Mine should be coming soon, then! 
I can't wait!
Suz, that message of yours is quite handy. I used it on another message board because I couldn't figure out how to phrase it on my own. Thanks loads!
And I'm probably going to be featured in the school newspaper! Which, technically is against the rules since I'm a member of the staff, but there can totally be an exception for this. But yay free advertising!

Mine just arrived this morning. ^^
I love how thick the pages are, by the way. My highlighter doesn't bleed through. |

Because I'm a lit nerd who owns a highlighter? Some lines are amazing and show super-cool literary devices. ^_^ For example, if you read Saint's Alone Again she personifies the cups in a way which made me really, really happy. |

Is it ever going to be for sale in stores. Like at chapters. I can't order it online. My mother won't let me but I would really like to own a copy.

This makes me nervous... Suz is critiquing my work and I can't see it. XD
It would be nice if we could put together some sort of a fund (paypal?) to "sponsor" a copy for long-time and/or active members who want the book but can't order it because their parents won't let them buy things online and/or they're a poor, ramen-eating college student. But it's just a dream, I don't know how/if it would work.
Wow, that's a lot of... er, conditional slashes. |

Hehe. Lynlyn, don't worry! Most of my comments have been good. ^_~ Or, no, all of them have! haha.
Your idea is an interesting one, but how to set it up? Of course, people whose parents won't let them purchase online, will usually not let them receive things from random people in the mail. As to ramen eating college students? We should help those! Sam actually doesn't have the money to buy one, haha, so I'm considering buying one for her... But I can't buy one for everyone! I just happen to have money left over from my trip to DC which I should be saving instead of spending...
Haha but you really don't have to worry about me critiquing you.  Though I'm sure that does sound scary! [Does it?] |

I live in England, so I haven't got mine yet. *Sniffs.*
My English teachers somehow found out about it and I had to go up in assembly.
And there wasn't even anything to present!
Being sad, I'm waiting at my door for the post every day... |

I got mine on Saturday! *squeeness*
*throws gzillions of balloons in the air*
I've read it over so many times! You guys are all INCREDIBLY talented, and my story My Smiling Rose just pales in comparison. I did write the thing the night before the deadline and didn't really have time to proofread it, though, so I'm not exactly sure if that gives me some leeway on my story's suckiness? I don't know. But you guys are all awesome authors! |

This is true, but wouldn't it be shipped directly from Lulu? Though "Lulu" does have that sort of horror movie vibe to it. "Honey, there's a strange package here... from Lulu."

No, it was purely in jest. Even if you did write something scary, I would never know. XD |
