Okay seeing as that I'm writing the Nathaniel/Bartimaeus ship manifesto I'm in need of some help. I've done my own research in trying to find some good fics/art and so far I've found a couple but I need some more.

Anyone care to help me a bit?

I finally decided to post an intro to this comm... I've been lurking around for awhile already. -_-; I so want an active fandom for this series!  With meta and discussions and fandom crack! *glances around hopefully* :D?

Who started you on Bartimaeus?

Well sure is dead around here...

A-anyways I'm posting in the likely event some members will be interested and humor me a bit. I've just created bartimaeusfic a community for fanfiction, drabbles etc. I'm hoping once people join we can start contests and challenges and give out banners? prizes. Any genre, pairing and rating is accepted as long as it has to do with The Bartimaeus Trilogy.

Also mods of _bartimaeus_ care to affiliate? :)

Who started you on Bartimaeus?
No one, I just accidently came across it in my bookstore and bought it because it was on sale that day. I've never regretted t - it's eventually become my favourite book

How many people have you started on Bartimaeus?
two of my friends and my teacher!

Favorite quote?
Almost every line said by Barty xD

Did you cry at the end of Ptolemy's Gate?
Yeah absolutely ;_; It's one of the saddest book scenes I've ever read ('that' scene in the last HP-book was also sad by the way ;_; but Bartmaeus was waay worse TT__TT)

Excited about the prospect of a movie?
Yes!!! I can't wait! But I'm afraid it's gonna suck.. Hope it at least gets a lot better than the 'Eragon' movie!

Greetings from Norway! :D

Who started you on Bartimaeus?
I, er, just came across it in B&N.

How many people have you started on Bartimaeus?
Deux.

Favorite quote?
Basically anything that comes out of Bartimaeus' mouth. (I'm nowhere near my books at the moment; sorry.

Did you cry at the end of Ptolemy's Gate?
I sniffled a little, and I actually shut up a little for the rest of the day...

Excited about the prospect of a movie?
Yes, but nervous at the same time. I don't want another Eragon fiasco, y'know what I mean?

Here's the fic I wrote. Beware: I wrote this years ago, so it's very melodramatic. D:

Fantasies [1/1]

HOLY SHIT. Sydney Pollack, Producer slated for the Bartimaeus movie,died last year and I had no idea!!!!!!!

www.nytimes.com/2008/05/27/movies/27pollack.html

He was known for a ton of movies - those that come to mind are The Interpreter and Cold Mountain.

Not only is this very sad, but movie sites are STILL listing him as the Producer for Bartimaeus, meaning the project is most likely dormant.  :(

 Who started you on Bartimaeus?

Nothing much as of yet, but:  Movie Info: http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/441789/Bartimaeus-Trilogy-The-Amulet-Of-Samarkand/details

Director: John Madden
Screenplay: Hossein Amini
Producer: Sydney Pollack

Seems like some serious people... they've produced some quality stuff..

Hi all,
Two things. Firstly, are there any Bartimaeus fans in this community from Michigan? That's where I live, and if you're not too far away, meeting up would be cool! And if you don't live in Michigan but still love the Trilogy, please friend me - I'd love to get to know fellow fans!


Secondly, I believe I once mentioned my Bartimaeus website. (The link is http://pentacle.nocturn-glare.net Check it out!). I'm looking for submissions of graphics (avatars, etc...), fan art, and other thiings for the fun stuff page. If you have any graphics, art, or anything else, please let me know, I"d love to add it to the site!

This did not come out half as good as I wanted it to.  >.<  A better one will come later, I hope....

Ptolemy.

Who started you on Bartimaeus?
The owner of my favorite bookshop pointed it out to me; the book flap made me think it was yet another Harry Potter rip-off.  Then I actually READ it, and... well.  It spoke for itself. :D

How many people have you started on Bartimaeus?
My mom...and my grandma.  Maybe a few others as well....

Favourite quote? PICK ONE ONLY.
I forget the exact quote, but it was something to the effect of, "Talk all you like, this buffalo's not listening."  But there are SOOOOOO MANY!

Did you cry at the end of Ptolemy's Gate?
YES.  SO DID MY MOM.

Excited about the prospect of a movie?
WHAT??????!!!!!!!!!!! THERE'S GONNA BE A MOVIE????!!!!!  If they made a movie, I'd be... wary.  There had BETTER BE THREE.  And it better take after LOTR and HP movies (the HP movies make me was to scream and throw things, but at least are usually kinda good movies in themselves), rather than, say, Eragon, which $@#&#@ tremendously.  It better not be mainstreamed either (like they did with HP), if they can't capture the feeling of the books, they shouldn't do it at all.  Also, they'd have to pick one voice for B, and leave it at that, so we can always recognize him in different forms.  Also - they'd have to make Ptolemy his main form, for the sanity of filming it, I think.  And how would they show the different planes?  They might have to show each one a different color, or something, otherwise it'd be too confuzing... hmm....

