You are invited to write us – about you, about Cornelia, about reading her books, about Fire-eaters, Dragons or Thieves ... Remarks and criticism regarding Cornelia's website are also welcome.

It goes without saying that insults and offensive remarks of any kind are not wanted and will be deleted immediately.

If you have questions, please first of all browse this website. There is a good deal of information to be found, for example, in our news or in the FAQs. You will find answers to the most common questions concerning Cornelia's biography, her books, her inspiration, her family, the movie projects, and so on.

Dear Folks,

now that Christmas and New Year's Eve are again just around the corner, you may ask what Guesty is planning to do this year.
Well, actually he wanted to do ... nothing. Just lazing around, watching kitschy X-mas movies and stuffing himself with gingerbread and cinnamon cookies.

But yesterday we got an urgent letter from Rudolph (maybe you remember that last year Guesty celebrated Christmas with the red-nosed reindeer, and he even was allowed to help pulling the sledge).
To cut a long story short, Rudolph is down with the flu, got it from his reindeer chum Donner, and his red nose just won't stop running. That's why Guesty will have to be running - to Lapland - to pull the sledge, you know? Otherwise there won't be presents this year :- (

So, on Tuesday Guesty will pack his bags to head for the icy North. This little bulky book ... always involved in adventures. Me, on the other hand, I'll spent the holidays with my family as usual - but for sure this will be nice as well :- )
And Guesty has promised to throw down snow and nuts and chocolate gingerbread men for us when flying above our heads on Christmas Eve. Don't you promise too much, little bulky book! I'm sure you will eat all that sweet stuff yourself ;- )

Anyway, we wish you a cosy Christmas time and a beautiful, dazzling new year 2009! We'll be back for you on 7 January. Take care and don't you drink too much eggnog :- D

Insa :- ) and Guesty :o )

beste cornellia funke,

ik vind al je boeken mega mooi
thomas en de laatste draken,
de dieven bende van scipio,
en hart van inkt.

ik schriijf dit omdat ik een vraag heb over web van inkt,
ik vind het einde zoooo zielig.
schrijf je nog een boek 'de dood van inkt' of zo.
echt ik ben net als orfeus ik moet niet hebben dat stofvinger dood is.

maak alsjeblieft nog een boek.
mischien over dat ze stof vinger terug halen?

ik zag je boeken als een voorbeeld maar dit is niet leuk!

*** Dear Layla, unfortunately I do not speak Dutch, but I got your question. So I hope you'll understand my answer in English:
The third part of the Ink trilogy is called "Inkdeath" (German title: Tintentod). It came out in Germany last autumn. Unfortunately we do not know yet when the third part will be published in the Netherlands, but I'm quite sure that it will be translated soon. Warmest wishes from Germany! Insa (Cornelia's sister who takes care of her website)***

Hi people! I'm taking a quick break from my cousins to write this.

Jessy:
P.E. stands for Physical Education. It involves a lot of running and sports and athletic stuff. Deoderent is stuff you put in your armpits to keep you from sweating. A towel is a soft cloth to wipe your hands, feet, or other parts of your body on. Oh yeah, I get up at 5:45 to leave an hour later. I have a friend who gets up at 5:15! She has to ride to school with some crazy senior (don't worry, he's nice even though he's crazy). I got to go to the barn on Thursday! School went only a half-day (12:00), so I went straight to the barn. A girl from Ecuador was there! She has actually been to the U.S. before and can speak fluent Spanish, English, Portuguese, and French, I think. Daniella (the girl from Ecuador) is staying with a woman who rides at my barn and has her own horse. I actually taught Daniella how to steer a horse, which was weird since she's older than I am!

The Black Hood:
Ooooh, that sounds cool! I hope you do it, that's a great idea.

Ok, I know I've asked this before, but is ANYONE upset about the "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" being set back from a November release date to a July release date? Just wondering.

That's it for now. Bye!

