For some reason it wouldn't let me go to this window because I had another window open at the time... oddness. maud_moody says, And nope, I don't know how to change the font either. maud_moody says, I think I'll bounce off and read/reply to my IWS 9 reviews for a while... back later... maud_moody is away (stepped out) Saitaina says, And I gotta lay down for a moment...having a problem here Saitaina is away (be right back) catlady_de_los_angeles says, Friday and Yesterday I was YMed by strange young men -- one wanted to ask a COBOL question for school and one wanted cybersex....

(Excuse my ignorance....) maud_moody says, "If We Survive" -- the third in my trilogy of Snapefics. anna_l_milton says, Welcome back, Rebecca... anna_l_milton says, Got it... maud_moody says, Thanks. catlady_de_los_angeles says, When I read Steve's Fri/Sat posts to the main list catlady_de_los_angeles says, I wanted to make a joke about shameless self=promotion catlady_de_los_angeles says, but was afraid he wouldn't recognize that it was a joke maud_moody says, Rita, just noticed something -- you might want to change the order of my aliases on the chatter list, I never use synaesthete7 anymore, so it's probably best to put maud_moody first and stick it under the M's... catlady_de_los_angeles says, okay maud_moody says, Thanks! anna_l_milton says, So, Rebecca, where exactly do you self-promote? anna_l_milton says, FictionAlley Park? maud_moody says, No, I send messages out to HPFGU-Announcements, DiagonAlley, Snapefans, and HP_Fanfiction mailing lists. maud_moody says, I haven't ever posted in FictionAlley Park yet... catlady_de_los_angeles says, I haven't ever posted in FicdtionAlley Park either anna_l_milton says, Well, I'm the mod of two forums there maud_moody says, When the story is done, though, I'll send a big announcement to the other Snape lists I'm on. I just don't want to drive people nuts with the same announcement umpty times... catlady_de_los_angeles says, I can'[t keep up witht he lists I'm already on anna_l_milton says, Hello... maud_moody says, Should I post there, Anna, do you think? Would it make a difference? I guess it wouldn't hurt... maud_moody says, Hello, Kate. maud_moody says, Why, what's wrong with it/them? catlady_de_los_angeles says, I wonder if I should post there, post the Halloween Owl announcement there? anna_l_milton says, Rebecca: you could post on the Author Recommendation forum... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Rebecca, was that to me, what's wrong with the lists I'm already on? I try to read every post if I read any post is what's wrong anna_l_milton says, That's were we go to plug our own fics.... catlady_de_los_angeles This chat will be saved and posted on theYahoo Group : catlady_de_los_angeles http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/ anna_l_milton says, I the mod of the Founders forum and of the Source Materials forum... Saitaina is back. Saitaina says, Back..sorta anna_l_milton says, Welcome back... anna_l_milton says, And am now chatting because I was tired of writing... anna_l_milton says, You can call it a mini writer's block maud_moody says, Rita, I actually wanted to know what Kate was mad about, but I'm glad you answered too, because I was curious. maud_moody says, I had editor's block last week. It was horrible. catlady_de_los_angeles says, editor's block??? Saitaina says, I have a perminent case of Writer's block on all my fics...someone shoot me hermitchick says, can anyone see .bmp files on their webbrowser? jferer enters anna_l_milton says, There's a forum in FictionAlley Park decicated to the cure of writer's block.... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi Jim jferer says, You guys are early. Thought I'd check. Saitaina says, Ah, I don't think there's a cure for mine. Hi Jim anna_l_milton says, Hello Jim... hermitchick says, hi catlady_de_los_angeles says, Not early, late --- according to tradtion (which may be changing) rather than official time jferer says, Hi, all! anna_l_milton says, Well, talking as a professional writer here, I think there are two causes for writer's block.... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Kate, Saitana, Kate is talking in Arial and Saitana is talking in Times Roman I think, how can I control what font I talk in? jferer says, You look like Arial to me, but so does everybody. Saitaina says, I'm talking in New Roman because that's what my cheeta chose. jferer says, Are you using Cheetah Chat? anna_l_milton says, Click on the preferences button... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Anna, go on with the causes -- this year my mie cause o f writers block is being asleep catlady_de_los_angeles says, yes cheetah hermitchick says, yes, I got one pic to load w/o line-y thingies, wanna see one of my senor pics? anna_l_milton says, It's the one with a pencil icon on it... Saitaina says, Rita-There's a drop down thingy that changes the font..or should, other then that, no clue anna_l_milton says, OK, so cause one is overwork... jferer is away (be right back) Saitaina says, Oui, drop down thingy works..well, for me anna_l_milton says, Like what just happened to me right now -- I needed a break... anna_l_milton says, Cause two is insufficient research.... jferer is back. catlady_de_los_angeles says, How does this come out? anna_l_milton says, Either the plot isn't researched enough, or the characters aren't still there... that kind of thing... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Good! Saitaina says, How could insufficient reserch cause writer's block? Wouldnt' that just cause the story to halt... jferer says, Makes sense. catlady_de_los_angeles says, No, not good, it changes Anna's words too hermitchick says, really? anna_l_milton says, Insufficient research makes you feel you don't know what to write next... catlady_de_los_angeles says, and Kate's but not Saitaina's anna_l_milton says, I think that qualifies as writer's block... jferer says, IOW, Anna, it's like having a woodshop with no lumber in it? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Anna: that must be counting Reserach and Brainstrorming/Daydreaming as the same ting Saitaina says, My problem is knowing what comes next but not being able to create 'filler' from one big part to the next. anna_l_milton says, Yes to Jim and yes to Rita... anna_l_milton says, Although I think it's a tad more specific than brainstorming... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Does anyone else see my wordsin fancy font? anna_l_milton says, Not me. anna_l_milton says, Saitaina: that's a characterisation problem. Saitaina says, I see them normally love. Only person I see diffrent is hermi but that's because her's is bigger. jferer says, I'm on the Java applet and everybody looks the same. hermitchick says, http://geocities.com/kathryn_hockman/tmp5.bmp can anyone tell me if this works. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Saitana, I am better at noodling their ordinary lives than at coming up with Plot Excitement hermitchick says, me too jferer says, Font, I mean. Colors vary. hermitchick says, on the font thingie anna_l_milton says, The characters move the plot, not the other way around... Saitaina says, How is that a characterisation problem? (I'm not trying to sound rude if it comes out that way I'm genunily curious...and confused) See, I can come up with big things, Like Neville leaving Hogwarts and abandoning the resistance...but I can't figure out what to write between that and the next big scene. catlady_de_los_angeles says, So the Preferences/Display didn't set my font for me... anna_l_milton says, If a character has depth enough, he or she will tell you were to go next. hermitchick says, I see how that could be a proublem Saitaina says, Doesn't seem so Rita jferer says, YES! In the small amount of fic I wrote, Once my characters had their personalities I had them walk around and it seemed to work. anna_l_milton says, They will tell the whole story for you. maud_moody is away (Auto-Away) Saitaina says, GAHHH! Now I'm just lost and confused. Course I have many major problems in writing fics. maybe I should just give out bunnies and let others write them. anna_l_milton says, I hope I don't sound arrogant or anything, but I have a lot of writing experience.... jferer says, I think characters are by far the most important. Shakespeare knew it. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Kate, you bmp, my browser warned me that it contains a possibly dangerous dll, shuod I trust you?, Saitaina says, Oh no Anna, I love having someone experianced to bounce problems off of, I only have one manuscript under my belt and I still need a third author to edit it. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Saitaina, imagine (noodle, daydream, fantasise like living it) that Neville was telling you about how he abandoned the resistance. Ask him quewstions hermitchick says, really? anna_l_milton says, Always glad to be of service.... jferer says, Being opinionated is allowed, even encouraged here, since we all know our opinions are right. anna_l_milton says, Ask whatever questions you want... Saitaina says, I've done that...I know that hole scene already...I just don't know how to get from that...to Dumbledore re-introducing Percy to the students at Hogwarts hermitchick says, I just changed a scanned image to a bmp in windows paint because I couldn't change it to a jpg catlady_de_los_angeles says, consider the location if this conversation -- bar, coffee house, your home anna_l_milton says, Hang on.... Saitaina, are you unsure of how to jump from a scene to another? jferer says, Saitana, what's happening? Percy's to be a teacher? hermitchick says, what are we talking about anyhow? anna_l_milton says, Writer's block in general and Saitaina's in particular.... Saitaina says, Yes! I have three major scenes and no filler to move them smoothly. (no Percy's a DE under Dumbledore's protection) catlady_de_los_angeles says, If DUmbledore reingtroduces Percy at much the same timethat Neville left, I would do a jump cut (blank line, three or more asterisks, blank line) anna_l_milton says, That was what I was going to say.... anna_l_milton says, "Filler" turns the reader off. jferer says, Maybe you've got Percy something he would never actually do. jferer says, Could that be a problem? Saitaina says, It's a week apart though....Neville leaves, percy get's re intoed, Draco Freaks and Monica has a hissy fit over being Lucius's