If you saw any of the Children's film Foundation horrors you wouldn't want to see this movie. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Mike: what do you mean? alyeskakc says, I don't believe there are any LOONs about. samanthak223 says, Becca says hi every1 she likes al_ffn says, Nothing wrong with the Children's Film Foundation. ickleronniekinz says, What's the Children's Film Foundation? al_ffn says, *coughcough* flyingfordanglia says, It's hard to imagine that Ron, never having seen a 50 pence piece, would have been exposed to a regional accent samanthak223 says, have a cold Al? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi to Gwen al_ffn says, But if he's from a region! michelleapostolides says, Al, you don't remember some of the 70's horror films. al_ffn says, Then he must have one! € Aberforths_Goat says, I was bouncing off samanthak223 says, the boy who farts. now that's class samanthak223 says, **gives Al chicken soup** pippin_999 says, Probably the Wizards should all speak Elizabethan al_ffn says, I was being sarcastic, you don't need to pamper me flyingfordanglia says, But... how do *we* know how wizards talk? samanthak223 says, fine I won't! **smiles teasingly** al_ffn says, But we can guess. At the end of the day, that's what this whole thing is about flyingfordanglia says, Why would any of them have Muggle dialects? pippin_999 says, Maybe their lingo is translated like in the Lord of the Rings catlady_de_los_angeles says, Pippin, their speech wouold have evolved because of influx of Muggle-borns (and Muggle spoueses) in each genearatien michelleapostolides says, Oh, childrens' Film Foundation, enables kids to get involved with filmmaking at all levels. alyeskakc says, Then again why wouldn't they have a muggle accent? € Aberforths_Goat says, Hmm.

Cat alyeskakc says, That could have some influence on how the wizarding world speaks. catorman says, Meant to post on list, but I'm very behind this week. selah_1977 enters michelleapostolides says, Hang on a minute, we don't know for sure. sineadsiobhan says, hey Eb! selah_1977 says, Hey! alyeskakc says, Hi Eb pippin_999 says, Ebony! selah_1977 says, Sinead! samanthak223 says, Auntie Ebony!!!!! selah_1977 says, Pippin! michelleapostolides says, Ebs.

He certainly didn't balk at reading out Rita Skeeter's soapish article in class. samanthak223 says, my SVDS Draco is sluty. worde then Al's Draco al_ffn says, Well, it's not really my scene. al_ffn says, In that I'm not a tight T-shirt wearing slut who spends all his time in gay nightclubs :-D samanthak223 says, worse* maud_moody says, Al: Yeah, I know it's meant for laughs and all, it's just not my cup of tea. catlady_de_los_angeles says, the letter was totally not anatomical, if you know what I mean samanthak223 says, Sure your not Al samanthak223 says, uh~huh saitaina says, Yeah Al, you just do it for a writer's persepective. maud_moody says, Anatomical IS embarrassing. For one thing, most of the words for body parts are ridiculous-sounding... al_ffn says, For research purposes. al_ffn says, um samanthak223 says, lol catlady_de_los_angeles says, I keep thiniking that AL's Slut!Draco is a bigger slut than my Draco, but then I can never make that argument from evidence... al_ffn says, Well, I go clubbing in Brighton quite a lot. And when you've seen one club there, you've seen them all. maud_moody really doesn't see Draco as a slut - honestly samanthak223 says, my slut!Draco just gets down to business among pink pink bubbles al_ffn says, You're right, he probably isn't. Too hung up on his Father to contemplate it. maud_moody grins at Al saitaina says, I think Al's Slut!Draco is decended from my slut!Lucius but I couldnt' be sure as my lucy is getting himself into a big hole htat has a grave on top maud_moody says, an Orestean complex? samanthak223 says, damn Lucius maud_moody says, Kind of like Hamlet. samanthak223 says, even if Lucius the name rules!! al_ffn says, Starling, was this Draco in your plot bunny fic gay or not? samanthak223 says, nameing my son that. