Journal
While poking around at the dig in Malia, I had an idea, or rather, thought about an idea I've had for quite some time. I would like to update my grandfather's book, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and maybe even compile another of a similar nature. I've been told it is a good idea by a dear friend, so I thought I'd venture forth.

While I have tons of datum, I want to bring in as much information as possible, so anyone with information to contribute on any species of magical creature, please feel free to contact me, and we can talk and compare notes and research.

Anyone interested? You will be credited, of course!

	I have an assortment of knowledge about dragons, some species more than others. I could also point you at some of my published research. I'd be happy to talk to you at a time that works for us both. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I'd love to meet up and talk shop. When would be good for you? I should be back in the country sometime tomorrow, so any time after that afternoon of work would work, I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I keep weird hours because of the club, but I'm free Wednesday afternoon/evening, and then between about midday and 8pm Thursday-Sunday. Mondays and Tuesdays are my weekend-equivalent so any time after noon works. Any of that work for you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wednesday evening is good, or after about 5pm Thurs-Sat. I'm off Sundays and open late on Mondays, except by owl appointment, but I can also arrange coverage should none of that work out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wednesday evening works for me. Any preference on where to meet? I can bring my notes to wherever, or you're welcome at my flat, although I make no promises the kitten will behave himself ~~or Romi~~ or that my flatmate will be out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No preference here, really, whatever works best for you. I'm willing to buy you a pint for your trouble if you want, or we can meet at your place if you don't want to run your notes about. Cats don't bother me -- if you ever met my monster cat, you'd see why. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Pint is a magical word. Wednesday is my usual day to do the books. Tends to make me want to head for the pub anyway. Does 7 work for you? Earlier or later is also fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Wonderful. 7 should be just fine. If something changes before then, I'll owl. I'll see you then! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I have loads and loads of that kind of stuff at home, if you want to take a look at my notes. I know that I have a lot of things on creatures that some don't believe in, but I still have lots of things on others as well. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	outofthewild 2014-09-23 09:55 pm UTC (link)
	Wonderful. We'll have to talk shop, and I don't mind seeing everything, just to sort it all out. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loonacy 2014-09-24 01:45 am UTC (link)
	You'll have to come by my house then. I'm afraid my papers and collections is quite extensive. It's hard to bring to other people. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	outofthewild 2014-09-24 01:53 am UTC (link)
	Not a problem. I doubt I could move all my research either. Perhaps sometime later this week? Or even next week. There's no rush. It's just a project I've wanted to work on for a long time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	loonacy 2014-09-24 02:02 am UTC (link)
	Sure, I'm always around. Any time you want. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	You know this is a vacation, right? A holiday? With no working? And you do know that your dear friend is lounging in the bathtub... all alone... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I know! I wanted to write it down while I was thinking on it. Coming! I am THERE. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ooooh I like this idea! My great-great-great grandmother made all these detailed sketches of magical South American wildlife from her childhood? They're either at the Manor, at Rosethorn Hall, or in Bohun with my great aunt. I'll find them for you if you like? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	outofthewild 2014-09-24 09:57 pm UTC (link)
	Thank you! It's been in my head for quite a while. I'd love to go through there and see what you have, and use some of them, if you wouldn't mind. (Reply to this) (Parent)
