioning some links in the FanFiction FAQ -- links to
the Paradigm homepage & to fanfiction.net for example.

The Potential Romance Pairings -- I'm envisioning each Pairing, followed
by arguments for & against.

The Casting FAQ -- will leave it to Neil -- but it seems it might be
worthwhile to list each character & the fantasy casting picks of our
members underneath each character's name.  You could have a lead-in
about the director choice, filming locale & various other bits about the
movie rights.

Neil said: <<<It's a good idea to sketch out the FAQs now.  I'm assuming
that some will be Q+A style (even if the 'A' is a mass of speculation in
some  cases) and some will just be comments, links, anecdotes, opinions
(which might have to be included verbatim) or lists.  With each
character, we could include a summary (if available) from our ongoing
discussions or write a brief sketch to head up the FAQ.>>>

I think that sounds exactly like what I'm thinking.

I plugged my messages into the FORT database just now & added 20 record
groups in the process.  It seems I thought about my groupings a bit more
general than other people did.  So, I apologize -- some of mine fit
neatly into the existing FORT categories.  In other cases, I was left
putting message numbers into 2 groupings -- like Animagi & Mythical
Creatures -- I had all that grouped together under "Magical Creatures."
So, apologies, to Heidi -- I have duplicates because I didn't record the
messages with Animagi separate from Mythical Creatures.  Like I said, I
also added 20 new categories.

Update: my dog is doing great.  The surgeon called to report that he's
up & trying to walk this morning. Comes home on Monday.  :--)
