Sexiest scene in a movie? in a TV show?
AnonymousThe Notebook’s rain sex scene easily. On a TV show…hmm. I don’t really know. They can’t really do sex. Or if they do, it’s generally not hot, it’s like super romantic. None come immediately to mind.
Commentarius is amazing :) you don't have to answer this, because I know it can get frustrating answering questions about updates, but do you think 26 will be a chapter that takes a long time to write? (I mean, obviously it'll take a while because your chapters are fabulously long... But you know what I mean.) Just curious - take your time, your updates are always worth the wait! :)
AnonymousActually, 26 is going to be a deliberately shorter chapter. This doesn’t necessarily mean I will get it done in a shorter time period, simply because my life doesn’t work logically like that, but hypothetically it should. =)
bee my friend is scaring me a lot she said "what if bee secretly ships snily and will finish commentarius by breaking lily and james up and engaging her in a relationship with snape even though he wasn't even introduced in the story" please tell me this is not true
AnonymousHow did she know?
You know...I've got the feeling you're going to break my heart at some point with MJ, but let me tell you in advance I love you anyway <3
Hey, Bee! I am going to ask your forgiveness in advance, because I am about to ask a personal question. Please, feel free not to answer of course! I just graduated from university, and I am not sure if I'd prefer to go into editing or get my PhD. I guess my question is did you have to begin at entry level or did you start as an editor? I think I might prefer to be an editor, but I was always under the impression that you had to work your way up. Is this true? How did you become an editor? TYVM<3
AnonymousPublishing is a very difficult industry to break into, and is very who-you-know. You actually generally don’t even start at entry-level—you start as an intern. Without internships or experience in editing, it is extremely difficult to get an entry level job. You definitely have to work your way up, but the real issue is getting into the industry in the first place. I personally started as an intern and had to work other jobs at the same time to afford life. ;)
Obviously I can’t tell you what to do, but just know it’s not simple. =)
do you remember what your very first review of commentarius was?
AnonymousI actually don’t! I mean, I can look it up if I wanted, but I don’t remember it off the top of my head. It’s been wayyy too long! ;)
I'm an English major and I noticed when taking more time-consuming creative writing classes, my inspiration and motivation to write for myself was greatly diminished. Also, I've heard that sometimes having a literary/writing themed career can take away your love of writing. So I was wondering if you've ever encountered this being an editor. Do you ever get tired of writing because of your job? Do you think it takes away from your own writing at all?
AnonymousIt definitely can, but I find that while working as an editor can cause me to want to take a break from my own writing from time to time, it also can cause me to get really excited about it. So there’s a balance there, and the two things happen generally equally as often.
Writing in college was different, though. I never really got particularly into any of my writing classes either simply because I’ve always known that my type of writing is the romance/YA sort, but in college classes you’re generally restricted to the literary fiction sort of thing. And I think that happens for a lot of people, so I wouldn’t stress too much over it.
I don't know if you do this intentionally, but often when you answer a bunch of asks they take up an exact number of pages from when you last answer asks. I.e. - the most recent answers take up exactly one page, or two pages, they don't go over. It's nice. :D
AnonymousxD
Oh, dear. Now I’m going to constantly be checking to see if I’ve done it. =P
pleeaaasseee don't tell me that you broke up with Aidan. I ship you two!
AnonymousHa, nooo. That poor boy is stuck with me for life. He’s practically a hostage.
Woahhhhh, when you google Unknowable Room, Commentarius comes up under the first result! Feel accomplished, Bee! :D

Methinks James getting his hand smashed the day before the quidditch match is too coincidental. I'm surprised no one has thought about this yet. Or maybe I'm just paranoid and overly suspicious. Bring on the spoiler gif! :D
AnonymousI won’t even spoiler gif you. Though it wasn’t a fortunate incident, there was nothing sketchy behind it. =)
