| | |  J.K.Rowling updates her website
J.K.Rowling has updated the news, extras and rubbish bin sections of her website. In the updates she discusses the ' Half-Blood Prince' release weekend and dismisses the idea that she doesn't like being referred to as a child's author. Quote:
The midnight reading on Friday and the question and answer session on Sunday both took place in Edinburgh Castle. Nobody had told me that the cover image of 'Half-Blood Prince' was going to be projected onto the frontage of the castle when I arrived at half past eleven on Friday. I hadn't expected that many people to be there when I got out of the car, either. I really must pay better attention in meetings in future, but I'm certainly not complaining, it was wonderful!
Quote:
Reading live on television is not for the faint-hearted. However, apart from one moment just before I walked into the Great Hall (yes, it's really called that!), when I thought I was going to throw up, it seemed to go all right. The best part, however, was when the cameras were turned off and I was able to talk normally to the 'cub reporters' before giving them their signed books.
In the extras section she talks about what it was like to meet and be interviewed by Melissa (TLC) and Emerson (MN). Quote:
We laughed at the strangeness of the situation – it was a little like a three-cornered blind date – and then settled down to talk properly. They were both, as I had known they would be, wonderful. Funny, bright, completely committed to getting some proper answers out of me. We were supposed to be together an hour: two had passed before any of us noticed and if I hadn't had a baby to feed, I think we could have gone on most of the night.

Cool, I'm going to have to check out her site...
I give her lots of credit! I don't think I could read aloud to so many people. I know I would just be mis-speaking all over and people would be like - "does this chick know how to read or what?"

That's really really cool! I wish I could have the luck Emerson and Melissa had!

Melissa and Emerson were chosen for their dedication to the fandom (the fans are the reason she wanted to give this kind of interview; the dedication Emerson & Melissa give to their websites and the sites' members) and their knowledge of the books. Few people could get this honour and I was really pleased these two were chosen. (Not to say I wouldn't have like to see our own Emma get the honour as well!  )

I love her website. I think it was really nice of her to add her experience being interviewd by Emerson and Melissa to the Extra section. If I were them I would feel so honored lol. I'm glad she liked the Edinburgh event. It sounded so awesome.

The rubbish bin is a part of Jo's website where she posts different 'rumors' and she says what she thinks about them .To go there click on the gum wrapper on her desk next to the coffee mug. After that by clicking on About you can get more info about the rubbish bin.

I would probably puke too. I think it would be fun to have all those people dying to meet you and all that stuff, but i'd probably be scared i'd trip or something. I hope she had a great time.

Lay off Jo. She didn't say anything mean-spirited. Quote:

You guys flatter me. Alas I am a British journalist, a species she does not like! I've not been a part of the online fandom for anywhere near as long as they have. Quote:

You can get to it either by clicking on a chewing gum wrapper or clicking on the link 'dismisses'.

I don't really like the way her site is put out, I would of loved to be there when she read out in the great Hall.