pet. anna_l_milton says, I don't know... there are a few pointers in canon towards Percy being hiding something.... Saitaina says, I just can't tie those scenes together into a story Saitaina says, story chapter I mean anna_l_milton says, What is the line that binds them altogether? Saitaina says, Line? anna_l_milton says, Are they alll related to the plot somehow? maud_moody is back. maud_moody says, Okay, I just posted a plug on FictionAlley, now I'm back... anna_l_milton says, Did you check out the forums I moderate? jferer is away (be right back) maud_moody says, Editor's block is when your internal editor refuses to operate, and yet you know that what you've written so far needs to be pared down, chopped up, rewritten and generally picked to pieces before it'll work. Saitaina says, yes, the comman theme is the last war of Volemort. Draco and Neville lead part of the resitance against him, Percy was a high ranking DE, Monica is one of the 'next generation' catlady_de_los_angeles says, Okay, Neville leaves, a week passes. You write something about After Neville;s departure, (some cahracter) was so surprised, having thought that Neville NEVER would turn of all people, that he looked in the facde of each person he met, wondering if he or she would be next to turn... maud_moody says, the only way I could overcome it last week was to copy the chapter into a new file and go to town on it, all the while telling myself I could always retrieve the original version if I needed to... anna_l_milton says, Rebecca: I never have that sort of problem... hermitchick says, http://geocities.com/kathryn_hockman/untitled.gif I turned it into a giffile, but it lost lots of colour, maybe it will work now catlady_de_los_angeles says, This person reminisces of Percy having turned as he walks into the Great Hall for dinner, and --- anna_l_milton says, Of course, I have to experiment twice with a story before I actually write it... maud_moody says, I don't usually, Anna, but I did this time. catlady_de_los_angeles says, there at the Head Table is Percy!!!!! sineadsiobhan enters maud_moody says, I write/edit compulsively as I go. hermitchick says, hello maud_moody says, Hi, Sinead! sineadsiobhan says, hey all! anna_l_milton says, The first draft is always rubbish, the second is a little better... Saitaina says, Thanks Rita, hullo Sinead anna_l_milton says, And the third goes smooth as silk... anna_l_milton says, Hi Sinead. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi Sinead sineadsiobhan says, how's things going in chat? maud_moody says, I write about fifty drafts of each paragraph, and then I go on to the next one. But then when I'm finished a chapter, it's REALLY finished, except for a bit of minor tweaking. Saitaina says, Now to remember what my last paragraph was so I can put it as the begining...damn ffn catlady_de_los_angeles says, we were talking about writers block jferer is back. anna_l_milton says, And I've grabbed the story, right at the beginning, I never have editing problems... hermitchick says, will ff.net ever be back up? sineadsiobhan says, aha... the nasty mythical monster Saitaina says, brb-having story fun anna_l_milton says, I tend to polish my prose as I write.... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Kate: I'm surprised that you posted a picture of you lookingnormal, ,not goth, not pale anna_l_milton says, Are there Goths amongst us tonight? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Sinead, I hope Dai is okay hermitchick says, I have enough makeup on to kill something! My sis' doing sineadsiobhan says, he's on and talking to me sineadsiobhan says, he's fine, just a little angry about the last chat.. maud_moody says, I dunno, maybe I could haul in my German husband... jferer says, You can polish prose on a computer... You can go back and forth as the impulse moves you. maud_moody says, I thought that would happen... sineadsiobhan says, not nice to talk behind his back anna_l_milton says, lol... I was wondering because there's some Goth bands I like... maud_moody says, ...Dai being mad, I mean. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Good, anger is a healthier emotin than being down in the dumps hermitchick says, the one showing my shoulders looks funny, white skin tanned looking face anna_l_milton says, But they are so underground people always make funny faces when I mention them... hermitchick says, who? sineadsiobhan says, it wasn't our fault that the chat wasn't posted anna_l_milton says, Kate: you mean the bands? catlady_de_los_angeles says, we didn't think it was behind his back because we knew perfectly w2ell that we were saving the trqanscript hermitchick says, I guess sineadsiobhan says, still he wasn't there to defend himself anna_l_milton says, Well, I like Sopor Aeternus anna_l_milton says, Pazuzu anna_l_milton says, Ildfrost anna_l_milton says, Some of the stuff by Sol Invictus... maud_moody says, They sound like wizards in some pretentous fantasy epic. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't knwo why Al thought that previous transcript was too hot to post -- someone said there was an argument about homophobia and someonen ele said they thought it was because of talking about rqaceper: :Lqsu catlady_de_los_angeles says, race catlady_de_los_angeles says, I can't even type the word! maud_moody says, I STILL have never seen that transcript, and I was there for half of it... *sighs* hermitchick says, ? cassandraclaire73 enters sineadsiobhan says, I've got the transcript and I understand why Al didn't want to post hermitchick says, hi anna_l_milton says, Cassie! catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi Cassie cassandraclaire73 says, heya. anna_l_milton says, Where have you been, girl? jferer says, Hi, Cassie anna_l_milton says, I have lots of things to discuss with you! cassandraclaire73 says, 'lo all. uh-oh, am I in trouble? Saitaina says, Hullo Cass anna_l_milton says, No, not yet cassandraclaire73 says, im still in moving throes, and i can only get online when my rommate's away. so, we still anna_l_milton says, We're co-moderating a board, btw... cassandraclaire73 says, discussing scandalous chat? cassandraclaire73 says, i noiced. i posted! catlady_de_los_angeles says, we were talking about writers block and then about the unposted chat anna_l_milton says, Yes, I know... twice! Saitaina says, Which I still don't know what happened in...see what happens when I don't get up! cassandraclaire73 says, *grumbles* i wish someone would post it so we could understand whatthe problem was... Saitaina says, I agree with Cass cassandraclaire73 says, i would have posted 3 time sbut heidi beat me to it sineadsiobhan says, Ask Al Saitaina says, Can't, he's on vacation anna_l_milton says, Cassie, can we discuss our plot fusion over YM? cassandraclaire73 says, i can't he's in France. sineadsiobhan says, wait and ask Al later on catlady_de_los_angeles says, Al ran away to France to avoid seeing the replies to his post about not posting sineadsiobhan says, that's what I meant cassandraclaire73 says, maybe we should set up a time and i should send you the 1st chapter of DV so as to fuse better. sineadsiobhan says, I don' anna_l_milton says, But have your read what there is of FD yet? sineadsiobhan says, t want to show the transcript w/o his permisson cassandraclaire73 says, i haven't finished it so i feel like i should. it's so well-researched! *claps* catlady_de_los_angeles says, which presumably is why he isn't sendingthe transcript to the rest of the attenders who asked for it -- I would think tha tthe attendees who got it would pass it on to the attendees who didn't get it, as Al SAID the attendeesw could have it cassandraclaire73 says, drat Al for being in France. martinjh99 enters anna_l_milton says, And sure, I think we should arrange a time... € martinjh99 says, Good afternoon/morning/evening wherever you are! anna_l_milton says, Hang on, I have to go for a moment... Saitaina says, And those of us who no attend aren't allowed to know what hte hell's going on but anwya. anna_l_milton leaves Your buddy anna_l_milton leaves chat Your buddy anna_l_milton has gone off pager cassandraclaire73 says, i have heard only vague rumors which is sort of worse than nothing catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, martinjh99, I don't remember if we have already met and did I ask you for what name you want to be called? catlady_de_los_angeles The TXT list of chatter aliases is to be found at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/files/%20Chatter%27s%20List catlady_de_los_angeles The HTML list of chatter aliases is to be found at: catlady_de_los_angeles http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/files/%20chatterlist.html catlady_de_los_angeles This chat will be saved and posted on theYahoo Group : catlady_de_los_angeles http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/ sineadsiobhan says, I wasn't there for the heated part of the chat, I really understand why he didn't post. € martinjh99 says, Martin will do thanks! catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Martin Saitaina says, I haven't even heard a rumor..all I know was it's controversial which means REALLY bad concidering some of the chat's I've been in.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, REALLY BAD or AL IS PARANOID, which? cassandraclaire73 says, indeed, i can't see not posting it unless everyone was dissing someone who's feelings would be hurt later. € martinjh99 says, So what is the topic for conversation at the moment..? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Sinead can tell us which without viloating secrecy Saitaina says, Either or both...but he's probably not parinoid as he knows what we usually say and what get's posted...I mean I'm rarely censored and I say REALLy bad things at times. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Martin: at this VERY moment we are discssing a two weeks ago chat that is rumored to ahve been so CONTROVERSIAL that no one who was preswent will tak about it catlady_de_los_angeles says, but before that we were talking about writers block cassandraclaire73 says, It's like the Omerta. € martinjh99 says, Oh - I hadn't been here until last week... sineadsiobhan says, I would say the second one... Al not being here if he had posted wouldn't like the chatscript discussion w/o him being here selah_1977 enters selah_1977 says, Hello everyone! jferer says, Hi, Ebony! sineadsiobhan says, Hey Eb!

