News from the Goat Pen

[Aberforth's Goat]

Hi all!

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.)

Baaaaaa!
