Subject: Poul Poul Anderson died at home near midnight, Tuesday July 31, 2001. He had come home that day to receive hospice care after kidney failure brought on by prostate cancer. His last day was spent with family and friends. He enjoyed his final meals, and especially a Jubilaeum akvavit and Carlsberg beer. He was pleased and warmed by the many e-mails he received from friends and strangers around the world who had been touched by his writing. Special thanks go to Diana Paxson, Geoff Kidd, and Gerry Nordley, who helped greatly in his homecoming. A memorial gathering is planned for 2pm, Saturday, August 4 at the First Unitarian Church of Oakland, 685 14th Street, Oakland. Following that, a small wake will be held at Greyhaven. Karen Anderson writes: Integer Vitae In Poul's last hours, messages poured in from strangers who told how they had learned honor and courage from his writing, courtesy and kindness from his personal example. Such tributes cannot be awarded, but only earned. He led his life without expecting to gain rewards or escape punishment in some other existence. He knew that good and evil arise from human nature, and believed it is our duty to choose the good. He was, in the words of the poet Horace, "integer vitae sclerisque purus" -- a man of blameless life and free of crime. From coriolan at ... Thu Aug 2 18:15:07 2001 From: coriolan at ...

This section has lots of information about the soundtrack, including the CD release date of Oct. 30, comments from Williams, recording session info, reports and opinions on released music, etc. They've even got a links page with a link to HPforGrownups! Here's the link to the main page: http://jwfan.net/ The HP news item should be near the top. Also, the Leaky Cauldron has a link to an MP3 of a four-minute concert version of "Hedwig's Theme". Williams conducted this at his recent Tanglewood concert. You can hear the occasional cough and applause at the end of the MP3, but it comes across pretty clear, albeit a bit soft. http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/ Again, the MP3 link should be near the top of the recent news section. Incidentally, the MP3 comes from a JWFan.Net message board. The reviews over there are all positive. They really know Williams and his music and they seem to be very enthusiastic about what they've heard. Malabud From joym999 at ... Wed Aug 8 16:03:29 2001 From: joym999 at ... (joym999 at ...)

With the recent arrival of the wonderful fanfiction archive resource at FictionAlley.org (run partially but in no way entirely by HPforGrownups grownups) to supplement the existing HP-related fanfic archives, the HPforGrownups Moderators have decided that, for reasons of space in our Files Section, we're going to ask everyone to please move their fanfic to FictionAlley.org or elsewhere (HP_FanFiction or SugarQuill, for example). You've got a couple of weeks before we start sending out emails to say "we're going to take this off the site", so the sooner the better! FictionAlley is a great, HP-fandom only Fanfiction site, which has four houses: Schnoogle.com for novel-length fics, TheDarkArts.org for angsty-darkficcy-types, AstronomyTower.org for those lovely lovely romances and Riddikulus.org for humor and comedy. Stop by today -- no need to register to read or discuss HP fanfiction, and uploading as an author is REALLY easy!

It's called "JK Rowling and The Harry Potter Express". Here's what Channel 5's press release has to say about it: "At 8.00pm the documentary J. K. Rowling examines British author Joanne Katharine Rowling, who has created a multi-million publishing sensation with her Harry Potter books. Loved by children and adults alike, everyone knows her name. In J. K. Rowling 5's cameras track the story of her life, from her hometown of Bristol to Edinburgh, where as a destitute single mother she spent day after day in cafes creating the world of Hogwarts magical boarding school. We speak to fans and meet the inspiration behind the Potter family, headmaster Dumbledore and the evil Snape and hear the story of how she became the world-wide success she is today." http://www.channel5.co.uk/ The channel has also just screened a children's version of the quiz show "100%," in which three children answered 100 questions on Harry Potter. They got some very easy questions wrong. I'm disgusted!! I've dropped the channel an e-mail, asking if we can have a transcript of the JKR profile show... well, you never know.

Thanks in advance for reading it. HPFGU'S FUTURE We're having some great responses from those folks who have hopped over to the database. Please, if you haven't gone there yet, or even if you have and have thought of something else, leave us a message. It's completely confidential, no member names or anything are shown. It's vitally important that you, the members, tell us where you want this group to go. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/database?method=reportRows&tbl=1 0 You should also (if you haven't already) make your views known about where you think discussion about the upcoming movie should go in our Movie List Poll: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/surveys?id=729738 It's currently tied, so get voting if you haven't already! LIST ELF OPPORTUNITIES Do you have what it takes to be an elf? HPFGU is seeking new List Elves. List Elves assist new members of HPFGU in cooking, cleaning and list maintenance. Oh, yeah, and they welcome new members with a personal offlist email. List Elves should be the type of HP fanatics who can not go for more than a few hours without checking this group, and who are willing to spend far more time than they should thinking about HP-related activities. Like all elf positions, this one is without any sort of compensation except the spiritual satisfaction of being a good elf. However, there are some benefits: 1. You get to join the HPFGU-Moderators group and participate in all of the HPFGU policy-making discussions. In addition, this group frequently has other exciting discussions, such as a current exciting thread on Minerva McGonagall's bra size. 2. We can't think of any other benefits. Email the Mods @ hpforgrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com if interested, etc. Only those with names easily changed to end in -y should apply ::grin:: LIST ETIQUETTE & QUESTIONS Couple of things in this department, as usual. Could people please remember to trim posts they're replying to. In other words, if you're replying to a paragraph from a four-page post, trim the part that your email program copies from the old message so that only the pertinent bit is left. Also, for answers to list-based questions you might have, there's nowhere better than the VFAQ file -- http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Admin%20Files/VFAQ.htm For more general HP facts, check out the Harry Potter Lexicon -- http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon And for the group's series of substantive FAQ-based essays based on replies to the group, head on over to the FAQ essay page at the Lexicon http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon/faq/ Cheers! __________________________________________ John Walton / Crazy Ivan HPforGrownups Moderator With Rock #47 @ john at ...

I know some of you have varied opinions about this issue, but in a way it affects all of us who read any type of HP-inspired fanfiction, artwork, or other fan-related stuff not produced by Warner Brothers or Scholastic. An article appeared on MSNBC about Harry Potter slash. The article is rather well written and manages to remain more or less objective, but the responses from Scholastic and Warner Brothers are anything but. Rhysenn and Acassha are quoted extensively in the article. There is also an informal survey with the question, "Do you think HP slashers should be permitted to publish their writings?" When I voted, "Yes" was behind by about 12%. Regardless of how you feel about slash, but especially if you have ever enjoyed any piece in which any HP character explores feelings of a homoerotic nature for another HP character, please check out this article. The survey of course has no real impact, but it is a way to be heard. It opens the door to other attempts to impede our enjoyment of HP fandom. Gwendolyn Grace P.S.