2008-08-29 at 00:13:

I'm back!!! And I have no idea what's been going on, so please fill me in if you like.... And guess what! I'm now a weekly columnist! Its quite tough actually, come to think about it, but its wicked fun!

I also got another great idea! I'm going to walk to school one day! even thought I am... umm at least a 3 hour walk away... actually... probably more... I have a fealing im being unrealistic, but I want to try anyway! I'm going to try to do it as a fundraiser, and raise money for my school... the money will go towards buying renewable energy for the school, so that they save on power, and can buy other stuff... (easyer to get donations that way, and it actually is a lot better in the long run) I also want to get TONS of people doing it... And I'll film it I think too... Good idea? lol i got the idea when I told my dad that I didn't want to ride in the tractor with him, because I wanted to get to the other end of the field by my own means, (pick blackberries along the way) and then I got the idea that I should get to school that way... once at least... Oh... and today I found an iced tea can underwater, but then it floated away when i emptyed it XD

Anyway, write back later...

Hey,
I recently read the book "Le prince des voleurs" (The Thief Lord) and I really like it! i would like to learn german and read it in german! it inspired me to write my one story!
But I would like to know, if I liked this book, which other book by Cornelia would I like!
Thanks;

Ellen:
Hi! Here I am^^
I hate school. It’s so busy … =((( First week and so much homework.
Getting up at 6am ;)
Who’s/What’s P.E.?
I’m 14, too =)
“… to bring a towel and deodorant”? What’s that? ^^ What did you do with these things?
Some of my teachers are doctors. But we don’t call them “Doctor …” even if they told us to do it. We call them “Mister …” ^^
Oh, yeah, right, you mostly have in the USA every day the same classes, right? In Germany it’s different; we have every day of the week different subjects (with the same class). It’s cool, but sometimes it’s like you said: Bad/Hard subjects on one day -.-
Hope you had luck with your P.E. …

Insa:
You’re sure? ‘Cause I mean the English one. Not the german. The English plural of “Umlaut” …

Bye!!!

*** Oh, sorry. I got that wrong. Well, I have no idea. I've only found the singular. Maybe you could say "mutated vowels"? ***

um, i was wondering, is it possible that another picture of Farid will be available? from the movie, like, so we can see his face? i've been dying to see him with the make up and everything. eeekk!!!

everyone: hi!! hope you all enjoyed your summer!

insa: one last thing, do you read fanfiction? do you recommend any of them?

ok, thats it, i'm going to go eat something now =), byeee

Hey guys! Not much to write right now . . . oh wait! The other day when I was in the car with my mom I saw another car with "Maroon5" on the back of it. Mom said, "Why does it say Maroon5?" I replied, "Hmmm, makes me wonder." (like their hit song) Sorry that's so lame.
See ya later!

Hey Insa,
I'm very excited for both you and Cornelia about your latest book being released and your movie. I don't remember when the movie is supposed to come to theatres. Can you help me out? And I would also like to know when the book arrives in store.
Thank you so much for a story that created a world for me.

Hannah C.
Ask for any ideas for a new book. ;)

*** Hi Hannah, the European movie premiere will be around December and the US one in January. Inkdeath will come out in October. Warmest wishes from Germany! Insa :- ) ***

2008-08-26 at 19:43:

Olivia,
No problem, I hope you enjoy them. If you like them, you might also enjoy another series by the same author called Winds Of The Forelands, the first book is called Rules Of Acsention, then Seeds Of Betrayal, then Bonds of Vengeance, Shapers of Darkness, and the last one is called Weavers of War. There is a second series after that, a continued storyline, called Blood Of The Southlands, the first book is titled The Sorcerers Plague. I figure this will keep you busy for a while. By the way the second book in the LonTobyn Chronicles is a bit slow but you have to read it to understand the third book.

Dani,
Yeah he went to the Dr. He's getting the results today, I hope it's good news, I don't think I could stand it if we lost him too.

Alex,
Where are you?