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I am re-reading GoF, and in the riot at the wORLD cUP, paid attention to the effect of Draco and maud_moody says, My Draco is starting to get good-looking but he's still a complete and utter jerk. samanthak223 says, PoA was the best. samanthak223 says, I like Bad!Draco better maud_moody says, I think he will turn around in the end -- if for no better reason than enlightened self-interest. catlady_de_los_angeles says, in that scene, he is sexy regardless of being evil -- and I could even see that he might not be totally evil, might be warning Hermione as Heidi says samanthak223 says, more appeling saitaina says, Oh! I have a question...WHY was Draco not effected by the Veela? It woudl have been funny to see him up there with Harry like an idiot samanthak223 says, he's part vella samanthak223 says, veela* agent_starling_1999 says, Al: no, he isn΄t... but Colin could be... samanthak223 says, Colin? Definetly gay samanthak223 says, flaming saitaina says, Oh yeah samanthak223 says, on fire samanthak223 says, shall I go on? saitaina says, No, I think it's the concensus. al_ffn says, I was thinking of calling it Catch 22, in honour of the TV show you said it came from. catlady_de_los_angeles says, but he next appears on the train mocking Ron's dress robe, and is purely evil and not very attractve in tht scene samanthak223 says, damn. I had more saitaina says, I think Collin and Justin have a thing going. agent_starling_1999 says, plus, Draco being gay in that fic would be kind of a problem samanthak223 says, what fic? al_ffn says, ToT is technically slash, too, if you watch carefully enough. agent_starling_1999 says, He needs to fight with Harry for Ginny al_ffn says, Part 8 ... Seamus/Lee Jordan maud_moody says, I just got a review from someone who has read my fics and loved them but has not read HP yet. Boy, are they in for a shock... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Maybe canon Draco WAS affected by the veelas. He appears to have been taught rather more self-control than Ron has, so he could drool without jumping over the barrier samanthak223 says, brb agent_starling_1999 says, Oh, just an idea I mentioned in the FictionAlley message board al_ffn says, Perhaps he's just not a drooler maud_moody says, Actually, I've had several reviews like that, from people on my RUSS-L list. I'll be interested to hear what they think of canon when they finally read it. catlady_de_los_angeles says, and the Malfoys were sitting behind the Weasley party so Harry and Hermione wouldn[t have seen if D raco did drool agent_starling_1999 says, Oops, time to go... dinner is waiting al_ffn says, I find drooling quite unattractive anyway saitaina says, True..but I still think it would have been funny to see the three of them getting ready to act like idiots. Lucius would be embaressed and Arthur woudl think it was a larff. catlady_de_los_angeles says, by y Starling maud_moody says, Al: I agree. Draco is too cool and self-contained to drool. al_ffn says, Ok, see ya samanthak223 says, completly maud_moody says, Ron is more impulsive and outwardly expressive, thus his obvious reaction to the Veelas. agent_starling_1999 says, bye bye! agent_starling_1999 leaves catlady_de_los_angeles says, I meant 'drool; metaphorically this time. al_ffn says, I can hear my parents moving around upstairs ... erk saitaina says, But Harry's introspective a bit and he still went to jump catlady_de_los_angeles says, He was 14 and faced with a mob of veelas samanthak223 says, parent? maud_moody says, I know, Rita, but I meant that he wouldn't *show* he was inwardly drooling. samanthak223 says, I thought u were like 25? al_ffn says, yes ... parents ... you know, people I live with al_ffn says, No, I'm 19 al_ffn says, :-D samanthak223 says, oh samanthak223 says, kewl maud_moody says, I was going to say "I live with my parents too," but then I forgot I've been married for 3 years and have a son saitaina says, I'M OLDER THEN ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!! maud_moody hides face in hands catlady_de_los_angeles says, he would flush and his heart would thump -- I am not an expert on his crotch.... samanthak223 says, I live w/ bf now (he was gay) no parents maud_moody thanks heaven that Rita is not an expert in that area al_ffn says, ahh catlady_de_los_angeles says, Sait I'm 43 maud_moody says, I'm 30. al_ffn says, brb saitaina says, That was Al not all, it just looked that way maud_moody says, But I lived with my parents up until 3 years ago, thus the confusion. samanthak223 says, I'm 17 on July 31st maud_moody says, And my parents still live about 5 min. away... maud_moody says, Oh, cool, you have Harry's birthday! saitaina says, I's 20 and I live on my own or with eight cats and a mother samanthak223 says, I have no clue where my parents are maud_moody says, It's eight o'clock.