PS - about casting - Simon Lovelace, dark oily hair, bright blue eyes, glasses, charming but creepy?

So, I know this community hasn't been very active lately, but I just joined and thought I'd do the intro post anyway....

Who started you on Bartimaeus?
A friend of mine recommended the series to me.

How many people have you started on Bartimaeus?
Several, actually.

Favourite quote? PICK ONE ONLY.
Oh I definitely don't know. I haven't read the series in a while and there are so many.

Did you cry at the end of Ptolemy's Gate?
Absolutely. I thought it was an absolutely perfect ending, but I cried quite a lot anyway.

Excited about the prospect of a movie?
Sure. It will probably be bad, but I'm still interested in seeing it.


Right, well, now that that's done, I was wondering if anyone happens to have any really good fanfic recommendations? I don't really care what pairing or genre or whatever as long as it's really good. Thanks ahead of time to anybody who's got any!

Who started you on Bartimaeus?
Myself. i just leisurelly seeing for the cover for the first time, wanted to buy it, but i didn't because i thought that was a heavy dark-fantasy. i had rent it on the book cafe near my campus but i didn't read it even one page. but, when i read some review about it, i directly bought it and read it. and i am addicted :)

How many people have you started on Bartimaeus?
just one. i haven't ask my friends to read it, but i am quite sure that this one-friend will recommended it to another :)

Favourite quote? PICK ONE ONLY.
    So you say. Your heart's going like clappers. Eeuch, and you've gone a bit sweaty. Sure it isn't a fever?

Did you cry at the end of Ptolemy's Gate?
no, sadly. i already got a spoiler before i read it. pity. but, well, i laugh a lot. and i really loooove it!

Excited about the prospect of a movie?
ABSOLUTELY. but i don't give many expect for it, i hope if it is true, they didn't chop the chapter much. this trilogy are very complex in visualisation.




ps : where can i find fan's visualisation / fanart on nath?

Who started you on Bartimaeus?
My friend did recc me this novel last July, he said that I'll love Bart's snickery lines + I love snobby talented boys as main characters AF + learn some English. So I forcefully took borrowed his books last year, and because school was demanding, I didn't read it immediately. But somehow he nudge me to read it, and then I fell in love (in the book, not in him 89). Too bad the English editions are so expensive compared to the local Indonesian ones that I finally bought for myself - but the translation was good so I have no complaints.

How many people have you started on Bartimaeus?
Oh boy, I had my copy distributed to my friends for numerous time, I convinced them that BT is a really good series but most of them don't really like BT and compares it to HP (no offense, I like HP but I think BT has its own charms). So far, I only got two people, one is the employee who works in a stationery and art supply shop I frequently visit. Now he wants to borrow the third book :'D. And the second is my classmate, she's now addicted to draw Nat's and Ptolemy fanarts.

Favourite quote? PICK ONE ONLY.
I'm not sure because my books are Indonesian edition, but maybe this:

"Hey, we've all got problems, chum. I'm overly talkative. You look like a field of buttercups in a suit."

Did you cry at the end of Ptolemy's Gate?
I laugh and cry at the same time. It's a perfect bittersweet ending.

Excited about the prospect of a movie?
Of course, let's hope it won't end like Eragon or The Golden Compass though. I think it's great for Hollywood to make the movie. I really REALLY want to hear Bart's lines being recited.

Also, some icons:
[+] Artemis Fowl (various cover) x11
[+] Bartimaeus Trilogy (USA/international cover) x6
[+] Le Petit Prince x8
Total = 25

Who started you on Bartimaeus?
Wow. I picked up the first book so long ago... I think I kept seeing them at school book fairs and stuff, and I finally broke down and bought the first one.

How many people have you started on Bartimaeus?
My little brother, mainly. He's been reading the first one for almost a year now, because his soul is consumed by video games. He loves it so far, though.

Favourite quote? PICK ONE ONLY.

BARTIMAEUS: Where are your trousers?

(Unfortunately, I can't remember the whole exact quote. In Amulet, though.)

Did you cry at the end of Ptolemy's Gate?
Nah. It felt very, very right to me. Not that I wanted him to die, but... it didn't seem like a horrible ending.

Excited about the prospect of a movie?
Hmmmm... You know, I really am, but I'm afraid that Hollywood would screw it over because the fanbase is... pretty small. They always mess with things far too much. It's a possibility that it would be a good movie, though. I'd kind of love it.