Glad to see you... maud_moody says, Hi, Ebony. cassandraclaire73 says, ebony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! selah_1977 says, Hi, everyone! € martinjh99 says, HI Ebony - Hope you had a nice birthday!!! catlady_de_los_angeles says, this year the main reason for me having writers block is that I'm asleep .... when I really haven't had enough sleep, my brain can fall asleep even while my body stays awake catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi Ebony selah_1977 says, Urgh--birthdays. selah_1977 says, cassie!!!!!!!!!!!!!! catlady_de_los_angeles says, I stole your idea of Greeting Owls, have gotten good response already cassandraclaire73 says, happy birthday... selah_1977 says, Perfect, Rita... thanks! selah_1977 says, Happy belated to you too, dear! Saitaina says, Oh, Rita! Are we going to use the list for Yule as well as Samhain or just Samhain? martinjh99 : __ÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎÎ__ martinjh99 : lÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂl martinjh99 : lÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂl martinjh99 : lÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂl Happy Birthday € martinjh99 says, Thats for Ebony... selah_1977 says, I am a little annoyed over OT-chatter... does anyone else think we have become insufferable? selah_1977 says, maud_moody shrugs maud_moody says, HP4GU is still better than a lot of lists I've been on. selah_1977 says, Yes, that's true. sineadsiobhan says, Hmm... maud_moody says, I really don't have a problem with it. Saitaina says, Which part of OT Eb? The over long discussion of what's going on on the main list? cassandraclaire73 says, i haven't participated but... selah_1977 says, But that can change overnight, Rebecca. maud_moody says, I certainly never felt ill-treated by anyone on the list... maud_moody says, ...even when I was a newbie. selah_1977 says, Like I said, that can change overnight. maud_moody says, But then, I'm a net.veteran and I've already made all my mistakes on other lists. € martinjh99 says, I'm still a newbie to both lists though... selah_1977 says, I was on the list 14 months before I seriously got my feelings so hurt that I considered subbing. Saitaina says, I like both lists, I like everyone on the lists, I call everyone my friend and I think that we're all over reacting to a down moment...though I am mad only two people responded to my latest post selah_1977 says, unsubbing, rather. catlady_de_los_angeles says, is it better to endure posts which are insufferable, or to impose censorship on some people's sincerity? Saitaina says, I've been on since....who knows and I never got my feelings hurt...okay I've been snubbed but that's the way it works with a large group. cassandraclaire73 says, so what makes the posts insufferable? repetitiveness? selah_1977 says, So? You can be a net vet and still be annoyed over stupidity. sineadsiobhan says, I didn't want to post at HPFGU.... in case the topic was not covered hermitchick is away (Auto-Away) selah_1977 says, Cassie... I don't know. The teens don't bother me. sineadsiobhan says, take out the not € martinjh99 says, When I made my first post I did check on the archives about what I wanted to say just incase... Saitaina says, The netspeak and shortened works get to me...but then again I use omg and brb so...I should shut up cassandraclaire73 says, I think we've come to a point where everything that could be discussed has been. It's been OVER A YEAR. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Martin, do you read the posts on the main group, on the Off Topic group, do you feel it is cliquish and insular and rude to newcomers? maud_moody says, I dI really haven't seen that much stupidity either. It seems to me just like... any large crowd, anywhere. There are people you get along with really well, a lot of people you sort of know as cordial acquaintances, and a few who rub you the wrong way. selah_1977 says, Exactly, Cassie. cassandraclaire73 says, I've come to miss the ship wars, Saitaina says, Yes but it's fun to re-has the rare...it's the overly repeated and obvious that gets annoying. cassandraclaire73 says, at least then people get excited. maud_moody says, It's been over a year for you. Not for everyone. selah_1977 says, All the fun stuff has been banned. catlady_de_los_angeles says, NO SHIP WARS!!!!!!!!!!! maud_moody finds ship wars tedious too catlady_de_los_angeles says, oh god I hate ship wars sineadsiobhan says, lol Your buddy johnwalton_crazyivan is in chat johnwalton_crazyivan enters cassandraclaire73 says, *giggles I miss them.... selah_1977 says, LOL! Saitaina says, No ships...no one ever likes my ships and they ewe me... € martinjh99 says, I didn't think anyone was rude at all to me being a newbie - I was a bit reluctant to post at first but overcame it... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi John cassandraclaire73 says, I know it hassn't been over a year for everyone, i think they should be free to discuss already-discussed topics, but I just....haven't read the messages in over a month. Saitaina says, Everyone's usually nice to newbies it's just when they state the obvious without doing a few bits of reserch first that everyone gets touching. Hi John maud_moody says, I've been running my list for five years now, and it has been three years since the author published her last book. We have discussed everything to death, so it's fairly low-traffic at the moment, but the list is there if anybody thinks of something new, and on rare occasions somebody does. *shrugs again* sineadsiobhan says, I just told Dai I was in here, "oh, right." jferer says, All the fun stuff HAS been banned. It's too hard to figure out what's acceptable and where... all the old veterans are gone, or partly gone. The list doesn't look anything like it did. selah_1977 says, Hey, John. cassandraclaire73 says, I wish Dai would reconsider. jferer says, John, how are you? sineadsiobhan says, hey jon! € martinjh99 says, But having just read the series and in the process of getting the books for myself... cassandraclaire73 says, *glomps John* maud_moody says, Maybe it's just me, but I honestly don't find the list rules constraining. € martinjh99 says, It is really interesting reading what everyone thinks about them. maud_moody says, But then, I have nothing to compare it to. It hasn't changed that much since I joined in March, IMO. Saitaina says, Hey, Sinead, tell Dai hi for me please...not that he knows me but still... maud_moody says, Hey, I came up with what I think might be a new idea the other day... selah_1977 says, Rebecca, perhaps you think that the concerns aren't valid, but there are people with concern. Don't you think you're being just a tad dismissive? jferer says, I do find them constraining. maud_moody says, I'm not dismissing anyone. I'm just saying how I personally feel. cassandraclaire73 says, I think the oldies and probably the newbies too are just to the point where they're yearning for book 5 so there will be new stuff to discuss. maud_moody says, Just so people know that not everybody is upset / offended / worried. Saitaina says, I agree Cass...it's a point were we've discussed everything we can come up with..now we want fresh meet selah_1977 says, Okay, that's valid, Rebecca. I was just wondering... just expressing my feelings as well. Saitaina says, meat catlady_de_los_angeles says, The rules -- banning all the 'fun' stuff??? -- surely not ALL, or I wouldn't always find so much that i WANT to reply too maud_moody says, No, I'm not saying you're wrong, Ebony. I'm just saying that I'm looking at it from a different perspective. jferer says, It's natural to a degree. We have covered a lot of ground. cassandraclaire73 says, I haven't wanted to reply to anything since ..... I think my last post was in April. maud_moody says, You've been on the list much longer than I have, so you know what it used to be like and can compare. I can't. selah_1977 says, But I can't understand why it's so bad to re-discuss. sineadsiobhan says, my sister's finally reading HP... that's a year of nagging her to read HP maud_moody says, We re-discuss all the time anyway. selah_1977 says, I understand the sentiment, Cassie. Saitaina says, I barey reply to things anymore...my posts get lost among the clutter and I feel left out cassandraclaire73 says, But that doesn't mean I feel like that's the list's fault. To a certain extent it's just my own waning interest. selah_1977 says, Yeah, Rebecca, but whenever I do (this has happened three times) I get "That has been DISCUSSED already". catlady_de_los_angeles says, Ebony, now I'm confused, of what is Rebecca being dismissive, people who are elitist against newmembers or teenager, or people who find the main list too repetitive? jferer says, There's nothing wrong with re-discussing. I could even stand another "how many students" debate, which is saying something. cassandraclaire73 says, lol cassandraclaire73 says, but could you stand another 'gleam in dumbledore's eye' debate? maud_moody says, Well, I haven't posted very often lately (too busy writing etc.) so perhaps that's why I haven't had any problem personally. But even if somebody did say to me "that's been discussed already", I don't take that as a personal attack. Saitaina says, I don't mind the re-hashing....sometimes. I just mind the getting lost among the posts and not being able to keep up with everything and the feeling that my questions aren't important. selah_1977 says, Okay, Rebecca. I'm just crazy. Never mind. New topic. cassandraclaire73 says, You're not crazy. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think it is very cool that Steve refers those questions to the Lexicon. I think he has every RIGHT to self-promote maud_moody says, No, Ebony, I didn't mean that as an attack on YOU... maud_moody buries head in hands € martinjh99 says, I think Steves site is cool to be honest! jferer says, Anything I've posted hasn't drawn a reply lately. Saitaina says, brb-need a drink, pills are making me ill maud_moody says, I'll just shut up now. cassandraclaire73 says, I think everyone's feeling a bit ignored. And the tone of the list HAS changed. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Saitaina, I read eveyr post on the lists that I post on but I don't always have anything to say to them selah_1977 says, Cassie--basically. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jim, too. SOme posts the only thing to say is I Agree or LOLl. Saitaina says, Thanks Rita...I just want to know someone's reading them cassandraclaire73 says, But 'the good old days' discussions rarely go anywhere positive. selah_1977 says, Exactly! martinjh99 gives jferer a big hug. selah_1977 says, Like the ones we deal with in fanon. selah_1977 says, Schnoogles, Rebecca. cassandraclaire73 says, Look at the ff-neters who hated everyone who hadn't been on the first 20 pages of posted fics. jferer says, Thank you! selah_1977 says, Exactly! catlady_de_los_angeles says, on the other hand, Barb confessed that she only reads 24 hours worth of posts in 48 or 60 hours, which means she hs missed some of MINE cassandraclaire73 says, And that first 20 pages of fics *coughs quietly* sucked. maud_moody says, I skim the group like crazy, myself. martinjh99 leaves martinjh99 enters martinjh99 leaves martinjh99 enters selah_1977 says, I used to have it on indie e-mails... I used to rush home and read postings! martinjh99 gives Saitaina a big hug. selah_1977 says, This was back in January, right before I got sick. Saitaina says, Cass...every two out of three fics on ffn sucks...no offense but seriously! But that's not an issue and someone needs to hit me with a shoe for that maud_moody says, Want to hear my wild and possibly (but probably not) new theory about McGonagall? cassandraclaire73 says, yeah...I did too. I miss those days but I think when Book 5 comes out it will be like that again. selah_1977 says, Yeah! sineadsiobhan says, how is it that there are so many FF.net writers focusing on Harry Potter? Saitaina says, Thank you martin *gives a hug back* selah_1977 says, Go on, Rebecca... new theory! maud_moody says, She's around the same age as Voldy, no? Late 60's early 70's? € martinjh99 says, Hope you get well so Saitana... Saitaina says, Sure love, tell us all about Minnie selah_1977 says, Right... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes cassandraclaire73 says, Because there's no other central clearinghouse for HP fic like gossamer or fanfix or whatever. maud_moody says, I mean age, not decade... maud_moody says, So were they at Hogwarts together -- Tom and Minerva? Saitaina says, Oh I'm well love, I just made a stupid mistake and took a Black Beauty € martinjh99 says, Cassie - Isnt there one at fictionalley.org?? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Pippin is writing a fic in which Minerva is IIRC the same year as Hagridi selah_1977 says, Speaking of missing, we missed *you* this summer, Cassie... cassandraclaire73 says, There is NOW. *grins* maud_moody finds that a very interesting thought cassandraclaire73 says, I know. Sorry. selah_1977 says, Have you read Dreamwalk Blue, Rebecca? maud_moody says, No... jferer says, You go where the audience is. The one thing that FF.net had that no place else has is the review mechanism. catlady_de_los_angeles says, now that we have established the timing, what is the theory? cassandraclaire73 says, How is Metis related to Minerva? I forgot. Saitaina says, Speaking of DWB...where can I find it now that FFN is down? selah_1977 says, That's an excellent fic with Tom and Minerva's niece... maud_moody says, I just wondered what they thought of each other, that's all. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jim, Fictionalley has review mechanism cassandraclaire73 says, On fictionalley.org, obviously selah_1977 says, At least I think that's her niece... catlady_de_los_angeles says, Saitana, isn't it on fictionalley cassandraclaire73 says, yes, fictionalley has the review mechanism. jferer says, I posted my fics in the Files area. I have no idea how many people ever looked at them from there. I get that with ff.net. Saitaina says, Okay, slap me now *glares at herself* maud_moody imagines a tragic, doomed Tom Riddle / Minerva romance cassandraclaire73 says, and it tells you hits and ratings. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jim, I know the feeling € martinjh99 says, I must have a look at fictionalley - Looking for some good non-slash Fanfic... maud_moody says, Though I've no intention of writing it. maud_moody says, Martin -- read mine. Saitaina says, *evil glare at anyone not wanting to read slash* cassandraclaire73 says, yes go look at fictionalley. *poke* johnwalton_crazyivan is away (Auto-Away) selah_1977 says, Rebecca--Viola's already done it. Personally I think she is one of the best pre-canon writers in the fandom. jferer says, I didn't know that... I should look more. € martinjh99 says, Maud>Where are they posted then..? maud_moody says, Oh, okay then. selah_1977 says, Her historical detail, writing skill, etc. is perfect. maud_moody says, http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/R_J_Anderson cassandraclaire73 says, selah_1977 says, Cassie... ETA for DV, please. sineadsiobhan says, I have a wee question about schnoogle.com cassandraclaire73 says, it's done. maud_moody says, Although the latest chapter of the third story is only up at http://www.sugarquill.com/authors/rjanderson.html at the moment. selah_1977 says, ETA... cassandraclaire73 says, wednesday. selah_1977 says, Perfect! Saitaina says, *glomps Cass* maud_moody says, Oh, drat, baby woke up. cassandraclaire73 says, it needs beta-ing and we're trying something experimental with it on schnoogle maud_moody sighs heavily catlady_de_los_angeles says, what was Sinead's ? about schnoogle? selah_1977 says, Have fun, Cassie... selah_1977 says, Not Cassie, Rebecca I meant... sineadsiobhan says, if you put a fic up, do you have to pay for the space used? cassandraclaire73 says, lol! we're trying to make an illustrated version with links to artisticalley. cassandraclaire73 says, what??? pay for it? no. Saitaina says, brb-phone maud_moody says, Ebony: I'll try to remember to read Dreamwalk Blue one of these days... although I generally am not into pre-canon fics. I dunno why, but the Marauders Era and earlier just doesn't interest me... neither do the Founders. Your buddy hermitchick leaves chat hermitchick leaves catlady_de_los_angeles says, No payment jferer says, Did you know you turned yourself Italian the other day, Cassie? You were down as "Cassandra Caleri" in a post. selah_1977 says, It's free, Sinead... sineadsiobhan says, another question... do you have to learn HTML? cassandraclaire73 says, lol! e vero? sineadsiobhan says, I know nothing about HTML cassandraclaire73 says, No, you don't. Saitaina leaves catlady_de_los_angeles says, Amber reanna very kindly htmlized my story for me sineadsiobhan says, hmm... selah_1977 says, Maud--it didn't used to interest me, but between Viola and A.L. Milton I am becoming very interested. sineadsiobhan thinks about posting on Schnoogle selah_1977 says, You should! cassandraclaire73 says, just put on a proper header and send it to the fictionalley mods and there you are. cassandraclaire73 says, there's no reason not to. selah_1977 says, Everyone should post at FictionAlley! catlady_de_los_angeles says, the save as html from WORD 2000 makes a messy output cassandraclaire73 says, they can html it for you. dracomalfoy05 enters catlady_de_los_angeles says, someone should cameo Cassandra Caleri -- she is So Hot jferer says, Somebody else learns that the Emperor Word has no clothes. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, draco/Matt cassandraclaire73 says, fictionalley beats ff.net by miles. selah_1977 says, And ooh!

I didn't think he was boorish in RL at all. Saitaina says, I mean come on...I'm the one who usually annoys everyone...I have no room to judge. catlady_de_los_angeles says, one of the comments in the 'offensive' chat was: "Dai is OK in RL" Saitaina says, I rather like Dai (even though I only know him here) occationally he's loudmouthed but then again so am I and he's fun. maud_moody says, TTYL, everybody... cassandraclaire73 says, I won't say he hasn't offended me before because that would be a lie. But so what? selah_1977 says, Bye, Rebecca. cassandraclaire73 says, The nature of chat is that it's easy for misunderstandings to arise catlady_de_los_angeles says, bb rebecca cassandraclaire73 says, bb rebecca jferer says, bye, Rebecca! johnwalton_crazyivan is back. maud_moody leaves johnwalton_crazyivan :bounces in:: Hi yall selah_1977 says, Exactly, Cassie. catlady_de_los_angeles says, hi john, the latest topic is dAI selah_1977 says, Rita, nothing in that was meant to be offensive. jferer says, Hi, John, again. johnwalton_crazyivan realises that he's been signed in to the chat for a while...D'oh selah_1977 says, BUT one of the alleged points of contention was something that some of those who have met him commented on his RL behavior.

