Heck yes! Don't mess with HP, Stephanie...lol.

[darsynia.livejournal.com]

YES! Oh, I LOVE that. LOVE. Hmm, and my icon is frighteningly apropos.

[gaminette.livejournal.com]

HA! Them sparklies don't impress. :-PPPPP

Is it bad that I want to go pre order Beedle, even though I hadn't heard of it until today, just to keep it head of Twilight?

[kudzita.livejournal.com]

OMG ME TOO.

[akathorne.livejournal.com]

Yeeeeesssss. It made my day, it did.

Edward is still the SPARKLIEST, though.

It says "Updated Hourly." So is that just a testament to the last hour (which would be no surprise at all) or total pre-orders for all time (which would be delicious schadenfreude)?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Oh, that's the current number of pre-orders they have on the system. Obviously, once a book ships, it's not on there anymore. Hell, *I* held #1 for a day or so and I only sold 5000 copies.

Still, it's impressive that Beedle could have more pre-orders on the entire system than a book that's been on there for months and is coming out tomorrow (as in, anyone who wants to pre-order, has).

And we're surprised? XD

HAAAAA!!

[edenlass.livejournal.com]

LOVE IT!

[shocolate.livejournal.com]

In the UK it's fourth (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/bestsellers/books/ref=pd_dp_ts_b_1)...

This makes me happy.

[blinkliz.livejournal.com]

Fuck yeah, I prefer Chinese food to sappy fic, too. I HEAR YOU, BRITS.

[poinsley.livejournal.com]

How much do you want to bet that, after all the HP comparisons, JK picked the pre order date on purpose? ;)

[glenvorian.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't surprise me!

*laughs*

[lberghol.livejournal.com]

And once again, all was right with the world...

[rosetapestry.livejournal.com]

I do feel better, now that you mention it.

[casirafics.livejournal.com]

*craving the collector's edition something fierce*

[allie-andromeda.livejournal.com]

*nods sadly* I just keep looking at it, and a small voice inside cries, "Waaaannntt..."

[4492.livejournal.com]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! That is pure justice there!

[elvensapphire.livejournal.com]

I DANCE FOR JOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angelene.livejournal.com]

Wait... they're... making available a hardcore, I mean, hardcover version of the Beedle Bard book that is practically a replica of the original that sold for a gajillion dollars (allright, not quite) to Amazon.com itself months ago? And it's up for... $100? Most importantly, how is it that I'm ever slightly tempted to say um actually buy it? (Note: I have NOT read DH yet, therefore I don't even have the slightest clue as what this book should be about nor I'm aware of its importance in canon or whatsoever). I... guess... I... well... eeeeek.

[cassildra.livejournal.com]

I don't know what it's about either; I haven't even heard of it before right now.

Although, knowing my mother, once she catches wind of it, she'll lust after it something fierce...

[elendiari22.livejournal.com]

Love it. So much love.

[allie-andromeda.livejournal.com]

El, I want the collector's edition so badly!

[draconifers.livejournal.com]

Hahaha YES!

[skyblade.livejournal.com]

So right now Meyer is blowing into a box of gold kleenex, distraught Rowling is able to buy herself a box of platinum ones?

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Pretty much, yup.

[roseredhoofbeat.livejournal.com]

I'm confused. Why is this special? Nothing will ever trump HP. Not for a looong time. The only people who thought otherwise were the same kind of people who think it's nice to ask a 21 year old kid what kind of underwear he's got on.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Well, partly this is just me pointing out that Beedle was announced and went on pre-order today, period. The other part is me laughing at the people running around saying, "Twilight is bigger than Harry Potter!" Um, no.

[aka-paloma.livejournal.com]

Ah, JKR showing wannabe Stephenie Meyer HOW IT'S DONE.

Is that a whiff of tasty, tasty Schadenfreude pie I'm smelling?

[elizardbits.livejournal.com]

Oh man. Now I really want to see Watchmen overtake it as well, for a truly fulfilling fandom experience.

[runa27.livejournal.com]

Me too!

Also: ICON LOVE. Have you seen Shinga's other comics, too? Or her Twilight parody over on her LJ? They're all kinds of awesome. XD

[hana-ginkawa.livejournal.com]

That makes me giggle. XD
