Loading ...Artemis arrived at the Little Hearts Orphanage at about 3 ‘clock. He went directly to the headmasters office without even stopping to look at the beautiful scenery. After about 10 minuted of waiting, the headmaster told them to come into his office. There were several expensive looking things on the shelves and walls. Artemis was unimmpressed. Artemis went straight to business. “I understand that you have a boy by the name of Neville staying here at the orphanage.” said Artemis. ”Is this true?” The headmaster shook his head. “He was adopted a few days ago. I forget the name of the people who adopted him. Would you like me to go check?” “Sure.” said Artemis. The headmaster left the room, and came back several minutes later with some important-looking papers in his hand.

January 15th, 2008 at 1:38 pm
haha, a and e sticking together… nice!
January 15th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
I saw it in the ” Golden Compass” too!
January 15th, 2008 at 4:59 pm
How did I get the “a” and the “e” to stick together? I was doing a Wikipedia search for mountains in Iceland. When I saw Öræfajökull, I copied and pasted it onto the story panel! I’m glad you liked it!
January 15th, 2008 at 7:48 pm
LOL- didn’t thik he’d like skiing! Not sure how you could get the “a” and “e” to stick together. Anyway I like the e-mail idea (instead of IM- I’ve seen loads of them now). The plot is also orginal so update soon!
January 15th, 2008 at 11:00 pm

Hooray! I like it but not enough has changed for me to really criticize, rate,or compliment. Still here tho so I guess that means your story is good enough! I hope tho they go 2 Mt. Öræfajökull. soon!
January 16th, 2008 at 2:56 am
I really like it so far! Keep it up!

January 18th, 2008 at 4:40 pm
Jelly- Don’t worry, I will do bibliography at the end. Why is it cold?
You’ll just have to wait and see…
Olive- Yes, it took a LOT of research. All these places are real. Mt. Öræfajökull is real and I will add more REAL places later! I might even add a pic of Mt. Öræfajökull!
Thanks for reading! I will update soon!

I like it very much. It has a good layout and a great storyline. No grammar mistakes that I can see. But I think that this story is really going somewhere!

Arty wants a hotel?Y? can’t he just sleep in a tent like a normal person?
January 19th, 2008 at 10:40 pm
lol… normal people sleep in tents! no, lots of people sleep in hotels! (I’m scared of bugs climbing on me while I’m Sleeping!)
January 19th, 2008 at 10:50 pm
they don’t climb on you if you close the screen!
January 19th, 2008 at 11:09 pm
yeah….. but sleeping in the wild ,…. I always wanted to do that…. but then again…….I want to live in a place ( or sleep in a place ) WHERE THERE ARE NO BUGS AT ALL! (At least no bugs for another 5 million miles or so )
January 19th, 2008 at 11:27 pm
impossible. there are little tiny bugs in everyones bed in their pillow and mattress they are so small they fit through the threads holding it together.
January 20th, 2008 at 12:00 am
I noe… THAT CREEPS ME OUT! I SAW IT ON THE NEWS , I WENT TO MY DAD AND ASKED FOR A NEW BED …. TOO BAD,…. MY BROTHER GOT ONE AND SINCE I HAD JUST GOTTEN AN IPOD I COULDNT GET A NEW BED!
January 20th, 2008 at 12:29 am
æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ æ
There is a new type of sheet that keeps them ou. I saw it in an add.
January 20th, 2008 at 12:31 am
I WANT THAT SHEET then , I’ll get it! YOU’LL SEE!
January 20th, 2008 at 12:38 am
There is a sheet that keeps bugs out!? Tell me about it! I might use it in my story!
January 20th, 2008 at 12:57 am
OK, you see the other blackets have to large of holes that let the little bedbugs come through invest you, your clothes, and anything they come in contact with. so the people invented a sheet that you ca put over you mattress and pillows to keep them out, the threads are so tight, when you spill something on it it falls right off with no trace of it every being there, not even a wet spot!
