Tracey comes to visit (Part 1)



Hi everyone, here is the story I promised:
In this story Willow's cousin Tracey is coming to visit. She is from "Reality" a land without magic, and Willow lives in a land where stories are real... and no one from reality is supposed to know that. I was partly inspired by the captions from this post 

Here's the story:

(Note- I didn't have the time to make a computer room for my dolls or had a doll computer handy so instead I just took pictures of willow as if she were looking at a computer even though you don't see it.)



Willow sat in the library, in the computer room (which was in fact a very small room with a computer). She hardly saw anyone in the room there, and if she did, it was because they were looking at “Fan Fictions” that were for some reason written about them. She had heard that authors from “Reality” had written these stories, but she had gotten some very weird responses when she had tried to find out about them. Willow was in the computer room, because her cousin Tracey (who lived in the land called “Reality”) and other family members sent her what are called “emails” and not hand written letters like everyone else did…. in fact Willow thought she was the only person who really knew how to use a “computer.” 
Willow was staring at the message Tracey had sent her: 

Dear Willow, 
it is wonderful to hear from you, and your friends Hermione, Annabeth, and Louis. I am doing well. How about you?





Willow smiled, she was definitely excited to tell Tracey what Hermione, Annabeth, and Legolas had done recently (Willow hadn’t told her cousin that Louis’ real name was Legolas, so Tracey wouldn't know he was the actual character from Lord of the Rings). Willow hadn’t mentioned Tauriel, who was one of her best friends, because she couldn’t think of a good code-name yet that sounded like Tauriel’s real name. 
Willow continued reading: 

Anyway I thought it would be a good time to visit you, after all I haven’t seen you in a very long time. And I have longed to see you in person rather than talking through email. I will be coming on the 20th. 

Love your cousin, 

-Tracey 
Willow didn’t know what to do, she was sure Tracey would find out everything, after all Tracey wrote fan fictions…And loved many different stories. and would probably find out that all the stories were real…She sighed


, suddenly the door opened and in walked Hermione. At first Willow didn’t recognize her because of the yellow ball gown she was wearing, and the fact that her hair was nicely curled and brushed, unlike how it usually was. She was carrying a stack of books, books Willow assumed were for school. 


“Hermione is that you? I almost mistook you for Belle!” said Willow turning around.
“Yes,” answered Hermione. “I know! People have been mistaking me for Belle all day!”
Willow and Hermione stared at each other for a moment…Finally Willow spoke: 
“Why are you wearing a ball gown?” 
Hermione sighed… then said: 



“Aphrodite kind of replaced all my clothes in my wardrobe with ball gowns…and the only comfortable one I could find was from the Hogwart’s Ball.” 



She pointed to the yellow gown she was wearing. “But, I was wondering if you were alright?" Hermione asked Willow. "You have been in here for a couple hours.”



Willow sighed and shook her head. 

“No I am not alright…” Willow said. “Tracey is coming to visit, and you see she can’t because she’s from ‘Reality’ and no one from Reality is allowed to come here.”



we're doomed!

                          
 Then Willow burst into sobs of “We’re doomed, I’m doomed!!! Tracey can’t visit, but I wish she could!”


                                       

Finally Willow stopped sobbing, and let go of Hermione. “Y-you understand right?” half-sobbed Willow 
Hermione nodded… There was a long silence in the room, neither Willow nor Hermione spoke but finally Hermione broke the silence, 



“I may have solution…And it may just work…” 

            to be continued…
                           ---------------------------------------

                  I hope you enjoyed the story. I can't wait to write the next part.

         What do you think Hermione's plan is? And do you think it will work? 


        Love, 
       -Quinley

Doll Photography #2

Hi everyone,
I just finished writing part 1 of a photo story, but I first need to edit it before I post it... (It will be posted in my next post) but in the meantime I have some doll photos I would like to share with you.

                                          Here they are: 


                                        
When I took this photo, I had the song 
The Star of the County Down 
going through my head. 



I like how this picture of Queen Miranda turned out. 

I like how the lighting looks in this photo of Molly.
I tried to make it look like Seven of Nine was walking or
running in this photo, and I think I succeeded. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Hope you enjoyed the post. 
Which photo is your favorite? And have you ever taken photos of your dolls? 

