Hi everyone --

Thanks to Voicelady for reminding us of Carole's birthday!  Happy 
birthday to Carole!!!  

I came home to lots of wonderful fanfic additions & just wanted to 
reiterate all the praise that has been heaped on the fics of Ebony 
(AngieJ), Cassie (DS10 came out on Sunday), John Walton (Crazy Ivan) & 
Jim Ferer(Dadgrid).  These are all so wonderful!  Like Voicelady, I 
absolutely cannot enthuse enough over Ebony's fic -- no matter which 
"ship" it eventually ends up as, I guarantee you'll enjoy the read!  
And, I'm enjoying Kathy's Hermione POV series -- mind you, it's 
motivating me to write my own Hermione POV (which would differ 
*significantly* from Kathy's take on things), but I *am* enjoying it. 
 <grins at Kathy>  We have some real talent on this group.  Good thing 
too since no Book 5 until 2002 sometime.

And, as for *real* talent on this group, I must add that I *finally* 
got a chance to read Peg's 2nd novel "Wild Swans" (thanks to Carole 
for my Xmas present!).  I cannot say enough good things about this 
novel either -- it's truly a masterpiece.  Should be required reading 
for all our members.  <g>  I highly recommend that you all read it 
post haste.

Penny