It starts at 3 p.m. EST on Sundays. alyeskakc says, No kidding. DS 14 was like 42 pages or so when I printed it. catlady_de_los_angeles says, starts at noon PST, which is 3pm EST, I think 8pm UK SUMmer time maud_moody says, Zigackly. rainy_lilac says, So whaddya think? Would one chapter be okay to start? mintycloud says, hi juliew428 says, thanks- I'll try to make it earlier next week! catlady_de_los_angeles says, usually there are people an hour earlier maud_moody says, A lot of people start that way. juliew428 says, bye everyone! mss4a says, well earlier ones are much shorter--going to rechapter later maud_moody says, With one chapter, I mean. alyeskakc says, bye maud_moody says, Bye, Julie! juliew428 leaves maud_moody says, Oh, really? Didn't notice. maud_moody needs to re-read HoS again mss4a says, good mss4a says, nooooooo maud_moody says, And get rid of these repetitive redundancies. catlady_de_los_angeles says, well, Heidi's rules are one chaptr plus an outline of the rest of the fic, or some number of chapters I forget mss4a says, lemme revise it first maud_moody rolls eyes mss4a says, hehehe maud_moody says, "Re-read again" -- honestly. mss4a says, hehe alyeskakc says, If you only have one chapter. you need an out line of the next three. mss4a says, you're hard on yourself mss4a says, oh man maud_moody says, What? mss4a says, i don't use an outline catlady_de_los_angeles says, You can post anything in a folder on HPff and I can't imagine that anyone would flame you there maud_moody says, So? mss4a says, no, i was saying, "oh man" to the outline thing maud_moody says, You wouldn't need one, Melanie, you have tons of chapters. You're more than eligible for a place on Schnoogle. mss4a says, nm catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don;t use an outline either, whch may be why tying up the plot loose ends is so difficult mss4a says, thanks, i will do that once i revise mss4a says, well my method is: alyeskakc says, I try to outline but I don't always follow it. rainy_lilac says, I don't know if the story is ready for Snoogle... maud_moody says, They just want to be sure that people don't start a story with one or two chapters and then never finish it... that's why they ask for an outline for people who have only a little bit of a story done. maud_moody says, But you are way past that point. mss4a says, obsess over the idea for several months mss4a says, oh oh oh ok catlady_de_los_angeles says, Suzanne, want me to read it? maud_moody says, You're at, what, 24 chapters? I don't think there's any danger of you abandoning fic. maud_moody says, Much as you might like to. mss4a says, obsessing is just as good as outline maud_moody says, But we would all kill you if you tried it. mss4a says, i was just gonna say... catlady_de_los_angeles says, eitherpost it on HPff or e-mail it to me (catlady @ wicca.net) preferably in .rtf format mss4a says, you have no idea mss4a says, rainy_lilac says, If you are willing, when I finish the first chapter.. Like I said, I expanded the story.. maud_moody says, My method: don't outline, don't obsess, don't even think, just sit down and write until something happens. catlady_de_los_angeles says, RJ, you said just thought up plot of it in church today! that was thinking! maud_moody says, But you need a strong heart to do that, because you end up with a lot of very surprising results. maud_moody says, But that was very rare, Rita. maud_moody says, I do think sometimes, but I often wind up not doing what I thought about when it comes to the actual writing. mintycloud leaves rainy_lilac says, rtf? alyeskakc says, I like to write that way it's more fun and you never know where you'll end up. maud_moody says, Rich Text Format. rainy_lilac says, Ahh.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, REbecca. how can you know it will be a trilogy if you don't know what going to come out of your pen? maud_moody says, Any word processing program should be able to save it in that format. maud_moody says, I didn't know, Rita. I thought it would just be TPMA. maud_moody says, Then I thought it would just be TPMA and PR. maud_moody says, But the trilogy is my natural format, so I knew that IWS would be the end. mss4a leaves mss4a enters catlady_de_los_angeles says, But yu knew TPMA would be three sections -- how can yiu know if you don't know what's going to come out of your pen? rainy_lilac says, what is