	Jonathan Stroud 1. Queezle - Her name doesn't come from anywhere, I don't think. I just made it up! It was kind of meant to make her sound nice. I feel a bit sorry that I killed her off so fast; she is an interesting character. Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.

I hope JS writes some of it so that there will be things that weren't in the book written by him instead of Sullivan.

Did he even start work on it or did he just consider writing it? I think he briefly mentioned it in one of the Answered Questions.

Movie: Probably going to disappoint fans no matter what they do, but it'd be nice to see them try. Graphic novel . . . not so sure if they can convert bartimaeus to a graphic novel character, we'd lose the footnotes and most of the jokes. Could hopefully be allright.

Mite Posts: 1 Group: Members Member #7,856 Joined: November 5, 2009 Gender: Female	Running away from the footnotes? Heh, when I picked up the book, I looked at the footnotes and went, "Interesting, never seen footnotes in a children's book before..." and then I started to laugh. Quite loudly. As for graphic novels, well...for some stories it is the perfect medium, as the book format was the perfect medium for the Bartimaeus Trilogy. However, while we may lose many of the better jokes, we may gain a new dimension of atmosphere and character. Sullivan is a very good artist. All the same, it boils down to how they deal with the story...hopefully Mr. Stroud does have a hand in the scripts and such for it.
