Fw from the main list: [HPforGrownups] The Book: Maybe it's a good thing.

[Heidi Tandy]

I'm taking this from the main list, as I thing I'm taking it quite off topic. 

What does the not-quite-six-month wait mean for you?

For me it's:
1 healthy baby born (God willing)
Approx 25+ sponsors of Nimbus - 2003 signed
Likely 10,000 fics and chapters submitted to FictionAlley - and about 6000 uploaded
1 chapter - the last - of surfeit of curses, my fanfic, which I really do need to finish
Hundreds, if not thousands of newbies to this wonderful fandom
One and a half plane trips - I'm writing this somewhere over colorado
And just over 250 pieces of sushi.    

Sounds like a solid few months.

bboy_mn:
In view of your schedule, perhaps it's best if the book doesn't come
out for 6 more months.

Also, you forgot-
200 bottles of beer
30 pizza
40 parties
150 hamburgers
100 orders of french fries
80 hours of nightclub dancing
and all the other staples of college life.

Yes, I think it's best if you wait until the end of the school year.

Of course, that just my opinon.
