Hey, you're coming a bit after 11 a.m., right? I'm about to go and wash my hair, so don't try to call me. Um... I'm going to call Ting now and make sure she's outta bed. Leave a message here if necessary. I will keep my computer on and check 4Houses when I get out to blowdry my hair.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Yes. Only problem is that... I got so enthusiastic about posting Jez last night that I haven't spoken to Kathryn. And no one answered the phone this morning. Golly I hope Ting doesn't turn up there before I get through.

[Ariane Chan]

Didn't feel the need to create a new owl. Just want to make sure you read my PM and also what I've written in R&R. If you can't do it that's fine, no worries. If you can I would be very grateful.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Yes yes I replied to your PM and to your post in staff and now here. Stop stressing!

[Ariane Chan]

I wasn't stressing! I was just worried I'd left it too short notice for you, hence I felt guilty. My stressing is different to my worrying! *looks indignant*

[Ivy Tunstall]

However it is largely indistinguishable from the worrying!!!

[Ariane Chan]

Don't blame your incompetence on me! Hmph!

[Ivy Tunstall]

Now where's that quote from just before where you said I was... oh here we go, 'amazing'. And now I'm incompetent? You are fickle.

[Ariane Chan]

Yes! I am that! Ha ha ha!

[Ivy Tunstall]

Okay you admitted it! Darn now I can't insult you anymore.

[Ariane Chan]

Um...

HAH!

;D

*feels satisfied*

[Ariane Chan]

You:

Alexandra (CW) - 1
Ashy (Poem) - 1/2
Celia (Book Review) - 1/2
Emily (Withington Focus) - 1/2
Lily (Point of View) - 1
Lucinda & Sheanna (School Poll) - 1/2
Winnie (Science & Technology) - 1
- Total = 5 pages

Me:

Tori (Rant) - 1 (You forgot her)
Charlotte (Snapshot Into:) - 1
Eleanor (Film Review) - 1/2
Kathryn (QI) - 1
Miriam (Thought Box) - 1
Natasha (Charities) - 1
- Total = 5 and 1/2 pages
(Plus front cover, Editorial Note, etc.)

Currently it's 10 and 1/2 pages, slightly worrying... and there's the voucher to consider if Ting has it ready by then.

[Justin Finch-Fletchley]

I spoke to all my people today, except for Emily.

Oh that reminds me. I had best go ring Emma, if she's going to be at home on Monday nights?

[Ariane Chan]

xD I never noticed that latter question. My answer is I don't know. Emma's timetable is too jam-packed and erratic for me to remember. I doubt she's in much on Monday nights, though, since she's dropped out of choir due to being unavailable on Monday afternoons. She has hockey practise at 7 p.m. on Monday or Tuesday too... I remember 'cause she called me on one of those two days asking me about carols or something... lol. And she said she had practise, and I was like, What?! At 7 p.m. in this dark?! In this cold?! *shakes head* I will never understand her love of hockey. Her love of music, yes. Her love of sport and running around and hitting balls (and people) with big wooden sticks? No.

But anyway, my reason for posting here again is to say I have edited all my six articles (Tori, Natasha, Eleanor, Miriam, Charlotte and Kat) and sent them back to them. I have yet to write the Editorial Note, but I'm saving that for Friday night probably... Or tomorrow at school in my frees, most likely.

I need to tell Lucy about printing in black and white and stuff... *long-suffering sigh* But that's not for now. I'm exhausted from lack of sleep and... well. I don't want to talk about it. Let's just say my parents are the least supportive in the fact that I've sent off my UCAS.

But anyway, not to rush you in your editing. I just wanted to tell you.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Black and white?

[Ariane Chan]

Lol, contacting you about the mag again... Tried calling your house but it went to answer machine. :P

Basically I need to know how long your articles are - i.e. Lily, Alex (poem) and Ashy. I'm currently working it all out again because Emily's is a lot longer than I had anticipated... Since we have this much space I'd like to give her at least a page - the puzzle is quite long and she hasn't even sent me the second half of the Withington Focus yet! I've got half of hers, Emma H's (a page), Miriam's (don't know how long at the mo, and she's sent me two articles so I'm going to have to choose after I've done Emily's) and Kat's, which will probably be about a page but I haven't checked. Tori's pulled out... and besides that everything's still the same, so I'm wondering if Lily or Ashy have overwritten, and if they have it's fine. I just need to know. Thanks. :)

EDIT: I think I may whang together a horoscope, y'know? Just for this issue, maybe... It'll be about half a page to a page, but it depends on how much space we need to fill.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Well then you should've left a message and I would've picked up the phone!

Alex's poem is 1/2 of a page.
Winnie's Science & Technology is between 3/4 to just under a full page.
Ashy's CW prose is just under a page.
Lily's is 1 and a half pages at present, but it's in quite large font.

[Ariane Chan]

Okay, sounds good. We may extend Lily's, depending on whether or not I can be bothered with a horoscope. :)

[Ariane Chan]

Final page approximations:

Izy:
- Winnie: Science & Technology (1)
- Lily: Point of View (1 - 1½)
- Alex: Poetry Corner (½)
- Ashy: Creative Writing (1)
Total = 4 - 4½ pages

Viv:
- Charlotte: Snapshot Into (or other title) (1½)
- Alex: Book Review (½)
- Eleanor: Film (½)
- Natasha: Untitled (1)
- Miriam: The Thought Box (1)
- Kathryn: Q.I. (1)
- Emma H: Emma's Note (1)
- Emily: Withington Focus + Puzzle (1 - 1½)
- Lulu & Sheanna: School Poll (½)
Total = 8 - 8½
(+ write Editorial Note)

Grand Total = 12 - 13 pages!
That's about right, hm? We have fourteen pages to fill, so this means I either write an insane article about... Strictly? Or... Ugh, maybe a Creative Writing piece. Could be called 'The Editor's Page' or something ridiculous, y'know. Anything to fill up the last 1 - 1½ pages. :P Might be a horoscope if I have no time, lol.

I need to send you my Editorial Note tomorrow night. If I don't do it before 9 p.m. and you're online, remind me by owling me or phoning me please! Otherwise you won't see it until Sunday, most likely. ><

I am going to track down Alex, Charlotte, Natasha, Eleanor and Sheanna and Luly tomorrow and do my usual 'threatening' harrassment. :P I also need to find Veronique. Please also remind me when you see me tomorrow morning. Oh wait. You're not in school. Damn. Okay, well, if you do come in remind me! :D

Oh, technically you should ask Aneeqa if she's got any photos... If I see her I'll try and remember but please do that asap or on Monday at the latest.

[Ivy Tunstall]

Ahem! I am not in on Monday, remember. That be the reason why you are editing so many of the articles I would normally edit this time... but I am in tomorrow afternoon. Just skiving - for the first time in my life!!! - tomorrow morning.

I have an idea for an article but I was thinking that January would be a better time for that. And Aneeqa's photos would also be good, I will ask her if I see her but you may want to if you see her.

What happened to the anonymous article?