From the Badlands,

Hey guys, I haven't (got?) much time ... Sorry, Ellen! Later!

But I have a question. You know the (german) word "Umlaut?" Letters like ä, ö, ü, ß. Used in Germany.
What's the Plural? UmlautE or UmlautS?
We don't know, even our teacher, so I ask.
Hope of answer! ♥

*** Auf jeden Fall "UmlautE" ***

Scourge15,
Thanks so much for answering me!! And I will go check them out. They sound really good!

2008-08-25 at 19:37:

Wow!!!! The movie was really made two years ago? It's taking forever for it to come out. I can't wait for Inkdeath !!!!!!!!!!!!! Is it going to be out by October? I would also like to say that I love your website. It is put together so nice. Did you design all of it Insa? Thanks,CCL

*** Inkdeath will come out in October, yes :- )
As for the design, Cornelia did all the drawings and little pictures for her website. ***

Dear Cornelia Funke,
When I read "Inkheart" and "Inkspell", I thought they are the greatest books that I have ever read. It is like reallity and fantasy bond together! I can't wait to read your next book "Inkdeath". It almost sounds like a mystery to me. And I am also excited to see "Inkheart " as a movie. But i am still wondering if they will make "Inkspell" as a movie.

*** Hi Mary, it depends on how successful the Inkheart movie will be. Warmest wishes from Germany! Insa ***

Hey,

I just wanted to ask if Inkdeath came out in Canada yet? I thought it was coming out in October, but now people are saying they have copies already in english. Is this possible or not?

I wish the guestbook and Insa a nice break from all of us writers. Thank you for letting us write in the guestbook, and for that Guesty , you can relax and get some book spine massaging.

If any of you are interested and speak German, there is going to be a radio show broadcasted at 9:00 on radio x. You can go to live feed and here it, I hope you do.

A wonderful summer to you all!

Sprotte

*** Hi Sprotte, maybe some booksellers already got copies, but the book premiere won't be before October. Insa :- )
P.S.: book spine massage - hahaaaaaaaaaaa, great ***

Hi everyone! I haven't had time to write with high school, homework, cousins, and getting up at 5:45 in the morning. I LOVE high school (except P.E.)! Our English teacher is really funny, only his sense of humor is dry, so it's a little hard to tell whether he's being serious or funny. Oh yeah, one of the teachers, Mrs. Bacon (I don't have her for classes), had a baby boy over the weekend. It was announced during my Geometry class and some of the sophomores started joking about calling the baby "Bacon Bit". And one of my friends said they should've named him Chris P. Bacon. I kid you not!

Dustfinger2.0:
I've been reading a series of books (dunno what they're called) by Donita K. Paul. Don't read them if you're not religious, though, because they're allegories (they have a deeper meaning). The first book is called "Dragonspell". If you're a girl, I'd recommend Tamora Pierce. Her writing is aimed towards girls. Hope that helps!
Oh, is anyone else angry about the release date of the "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" movie? They changed it to JULY 2009!!!!!!!!!!!!! How could they?! I'd like to hear someone else's views on this.
See ya soon,
Ellen

I would love to tell you Farid's fate, but I'm afraid that someone would wack me over the back of my skull if I did. Besides, I'd hate to ruin any surprises. =)

Olivia,
There is a very good trilogy written by David B. Coe, It's called The LonTobyn Chronicles. The first book is called Children Of Amarid, the second is called, The Outlanders, and the third is called, Eagle-Sage. They have to do with owls and hawks and magic, they are very exciting and fast paced. You should check them out, you'll thank me.

Heya Insa,

I just thought id say hey as i havent posted in the guestbook for a while (You have more than enough people posting to keep you occupied im sure!). But i thought id post anyway to say that i think you do a wonderful job looking after the site and replying to all your guestbook buddies :)

I also wanted to ask is the premiere for Inkheart going to be 2008 or 2009? I know these things chnage often and i can never quite keep up!

