In other words - it's an "Unexpected Fic." As of now, over four dozen people have accepted the challenge - will you? Read more at the link above, or here: http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/forums/forumdisplay.php? s=eb8300753ee9cd5a4e18e98db074a75e&forumid=111 If you never read Harry/Hermione fics, give one a try. If you hate redeemed!draco, read a chapter or two of a fic that delves into his character. Hate Lily/James Love/Hate fics? Try one anyway - it might not be as fluffy as you fear. Or read whatever doesn't regularly tickle your fancy. Note: unless you're choosing to read "badly spelled fics" as your challenge, no selecting things that are badly spelled just to prove to yourself that you don't like something. Pick something that's appreciated by people who like the genre that you don't. Ask, take suggestions. You can use the Sorting Hat to help you decide, or ask around on sites that focus on SHIPs or characters you don't normally read - I'm sure the people at SugarQuill, GT, Werewolf Registry, Guns & Handcuffs and Ships' Registry, among other sites, will be happy to make suggestions! And if you don't ordinarily read fanfic at all, pick your favorite character here and have at it!

The next HP film will be timed for launch a few weeks AFTER the launch of the next Lord Of The Rings film... that means a later launch than many expect now. Consequence: The next HP book has been delayed in step with this - indications are that advertising for the book will follow the film on launch, so some weeks after the film launch before the book hits the shops... My source? Lets just say that the son of a friend is a computer graphics technician in the UK film industry. As far as you all are concerned it is just possible that he is working on an interesting film. Could all be industry gossip of course... On this basis my guess for the book is February 2003 Edis From j.hannar at mountains666.yahoo.invalid Sat Aug 17 15:08:49 2002 From: j.hannar at mountains666.yahoo.invalid (mountains666) Date: Sat, 17 Aug 2002 15:08:49 -0000 Subject: Reading Suggestion Message-ID: I've recently come across a children's story, Julie Trent and the Lightning by the English author Laura Emmet. The book is available completely free from http://www.donardpublishing.com/trent.html I thought it was a very good book and it might help fill the gap until the 5th Harry Potter is released. Just a thought.

This is just a quick note to let you know that chapter seven of Galatea is now up at the HP Pendragon yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPPendragon) and ffn, and will be up on schnoogle and Gryffindor Tower soon. In all locations, author name is Irina. Galatea is the second act in the M?rr?gna trilogy. Five years after the events in The Rebirth (which you'll probably want to read first to cut down on confusion), Draco Malfoy is finally ready to overthrow the Dark Lord and take his place as the head of the Death Eaters. Ginny Weasley, an Auror disillusioned with the light side, is the last thing he needs to turn his dreams into reality. But Draco has underestimated Harry...and Voldemort. Get ready for adventure, angst, romance, humor, and a bad-ass Celtic goddess ? I guarentee you'll never look at H/G the same way again. Thanks for reading!

Everyone in the know about Voldemort's return is preparing for war; these preparations cause new and old relationships to spring up, as well as the return of Severus's old flame, who has been playing dead for fourteen years. Romance, espionage, torture, angst, and Remus/Sirius slash. Pairings among the younger set are more fun if they're unpredictable, but there will at least be slashy inklings In chapter nine (which is, incidentally, called "Summer's End" 'cause, well -- duh): Draco keeps a diary, Hermione gets jealous, Sirius gets protective, Raven and Harry take a trip down memory lane, and Hagrid returns. I'm also calling for a general sort of show of hands on the issue of a mailing list for this fic, so if you're interested let me know. And, of course, please review. My Muse eats reviews the way I eat ice cream. :) Thanks!
