Opening the heavy glass door, Butler walks into the dark FanGathering Headquarters and scans the room looking for signs of trouble before allowing Artemis to come in.
“Hmm…Because it is one in the morning, no one should be in here besides a few weak security personnel,” Butler thinks to himself as he waves for Artemis to come in.
Catching up to Butler, Artemis whispers, “The Site Team’s newest newsletter is on the tenth floor. I heard this month’s issue will have a FanFiction theme filled with a plethora of articles and awards. Let’s hurry and steal it before one of the moderators comes to work!”
Oh yay! Another Haven Herald! Wow, the major changes in this one really make it better. I liked the is your character a mary sue test thingy. Hmm… the comics won’t show, but I think thats my computer’s problem. Anyhoo, Congrats to everyone who won. 🙂
Great job everyone who worked on this edition of the Haven Herald! It was once again, totally awesome!
No, it’s not your computer… The server where I uploaded that comic
collapsed early today… That comic was working last night! I’ll fix it
as soon as possible [which is a few hours since I am in school right
now].
And thanks for pointing it out. Otherwise, I may not have noticed! XD
Awesome issue! But I can’t see the comic… Congratulations to HollyShort9 for being member of the month! Congratulations to holly_s for being newbie of the Month! Congratulations to PhoenixRSA for winning the contest! And congratulations to everyone who won an award!

Awesome job to people who aren’t me!
And congrats Elseworld winners. 😀 Your stories rock!
I loved the intro to the HH! Keep it up!
I can’t see the comics! TT
Hey guys! Great issue. Love the changes! Sorry I haven’t been on in forever. Very busy. Too busy to write full sentences.
EXTREME CONGRATS EVERYONE WHO WON THE FANFICTION CONTEST! I ran out of time to write mine. I wouldn’t have won anything anyway. Those are way better than mine ever would be!
Shoot, Opal, you made my Trance character sound like a total Mary Sue! 44 points, at least. Made me completely abandon my Life of Lies story, too. *rushes to the Word Processor and makes major changes to character.* Damn you! Joking, joking. Thanks for pointing out the flaws.

Nice! I really liked the “Mary-Sue” character guide; man I catch myself doing that. -hand/forehead- Also, the comic… well that was just hilarious. Poor Arty…
Hey there,Thank you for mentioning Rosy and me on your brilliant blog. Fanfiction is a great way to start writing. I’m guessing some of your readers are younger than me (my daughter is 20) and for writers of all ages, fanfiction is an excellent way to learn writing skills and to share your work with a (hopefully) willing audience.I used to write stories when I was at junior school but stopped until I was 42 – when North & South came on TV and inspired me and a lot of other people. My one piece of writing advice? DON’T wait until you are that old to start writing! Forget about what other people might say and just do it. You never know where it might lead and if you enjoy writing, don’t let anyone stop you.By the way, my first book, Decent Exposure, has been optioned for a TV movie by Fox. I don’t know if it will be made – but it all stems fom writing fanfic. I’m sure Rosy will come here and tell you her view on fanfic too.Phillipa Ashley
[…] is so cool. I got mentioned (with Rosy Thornton) on the Fowl Fanfiction. I am so proud to have begun my novel career as a fanfiction author. Fanfiction mus be the biggest […]
Great article! Like Phillipa, I’m another oldie, who didn’t discover fanfic – and through it, fiction writing generally – until I was a mum. But fanfic is certainly a great training ground for writers – limbering up using someone else’s characters and settings is such an easy way to begin, and the support, friendship and feedback available on sites like this are brilliant. Then you can go on from there to develop your own original stories if you want – or just carry on sharing the characters you love with others who love them, too. Neither Phillipa nor I had written any fiction before we tried out hand at fanfic in 2005 – and now we each have our third novel ready for publication later in the year and are working on our fourth…
Absolutely LOVE the Cartoon Artemis!AS an artist I can really say Well Done.Keep it up!
Ah, cool.
I can’t believe you guys came on to our lil’ newsletter. 😀
Thanks for the advice. Your stories are pretty amazing.
That comic was HILARIOUS!!!!!!
OH NOOO!!! I entered the wrong story! Editors! Just so you know, that contest entry was the wrong one! Untimely meeting was the one that should have been entered! I REALLY should have deleted a fatal mistake! That was my worst story ever! Please remove my entry! I forfeit my title! Just PLEASE don’t let people see that one! Untimely meeting should have gotten credit!
Oh…well, I guess it wasn’t TOO bad…OMG! That Haven Herald banner is just beautiful! The comic was hilarious! I hope to see more in the future!
Yeah! NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF FANFICTION, ARTEMIS!!! Y’all should do more of these themed newsletters!
O.O
I got best fanfic…
And I haven’t even been visiting this site for the past two months…
I love you guys.
I was a smidge disappointed my story wasn’t qualified, and my brother agrees non-cannon sequals should have been accepted, but I’m glad Pheonix won. She is an acceptional writer.
Another great issue, guys! 🙂
The link to the fan art of the month is incorrect, I think. Or at least, I’m not being directed to the picture described.
No, it’s correct. That’s the picture I described.
Oh- it’s right for me now too. Either it got fixed, or my computer was just being weird that day (it does that).
It’s not your computer; I fixed it. XD Sorry for not letting you know by commenting.

the comic was really funny!!!! poor artemis… his being controlled 😛
I love the intro and the comic
*first comment dance that’s not on fanfiction* I ♥ the comic! My fav part! I also liked the Mary Sue and Gary Stu test thingamigig. That helps a lot! Comic rocks. ‘ with fanfiction, we basicly own your soul, Artemis.’ Hee-Hee! PS: How do you become one of the Haven Herald team? It sounds like a great job! Excellent everybody who helped make this! It’s awesome.
ah. wha?
It was dark when I woke. This is a ray of susnhine.
That saves me. Thanks for being so snsebile!
