The Second Sugar Quill Summit was carried out on February
24 - 25, 2001 in Baltimore, Maryland. Four members were in attendance (Zsenya,
Arabella, Elanor Gamgee, and B Bennett). Moey participated via live satellite
feed from her winter home in Saint Croix. Firoza popped in for a moment electronically,
as did Caitlyn, and even Doctor Cornelius's presence was felt later on in
the evening. A good time was had by all. The main topic of conversation was
the much anticipated Über fic by Zsenya and Arabella, which is due out sometime
in the Spring, 2001. In addition, fan
art was created. Arabella created several audio versions
of the B Bennett's fiction, which are sure to beat out Jim Dale for the Grammy
next year. Captain Kathy (aka Elanor Gamgee) was presented with a Dictionary
of Naval Abbreviations to help her on the job. Moey took detailed notes
during the evening, and has transcribed them for us here.
The Third Sugar Quill Summit was carried out on March
30- April 1, 2001 in Ocean City, Maryland. Five members were in attendance
(Zsenya, Arabella, Elanor Gamgee, B Bennett, and Moey). We were delighted
that Doctor Cornelius made it back in England in time for a brief appearance
via email. T-shirts were created, several soundtracks developed, tattoos were
attempted (but they're illegal in OC - imagine), Maryland lost to Puke, and
April Fools Day jokes were plotted. While eating at the Hobbit, plans were
hatched for a Hogwarts themed restaurant, complete with remote control magic
wands. Blueprints were created for a new SugarQuill Headquarters, to be an
exact replica of Hogwarts castle. Building will commence as soon as Zsenya
and Arabella complete their first Harlequin romance (after the Über fic and
HQoW are finished, of course). Toasts were made to Elanor Gamgee for finishing
Hermione's Fourth Year, and congratulations are in order to her for making
us all go "Awww!" at exactly the same point at the end. Official
minutes by First Mate Moey now available.

The Minneapolis SQ Summit, April 9, 2001...minutes
The Fourth Sugar Quill Summit was carried out on May
11- May 13, 2001 in Northern Virginia. Six members were in attendance (Zsenya,
Arabella, Elanor Gamgee, B Bennett, Moey, and Jedi Boadicea). Vapid was available
via AIM two evenings in a row. We thank Gompers for letting us borrow him.
Honeychurch, Lallybroch, and Carleton97 also stayed up late chatting, and
rumor has it that a partial transcript will be available. Thing1 and Thing2
provided several new drink
recipes to be tested at the future summits. More T-shirts were
created, this time using specially made iron-ons by ElanorGamgee that said
"Dungbombs Rule" and "Property of Ron Weasley." Two new
soundtracks were test-driven (to be finessed by Elanor and Zsenya later this
century). Not only were tattoos
successful this time (thanks to our lovely tattoo artist, James, who probably
still thinks that we are a cult, but they inspired B Bennett to write a brand
new fic, which will be released shortly). The Daily Prophet showed
up for a photo shoot. We also went on a ghost tour led by an honest to goodness
paranormal investigator, and terrorized locals at a nearby IHOP. Minutes...
