Ooh, more Draco. We can never get enough of him :)

Great responses to Ron's question and it will be interesting to see how Harry responds to Draco's question.

Thanks. :D He just snuck himself in there, didn't he? Entirely Harry's fault, of course. *g*

Hi, I'm a bit shy but I hope you don't mind me telling you this.

Just to say that I'd love to read what you've done, there's something about my IE that won't let me display your picture in full. That is, I only get half a page, which means that its frustrating to see only the top half your story. I had the same problem with some of your Draco issues too. Is there a place where you might have it all in text? I understand you want to do it like a proper magazine article, but the format defeats my browser for some reason.

So sorry for the bother.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

You are wanting to read my fic, and run into problems? NEVER be too shy to say something, because it's a compliment to the author that you want to read her (my) work.

I don't believe it's your browser, just the way I have to post on LJ (unless someone wants to point out a better way to me). You just need to click it once to open the scrapbook. Then click it a second time to open it in a viewer. Then click it a third time to zoom in. Then you can use the arrow keys or the hand to 'drag' the image into view and read it.

Hope this helps! It should work with all the Ron and Draco fics as well. PLEASE let me know if it does/doesn't work for you. So far it worked for the few others that had a problem as well. And thanks for taking the time to let me know. (Imagine how horrible it would be if no one could read them). :o)

I'm such a terrible lurker but I'm quite shy about asking about things.

Unfortunately, that's what I did. Click the image 3 times. And all it displayed was half the page. I can see the top half of the image, but it refuses to display whatever's on the other half. No arrow keys to scroll at all. :( This only happened twice for me. One of the Draco chapters was like that (can't remember which), and now, this Harry chapter 1.

Here (http://sesheta-66.livejournal.com/194572.html) is the text-only version.

I won't be posting the text version each time, but will probably do one summary at the end of each set of ten that will include the text version, for anyone having trouble. Possibly after every few. Right now, because of all the fest fics I'm working on, I won't have time [I have to do a non-html version for the image, and it'll take a while to do both], but I did this one quickly. (Some of the html coding isn't there, so it's not as 'pretty' as I would like, but at least you'll be able to read it). Hope that helps.

The same thing happened to me on a couple of Draco's issues. You're not doing anything wrong,love.

I waited until the next day to try again, and it worked fine.

Something wonky with LJ's server or something...
*shrugs*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank goodness! Thanks for letting me know.

Harry, Harry, Harry

Harry, Harry, Harry...

So that's what Harry Potter looks like? Hehe, yum-o although I'm not sure about the lips, looks like he is wearing lipstick and of course I'd have liked him topless, hehe!

I saw something in the first sentence of the article that made me pause. It says "Harry Potter, our Wizard of the Month for February 2008." I thought February was Draco Malfoy, and Ron Weasley was January?

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Re: Harry, Harry, Harry

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Mmm ... Harry with dark lips looks like he's just been snogged. Hee! ;) As for being topless ... if you read future articles, you'll understand why he isn't.

Ah, yes ... the problem with not being an owner of PhotoShop. Once I see an error, I have to wait until June (who is six hours ahead in Spain) is able to read my plea for help, and fix just one little word. *sighs* It was correct in the header, but I missed it in the body, and can't fix it myself. (I was secretly hoping no one else would notice before it was fixed). But thanks for pointing it out - I'd have been horrified if it had been up for days like that.

i'm just catching wind of this series, so i'm going to have to go read ron & draco's asap, but this was adorable!

I don't think I chose him so much as we had always been each other's. *swoons* what a beautiful line!

i'm loving the collaborative effort also! the cover by melmoe is amazing, and i love the article format.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy the series.

I'm rather partial to that line myself. :)

I'm enjoying the collaborative effort too. These ladies possess talents in areas I do not, so it's wonderful to be able to 'package' it a certain way, despite not being artistic. :D

[thrnbrooke.livejournal.com]

Very nice! Though Harry isn't going to be happy with Draco's question. What does his tattoo say? What do the colors mean? Soo can't wait for more!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Patience, my dear, patience. All will be answered in time. ♥

Ah, well, Harry will have the option not to answer it, if he so chooses.

[piratesmile331.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad you posted this chapter. I have to admit that I was a little disappointed that Draco didn't talk much about Harry in that last segment of his.
And I loved this: "I don't think I chose him so much as we had always been each other's." Beautiful.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heh. I suspected that a number of my flist would have preferred more of the H/D dynamic, but I was deliberately only touching on it, because it was to be Draco's fifteen minutes. Of course, Harry's an integral part of his life, but they'll have the opportunity to get into that much more in December.

Glad you liked that line. :)

[gurliemoviegeek.livejournal.com]

OMG!
I don't know whether to kiss those amazing lips or lick that bicep! Choices, choices...
Of course, I hope Draco doesn't know I'm thinking that...

Love that we got to hear Draco talk a little bit more about his love for Harry and how they came to be. Cannot wait to read Harry's interview!

Great job on these, love! *wriggles in anticipation*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I know, eh? Such a gorgeous picture. *swoons* I just added the link to Mel's post, if you want to go leave her a comment.

Glad you enjoyed it. :) Thanks.

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Ooh, someone started early this month! :)

So, this 'wild celebration' at Malfoy Manor you speak of... care to share these pictures? ;)

I quite intrigued by the tattoo on Harry's biceps, are you planning to explain it and its wording in the articles? *looks hopeful*

And hahah, yay for another appearance from Josh! *snickers*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I started early last month too, so Mel could get her pic out there. But parts 2-10 took until the end.

Wild celebration?

Yes, I'll be explaining the tattoo at some point. *grins*

Yay for Josh! *cuddles him*

[nillaskye.livejournal.com]

I love this series! The cover photos are just gorgeous!
So looking forward to Harry's interview!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Yes, Mel really outdid herself on these pics.

I have a number of fest fics due, so it'll be a while before I post the next Harry interview, but they'll all be done this month. :)

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

Oh, I forgot to comment earlier... HEH. I loved it. What a great question for Draco to ask. But I want to hear about the tattoo. The wench Mel won't tell me what it says. *pouts*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heheheh. I'll never tell! Well, no ... that's not right. I'll tell, but only when it comes up in the interviews. ;)
