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 unpredictable; the current forecast is H/H with Harry/Draco undertones. Chapter Seven: in which Draco visits St. Mungo's and has an unsettling conversation, Harry and Draco play chess with Draco's "special" chess set, Sirius has an informative conversation with Harry, and Draco has a worrisome dream. Please review! Thank you!

They're available on the HP Psych Yahoo group, which is for discussion of the Psychic Serpent Series (the trilogy and prequel). Go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP_Psych The one-year anniversary of the group is on June 8, so during the week leading up to that you can read, review and vote on ten fics that list members wrote that take place in the Psychic Serpent HP universe. (The fics are anonymous until the voting is over.) Here's a list of what you can expect: About a Malfoy - This is a ficlet consisting of several scenes from chapter 3 of The Triangle Prophecy, from Draco's point of view, as well as a reworking of some scenes from the film About a Boy. The Character Interview - Barb decides it's time to get all the main characters together so that they know what they are supposed to be doing in the fic. Decisions - Harry's closest companion shares some of her thoughts... Do I Wake Or Sleep? - What would have happened if Harry's life in the AU had been allowed to continue, without his RU self entering it? Ghosts in the Attic - Percy has to face a boggart in the attic - and discover what he truly fears. Harry Potter Shakespeare Adventure - Ruth Pelta's cousin has an adventure that includes Shakespeare, Tom Riddle, time travel, and, of course, Harry. In My Heart - Katie and Harry have a long talk before he leaves Privet Drive (written before Chapter 4 of Triangle Prophecy was posted). James' Point of View - The Time of Good Intentions from the point of view of James Potter's ghost. One Sunday - Sunday dinner at the Weasleys... Precious Burdens - A ritual for little Jamie Potter brings both sadness and joy to Lily Potter and Severus Snape. Have fun! --Barb http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/Barb New: Triangle Prophecy #4 and Lost Generation #1!

This one is rated "R" for concept. Nothing explicit, the rating is more for concept than content. For most folks, it would be a PG-13.

I've been keeping my nose to the grindstone lately and haven't been seen much in fandom - but I do have a few bits of news: - For folks who don't visit regularly, my JK Rowling search engine has been revamped with a new look, news that's only a week old and links that almost always work, unless you're running Netscape. That's http://www.aberforthsgoat.net - Also, I've finally broken down and started writing fanfic. Harry Potter, on the day of his 52nd birthday, is out of shape, in trouble and stuck in the throes of a mid-life crisis. Not to mention a horrible curse about to be perpetrated on a particularly deserving populace. The Viagramus Curse combines equal depths of pathos, intrigue, love, passion, boredom, philosophy, horror, sex, self-help, humor, theology, angst, reality and bloody awful writing. If I finish, it'll have six chapters; for the time being there's one at http://www.riddikulus.org/authors/agoat/VC01.html (BTW, "Author's Notes" was supposed to be at the end - don't read it if you don't want spoilers.)

DeLong of The Leaky Cauldron and I have just set up a Yahoogroup for webmasters and Yahoogroup mods in the HP fandom. We hope to use it to trade info about hosting and technical things, new sites we might want to link to, book/movie issues, and the like. At this point, to keep the list from being top-heavy, we're going to put a few restrictions on joining. Here's the breakdown: 1. If you want to join, you *have* to post a comment in reply to THIS LJ posting (http://www.livejournal.com/talkread.bml? journal=heidi8&itemid=51841) and give your email address and the url for your site/yahoogroup. 2. If your site has under 100 members/registered users or has been around less than a month, you can join but your posts will be moderated; we expect that people will be removed from mod status about a month after your join date, if you've updated your site during the month, but it's at the moderator team's discretion. We're doing this not to stifle discussion, but to keep spammers who only want to advertise their products or services, not to discuss site/group issues, off the list. 3. If your site has over 100 members/registered users, has been around more than a month, or is updated at least monthly, you can join and you will be off moderated status within a day of joining (that allows us to approve you to join the list, and then get to the list to remove you from mod status as quickly as we can, but it can't be simultaneous). 4. No more than 3 members of the Yahoogroup from any one website, please. How does that sound? Go, subscribe and post your URLs if you want to join!

It is a Wizard to Muggle Currency Converter. I know, there is another one of these out there on the net, but mine is better because: a) It can convert to and from British Pounds, not just Dollars, b) it's more accurate, repeated conversions back and forth do not lose accuracy because of gross rounding and c) it's not associated with a commercial site and you're not bombarded with ads when you want to access it. The exchange rate in the currency converter is based on the prices of the little Comic Relief books, which are listed at 3.99 US, 2.50 UK, and both also say they cost 14 sickles and 3 knuts. Wonder what your yearly salary or allowance would be in Galleons, Sickles and Knuts? Or how about that dinner you bought last night? How much would that cost at the Leaky Cauldron? What's a fair tip for the attendant on the Knight Bus? Or how much does Dragon Liver cost in dollars and cents? Go to www.wizardingwireless.net, click on "Wizard to Muggle Currency Converter" in the left-hand column, and have fun! -Dave ------------------------------------------------------------------------ fawkes at ... - Dave Haber ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wizarding Wireless Online - www.wizardingwireless.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