January 20th, 2008 at 12:59 am
Sweet! They must be really expensive though. But nothing Artemis can’t afford! I’m deviding an idea of how to put that in my story right now!
January 20th, 2008 at 1:07 am
cool!
January 20th, 2008 at 3:50 am
whats it called ( the bedsheet? )
January 20th, 2008 at 6:44 pm
I probably won’t use the anti-bug blankets until later. I might end up having to go camping. Because I’ve been doing some research, and there appear to be no hotels anywhere around Mt. Öræfajökull.
January 20th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
wow……………. poor arty….
January 20th, 2008 at 8:55 pm
luv the up8
January 21st, 2008 at 12:18 am
Mahi- I don’t remember the name if you go 2 google and type in bug risitent bedsheet u might find it.
I luv the upd8 but just for future refrences: You spelled Myles wrong it is spelled with a “y” not an “i”

January 21st, 2008 at 12:19 am
Are you sure? Let me check…
January 21st, 2008 at 12:25 am
You’re right! I’ve updated it now!
January 21st, 2008 at 12:30 am
great! thank you!
January 21st, 2008 at 2:38 am
bug risitent bedsheet …I’ll search it! UPD8 SOON PLLZZ
January 21st, 2008 at 9:09 pm
How far into the future is this because Myles and Beckett sound older then 3.
January 21st, 2008 at 9:13 pm
well they must be like 3 because in preschool you learn to read and one of them couldn’t read yet making that child either stupid or three.
January 22nd, 2008 at 4:42 pm
I didn’t learn to read until Kindergarten! Myles and Beckett aren’t genii like Artemis. So they’re about 6 years old.
Oh! And if anyone sees me spell Myles M-I-L-E-S, please point it out. I keep forgetting it isn’t spelled like that! 
January 22nd, 2008 at 5:26 pm
UPDATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:15 pm
GR8 UPDATE! , wait , I bet artemis will say”NO HOTEL?FINE THEN!I’ll get one built.”
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
I thought that everyone learned to read in preschool!
oh well good update! Maybe Arty will build a super-tent that is almost like a house!
January 22nd, 2008 at 10:51 pm
*Giggle* I’ve slept in a tent B4 and it ain’t fun!!!!!!! PLZ CONTINUE SOON!!! Anti bug sheet!!! *Cracks up*
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:01 pm
tents are cold!!! when u go camping they wake you up at the crack of dawn and then you get outside and feel all hyper my little bro thought it would approprite if we drank Fanta the OJ kind to wake up with the sun so we rode around on our baikes for an hour slurping OJ while singing stupid songs waking everyone else up! lol oooh how stupid I feel now!
January 22nd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
I have to go camping ina tent all the time. I remember once when I had to go camping when it was only 2 degrees out! That was a miserable night. Poor Arty…. It’s even colder in Iceland…
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:00 am
omg… wow that kinda sounds like fun ! Not the freezing part.
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:08 am
It is! except for the spiders and racoons around the tent banging on it for the chips on the inside1
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:29 am
I live in bear country… It’s not uncommon to hear big heavy footsteps and to see hairy shadows on the tent wall. You might even hear low growling! It’s scary!
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:38 am
BEARS AND SPIDERS?(falls out of chair.) okay , i dontmind bears , bears are okay , BUT I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE spiders! i hate all bugs!
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:42 am
I live in the foothills of the smoky mountains. WE have everything here! Everything to make a camping trip heaven on some occasions. But on others, pure hell.
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:47 am
…………..scary…..
January 23rd, 2008 at 12:50 am
Isn’t it. Artemis has to sleep in really cold temperatures. I don’t know what kind of animals live in Iceland. But I will do some research on that!
I will update soon.
January 23rd, 2008 at 1:29 am
MAYBE POLAR bears.
January 23rd, 2008 at 1:35 am
Do polar bears live in Iceland?
