But first, a special note for our Digest Users. Digest Users: PLEASE take care not to have RE: Digest Number ___ as your subject heading. This doesn't tell anyone what your message is about. People who have limited time to read the groups' voluminous messages may very well just delete messages that have a subject heading of RE: Digest # such & such (:::cough:::). SUBJECT HEADINGS DO be sure your subject heading reflects what your message is about DO change the subject heading if the subject has veered on to something else from the original topic (if it was about grindylows but now the message is about the Mirror of Erised for some reason, don't just hit reply & have it say "RE: Grindylows") DON'T send a message that says RE: Digest #34 in the subject line (see above) QUOTED MATERIAL DO include enough quoted material to give context to your message (if you're replying to something someone else said, include enough of what they said so that others can follow what you're talking about) DON'T include all of someone else's message in your reply if it isn't necessary; Edit out the parts that don't have any bearing on your message DON'T forget to delete all the unnecessary footers, etc. underneath your own message when you've replied to someone else's message SIGNATURE LINES DON'T include really really long signature files at the end of your messages. A signature file of a few lines or a favorite quote is fine, but remember: Less is More MULTIPLE REPLIES DO combine your short replies into a single message (change the subject heading to reflect all the subjects you're addressing though) DON'T send multiple short "one-liner" messages to the list (see above -- COMBINE into a single message) OFF-TOPIC MESSAGES DO post Off-Topic messages to our sister group, HPforGrownups-OTChatter (link on our homepage) DON'T post a message to the main group that says "This may be off-topic but ..." Okay, that's it for the brief refresher course. That wasn't so painful, right? Thanks for listening! Penny From slayer_style at ... Thu Jun 7 00:16:46 2001 From: slayer_style at ...

I've started a new yahoo group: Penny_Dredfule group at Yahoo! This group features the fanfic "Penny Dredfule-The Muggle Wizard" by yours truely. It is a group for those who want to promote their "slash" fiction, or fiction that has GLBT, homosexual or lesbian story lines and content. Anyone who wants to join can do so!! And anyone who wants to post a fic is welcome to do so as well! This is a group that takes pride in their work, and encourages everyone to keep writing....otherwise, how can we all feed our obsessions?

The OT list was created to help keep control of the message volume on the main list, so if you want to discuss the price of eggs, please don't do it on the main list (no one has discussed the price of eggs, before you all start looking - this was just a serving suggestion). YOU HAVE NEW MESSAGES ***"They could hear all the letters streaming into the room, bouncing off the walls and floor"*** There are a number of other points in our Netiquette Tips file aimed at keeping the flow of messages down to a mildly raging torrent instead of something akin to Niagara Falls: - One line posts are discouraged. If you have several short things to say, consider combining them into a single post, noting the various subjects in the header; - Consider sending off list notes (or use OT Chatter) with personal/review comments aimed at only one or two people ("I loved your post.." "I have a spare Hedwig ornament you could have" .. that sort of thing) if that's all you want to say; - If you have questions about the lists that aren't answered by the various files we've created, please contact the moderators or (for the newbies) your List Elf for further information. See bottom of message for addresses. Please don't post your question on the main list; MAKING THINGS EASIER TO READ - Please remember to label posts accurately (especially those of you on Digest) and use prefixes for certain topics: FF (fanfic), MOVIE, SHIP (relationshipping), (filk) etc, so that people can decide what they want to read and skip those things they want to avoid. Anything labelled ADMIN should, of course, be chanted three times in a nasal voice and observed dutifully. ;-) - If you are responding to long posts, please be kind to the rest of us and snip out the bits of the original message that aren't needed. Otherwise your excellent comments may be lost like a tiny saplings in a tangled forest. ANY QUESTIONS? For general reference, please view the Welcome Message in the Files section, and that includes a link to pretty much everything you might need to know (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/HPFGUWelcome.htm). Among other things, it includes links to the VFAQ, netiquette tips file, shorthand terms (such as IMHO, IIRC, OBHWF) and the Portkey to our sister groups.

I want readers. :::grins::: So, my latest addition to the world of fanfiction is this: **Title:** Hogwarts Trilogy **Sub-title:** Secrets and Sorceresses **Rating:** R for intended audience, possible violence and teenagers being teenagers. Also for slash themes. **Category:** Drama/Action/Adventure (would like to chose Angst and Romance too, but ffnet didn't let me.) **Summary:** In co-operation with the Order of the Minor Characters, this story is proud to present Lisa Turpin, Susan Bones, Millicent Bulstrode and Ginny Weasley! It's book 5 with OWLs, dating, scaring omens, tedious homework, silly pranks, the return of Voldemort and good old Professor Snape. **URL:** http://www.fanfiction.net/index.fic?action=story-read&storyid=328981 Cheers, Lilith Morgana who'd like everyone to keep her Swedish origin in mind while reading her (very beta-read!) stories instead of complaining.

We really appreciate hearing about the books you enjoy reading and we will include some of your suggestions in our `What can I read next?' section. If you are looking for something to read at the moment why not try TOOTS AND THE UPSIDE DOWN HOUSE by Carol Hughes. Toots, a lonely child, discovers a fantastic upside-down world above and beyond the ceiling of her house. In this world, where up is down and down is somewhere else entirely, she battles with good and evil, and discovers a way to come back down to Earth and renew her love for her widowed dad. http://www.bloomsburymagazine.com/redir.asp?id=57 If you take a look at our News section you'll find lots of ideas for other books to read: http://www.bloomsbury.com/harrypotter/default.asp?id=-3 SCHOOL MOTTO We had a few queries about the school motto which appeared at the bottom of the last newsletter. Just so you know, `Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus' is the Latin for `Never tickle a sleeping dragon'. Draco means dragon, dormiens means sleeping, nunquam means never and titillandus means tickle! Do let us know if you have any suggestions about things you would like to see us include in our newsletter or on our site.

Message-ID: <002701c10153$9ac80e40$fb3770c2@c5s910j> Hi everyone, We're coming to the end of our discussions based on PoA and will soon be moving on to CoS, so we're looking for some more able volunteers to write lead-off summaries. If you're interested in volunteering, please check the schedule linked below and send me a previate e-mail (neil.ward at ... or the Chasers link in the schedule file). PLEASE DO NOT send a message to the list. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/Discussion%20Summaries/NewDiscussions.htm ***What's involved? Every week, we have a discussion based on a chapter or two from one of the books, and another on a themed essay. We started out with GoF chapters and profiles of most of the main HP characters, and decided to continue, as we had so much time on our hands. We're now moving backwards through the series, aiming to complete the chapter discussions around the time of the movie release date. The essays are now on a variety of HP themes. Volunteers write a summary in their own style and pose a few questions at the end to get the discussion moving. The summaries are scheduled to be posted on Mondays. People can volunteer to write either or both the chapter and themed summaries for a week. Please specify (if you don't say, I will assume you are offering to do all of them). NB: These discussions are, of course, an optional activity and we are all free to comment on any topic at any time, provided we follow the netiquette guidelines and rules of the list and YahooGroups.