LOL catorman says, What? € martinjh99 says, While we are on favourite authors - Terry Prattchett and Robert Rankin to name two... Saitaina says, Ms. Hamilton is a very nice writer selah_1977 says, LOL, Cassie! selah_1977 says, Have you seen him interviewed? johnwalton_crazyivan says, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/database?method=reportRows&tbl=9 catorman says, I don't know anything about Orson Scott Card - only read the books. selah_1977 says, I know he hates fanfic, but I love all his books. catorman says, How is he a horrible person? selah_1977 says, Will not read the Homecoming series. Have read everything else. sineadsiobhan says, what does Orson Scott Card write? cassandraclaire73 says, He's very homophobic. selah_1977 says, Sci-fi and fantasy. cassandraclaire73 says, that's why i don't like him. selah_1977 says, Cassie--he's a devout Mormon. johnwalton_crazyivan is definitely not reading any of his stuff catorman says, Is he? Oh dear, no - I don't like that either. cassandraclaire73 says, Which is his business, but I don't have to like him, do I? Saitaina says, brb selah_1977 says, Nope. jferer says, _Ender's Game_ is a classic of the genre. catlady_de_los_angeles says, flowery writing that I lov e--name on tip of tongue -- the series with Azahrn and the other four Princes of evilness... selah_1977 says, I didn't know he was a homophobe. cassandraclaire73 says, plenty of writers who i would not want to meet in real life write wonderful books. jferer says, I have never read or heard Card interviewed. cassandraclaire73 says, TS Eliot hated jews. *shrug* catorman says, I hate it when things you read start to colour because of what you know about them. jferer says, didn't know much about him, actually. Saitaina says, brb-running to the store Saitaina is away (Draco: She's...gone HARRY: Very gone, but she'll be back DRACO: Unfortunatly NEVILLE *whaps Draco with a broomstick before loking around innocently*) jferer says, I did see him at a Worldcon, though. selah_1977 says, I like him because he writes ethnic characters into his work and deals with religion. Most sci-fi/fantasy writers don't. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Zenna Henderson is/was a very devout Mormon and her "People" series doesnt say ANYTHING abut homosexuality one way or the other cassandraclaire73 says, yes, true, not all mormon's have an identikit set of beliefs. I dated a mormon. sineadsiobhan says, One of my professors were talking about T. S. Eliot, said that he didn't like revealing his personal life for that people would have a different view of his books catlady_de_los_angeles says, Eb: Octavia Butler catorman says, I haven't read much - only just started Xenocide. selah_1977 says, Rita--one splash in a sea that I find monotonous at time. selah_1977 says, times. cassandraclaire73 says, eeek...don't read Xenocide before Ender's Game catorman says, No - I've read Ender's Game and its sequel. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Eb, yes, she won a MacArthur Fellowship for being so unique catorman says, I always read in order. selah_1977 says, I've read all of Butler, of course. cassandraclaire73 says, I love Ender's Game. selah_1977 says, Me too. catorman says, So did I. cassandraclaire73 says, yay! € martinjh99 says, BRB selah_1977 says, My favorite OSC book is "Pastwatch", though. cassandraclaire73 says, Lori's is "Wyrms." selah_1977 says, Cool! € s_ings says, I haven't read any of these, I MUST get myself to a library soon! catorman says, Ebony - reread all the Emily books this week.

I can mail you a list of good ones. johnwalton_crazyivan says, But read Susan Cooper's "The Dark Is Rising" sequence and Kim Stanley Robinson's Red/Green/Blue Mars. catorman says, Night, John cassandraclaire73 says, the Dark is Rising is brilliant. selah_1977 says, OK--will do... johnwalton_crazyivan says, Umm...Eb...it's been virtual.

Cassie, you know my background! € martinjh99 says, Thanks Rita catlady_de_los_angeles says, Xanth is funny by bein full ofp uns and rude jokes, but is very misogynist selah_1977 says, I thought it was EEEEEEVIL. cassandraclaire73 says, well it just means you have many brilliant books ahead of you. selah_1977 says, Yeah... I have a lot of catching up to do. € s_ings says, Apparently so do I, Eb cassandraclaire73 says, yeah, xanth isa bit misogynist. selah_1977 says, And a huge RL plot bunny that's been in my head for over a year now... I think that I may have found a genre that will accept me. catlady_de_los_angeles says, his Tarot/Cluster series is WORSE (for mysogyny) selah_1977 says, I have Dune... haven't started it yet... € s_ings says, Oh, it is, but I still like them. They're the only series of books hubby has read all the way through, too jferer is back. cassandraclaire73 says, No, Bio of a Space tyrant wins. selah_1977 says, MZB's Mists... catlady_de_los_angeles says, I hated DUNE cassandraclaire73 says, neevr could get thru Dune selah_1977 says, Cannot get into Dune. selah_1977 says, I also have a confession to make. selah_1977 says, I have purchased Tolkien... jferer says, and, Eb, definitely Marion Zimmer Bradley, starting with _The mists of Avalon_ selah_1977 says, And I read him when I was 14... selah_1977 says, The re-read is NOT going well. cassandraclaire73 says, i'll just head you off and say I HATE Tolkein. jferer says, Dune is tough to get through. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I didn't llike Mist of Avalon. I liked the earllier dARKOVER books, but at a certain point I gave up € martinjh99 says, Ebony - Dune is a good set of books - Not read all the series though selah_1977 says, THANKS, Cassie! I've been on "Fellowship" for 6 months. cassandraclaire73 says, Elves make me sick. selah_1977 says, And I get bored, and read something else. selah_1977 says, LOL! jferer says, i love LOTR. selah_1977 says, Why do you hate elves? selah_1977 says, I like them! € martinjh99 says, Eb Read Tolkein as well. They are good too. cassandraclaire73 says, I just hate Tolkein's elves € martinjh99 says, Cassie would you hate house elves as well..? € s_ings says, I love LOTR! € martinjh99 says, jferer says, Also read "Bored of The Rings" by the Harvard Lampoon. selah_1977 says, Martin, I am trying *so* hard... if I want to write fantasy I have to love Tolkien... *cries* cassandraclaire73 says, i hate house-elves MORE. selah_1977 says, LOL! catlady_de_los_angeles says, I odn't actually like Houe Elves selah_1977 loves House-Elves catlady_de_los_angeles says, It would benice to have the work get done € s_ings says, Oh, we have that one, Bored of the Rings, LOL € martinjh99 says, I would want one to tidy my room for me! cassandraclaire73 says, no, you don't have to love tolkein selah_1977 says, They're CUTE! catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don[t want them treated cruelly like the Malfoys treat theirs anna_l_milton leaves Your buddy anna_l_milton leaves chat jferer says, You don't have to love Tolkien, but anybody who is going to write fantasy has to deal with Tolkien on some level. catlady_de_los_angeles says, but they seem quite tiresome to interact with Your buddy anna_l_milton has gone off pager selah_1977 says, But didn't Tolkien establish the genre of high fantasy? € martinjh99 says, Rita would you be a member of SPEW then..? cassandraclaire73 says, it's better if you don't love tolkein...so much of epic fantasy seems like a tiresome rehash of tolkein. € s_ings says, Very true, Cassie cassandraclaire73 says, which i keep spelling wrong selah_1977 says, Of course what I'd write would be urban fantasy, but all the guides I've got say "YOU MUST READ TOLKIEN" in their subliminal messages. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Martin, as a Hogwartws student approached by Hermione, yes, in this life, I think Hermione would have accomplished more by starting a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to House Elves selah_1977 says, Right--Terry Brooks? cassandraclaire73 says, and Tad Williams cassandraclaire73 says, and Robert Jordan cassandraclaire73 says, and everyone else who can't seem to recall that a trilogy is THREE books. € martinjh99 says, selah_1977 says, *giggles!* jferer says, Terry Brooks is the cheap imitation of Tolkien, awful stuff € s_ings says, Agreed! € martinjh99 says, Cassie what do you think of Douglas Adams then - His trilogy ended up being 5/6 books as I recall... selah_1977 says, Whew. I thought I was intellectually deficient. cassandraclaire73 says, and the last 4-6 were pretty awful. selah_1977 says, About not being able to plow through Tolkien, I mean... € martinjh99 says, Funny stuff though... selah_1977 says, Douglas Adams is great! selah_1977 says, I like Terry Pratchett too, but he is no Douglas Adams. catlady_de_los_angeles says, To me, Tolkien didn'[t establish the genre of High Fantasy (altho' he invented a marvelous universe and wrote good books), he merely brought tghe stuff he studied from Old and Middle ENglish into Modern English and novel writing style € martinjh99 says, Ebony - Glad to hear theres some more fans too... cassandraclaire73 says, I love douglas adams! i just sort of lost interest in the Hitchiker trilogy after L, TE, a E selah_1977 says, Oh, of course! I loved all his books. cassandraclaire73 says, agrees with Rita jferer says, You have to deal with Tolkien; IOW, you have to decide if you're going to walk the same ground Tolkien did or go in a different direction. € martinjh99 says, Huh?? Which one was that Cassie? cassandraclaire73 says, Life the Universe and Everything fialyn enters € martinjh99 says, DOH! cassandraclaire73 says, selah_1977 says, Jim--different direction. I want to use African-American/African/American myth instead of the Old World. catlady_de_los_angeles says, hi fialyn, € martinjh99 says, Hey there! fialyn says, hello...! € s_ings says, Hello catlady_de_los_angeles says, do you have a name to put in Chatter Nickname List? catlady_de_los_angeles The TXT list of chatter aliases is to be found at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/files/%20Chatter%27s%20List catlady_de_los_angeles The HTML list of chatter aliases is to be found at: catlady_de_los_angeles http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/files/%20chatterlist.html catlady_de_los_angeles This chat will be saved and posted on theYahoo Group : catlady_de_los_angeles http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/ fialyn says, Oh, this is Meril.... selah_1977 says, Hello there! jferer says, Hi, Meril! € martinjh99 says, Hi Meril selah_1977 says, That's why OSC's Alvin Maker series was so interesting to me... magic as it works in America... including Native American and slave traditions. