Our community was once the Harry Potter community at IGN, but with their move to for-pay services we've set up in a new location. The majority of our users are adults, with the occasional bright teenager. We are friendly and (like HPFGU), we have high standards for our discussions. We'd love for like-minded Harry Potter fans to join us - we think having some new ideas and new perspectives thrown into the mix would make our forum a better place. We've added sub-forums for Lord of the Rings, literature, film, and music, as we've found that while HP unites us, we have a lot to learn from one another in other areas as well. So if you're looking for a smaller, friendly community to join as we wait for Book Five, please come give us a look.

Groups Members, The DeathEater! Groups service will be down for scheduled maintenance Friday, March 15, 9:00 PM PST (GMT-8) as we move our servers to a new facility. We expect the service to be restored the morning of Sunday March 17. During this time the web site will be unavailable and email will not be delivered. (Some users may experience email non-delivery notices while the service is down, but all email should be delivered once service is resumed.) Please note: once the service is restored, there will be email delays due to backlog. We expect these delays to last no longer than 1 day. Please do not re-send email to your group as this will only add to delays. ____________________________________________ Which is nice. Again. Well, folks, all that the Mods can say is that we hope that you enjoy a little bit of rest and relaxation from the HPFGUniverse this weekend. If you're craving your Harry Potter fix, you could always try FictionAlleyPark, at www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark, where some of the Mods and your fellow listies hang out, talking about much more than just fanfic. Sunday Chat will go on as scheduled for Sunday. As Yahoo!Groups will be down, the easiest way to access it will be via CheetaChat (for PCs) or miChat (for Macs). Here's the lowdown: Every week, we have a chat in a Yahoo Chat Room (HP:1) which usually starts between 3 and 4 pm US Eastern Time and ends at 7, 8, 9 or even later! (UK time: add five hours. US Pacific Time: subtract three hours) Consult www.versiontracker.com for the latest upgrades to these. Generally, all you will need is your Yahoo ID and the chatroom name (HP:1). If you have problems with setting these up, please contact the Mods at HPforGrownups-Owner at yahoogroups.com until Yahoo goes into hibernation. After that, you can email me personally at john at ... and I'll be more than happy to help out with any problems. If there's interest, you should all feel free to be in the chatroom whenever you want over this weekend -- so go for it :) Magically yours, --John, technoModerator with Rock #47 for the HPFGU Moderator Team ____________________________________________ "Summoned, I take the place that has been prepared for me.

I see no new merchandise announcements in the recent archives of thiis Announcements list, but since the charter for both says they belong here, I offer the following: TV Commmercial: "Harry Potter Slime Chamber". No comment. Connected with this I saw in a toy store the new updated set of "action figures" -Harry with cobwebs all over his robe (?) -Ron with something narrow and silvery coming from the corner of his mouth... a slug? -Hermione with cat face! -Draco M. with a large stain on his robe (?) Not seen, but shown on the back of the packaging for the above: Fred and George figures. Funnily enough, they look to be identical. :-) I believe they are also available in Quidditch robes. In addition, at a flea market, recently I saw a Russian stacking doll set, painted with images of the movie actors from largest/outermost to smallest/innermost: Harry - Ron - Hermione* - Hagrid - Griphook *Nicely hand-painted except Hermione's hair was much too dark. Ihe bottom was lettered "Mockba 2002" - Moscow 2002, and the dealer told me her husband had picked it up on a trip to Russia in early February. It was marked $55 and I have no clue (since they only had one set) if these are, or are about to become, a 'commonplace' item. -Brooks A Rowlett From heidit at heiditandy.yahoo.invalid Sat Mar 23 04:15:54 2002 From: heidit at heiditandy.yahoo.invalid (heiditandy) Date: Sat, 23 Mar 2002 04:15:54 -0000 Subject: The Show That Never Ends - FINAL CHAPTER Message-ID: The last chapter of The SHow that Never Ends, the sequel to the written-up-in-Salon Paridigm of Uncertainty, is now up on Schnoogle.

Moony and Padfoot,* Purveyors of Tales for Magic-Minded Muggles, are proud to present: "Between the Lines," a tale of reunion, separation, preparation, education, secrets, truths, and love, by the Beasties-Boys. In this story set in Harry's fifth year, Remus accepts a one-year position in Canada, while Sirius is left to play courier for Dumbledore. Will their separation after so little time together strengthen them or drive them further apart? This touching, funny, often bitter-sweet fic is available in multiple locations: On Schnoogle, at Fiction Alley: http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/Beasties_Boys/ On Fanfiction.net: http://www.fanfiction.net/read.php?storyid=440319 On the Werewolf Registry: http://www.werewolfregistry.net/beastiesboys.html and in email on HPslash at yahoogroups. Chapters One and Two were published in October to critical acclaim. Don't wait for this story's completion to catch up! Chapter Three, "Tangled Inside You," is available NOW! Read it on the venue of your choice! Note: readers who have read A'jes' Blue's "In this World of Strangers" and "Take the Chance" will find their reading experience enhanced by their foreknowledge. However, familiarity with these stories is not required to understand the occurrences in "Between the Lines." A background in the canonical Harry Potter universe is presumed. *Moony and Padfoot are also known as Beasties-Boys, who are collectively A'jes' Blue and Gwendolyn Grace. No resemblence to werewolves or Animagi has actually been achieved. This simulation of character was conducted by fanfic professionals under the guidance of excellent beta-readers, and should not be attempted by the inexperienced.

Message-ID: <20020331002257.48775.qmail@...> The final chapter of Harry Potter and the Time of Good Intentions has been posted on Schnoogle.com: Chapter 21: My Other Life http://www.schnoogle.com/authors/barb/TOGI21.html That completes the first two fics in the Psychic Serpent Trilogy! Coming April 16, 2002 to Schnoogle.com and the HP_Psych Yahoo group: Year Seven: Harry Potter and the Triangle Prophecy Harry's seventh and final year of school. In a time of uncertainty, the Muggle world has found a source of comfort and stability. Only Harry suspects that it isn't safe. Wizards are more concerned about themselves than Muggles since Voldemort's return, but are only Muggles at risk? Will anyone listen to Harry? He must decide whether Draco Malfoy is ultimately friend or foe and discover the identity of the Daughter of War and get her help in defeating Voldemort; and finally, Harry must decide whether to make a sacrifice that will change him--and the wizarding world--forever. The first fic--Harry Potter and the Psychic Serpent--is available on Schnoogle (under "Barb") and the Yahoo group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP_Psych ) plus a few other places (Cygnus' site, Minzzer's site, ff.net, etc.). Now that it's complete, I'm considering letting some other sites have The Time of Good Intentions as well. Enjoy Chapter 21 of ToGI! --Barb __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