Also i just wanted to ask (im not sure if it has been asked before) but if you have heard of the Twilight series? the film is going to be out in November, they are truly amazing, but a completely different style and genre to Inkheart. And are YA fantasy fiction. Also does Cornelia read in German or English, or does she not mind?

Lots of questions sorry! anyway, i hope you enjoy your break, its well deserved!!

x x x

*** First of all, thank you so much for the nice compliment ♥
As for the Inkheart movie, I don't know if the British premiere will be in 2008 or 2009. The German premiere will be in December, the US premiere will be in January. Sorry, that's all I know so far :- (
As to Twilight, of course I've heard of the series. Everyone here in the guestbook is crazy about the books. Third question: Cornelia looooooves to read English books. Warmest wishes from Germany! Insa ***

Dear Cornelia,

I loved Inkheart! It was an awesome book and I can't wait to read the next book. I can't wait until the movie comes out although I know it won't be as good as the book. My favourite character was Meggie although I really liked Dustfinger and Gwin.

Love,

Dear Cornelia,

My sister works at a local library and had a wonderful co-worker lend an advance copy of Inkdeath to her for a couple of weeks. My sister brought it home, handed it to me, and said: "Have at it." with a smile on her face. And then I disappeared behind the cover of the book and didn't come out for about five days. I know I can't leak any info about it, but I will say that my whole self was shining for days after reading it! The conclusion to your trilogy is absolutely stunning...I wish that I too were and inkweaver, so that I might say how much your book meant and still means to me. Thank you so much for writing the Inkheart Trilogy!

Ryan
2008-08-17 at 03:42:

In this website, Cornelia states that Dustfinger returns in Inkdeath. I think that is kind of a spoiler. And the author wrote it herself on her website. :(

*** No, Ryan, it is NOT a spoiler. Why do you think Cornelia would do that? ***

I know! The dunk tank was so cool, did you see Dragon-Riders face when you dunked him? It was so funny, I got a picture of him when he was just about to fall into the water. I gotta go, see you tomorrow.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR BOOKS INKHEART, AND INKSPELL. I also can't wait to read Inkdeath. I'm super excited to watch Inkheart the movie I'm just not sure where i can watch it yet. Also, I have thought about becoming a writer but have never really finished any story I have started to write. I have tried but soon would get bored with the story. Is there any way you can give me advice or tell me about when you were writing your books. Did you ever have trouble when you were writing? I'm not sure if these questions have been answered on this website but I would love to hear from you.

I have to comment on the choice of actors for the new movie. Brendan Fraser ?!?! I imagined Mo more as i fatherly figure but Brendan doesn't really strike me as ''fatherly''. As for Dustfinger ,Meggie ,Farid ,and Resa, all I can say is =/. And don't get me started on Capricorn , =( .I'm sorry for all the criticisim, I just had to get it out.Love the books!

That's your decision. Just try it out for a while and see how it sounds.
Everyone:
Argh . . . I'm so sore . . . I HATE P.E.!!!!!!!!!! We're going to be timed on a mile at least twice during the semester. We have to run it in under 7:30 to get a 6 (it's a 6.0 grade scale). And we also have to touch the ground bending from the waist, do crunches, push-ups, and jump-rope. People, stop laughing about jump-rope!!!!!!! I'm deadly serious!!!!! Oh, well, there's a mixer tonight at school. I dunno what we'll do there

The Black Hood from The Eastern Townships
2008-08-14 at 00:56:

YES!!! I did it!!! OMG!!!

You may be wondering what this is about, well, its about the fact that I just sent in an article to my local newspaper (The Sherbrooke Record) and they actually liked it! in fact, they want me to send in more! which I can do, when I edit them! YES!!! Finally!!!

@ Scourge: Happy birthday! I'm actually a bit nevous about turning 16 (on the 16th of april!), as it means you get to drive, and im excited as well, but a bit nervous that I'll crash into something.

