Oh Chloe, Thats bad luck for you and us, I was looking forward to finding out if Clare was going to survive :(

At least the beginning is archived, so you haven't lost everything, and I'm sure you can remember what you wrote, it is annoying when things go wrong though.

Chloe!!! Please tell me I misunderstood, and you didn't just say you weren't carrying on with Sisters??!!
You can't do that, we need to know if Clare's okay!!

I totally agree!  Please don't not post more!  You can't leave us with a cliffhanger like that!

I don't mean i wont finish it i mean depending how it goes i might send it to the fiction page rather than take up room on the CBB, but if anyone has better suggestions i'll consider them

but for the moment it's too depressing to write any of Sister's, as Xan collapased/fitted again tonight and got taken to hospital (again, she so wont be happy) and no one is telling me anything and it might mean cancelling my trip to see her so she can recover properley:(

Sorry to hear about Xan, Chloe - I'm sure she'll be pleased to see you.

*Big hug!*

Chloe, I'm sorry that Xanthe has been ill again, and I really hope she's better soon and that you can get to see her, and you're right, I did get confused - I can't even manage to read two drabbles, never mind write them.

Well Xan back in halls and i should (fingers-crossed still be going to visit her tommorrw).
Here's the next bit i remembered at about four this morning but couldn't be bothered to get up and post it...

The letter had come from an old friend of Margot’s, formally Emerance Hope a young firebrand of the chalet school, now Mrs. Eben Jones, with four children of her own.  

Dear Margot,
     How are you darling, I know we’ve never been brilliant with our correspondence but Ebbs took the children away for the weekend as I still haven’t shaken off my cold, he does worry so.  So I managed to find time to get on top of every thing and find myself sitting in the garden watching the most beautiful sunrise.
It occurred to me your decision making time about whether you would join the order or not would soon be over and I just couldn’t risk not seeing you again, especially as your name’s sake keeps asking when Auntie Margot’s coming to stay again.  That’s the main reason for writing really, Papa’s going to England on business again and I want you to come back out with him if only seen you once since our summer together and it may be the last time I have the chance to see you as I doubt I’ll be able to fly in three months time and I would little Mary to see you again she was so little when you last visited, but to did create a bit impact, as I had no doubt you would, or you wouldn’t be my Margot any more.
Papa will fly to England on the 26th and be coming home on around the 30th, he can let you know for sure when he’s over if you’re coming, it’s our plane so all you’ll need is some spending money.  Though I wont be up for my shopping, some of my crowd would be happy to see you, I could name a few particular people who constantly ask after you.  I had offered to give them your address but became all shy, and I told them you had ideas about entering the order, but have agreed it would be nice to see you at least one more time before you join, as if you do goodness knows the next chance we will get to see each other.

From here the letter had wandered onto various other things.  Margot was so happy for her, Emmy was happy, had her family and she could already see her name sake having similar characteristics to her herself and her own mother from their schools days.  If the chalet school had thought Emerance Hope was bad, how would they ever cope with a girl with the traits of two of the schools worse mischief makers they had had.

As my gran would say: "Put her in the dustin bin adn sit on the lid", but i don't think Xan would love me for that response.

The next bit...

In Margot’s time at the chalet school she had seen the creation of two chapels for the girls.  It was here in Lady of the Snows where Margot sought sanctuary.  As she walked towards the chapel she stopped to watch the girls playing, standing organising them all was Ally McKeer the games pree, a position Margot herself had held.  
“I do miss that, back then I knew where we all stood and what direction we worked towards, but it did help most, I wasn’t as prepared as the rest Ricki with her love of antics, Len with teaching and Reg, Con with her writing, I guess in some ways I’m very much the youngest triplet”
Before entering Margot heard the door opening and hid, she felt foolish, but she had come to seek privacy, Hilda Annersley glance caught sight of the youngest Maynard triplet, but realised she didn’t want to be disturbed so walked on.  Entering Margot stared around this was a place to be proud of so many members of the school past and present had donated towards the chapels creation, she walked down one side of chapel, raising her hand, brushing it along the wall and genuflected.  She knelt down, bowing her head redy golden curls deep in prayer.  
Meanwhile leaving Freudesheim, Joey, Jack and Con made their way to Len’s home.
“Mamma are you sure we need to go this early I needed to finish pro-reading the chapter today in order to get it off to the publishers on time?”
“Con, leave it for a while and finish when you come back, taking a break will give you time and let you see things more clearly” Joey replied, Con turned a gave her father an appealing look,
“Trust your mother on this darling, she’s the writer not me” Jack was unsure what was driving his wife to reach Len’s so quickly, she had been impatient since he had arrived home, this was the only way she was going to settle, “anyway it’ll give you a longer time with niece and nephew’s, and I can be a typical grandpa and sit with my pipe by the fire”
“Oh no my lad, we’re all talking and that means no pipe!  I want your input and that’ll not mean a few nods of the head and one word answers” with which Joey quickened the pace from a gentle stroll to quick march.

Lovely, Chloe.

BTW, everyone please join in a group get well for Xanthe. We will all will her better, how about tomorrow at 3:00pm?

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Vikki on Oct 25th, 2003, 9:03pm
That's a good idea Jennie! Do you mean we should all e-mail her or something, or just think about her being well at that time?

Question that i couldn't be bothered to create a new topic for adn can link to Vikki and Esmeraldas earlier comments:

What do people want me to do about Sister's at the CS? (As still can't decide)
Please post replies below or IM me.
Thanks

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Vikki on Oct 28th, 2003, 1:31am
Please carry on with it Chloe!!!!

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Lesley on Oct 28th, 2003, 6:30am
Yes Chloe - i love both of your stories - wouldn't want either to stop!

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Chloe on Oct 28th, 2003, 11:04am
Lesley i have carried on with both you may just have missed Vikki's smuggness.

But should i just wait until i finish and send it into the fiction page as it stands it's 16,421 words (1,595 not seen by anyone except Vikki) and still not all that near finished as my plot bunnys gone off in all sorts of directions i didn't imagine ;)

*very aware of not wanting to fill up space unless necessary*

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Lesley on Oct 29th, 2003, 5:49pm
Chloe - glad you are continuing both - you could post Sisters to the fiction board as a Work In Progress (WIP) and then add to it each time you finished a chapter. :)

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Chloe on Oct 29th, 2003, 6:23pm
Yeah but i don't really write in chapters i write sudden ideas down and then post  

i have actually written more of what the future holds but as my friend wont give me back my notebook until i give her some information it must wait, she'll get bored in a week or two (i hope :-/)

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Vikki on Oct 29th, 2003, 11:04pm

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Chloe on Oct 29th, 2003, 11:06pm

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Vikki on Oct 29th, 2003, 11:17pm
;DI believe Xan usually uses it in description of you, does she not? :P ;)

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Chloe on Oct 29th, 2003, 11:21pm

but she means it affectionatly  ;) (or so she asures me :-/)

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Vikki on Oct 29th, 2003, 11:25pm
I'm sure she would never lie to you Chloe!!

Title: Re: What the future holds (continued)
Post by Chloe on Oct 29th, 2003, 11:28pm
Oh course not she loves her little sister too much and lying would be very un-chaletian like ;)
*note xan corrects my grammar more than Miss Annersley does in the books*

Post by Vikki on Oct 29th, 2003, 11:34pm