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:21 am
i dont noe………
January 23rd, 2008 at 3:45 am
LOL I like Artemis’s little thought at the end of the chapter. Keep it up!
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I put that thought there just to give readers an idea of what Artemis thought about all this. AND it makes his condition seem worse, seeing it all condensed into one short paragraph!
January 23rd, 2008 at 9:57 pm
lol….. again./.. poor arty.
January 24th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
UPDATED!!
January 24th, 2008 at 11:12 pm
LOL! wow , way to go out of thier way for one mesily adventure… shouldnt artemis expect this , if he knew the twins read the mail… or even if he suspects them reading it shouldnt he know that they might try this or is he too excited to think about anything else but saving holly’s life?
January 24th, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Whatever works.
January 25th, 2008 at 12:39 am
*fourth comment dance*
WOW! loving it! I KNOW polar bears don’t leave in Iceland (u should make it Greenland, its colder!) But I am positive wolves and Coyotes do! update soon!!!! :l
January 25th, 2008 at 6:13 pm
Greenland is a ice desert. Hardly any people live there. Iceland is better.
January 26th, 2008 at 10:01 pm
UPDATE!
January 26th, 2008 at 10:20 pm
how was I 2 know? I don’t like resaerching!!
January 26th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
Do you like the update?
January 26th, 2008 at 10:33 pm
YES!!!
January 26th, 2008 at 10:36 pm
Good. *Sighs with relief* I was afraid that nobody would like it…
January 27th, 2008 at 4:51 am
LOL I love Myles and Beckett’s last line. Keep it up!
January 27th, 2008 at 5:01 am
lol , me too “that wasn’t suppose to happen” that was funny , I LUV IT! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
January 31st, 2008 at 2:37 am
I’m sorry I haven’t updated in a while. I’ve had a lot of things to do lately.
February 9th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
UPDATED!!!!!!!!!
Sorry that I haven’t been on in a long time. But I’m back now!
Jelly- Sorry, but I won’t be able to use those anti-bug blankets. I happened to overlook a hotel in the area, and now they won’t be going camping…
February 9th, 2008 at 9:45 pm
That was a small update but still awesome!
February 10th, 2008 at 1:11 am
Thanks, Olive. Most of my updates are probably going to be small.
February 10th, 2008 at 5:22 am
Actully , they could have the anti-bug bed sheets for the hotel bed…. lol, I love the small update, lol, I hope they find Holly.
February 11th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
They could be… But that would hardly be worth mentioning…
February 14th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
UPDATE!!!! To Chapter 6!!!!
February 15th, 2008 at 2:21 am
OHHHH a twist! =D
February 18th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
What!? A twist!? Where!?
February 21st, 2008 at 6:37 pm
UPDATE!!!!!
February 21st, 2008 at 10:31 pm
I love how much background info you had about the other family. You definitly didn’t leave any blank spaces in the description, which was completly awesome for a reader! Keep up the good work.
February 22nd, 2008 at 2:02 am
Lol! For some reason this cracks me up!
Also, in Re: It’s cold,
It’s “My family and I”. Please fix. Otherwise, It’s really cool! Awsome!
February 23rd, 2008 at 5:13 pm
FYI: Iceland is very warm, it has no ice. It was named that way by the Romans so that other people would THINK that its cold and nobody would steel their precious land. GREENLAND is the cold one, as it was also named by the Romans so that people would go THERE instead of Iceland.
February 23rd, 2008 at 5:17 pm
If it’s wrong, BLAME MY S.S. TEACHER!
February 23rd, 2008 at 8:57 pm
LOL, no you’re right, Greenland is colder but Iceland isn’t the warmest place on earth either, it is also cold, but some parts of it is green.Yeah, they should really switch those names now right?
February 24th, 2008 at 4:13 am
OH YEAH, fogot to mention in my last comment, love the update!
February 24th, 2008 at 6:57 am
*Crashes through the door* Ahhhhh!!!! BEAR!!! zomg!!!! I LOVVVVVVEDDDDDDD the UPDATE!!!!!!!