@ Bec: :-s did you know that your brain uses at least 25% of your energy? therefore "learning" is taking up precious starving energy! (I'll bring this point up to my teachers :) )

@ Everyone: the article in question is this:

Just Ask

Cancer. It seams to be popping up everywhere. Behind the fridge, between the floorboards; even on Slow Joe Crow's Nose. But what can be so evil as to cause something so destructive, deadly, and dangerously displeasing in the first place?

Now I'm certain that brain cancer is caused by hairdryer use, (as they use twice as much power as a microwave) other types of cancers depend highly on the positioning of you in relation to your radioactive mini-cooker. But kitchen appliances can't account for all of them. No! There has to be another culprit!

Now I did a little research, which is to say that for no reason at all, the image of Omega 3 Eggs popped into my head. Nothing special about that right? it's only eggs right? Eggs have been around since well... since before the chicken... or after, depending on opinion, but what about this Omega stuff? How do they get it into the chicken eggs? I highly doubt that the egg factories inject the vitamin / potential suspect of cancer causingness through syringes. Genetically modified grain anyone? Sounds plausible I guess. It was then that I realised that it was highly unlikely that I manage to convince anyone to stop eating these eggs over a groundless theory, and moved on to the more pressing issue.

I have seen vitamin supplements of Omega 3, 6, and 9, but what gives? Whatever happened to the ones in between? 1-2-4-5-7-8? Aren't they important too? And if they aren't, why didn't those scientist just give the important ones numbers 1, 2, and 3 to avoid confusion? Is Omega 6 twice as good as Omega 3? Is there an Omega 12 to be twice as good as Omega 6? But that can't be because the people at the egg factories would be putting Omega 9, or 12 in it, as it is much better than the usual Omega. But then there's the ultimate question: What the heck does it do? Most people have no idea as to what purpose most vitamins fulfil, and that isn't very good incentive to get some. Such as niacin, vitamin B7356 (there are so many vitamin B's that it's safe to assume this one exists), and of course, the elusive and mind-boggling, Riboflavin.

What is the meaning for all these odd names? Why such secrecy? Are they actually a slow acting poison developed by the government to kill us all by what would appear to be “natural” causes? I'm determined to call Health Canada and bring up this rather important issue. I'm also quite sure that they'll just say something along the lines of “It's just like that because.” and then completely avoid the question, say that it isn't important, then put me on hold with some kind of boring music that people accustomed to putting other people on hold usually play. In fact these uncooperative (and sometimes overcooperative) operators are the cause of 97.3% of cancer cases in young people (says Dr. R. Aldridge, from the Canadian institute of Cancerologists) , especially that really frustrating kind, Leukaemia, that isn't just in one organ, but insists on inhabiting your entire body, and rudely refusing to pay the rent every month.

I fully agree with Dr. Aldridge and all those other cancerologists, as it does seam to me as rather unhealthy to constantly be answered by crude because's and that's just the way it is . Every time you ask a question along the lines of “Why do some restaurants give you 2 forks when you only use one?” or “Why does the green paint section of the SICO website only display yellows?” and you're answered with that same excuse for an answer, experts have proven that you may develop extreme frustration, which may lead to mental ulcers that can't help themselves but to act as realtors for any immigrating Leukaemians

So dear reader, here's my advice to you: use those toll free numbers on every occasion possible. You'll go to bed a smarter Canadian, and who knows, it may just save your life.

Hope you liked it!

Hi Insa, it isn't really very clear on the website so I have to ask...so is Cornelia German or what? I LOVE her books, especially the inkheart trilogy, she really makes the characters come alive...kinda like Mo!!! I know you said no Inkheart movie questions but I think you would know this and it doesn't say on the site-is the english movie of it the first one to come out? thanks!!! xoxox

*** Hi Katie, yes, Cornelia is German. You find the answer in our WHY- section: http://www.corneliafunke.de/en/questions/question-41.html
As for the movie, the European movie premiere will be first and will take place in Germany. And the US premiere ... well, I'm not sure, maybe in New York or Los Angeles? We have no exact premiere dates yet, sorry. Warmest wishes from Germany! Insa :- ) ***