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Eb, direction of Tolkien: high diction, mythic catorman leaves selah_1977 says, Everything takes place in Europe or a pseudo-Europe. Which is fine, but nothing I could ever write. catlady_de_los_angeles says, we are seeing Tolkien;s characters' actions as if from a adistance of time, so seeing ntheir h eroism but not seeing them scratch their asses selah_1977 says, Right--it's an epic... selah_1977 says, I do plan to see the movie. catlady_de_los_angeles says, very unlike HP selah_1977 says, Then perhaps I'll get interested in the books. fialyn says, It's one of the reasons I can actually see the movie: in LOTR, the plot and setting are much more important than the characters themselves. selah_1977 says, Abanes' take on Tolkien is hilarious BTW. fialyn says, and what would that be? catlady_de_los_angeles says, EB: if its hilarous tell us € martinjh99 says, I think HP is cool... Ive only got Goblet of Fire myself so far... Read them from the library... selah_1977 says, He thinks that in Tolkien there is no grey area, whereas in HP all the characters are morally reprehensible. selah_1977 says, He understands NOTHING about the Ring. selah_1977 says, Stupid. € s_ings says, Martin! When's your birthday, we gotta get you books! catlady_de_los_angeles says, Tolkien was very devout Christian -- what kind of Catholic? -- and put archangels ad the Fall and so on in his newly created universe and would be cassandraclaire73 says, he is a huge idiot and mistakes depicting a character taking an action with tacitly approving of that action. fialyn says, No grey in Tolkien? hahahahaha...he hasn't read any of the background notes from the series apparently selah_1977 says, Just because you are a devout Christian doesn't mean your work has to preach at people. Idiot. catlady_de_los_angeles says, horrified that there are Wiccans who take Galadriel as an Avatar of the Goddess fialyn says, I'd think Tolkien might have been a bit disturbed by that actually... cassandraclaire73 says, anyone ever read Diana Wynne Jones' Dark Lord of Derkholm? selah_1977 says, I have been told that a thousand times by fellow believers. fialyn says, I read the first chapter. selah_1977 says, No, not yet... € martinjh99 says, Yeah - Funny catlady_de_los_angeles says, Give Abanes as much credit as he deserves: there is nothing in HP to indicate that JKR disapproved of the kids stealing herbs to make the Polyujuice POtion, even tho' stealing is a sin cassandraclaire73 says, It had a character named Galadriel. A short, fat, angry dwarf. selah_1977 says, LOL! selah_1977 says, Why do elves annoy you, Cassie? cassandraclaire73 says, They're just so...foofy. selah_1977 says, LOL! fialyn says, Foofy? That would depend on the elf in question. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't disapprove of the kids having stolen the herbs, a small theft for a good cause, Snape easily got replacement cassandraclaire73 says, Oh they're always mroe beautiful than humans, and taller, and there are never any FAT elves, and they always looks pitying on people for not understanding their Great Elf Wisdom. jferer says, When you say "elves", it could be any of a dozen things. Elves have been described a zillion ways over the years. selah_1977 says, I posed some RL questions to Abanes in an offlist e-mail. selah_1977 says, LOL! But not in JKR's work, though! cassandraclaire73 says, those are house-elves and i hate them even more. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cassie, that is there job: to be an archetype of the Lost Golden Age selah_1977 says, For the same reason you hate Hagrid? fialyn says, Hmm. Anyone familiar with "Record of Lodoss War"? cassandraclaire73 says, i think i mentioned earlier how much discussion of Lost Golden Ages annoys me. € s_ings says, What kind of questions did you ask Abanes, Eb? catlady_de_los_angeles says, they are half-angel, as Gandalf is all angel cassandraclaire73 says, I hate Hagrid because he is the Jar-Jar Binks of the HP world. € martinjh99 says, Guys gonna go - Catch ya all next week and on the list! selah_1977 says, Um... let me go look. € s_ings says, Bye, Martin catlady_de_los_angeles says, by by Martin selah_1977 says, OK!

Maybe one week we'll actually chat about Harry!!! cassandraclaire73 says, maybe i just hate them because they're naturally thin. martinjh99 leaves catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cassie, well, it is the fault of Tolkien's genre rather than the fault of the elves, but that diesnt matter € s_ings says, Have you had any answer yet, Eb? cassandraclaire73 says, (elves) fialyn says, As in "his mistakes are supposed to be cute", or in the dialect area? selah_1977 says, WHY does the idea of a Lost Golden Age annoy you? I quite like it. cassandraclaire73 says, the dialect area. selah_1977 says, Not yet, Sheryll. fialyn says, It's the former that annoys me about Hagrid. selah_1977 says, And it's in a lot of literature... the theme of mankind losing its innocence. cassandraclaire73 says, I was referring to the fanon discussion of how things used to be better before the 'newbies.' That Lost Golden Age. catlady_de_los_angeles says, IIRC Cassie doesn't like CALL OF ThE WILD (Wolfie Twins, not Jack London) selah_1977 says, OH!!! cassandraclaire73 says, Nope, I didn't. selah_1977 says, *is in STITCHES* € s_ings says, I really liked Call of the Wild selah_1977 says, Cassie! Wow--you said it publicly? selah_1977 says, *is in awe* € s_ings says, One of the first fanfics I read cassandraclaire73 says, said what? that i didn't like CoW? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Eb, not about lost innocence, but about gods/angels mingled with humans who were taller and stronger and more beautiful than modern humans selah_1977 says, Right. cassandraclaire73 says, Yep. And a whole host of people agreed. selah_1977 says, LOL! selah_1977 says, Yeah, me included. fialyn says, Didn't L'Engle have a novel about that? "Many Waters"? selah_1977 says, Yes, she did. cassandraclaire73 says, It's not terrible, justnot my cup of tea. selah_1977 says, *likes L'Engle* catlady_de_los_angeles says, I thnk its Hesiod that I am citing.... fialyn says, It's been about 10 years since I read that one, though. selah_1977 says, Right... darkfics usually get on my nerves. cassandraclaire73 says, yep. angst, angst, woe. selah_1977 says, Ooh, Rita... Atlantaen legends, etc € s_ings says, Well, to each their own fialyn says, I like dark fiction, but haven't read many good darkfics. selah_1977 says, Atlantis-en? selah_1977 says, Atlantan? cassandraclaire73 says, yep. I still want C o W for fictionalley.... it really is well-written. selah_1977 says, Nah, that's a person from Atlanta. fialyn says, Legends of Georgia? catlady_de_los_angeles says, Atlantean, right the first time catlady_de_los_angeles says, Phoenician is a person from Phoenix (that IS what they call themselves) fialyn says, I haven't read that fic in the first place... selah_1977 says, CotW is very well-written. I felt horrible for not enjoying it as I thought I should. cassandraclaire73 says, So did I. catlady_de_los_angeles says, probably Georgia has good legends -- the one where Jason found Medea ad te Golden Fleece fialyn says, There are lots of well-written stories and novels that aren't enjoyable. Don't feel bad. cassandraclaire73 says, I kept thinking "eventually i will care what happens.' but --nope. selah_1977 says, LOL! selah_1977 says, Yeah! cassandraclaire73 says, *bonds with Ebony* catlady_de_los_angeles says, I enjoyed CotW. Person who hsan;t read ityet, try it and see if yu like it selah_1977 says, LOL, Rita--yeah, Colchis and stuff. selah_1977 says, ;-) at Cassie. fialyn says, I'm staying away from most fanfic, actually. selah_1977 says, Meril--wise decision. cassandraclaire73 says, probably wise. It is a slippery slope. catlady_de_los_angeles says, fialyn, yu hve fallen among a nest of fanfic writers € s_ings says, Yeah, and it's an addiction, too! fialyn says, I'm ficced out. Read a lot of it last fall, but now I'm just looking at fanart. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Sheryl, have ou posted any fanfic? selah_1977 says, Yes, it is Sheryll... cassandraclaire73 says, I'm ficced out too... fialyn says, I write fanfic, but it's mostly undone. € s_ings says, Nope, I'm not particularly good at that kind of thing selah_1977 says, Cassie--I am too.

