Isn't it romantic?
See what guilt can do--she spent the morning here.
Isn't it romantic?
She read the F.A.Q., and checked links without fear.
Two tiny little problems were the most she found.
Two questions for the FAQ list, if you're all around.
Isn't it romantic?
Here is her report; there isn't much to say.
Isn't it romantic? 
Now it's in your court, Porphyria, I pray.
Too many shipping links may drive me 'round the bend,
but it's fine, my friends:
Isn't this romance?


There are many links. Most of them work correctly.

The notable exception is that the OT-Chatter links at
the end of the FAQ have the wrong group name on them,
so they link to a group that does not exist. They
should link to "HPFGU-OTChatter" instead of
"HPforGrownups-OTChatter" and they should work fine.

One other correction:

Harry and Fleur is the only "Less Touted Pairing" that
is not in bold.

Two other suggestions:

1. Should there be some brief explanation as to why
there are messages linked in the PoU group? It might
be beneficial to explain that PoU is not any part of
HPfGU, but that many members are on that list and that
it discusses canon a lot... otherwise, someone might
be confused as to why they are being directed to a
fanfic list, or worse, be angry because they're
unaware it's a fanfic list and didn't want to be
directed there, etc.

2. This is NOT something to do right now, but a
suggestion for future updates to the FAQ's, especially
once we have the complete catalogue done. This FAQ
lists messages by location and in chronological order,
but gives no hint of what the messages actually
discuss. It's an intimidating list because there are
many, many links. I shudder to think what it would
look like if Penny'd done the romance FAQ at the
35,000 message mark, for example. It might be helpful
on a revision to group the messages by loose topic
first (i.e., general, SHIP, R/H vs. H/H, Yule Ball
argument, etc.) so that folks who want to indulge in
further reading don't have to wade into piles of posts
with no clue what thread they're accessing.

But that's not for now; that's for later.

The PoU thing we might want to do now. The bold thing
and the OTChatter thing we really must do now.

Otherwise, looks good to go.
