Isn't it? I keep going back and look at it! I rather like this whole exchange fic thing, it's been so exciting. And the stories so far are pretty good, too.

[bambu345.livejournal.com]

It was lovely, and perfectly tailored for your story. I left a review for the artist, but I'm glad you posted the comment.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

I had to post to share it with the world, really. It is so incredible that someone out there took the time and effort to do this. I'm really enjoying this exchange. :-)

[bambu345.livejournal.com]

Are you going to be able to upload the image to Ashwinder/Mage to post on your author page? That would be marvelous, wouldn't it?

I, too, am enjoying the exchange so far. My favorite story thus far is the Seven Minutes in Heaven, but I've liked the others as well. What about you?

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Yes, that would be marvelous! I'm hoping that the artist will give me permission to do that once the Big Reveal is over.

Yes, I like Seven Minutes in Heaven best, too, so far. I even have an idea on who the author is.

I also surprised myself how much I enjoyed The Best Gifts, normally I tend to stay away from stories that involve a child Hermione.

The Best Gifts... how did I miss that one? ::scrambles to go look::

Yah, I agree with you! Although we have no idea who it is, it may be a he.

And *frowns* I am not a so-&-so I'll have you know!!!

[ellaselenelupin.livejournal.com]

A really great gift! It's absolutely fabulous!

Are you still sweating over there?

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Isn't it *preens*?

Yeah, it's too hot to be legal, honestly. And now the blasted weather divinators have changed their opinion about rain, apparently it's staying away until Thursday! *grumble* They're about as reliable with their forecasts as Trelawney.

[veradee.livejournal.com]

That's very beautiful.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

I wholeheartedly agree. S/he did a wonderful job with that.

[juli-min.livejournal.com]

I must agree with you I love the whole exchange thing. The picture is amazing as are the other gifts that have been uploaded so far.

As for the weather, I'm honestly thinking about relocating to a milder climate. First we have a winter that does not want to leave and now it feels like living in a desert.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Ja! The exchange is wonderful, isn't it? And yes, I agree on the rest of the exchange contribution so far. I feel seriously anxious now, seeing mine hasn't been posted yet...

Weather: Yes, I wholeheartedly agree with you! Especially here in Aachen, it was a winter from hell, and apparently I missed the worst part when I escaped to the Southern US in February for six weeks. I know what desert life is like, having lived in Arizona, and let me tell ya, I'll take that any day over a hot day here in Germany...

I cleverly escaped the heat tonight by visiting the thermal baths. It's funny how sauna and steam baths followed by jumping in the ice pool calm and cool me, lol.

Btw, I'm reading your multi-chaptered story over on Ashwinder at the moment, am totally loving it!

[juli-min.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank you. I'm glad you like it.

I've lived in Scotland for a while. And although most people would say I'm nuts, I really miss the weather.

Berlin may not have had that much snow in winter but the storms were enough. And now you can barely stay outside for half an hour because of the heat.

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

Oh yes. Scotland has a beautiful climate, as far as I'm concerned! I mean, what beats being able to wear a cloak for most of the year... It's too freaking hot now to wear as much as long, heavy skirts, ya know, let alone a cloak *snerk*. I'd love the San Francisco climate that rarely goes above 17 celcius and rarely below 10 celcius - perfect climate for wearing a cloak all the time.

[juli-min.livejournal.com]

Hm... San Francisco... sounds good to me. I've never been there, maybe it's worth a trip.

You like to wear a cloak all year round? That's like my obsession with dressing in only black or white (well most of the time anyway):D

[lady-karelia.livejournal.com]

San Francisco is the place, except I get a headache before earthquakes nearby, so it's not an option for me.

I would absolutely love to wear my cloak year round! It billows, as Dorkboy testified, too. But alas, come 17 celcius, it becomes a bother. And on the lower levels, comes the minus degrees, it's not warm enough.

And, ja, my entire wardrobe is black, and that is seriously bothersome in such unacceptable temperatures!

OMG! That is wonderful !!! I got goosebumps when I clicked on the link! >:o)