It's finally gotten cooler! Cooler being around eighty degrees where I live. That may sound pretty warm to some, but comparing it to how hot is has been, eighty is almost cold. I feel so much better when I wake up in the morning and the weather is actually pleasant. I feel like I've just gotten permission to be happy again (hot weather has a way of doing that to me).
On the subject of temperature, Insa, how cool is it over in Germany? And is your sister rooting for Germany or The United States in the Olympics? (I don't want to start any conflict between anyone, I just was wondering at the moment).
I hope that everyone reading this is blessed with a good day today and for the rest of the coming week.

Hi Guesty!
I am very very very sorry that I haven't written in a while and I really must start this Guestbook writing off with one question: When does Inkdeath come out in England? It sounds brilliant and I really love the new book cover for Inkdeath/Titentod. One of my friends is a Inkfan too. So far I've read Dragon Rider, The Thief Lord, Inkheart, Inkspell, seen the Thief Lord movie, and listened to the Thief Lord book on tape as well as the Dragon Rider book on tape. So i'll finish this off with the obvious: I love books!

Mh, it's your first time in High School? How old are you (if you want to tell me this)?

2008-08-09 at 02:02:

FINALLY! He isn't playing his game!!! (my dad bought this game some time in the last weeks, and was playing it nonstop because it was raining. and what annoyed me the most is that he spent 4 days trying to update the stupid thing! AHHH!!! and i rather don't like using the computer upstairs because it's slower and i just find that the house is too quiet up there...

anyway, today i saw a applebounglebanglebeast... well not really, but that was what i was going to tell any hikers i might encounter in the woods... I was going to tell them about this strange creature (with a weird accent of course) and how it rips out your organs, takes a little bite, and sows them back in to keep you alive.
unfortunately, I didn't see any hikers. I just now thought that chances are, they'd be french, so the whole plan would be in vain... damn. (althogh im fluent, I'm not very convincing in french (unless im speaking english with a french accent and adding in french words at random))
I can't believe i hadnt thought of that! I wonder if anyone would be gullable enought to believe it existed though?

@Bec: I wanted to do the 40 hour famine last year (although it may be 30 hours where I am) but I had no idea where to sign up. in my case you get to sleep in the school and you watch movies and stuff and basically do nothing all day (and seing as its on a school day (in my case) you can be excused for all sorts of things you may want to do in class because of hunger (although most teachers probably wouldnt buy it at all! OK, there's NO WAY they'd buy it! So dont try it! Especially considering that at the time that your in classes youve only missed breakfast, and maybe just had a late lunch. and some people dont even get that... (ok most do, but there have been ocasions that ive skipped lunch till later because I was really busy doing stuff that according to some people (certain teachers that would catch me comming in late) probably isnt important, but that really is for the benefit of a lot of people.

Anyway, i have to go, my sister has to find out if her horseback riding lessons are cancelled (by the way, what have I missed?)

Dear Cornelia,
I am basically obsessed with the inkworld trilogy. Once I started reading the first book, I could not stop. Now I am at the beginning of the second book, and I can't wait for the third to come out. Are you going to make a fourth book? I hope you are. Also, I know that the release date is still not set for the "Inkheart" movie, but since you are in the whole astablishment and stuff, maybe you can give me an estimate of when you think it will come out.
Thanks ALOT,

I think your books are great! I love all of the peolpe in Inkheart. I also loved the book Dragon Rider. They should make a movie of that one too! I want to become a writer who writes books like you, so thank you for giving me the courage to become a good writer

Dear Insa,
Whenever the subject of Meggie and Farid come up the answer is always "There will be another boy" I'm dying to know who he is. Could you at least give out his name? Thanks.

*** In the German edition he is called Dorian, but I don't know if his name will be changed for the English translation. ***

Inkheart was nice to read-the affectionate father and daughter,all the characters were good including capri.. and basta-love to see the movie too.

