There's your new reading list. :-)

Gwen mentioned a bit of judicious editing I did with the Snape FAQ:

See, my reasoning was that, since I technically *am* an editor of the 
document, by all means Editor #2, but still an editor, to the casual 
observer it would have looked like I was blowing my own horn.

"What was Snape's Task at the end of GoF? Well, for starters, I am a 
wonderful human being, and secondly, he's probably going back to spy on 
Lord Voldemort..."

See what I mean? ;-) I thought having my name in there as an editor was 
proof enough that I did some work.

Having said that, I do like these acronyms.

> > Goodness, Our Dear Disorder Elucidates Snape
> > Scintillatingly.

By this definition Gwen and I are co-GODDESSs.

And this from Eloise:

> S.A.C.R.E.D.C.O.W.
>
> Snapologist Above Censure; Rouser of Enthusiasm; Demon Coder and
> Organisational Whiz.

I like it! I'm enjoying the deification, especially witty to apply an 
embittered agnostic like myself.

I will also embrace the Cow-ness, seeing as my real name means "heifer" in 
Hebrew, I guess it's fitting enough. And Hathor seems cool, although I'm 
more of a Bastet girl in real life.

~Grateful!Porphyria, who will accept any title other than Mugwump, since 
she has some weird associations with that word thanks to William Burroughs

p.s. I think the Romantic Pairings FP is the only one not claimed for a 
link-check