Lakshmi sits with his feet in her lap fanning him and a lotus grows out of his bellybutton, which is the World. elvenwren is back. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Padma/Maya/Lila pippin_999 says, Oh, makes a connection with the lotus then. That works. catlady_de_los_angeles says, and one time someone (Brahma? I don'[t remember) awokehim to tell him of the demons endangering the earth, so he plucked a blue-black hair from his own body and a white hair catlady_de_los_angeles says, from the serpent, and dropped them so they floated them to earth. where they were pippin_999 says, A hairy serpent? pippin_999 says, Or is that a Harry serpent? catlady_de_los_angeles says, accidentally swallwedby two womena dn the blackhair became Krishna and the white hair became his first dcousin Balarama (I'd say Ron to Krishna's Harry, but Krishna was as bad as all four marauders put together especiallyu catlady_de_los_angeles says, if Sirius was as big a slut as some people think) pippin_999 says, Oh yes, I know about Krishna catlady_de_los_angeles says, I wondered about the serpent having hair when I reqd the story, bu8t don't know the answer catlady_de_los_angeles says, maybe Madhuri on the list knows, as her family as Vishnaivas pippin_999 says, I have some books on mythology but they are pretty dense. catlady_de_los_angeles says, and my non-book info comes from a Shivaya, if I spelled that right elvenwren says, Any good ones, Pippin? pippin_999 says, I'll see if I can find something about it. The South Americans have feathered serpent, so why not a hairy one elvenwren says, I'm fascinated by mythology.. elvenwren says, though I only know Roman/Greek mythology.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I am convinced gthatg Thunderbird shiold be in Fabulous Beasts pippin_999 says, I have a two volume encyclopedia of world myths translated from French... catlady_de_los_angeles says, and think maybe it is much the same animal as coatls elvenwren says, I thought FB was missing a lot.. pippin_999 says, the stories are great but almost buried in Levy-Strauss style cultural anthro catlady_de_los_angeles says, The Larousse. Much of it is ..... for hmor value. The South AMerican section by a man who only talks about Levi-Staruss, the Hindu section catlady_de_los_angeles says, by a man who explains that unlike the rest of this book, the stories from Hinduism are not myths because they really happenedn elvenwren says, interesting.. I must read other myths.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I have a book I like MUCH BETTER which was editted by Richard Cavendish and ntitle Illustrated Encyclpeidai of Myuthology catlady_de_los_angeles says, I mentioned editor firstr not because I have any idea who he is, but because a couple ofy ears ago I sAw the same book back on sale with a different titlei pippin_999 says, have to go check what's on my shelf brb elvenwren says, Thanks so much.. I really appreciate it.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, IIRC the one I like was pubbed by Rizzoli when I bought it pippin_999 says, I have the Cavendish too catlady_de_los_angeles says, my ex had a couple of volumes of a good multi-volume seies of World mytoholoy (it had some really origianl title like WORLD MYTHOLOGY) which was British catlady_de_los_angeles says, (as was he) and I couldn't find it over he andnow I know longer remember title/editor elvenwren says, I must find some good books.. elvenwren says, It will be interesting reading myths in english.. pippin_999 says, I have Celtic Mythology by MacCana, that's not bad. catlady_de_los_angeles says, anyway, the feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl is a great god whose name is Quetzal (quetzal feathers being the most beautiful and valuable jewel) and coatl pippin_999 says, What is your native language Vikki? elvenwren says, English.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, but coatl was a generic world for 'feathered serpent' or 'cloud warrior' and they all brught rain and storm, so it could be the same as Thunderbird, says I elvenwren says, but I read mythology (Greco-Roman) almost exclusively in Latin.. elvenwren says, I have a bit of an obsession with the entire Greco-Roman era.. pippin_999 says, Oh....I had to do Ovid in high school (when dinos roamed the earth) catlady_de_los_angeles says, Vikki and I had a funny converstaion where she knows all the Latin names and the rituals of the three types of Roman weddings and I catlady_de_los_angeles says, knew their legal aspects (inheritance, etc) but not their names pippin_999 says, LOL elvenwren says, That was funny.. and very confusing.. elvenwren says, well.. from others' points of view. catlady_de_los_angeles says, and they might be someting like pterosaurs, as feathered flying reptiles, I mean scaly birds catlady_de_los_angeles says, I hope it helped Eb with her fic research -- I hope it decided her NOT to give Draco ad Ginny a Roman wedding pippin_999 says, Good on that, I really didn't want to think about Draco in a toga elvenwren says, Which I'm not happy about. catlady_de_los_angeles says, and if they are that close to reptile, surely they could ahve fangs in their beaks, and venom as well as shotting lightning elvenwren says, A Roman wedding would have been perfect.. kamma_l leaves catlady_de_los_angeles says, perfect for what? Ginny would NEVER sign up to be her husband's property, to beat, kill, or sell into slavery at his whim pippin_999 says, LOLO to Mr. Weasley in a toga catlady_de_los_angeles says, blading, slightloy stooped,midle-aged man in toga -- he would fit right in in real ancientn Rome kamma_l enters catlady_de_los_angeles says, wb Kamma elvenwren says, true.. Ginny would *never* want the customs of the wedding.. but the ceremony is interesting. pippin_999 says, I think they took Protestant vows elvenwren says, Ginny doesn't follow Roman law.. elvenwren says, She'd just go for the ceremony.. pippin_999 says, Mr. W. would have stood out with his red hair catlady_de_los_angeles says, I would like it very much if the state religon of wizarding Britain was actually a sort of worn down Druid/Roman mix rather than ANglican, but I dont think it is elvenwren says, Actually.. some women had red hair then.. no men that I can think of though.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, appaerntly they had a lot of red haird Celtic slaves, who were often freed and went into business and had slaves of their own pippin_999 says, Women probably dyed with henna catlady_de_los_angeles says, named Rufus and Flavius elvenwren says, I'm thinking about writing a fic based in Roman times.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, there is a poem (modren, in english, that I cant remember) about a Roman vase in a museum that says Rufus fecit on the bottom (did I spell t hat right>) pippin_999 says, Wizarding Rome...interesting elvenwren says, Very.. pippin_999 says, They weren't separated from the Muggles elvenwren says, I keep wanting to write it in latin though.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren, wtite it in Latin, then translate it to english pippin_999 says, Write it in Latin, then translate it into English pippin_999 says, (there's an echo in here) elvenwren says, The structure of Latin is too different to do that.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Pippin, I was tyring to thype that the wizarding folk would have been open andpublic and had high status civil service jobs in those days elvenwren says, Maybe I'll write one version in Latin and another (similar plot) in English.. kamma_l says, do you know Latin well? elvenwren says, yes.. kamma_l says, I took it in high school for 4 years...I wish I could remember any of it catlady_de_los_angeles thinks, maybe Vikki should go into the spell business, inventing spells for fic authors who need them...... elvenwren says, I will.. I don't have a problem with that.. pippin_999 says, Some high jobs, some not...I don't think the Stan Shunpikes of Roman times... pippin_999 says, had great prestige catlady_de_los_angeles says, He's jsut Stan Shunpike, but he is still a wizard and we aren't. We pay him money and respect to come to our house and wave his wand saying Accio! for our lost objects catlady_de_los_angeles says, we say "Wow! How does he do that?!" elvenwren says, ictures this as a Roman conversation. elvenwren says, hmm.. elvenwren says, I could almost see the romans doing that.. elvenwren says, depends.. there were a lot of not so smart romans.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, maybe Stan would be up to casting Stupefy on obsteperous animals or slaves pippin_999 says, Probably most people dabbled in what we'd call witchcraft. pippin_999 says, It would be hard to tell the real wizards from the frauds elvenwren says, definitely.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, there was a lot of very superstitious magic around, and fraudulent astrologeres, and presumably (I say purely on faith) some legitimate ones twoo elvenwren says, I think the greatest wizards either drew back from regular society or did not make themselves seem so magically powerful.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hey, vikii, do y ou know why the high priest of Jupiter Optimus Maximus was called Pontifex Maximus? pippin_999 says, I'm sure some astrologers were sincere about their craft elvenwren says, yes elvenwren says, ok.. some explanation.