I just wanted to let you know that your books are so amazing and personally I don't think the INK series was just for children or young adults. My husband and I are over 40 years old and we have thoroughly enjoyed these books and cannot wait for Inkdeath. You're phenomenal!! In writing and the artistry work as well.

Urgh . . . I'm starting high school next Monday . . . went and put my books in my new locker yesterday . . . my backpack will break before the year's up with the weight of my books . . . you should see my literature book, it's about as thick as an average dictionary!!!!!!!!!! Oh, yeah, don't forget the physical yesterday (I'm perfectly healthy, thank you very much). Aside from the regular doctor at the clinic, there was a very nice girl from Germany who is studying medicine. So, I was examined twice! Ok, end of high school rant.

Yeah, I know what you mean! It always feels good to get back in the saddle after a loooong time! :-)

Who is the other boy that Cer from Mf was talking, and Cer if you reading this could you tell me where you heard it from?
yours truly,
Cody.
p,s, I changed where I was from because I can, and it doesn't sound very sophisticated when you say that you're from happyville. ;)

*** Dear Cody, we will not give away any details so far. Best wishes! Insa ;- ) ***

Hey! im a huge fan of the Inkworld! Im dying to read Inkdeath. I have some questions to ask but il wait to have them to be awnserd by the book.
Do you plan to write more books like these? And I know that you said no more questions on the movie but will they make Inkspell a movie?

*** Hi Abigail, as for your first question, have a look at Cornelia's last monthly reports (news). It depends on how successful the Inkheart movie will be, if Inkspell will be made into a movie as well. Warmest wishes from Germany! Insa :- ) ***

Insa: Whoops! I guess I should have been more thorough there! XD Narcissa is the reincarnation. Insa is Insa. ^_^ ;D Sorry about that.

Alex: Wherever you are... ^_^ XD I'm working on one major story right now, but I can't think of what to name it! xD It's about this girl who falls in love with a vampire-type man, and can't save her mom from falling off a bridge, so the man comes and she tells him she loves him.

Then she finds out that he's gonna mutate after not drinking for a long time and she goes to an evil witch for help. The witch turns her into a flesh-feeder/vampire thing... XD and fixes Valance and her daughter Insa, and they're both back to normal now.

This is about where I left off. ;D I know, crappy, but I can e-mail you the detailed version if you like. ;D

Sprotte: Yes, the twilight fans are VERRYY happy! ;D Although I don't like the whole Jacob/Renesmee deal. And what's with Rosalie?

Hi there everyone! Long time no chat! XD I was wondering, Insa, if you'd like the storyline of my novel-in-progress. I'm around one-tenth of the way finished. XD

And yes, you're a main character. ;D Insa is Narcissa's daughter from a past-life (she's supposed to be the reincarnation of someone) Cornelia's in there to. Hehe. ;D

*** Oh, that's creepy! I am a reincarnation :- ( ***

@The Black Hood- that was a very cruel thing you said about kittens! I'm a cat fan not a dog fan. (Forgive me to those ppl who like dogs over cats) I know your right i just don't want to belive it. Heehee. Well just wanted to say that.!>!>!>!>!>!>

BYE!

@ Ellen: Noooo! that's awful! but even six would be a lot I think. (my grandmother told me that she had a cat that had a litter of 2, then 3, then 4, then 5... different times of course) but still i hate to say this, but can you imagine the overpopulation if every single kitten survived? i know this is incredibly cruel, but if every kitten survived, and cats werent fixed... we'd have a problem... but i suppose it's less bad considering that you hadn't gotten much time to know them.... I wonder what has happened to the mother cat of Bandito though... she hasnt beena round for 2 days... which is abnormal... usualy i can't get rid of her!.... wait then again it was raining a lot lately... its too bad about the kittens though.

@ Cody: Good luck on your book by the way... (you sound as if you're just as far as I am in mine... almost done, but still not that close... anyway, hope you get it published soon.