February 24th, 2008 at 9:15 pm
hmmm…. y rnt they looking 4 Holly instead of Neville? it doesn’t make enough sense for me 2 decide wut 2 rate it. oh well still like it!
February 28th, 2008 at 3:37 pm
They’re looking for Neville because his dad was the one that broke into their hotel room. They suspect that Nevilles dad has something to do with the Holly Case. But his dad was killed in a plane accident 10 years ago, so they need to find Neville to question him about his father. Even though he was only about two when his dad died. Let me tell you now, Neville is going to be a main character in this book. I took a quiz that rates OCs and Neville was rated 26! That’s an almost perfect number! So I hope that answers some questions of yours. Tell me if you have any more!
February 28th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Oh! And another reason: They already looked for Holly and found no trace of her. But don’t worry, they’ll definitely come back for her later!
P.S. Celebrate! This is the 103rd comment for Artemis and the World of Snow!
March 1st, 2008 at 4:38 am
lol wow, this story is a bog hiit and only with 6 chapters lol.Keep on writting I’m waiting.
March 1st, 2008 at 4:51 pm
(small) UPDATE!!!!!!!
March 1st, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Okay, it was very small. It was still excellent though! You spelt done wrong though. Just thought you should know that.
March 1st, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Whoops! You’re right! I’ve fixed that now. Thanks for pointing that out!
March 6th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
A long awaited UPDATE!!!
March 7th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
That was a very small update, but very sweet!
March 7th, 2008 at 11:55 pm
Erm…how does this relate with the plot?
March 8th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Remember Neville? It was from his point of view. You’ll see how that affects Artemis in the next chapter.
March 8th, 2008 at 6:17 pm
Symojen is right, Iceland has only ice on the northern tip, and it’s not so much. It’s really warm; sometimes reaching 100 degrees southern in the fall. That’s okay!
I really like the story so far! Please continue.
March 8th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Wait lemme’ search Iceland … no, no! This is really confusing but just listen. Europe told Rome that this penninsula (Iceland - wasn’t called Iceland back then; was a penninsula) was full of lush vegetation and stuff like that because they thought it was. So the Romans tried to get there and start a new civilization there. They ACTUALLY ended up in what is now greenland. Iceland was infact very warm back then, and Greenland was very cold. They became angry because Rome thought Europe had lied to them to get them out. So, they named greenland Greenland so that they could get rid of the Europeans! When they found Iceland on their way back, they named it Iceland so the Europeans wouldn’t go there. OVER TIME GREENLAND BECAME WARMER AND ICELAND BECAME COLDER.
March 8th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Oooh! Now I get it! So Europe made a mistake, Rome mistook it. They went to Greenland by accident and got mad, then tricked Europe to get revenge. See what revenge can do? It can get people confused about what actually happened and may just start a war.
March 9th, 2008 at 5:07 pm
Sweet, Simetra16! I didn’t know that!
March 22nd, 2008 at 6:21 am
WOW, I really like it! Has a unique storyline, and the title is nice as well! Update soon!
March 22nd, 2008 at 5:33 pm
UPDATE!!!
March 22nd, 2008 at 10:24 pm
LOVE UR UPDATE! I love this story its zawesum, also i DID SOME RESEARCH ON ICELAND! Did you know it was number 1 on the HDI ranking list…. that must mean its and awesum place to live in……
March 25th, 2008 at 11:59 pm
Really good story!
May 2nd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Sorry I haven’t been updating. I’ve been VERY VER VERY busy recently. That’s because I started my own forum: http://writersclubforum.lightbb.com/ , and I’ve been REALLY busy with it.
May 9th, 2008 at 4:42 am
Ummm… Can u plz update?
May 10th, 2008 at 3:04 am
Keep going! Let someone freeze in Iceland! [As long it isn’t Artemis, Holly, Butler, Foaly, or Root] You know what? Let Grub freeze to death! Who needs him?
