Anne:
I like having them under 'plot development' because it gathers them
all together, and some of them don't fit into discrete chapters. The
Shrieking Shack took several chapters, as did the Graveyard. Even the
MoM took more than one chapter: one getting to the prophecy orb, one
battling DEs in the DoM, and one in the Atrium, w/LV-DD battle.
'Occlumency lessons' might wind up here, I suppose, and what about
'Scar Connection' (which I wouldn't be sure is ancient magic -- or is it)?

Is that more thoughts than you wanted?

Anne:
Sorry, I've only coded up one Peg Kerr post, after reading how Carolyn
did one. I just ticked off a bunch of categories that seemed to fit,
and then marked it as a Fantastic Post (well, it was much better than
what else I'd been reading). Sloth, now, that'd be tough. Still, we
don't have to code them *all* as FPs do we? Or will it look odd to
have only 5 or 6 deadly sins? <g>

Anne:
We can't be all things to all people. I don't think it hurts to have
the end user do a *little* work -- for example, I can find my way
around the Lexicon much easier than the first time I used it. The end
user will be able to see a category list with all the 'd' entries to
help chose where to search, won't they?

The copyright question surprises me, although I have no expertise in
the subject. I just thought that if it was open to HPfGU members only,
accessible through the home page, we would be clear. But perhaps that
only would apply to the newer stuff, since the HBFile?