the advantage of rtf? maud_moody says, I literally knew nothing except the section titles. mss4a curses up a storm alyeskakc says, BTW did amber ever fix your gobbledygook problem Rebecca? maud_moody says, Yes, she did. maud_moody says, Dunno how. maud_moody says, It just... happened, Rita. Honestly. I had no outline, hardly any notes. And the notes I did have, I mostly didn't follow or use. mss4a says, rj, i think your method only works if you are brilliant mss4a says, or something maud_moody says, No, it only works if you are deranged. mss4a says, lol mss4a says, no, cause i'm deranged catlady_de_los_angeles says, the rtf I've been messing with looks just as formatted as WORD, but it can be read by any decent word processor -- I have WORD 2000 now and lots of people can't read my .doc files mss4a says, hey maybe i should try it! maud_moody says, I wish I could outline, but if I write out the story in outline form then I don't write the story -- why bother if I already know what happens? rainy_lilac says, nodnodnod maud_moody says, Which makes it very difficult to sell a novel you haven't finished writing yet. maud_moody says, So I have to write books first and THEN sell them... but that's a lot of extra work. maud_moody says, Especially since I can't sell manuscripts for toffee. mss4a says, ? rainy_lilac says, I don't know what is happening yet... Only that Sirius is living in a warm place for the summer and is getting his strength back. maud_moody looks at KNIFE gloomily mss4a pats rebecca on the shoulder mss4a says, there there catlady_de_los_angeles says, I understand why write without an outline (as I am doing) but not how you now how many chapters it will be ... I keep being wrong about about how many chapterws mine will be mss4a says, yeah that would be hard mss4a says, i couldn't do it maud_moody says, Oh, I was only right about TPMA. I had no idea with PR and I have no idea with IWS, although I have a rough concept in my mind of how long it is probably going to be. maud_moody says, I am thinking 10 - 12 chapters... it'll probably be 11 or something. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Suzanne: he is hearing distrubing rumors, that is from canon alyeskakc says, what kind of rumors? rainy_lilac says, Whaaaat? catlady_de_los_angeles says, disturbing rumors of Voldemort related activity rainy_lilac says, Oh yeah... rumors that motivate him to come back to England.. maud_moody needs a shoulder massage badly after all this typing maud_moody says, Pity I can't write MYSELF one. catlady_de_los_angeles says, beginning of GoF, Harry writes to Sirius that his scar is hurting, Sirius writes aqck that he has been hearing disturbing ruomors mss4a says, lol mss4a says, you could rainy_lilac says, Wait.. I know thyat he is troubled by what is happening with Harry... mss4a says, but you'd feel worse after maud_moody says, LOL!!! mss4a says, mss4a says, you would need a thong tho mss4a says, LOL maud_moody splutters maud_moody says, "Thing, thing a thong..." alyeskakc says, back to thongs again? mss4a says, for tying hair of course! rainy_lilac says, Ahhhhhhhh... Must read that part again.. This is the harder part I need to construct his correspondence with both harry and Dumbledore.. and balance it by other stuff that is happening on the island... maud_moody says, "...thing out loud, thing out thtrong..." alyeskakc says, oh of course mss4a looks around innocently catlady_de_los_angeles says, if you want to join my universe? this island might be in Bermuda Triangle, is unplottable to Muggles and covered by magical protetions maud_moody says, "...don't worry if it's not good enough / for anyone else to hair..." catlady_de_los_angeles says, is a magical hurricane reearch center rainy_lilac says, And is tropical and a favorite hangout of attractive mermaids... mss4a grimaces maud_moody smacks Melanie's hand mss4a says, lol alyeskakc says, and cabana boys mss4a says, hey rj rainy_lilac says, The mermaid is a scientist.. maud_moody says, Yup? rainy_lilac says, Of course... mss4a says, have you seen Being John Malkovich maud_moody thinks this is starting to sound like a vaudeville act maud_moody says, Nope. mss4a says, ah ok mss4a says, lol catlady_de_los_angeles says, Bermuda Triangle: Caribbean: Tropical -- like AngieJ's ancestral island in TiP (CH 6 was it?) angela_burgess enters rainy_lilac says, And is engaged, but fancies Sirius for a