Love, 
Quinley

Doll photography 1#

I have been trying to get into the habit of taking photos of my dolls everyday...
These posts will be very similar to the drawing posts I have on my writing blog, though I will still do photo shoots and photo stories.

Here are some of the photos I took:


                                 A photo I took of Cerise's shoes...
                                I have to say it was fun to take.



                                 

                                          A photo of Tracey, it turned out well...
                                        And the lighting in the background is pretty.
This photo of Belle for some reason never got into
the photo shoot  even though it was one of my favorite
photos I have taken of her.


                                          I think this photo of Tauriel turned out well...

                                           I like the angle of this photo.





A photo of Blondie's ring... (Unfortunately, it doesn't make the wearer of it invisible...
on the other hand if it did that, then I would be losing my dolls all over the place because I couldn't see them.)



A photo of Hera... 
I like her pose in this photo. 

------------------------------------------

Which photo is your favorite? 

Love,

Tale as old as time (a photo shoot)


Hi everyone, 
I had been working on several other draft posts (One of which is a photo story)
before deciding to post this one. Anyway I thought it was 
a good time to do a photo shoot...

Here are the Photos: 

I like this picture of Belle... 
I like how the lighting turned out. 







This picture is one of the best photos I have taken 
of the beast. 


This one is one of my favorite pictures. 

The lighting in this photo wasn't as good. But I like 
the pose of the dolls. 


This one shows a good angle of both Belle and The Beast. 

I like the angle of this picture.
Though I didn't get her dress in the picture fully, 
I can imagine her spinning around in it. 
----------------------------------------

Hope you liked the photo shoot..I enjoyed taking the photos!:) 

Which Photo is your favorite? And do you have a favorite song from Beauty and The Beast? 

Love, 

Quinley

Update: what's happening in this Picture extended voting







Hi everyone, I am finally back. I was unable to post for a few days. And now I am going back to doll photo shoots and photo story posts... But anyway, for What's Happening In This Picture? I decided I should extend the voting for it. I forget how many days I gave to vote (5 days? or less) but it didn't look like many people were able to vote and the poll closed very quickly. So I decided I should extended the voting...
the new date when the poll closes will be:

August 20th 

 It will give more time for people to vote then the last close time I gave.

Anyway...

My dolls will probably also make some posts too (if they have the time) so keep a eye out for a post from them.

What's happening in this picture? (favorite captions and voting)







Hi everyone, it is finally Friday which means I will choose my favorite captions from the What's Happening In This Picture(also thank you for the amazing captions)

Anyway here are a few of my favorites:

From Anonymous:
"My ears hurt!" said Legolas. 
"Well, if you didn't want people tugging on your ears all night, you should have gone as something other than an elf!" said Hermione. 
"At least they just wanted to know how you got your ear tips to stay on. Everyone kept asking me about my mom and whether or not Percy was coming..." said Annabeth.
"I know how that feels, whenever I wear my Gryffindor robes, everyone wants to know where Harry is or if I can make something levitate!" said Hermione.
"Well, you looked beautiful tonight as Belle!" said Annabeth. "But Legolas, you really need to remember that you're not in Middle Earth anymore. It was a party and it was supposed to be fun. You really scared that boy in the Orc costume, when you shot the arrow across the room. You scared me, too! I'm glad Hermione brought her wand and froze the arrow in mid-air!"
"And I'm glad everyone thought it was just an illusion," said Hermione, "I don't like having to do magic in front of a bunch of muggles!"


From Anonymous (2): 

"It's not fair!" Hermione cried. "The last time I dressed in my Gryffindor robes there were ten other Hermione Grangers at the costume party and I was given advice about how to make my costume more realistic. How could you have been the only Legolas and Annabeth? And Legolas, how could you have won the prize for the best costume??

From Anonymous (3) 

"Listen Legolas, we could be better than any group of super heroes!" said Hermione with determination. "With my books and magic, your bow and Elf magic, and Annabeth's demigod powers we could be a force for good! But first I think I should get out of this ball gown!!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can vote until July 17th then the winning caption will be chosen

You can either comment with who's caption you liked best or vote on the sidebar