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, the whole society was very sincere about consulting the Sybilline books elspeth_orange enters catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi Elspeth € elspeth_orange says, hallo hallo. pippin_999 says, Hello catlady_de_los_angeles The TXT list of chatter aliases is to be found at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/files/%20Chatter%27s%20List catlady_de_los_angeles The HTML list of chatter aliases is to be found at: catlady_de_los_angeles http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/files/%20chatterlist.html € elspeth_orange says, hey, guys. catlady_de_los_angeles This chat will be saved and posted on theYahoo Group : catlady_de_los_angeles http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/ catlady_de_los_angeles says, we officially ended forty five minutesw ago but some of us are stil here € elspeth_orange says, hey rita? can you add elspeth as an alias for perenelle13, or vice-versa, or whatever you do? agh, i'm even confusing myself. ;> € elspeth_orange says, wahoo. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Perenell,e cool! elvenwren says, ack! € elspeth_orange says, i can only ever manage to show up late. € elspeth_orange says, story of my life! ;> elvenwren says, I typed too much and miChat deleted all of it.. € elspeth_orange says, la la la. € elspeth_orange grins at rita. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Elspeth, Perenelle, Cyn -- is orange trhe palce you are frim? € elspeth_orange says, agggh, it's too hot. mmf. € elspeth_orange says, ha. no. € elspeth_orange says, i just like orange. ;> catlady_de_los_angeles says, Wren, type it in notepad and copied pasted it line by line into chat € elspeth_orange says, so, we talking about anything interesting? catlady_de_los_angeles says, rome and latin pippin_999 says, Wizarding rome € elspeth_orange says, oooh, latin. € elspeth_orange says, hmm. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Elvenwren Vikki is the expert on Latin € elspeth_orange says, oh yeah? excellent. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I asked hier to explain the title Pontifex Maximus kamma_l is away (Auto-Away) kamma_l leaves Your buddy heiditandy is on pager elvenwren says, ack! € elspeth_orange says, i'm secretly an amateur classics geek with only a rudimentary knowledge of Latin; it's terribly sad. ;> elvenwren says, It keeps doing it.. elvenwren says, Hold on.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, while I was speculating on what job Stan Shunpike would have done in Rome if the wizards were very open to society elvenwren leaves elvenwren enters € elspeth_orange says, i suspect nothing terribly exciting... ;> selah_1977 enters catlady_de_los_angeles says, eb! pippin_999 says, Ebony!!! € elspeth_orange says, wahoo, eb-oh-nee. selah_1977 says, Hi! catlady_de_los_angeles says, You did put the D/G wedding in Rennaissane Venice didn['t you? selah_1977 says, Chat's wound down, right? elvenwren says, Say you didn't? catlady_de_los_angeles says, yes selah_1977 says, Yes, Rita... selah_1977 says, *sniff* elvenwren says, I'm hitting character limits.. elvenwren says, Why? pippin_999 says, Nobody here but us night owls catlady_de_los_angeles says, wren type,it in n otepad selah_1977 says, Hmm...

I don't think it is likely to be H/H or R/H.. selah_1977 says, Right... selah_1977 says, But I like any well-written fanfiction. selah_1977 says, If the author can make me believe it, I'll buy it. elvenwren says, me too.. I've learned not to care about the ship.. selah_1977 says, Just like I am a canon no-shipper. If JKR does it, whatever. elvenwren says, I've had some reluctance with Snape.. but now that's over.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think JKR is building up to Ron's attraction to Hermione playng a rol ein the plot. I wouldn't be surpriesed if JKR made Hermione at least termporarily reciprocate the feeling. pippin_999 says, I was rooting for the marriage in TiP, more than the ship selah_1977 says, I just want her to stop messing around! pippin_999 says, Hermione or JKR? selah_1977 says, And WRITE book 5! selah_1977 says, JKR. selah_1977 says, LOL! Hermione's a-ok. pippin_999 says, JKR is ghosting for Hermione. catlady_de_los_angeles says, if she DOES, I wonder if swhe will be able to make me believe it? selah_1977 says, LOL! selah_1977 says, Rita--not me. selah_1977 says, I didn't believe elements of GoF. pippin_999 says, What didn't you believe in GoF? selah_1977 says, Which means that I do not like it as much as I do PoA. I suspended disbelief from beginning to end. elvenwren says, I had a sudden thought.. on another fandom we were discussing that authors write through one character.. anyone have speculations about JKR? catlady_de_los_angeles says, so far I cannot stand the Hermione in TiP selah_1977 says, That she was actually going to write R/H. It strikes me as wrong. elvenwren says, It took me a long time to accept GoF.. selah_1977 says, Rita--yes, you've told me. catlady_de_los_angeles says, JKR has stated that HERMIONE is based on herself as a young swot elvenwren says, Really? selah_1977 says, Yes elvenwren says, I guess so.. catlady_de_los_angeles says, but Harry is viewpointn character pippin_999 says, I saw R/H coming from way far off... elvenwren says, But Hermione is no where near a well developed character.. selah_1977 says, I didn't. catlady_de_los_angeles says, I wonder whether I beleive that writers write from one characgter selah_1977 says, It jarred, Pippin. catlady_de_los_angeles says, maybe yu should explain taht elvenwren says, I don't believe they write from one character.. pippin_999 says, As soon as she had Ron knock out the troll selah_1977 says, Um... I'm not a professional writer yet, but... pippin_999 says, Otherwise she could have had Harry do it. selah_1977 says, You have to know ALL of the characters to some degree. elvenwren says, just that they develop that character more than the others.. and feel most comfortable with it.. selah_1977 says, LOL, Pippin! selah_1977 says, Come on! selah_1977 says, Are you serious? pippin_999 says, Yup. elvenwren says, None of you have read A Song of Ice and Fire by any chance? selah_1977 says, Hmm... not yet... pippin_999 says, No... pippin_999 says, That's D/G? elvenwren says, It's a real book. pippin_999 says, LOL... selah_1977 says, LOL~ catlady_de_los_angeles says, I havent read that, but I knw that I have to be both Severus and Draco when I've writing S/D elvenwren says, It's a very good book.. highly recommended.. pippin_999 says, I pretend I'm all the characters...that's the fun. elvenwren says, Anyway.. the author switches points of views between the characters.. some are more well developed than others.. selah_1977 says, Cool... that sounds interesting. pippin_999 says, People are getting hungry hereabouts...see you next week. catlady_de_los_angeles says, byby Pippin, havae fun, write yhour fanfic selah_1977 says, Bye! elvenwren says, Bye Pippin! selah_1977 says, And good luck with your fic! selah_1977 says, Send it to me when you finish~ selah_1977 says, ! pippin_999 says, Thanks! pippin_999 leaves george_weasleys_girlfriend enters george_weasleys_girlfriend says, You guys are STILL chatting!? elvenwren says, Yep.. we're still here. catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jana! elvenwren says, It's only 9:30 selah_1977 says, Oh, joy. george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Hey everyone! *waves* Hey Cat! george_weasleys_girlfriend says, Thanks, Eb. *scowls& catlady_de_los_angeles says, Eb took a break from chat george_weasleys_girlfriend says, *scowls* even selah_1977 says, LOL! selah_1977 says, Just kidding! george_weasleys_girlfriend says, *cries* No!

Honestly. I didn't come up with the behind the scenes plot until Chapter 4, actually. selah_1977 says, And it still is not H/H to be quite honest. catlady_de_los_angeles says, well, if she married a guy she knew she didn;t love without explaining to him, she had no business getting jealous and holding a grudge abouthim cheating on her selah_1977 says, LOL! selah_1977 says, Yeah, you have a point there. selah_1977 says, Well, I'd best get some housework done. selah_1977 says, Schnoogles! catlady_de_los_angeles says, She acts so unforgiving to him selah_1977 says, Actually? selah_1977 says, Cassie told me that she was too forgiving to him. catlady_de_los_angeles says, and unbending, and not willing to drop any of her priorities for his sake, selah_1977 says, Especially after what he did. selah_1977 says, So I guess it all depends on your PoV... everyone blamed someone in that fic. catlady_de_los_angeles says, IYeah, you made him be a jerk abaout concealing his child, but selah_1977 says, LOL! catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cassie is probaby biased because she herself never treated a man as badly as your Hermione treated your Ron selah_1977 says, LOL~ selah_1977 says, Have you? catlady_de_los_angeles says, treated men badly? from time to time selah_1977 says, Me too... catlady_de_los_angeles says, there is a limit to how many opportunties I get to do so selah_1977 says, I was definitely a lot like Hermione in my last relationship. selah_1977 says, Which ended very badly around the time I began TiP. selah_1977 says, So I guess I take criticism of her character personally. catlady_de_los_angeles pats Eb's hand selah_1977 says, LOL! selah_1977 says, It's OK, really. selah_1977 says, I just went through this "all men are pigs" phase. catlady_de_los_angeles says, okay. so go eqt your dinner, and don't let me starve you selah_1977 says, LOL! selah_1977 says, Dinner's over.