summer Tryst.... Meanwhile Sirius... mss4a says, cause one thing erica says reminds me of it maud_moody says, Which? catlady_de_los_angeles says, There's not really cabana boys, they're grad students mss4a says, about wanting to be her rainy_lilac says, is haunted by his meories of Azkaban and Lily and James... angela_burgess leaves maud_moody says, Ah, that was something we discussed in e-mail. catlady_de_los_angeles says, 'journeymen'; mss4a says, snape wanting to be maud for a while mss4a says, yeah? maud_moody says, Yes. mss4a says, what did you say alyeskakc says, working for the summer. rainy_lilac says, People with PTSD often start to really=h face their memories when they are in a safe place. maud_moody says, A lot of that story came out of our discussions of that chapter. mss4a says, reeeeally maud_moody says, Yeah, her analysis was quite interesting. mss4a says, huh rainy_lilac says, Whose analysis? maud_moody says, And she picked up on a lot of nuances in my story that I thought nobody had noticed. mss4a says, i think that idea is pretty interesting mss4a says, erica smith's mss4a says, of rj's story maud_moody says, My beta Erica's analysis of Snape's thinking in IWS 6. She wrote an awesome story about it. Your buddy george_weasleys_girlfriend is on pager Your buddy rainy_lilac is in chat Your buddy tim_merrigan is on pager maud_moody says, But then, she is just a very intelligent and well-read person. mss4a says, i need to be more attentive mss4a says, some things i half-notice rainy_lilac says, nod maud_moody says, Just a sec...

I always Imagine remus as being a real tiger under all that maud_moody says, I don't think he's self-pitying at all. catlady_de_los_angeles says, maybe one of Arielle's grown-up grandchildren george_weasleys_girlfriend says, *is reading* alyeskakc says, Resigned about his fate but not miserable. maud_moody says, He's got too much strength of character to be a whiner. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, *groans at the fact it's a SlimeManFic* maud_moody says, Yeah. alyeskakc says, as in acceptng maud_moody says, SORRY, Jana, but I thought it was very well done. rainy_lilac says, I imagine that in the week before he is due to transform he uhmmm gets...uhm rather... maud_moody now remembers why she didn't copy Jana on it the first time george_weasleys_girlfriend says, It is well done. It would have been better if it was George. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, :-D george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Actually, I really like it so far. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Copy Jana on what? maud_moody says, The latest chapter of "After the End" has THE best Remus-into-werewolf sequence I have ever read.

Since I didn't write it you don't have to tease me about it. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, LOL Sure I can. maud_moody says, George would be too much of a gentleman to have such thoughts, Jana. maud_moody says, alyeskakc says, That's Arabella nad Zsenya's story isn't it? rainy_lilac says, Where is it posted? maud_moody says, Yes. siriusgeologist says, we really need to get the bostonians together rainy_lilac says, I am a Bostonian!! maud_moody says, It's at SugarQuill and also at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AftertheEnd george_weasleys_girlfriend says, George has plenty of... well, anyway... *clears throat* catlady_de_los_angeles wonders if RJ read her Remus into werewolf chapter of the Lily fic.... maud_moody says, Yes, Jana, I know (she said patiently). maud_moody says, No, Rita, sorry, I haven't... I generally avoid MWPP fics. alyeskakc says, Haven't written Remus tranforming yet. maud_moody says, I'm just not that interested in the era. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, *scratches nose* maud_moody says, And I'm all James/Lily'd out. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Not interested because Harry's not interested? maud_moody says, LOL! rainy_lilac leaves Your buddy rainy_lilac is in chat rainy_lilac enters george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I did a James/Lily fic once. From McG's PoV. maud_moody says, No, it's just that it's all water under the bridge. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, It frustrates me how little interested Harry is in his own past. rainy_lilac says, Falling on the ground with a thump... george_weasleys_girlfriend says, JKR can hide a hint ANYWHERE. rainy_lilac says, whaaaaaa? maud_moody says, Maybe he's afraid of the emotions that would be stirred up if he looked too closely. maud_moody says, That would fit with Harry; he's an emotional sandbagger. maud_moody says, Unlike Ron, the emotional bomb. alyeskakc says, Maybe he won't visit his parents past until book 6 or 7 catlady_de_los_angeles says, mine isn't a L/J romance, they are comfortably married and fighting the Dark Side together, but Sirius is tryig to take over hte story maud_moody says, Argh, it's late, it's time for me to go to bed... maud_moody says, Sorry, guys, I've got to go. catlady_de_los_angeles says, okay, we give your reluctant permission to leave us maud_moody bows to Rita alyeskakc says, Bye Rebecca maud_moody says, G'night! george_weasleys_girlfriend says, RJ - Tell Erica that the story was GOOD. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Night! catlady_de_los_angeles says, nighty night maud_moody says, Will do! maud_moody leaves george_weasleys_girlfriend says, I ought to get going, too. Night all! george_weasleys_girlfriend leaves Your buddy george_weasleys_girlfriend leaves chat rainy_lilac says, I was bumped... back nowe... what are we talking about?? catlady_de_los_angeles says, rj and jana left catlady_de_los_angeles says, they had been talkiung about why Harry so stubbornly refues to find out abour his parents past for us readrs alyeskakc says, Harry not wanting to know about his past and his parents alyeskakc says, MAybe he does ask about them but it's not something JKR has shown us up to this point. rainy_lilac says, Yeah,...I would have thought he would at least look up articles or yearbook photos.. f-price enters alyeskakc says, aybe it will come up more now that the books are getting a little darker. f-price says, Aha! rainy_lilac says, Of course he does ask Dumbledore why Voldie tried to kill him, and D refused to answer because he is too young. rainy_lilac says, Then it is mysterious that Remus DOESN'T get into the whole "hey! I knew your father! " thing... You would think he would have said more to Harry. alyeskakc says, Stupid keyboard rainy_lilac says, I have to got to sleep soon.. alyeskakc says, Yeah, I need to go do some writing. f-price leaves rainy_lilac says, Aftr the End looks good... siriusgeologist is away (Auto-Away) alyeskakc says, I read the first chapter, but for some reason haven't gone back to it. But I liked it. rainy_lilac says, *parvati yawns on my lap and wants ehr ears scratched* alyeskakc says, Remus wasn't sure what to tell Harry then because of Sirius and his friendship. alyeskakc says, Because HArry would have asked him about Sirius then. Questions he might not want to answer. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Remus is a deeply self-isolating person catlady_de_los_angeles says, one can hardly blame him for it rainy_lilac says, Nod... rainy_lilac says, I feel that in him.. I want to break through it.. alyeskakc says, Plus it would probably bring up lots of bad memories about what happened. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Rainy, yes, but in canon it hasn't happened yet catlady_de_los_angeles says, put together two self- isolating people like Remus and Harry and watch no relationship happen alyeskakc says, He thought that one of his best friends killed two of his other best friends either directly or indirectly. catlady_de_los_angeles says, and most people he've ever met in his life have hated him for being a werewolf... rainy_lilac says, Nod alyeskakc says, That too, also I think it would be a little hard on him because Harry looks like James. catlady_de_los_angeles wishes passionately that she could be the one who melts through his shell and brings him out of it..... *sigh* sylph_in_the_sea enters catlady_de_los_angeles says, HI sLYHPH alyeskakc says, I think you might have to fight a lot of people for that position Rita sylph_in_the_sea leaves alyeskakc says, Hi Sylph catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, Kristin, I know, but it isn't gong to be any one of us *sigh* catlady_de_los_angeles says, here's hopingI don;t get disconnecte4d again becaue I have to move aqgain alyeskakc says, true, oh well alyeskakc says, one can always dream catlady_de_los_angeles says, touch wood, Not disconnected rainy_lilac says, LOL rainy_lilac says, I need to go offf now...
