Mid-way through apparating the hell out of here, Carolyn is splinched 
by Potioncat, who has a tale of woe that cannot be ignored.

'Now three a day is really quite a lot of posts if you put some 
thought into them', Carolyn says firmly. 

'Just think about all those posts you've been rejecting..didn't have 
a problem with that did you?'. 

Carolyn paused..'You have actually been rejecting them, haven't you?'

Potioncat nods feverishly, if slightly unconvincingly.

'Well, those are the ones you just don't write in the first place, 
ok? Just think 'adds nothing new', and you will be fine.'

Another round of canon shot goes off from the battlements above, 
coupled with a maniacal peal of laughter. 


> She's done with her batch, except for number 41592 which she did 
not understand at all. It was an enjoyable read, none the less. 


Carolyn cranks the post machine, and displays 41592, and giggles. 
Erm, yes, well. Look, you have to understand that Cindy really took 
against some bits of the books, and together with Dicentra they 
started chucking bits into a skip that they thought boring and 
pointless. 

The skip is called GARBAGE SCOW (Gibberish Altogether Redundant 
Blather And Gobbledegook Everywhere! Superfluous Can(n)on Obtains 
Welcome), so what you do is tick that acronym, plus the chapter(s) 
they are currently victimising. You will find that there are various 
counter-raids as other people indignantly reclaim bits of text, and 
for those you click the chapter referred to. For all raids of this 
sort, also click 'Narrative style' and 'Plot development'. It's all 
an argument about JKR's writing abilities.

Just to confuse you further, the second half of this post is coining 
an unrelated theory about Sirius - SOIL HOCKEY.

Not for the first time, Carolyn wonders if the main list will ever 
have any interest in what we are collecting together here..it always 
sounds so insane when you try and explain any aspect of TBAY.

Well, we can always have a partial launch with what we have done by 
then - we are getting on quite fast comparatively speaking with so 
many more people working on it. Let's face it, anything is better 
than Yahoo!Mort.

Courage, and here's some more: 41901-42000.

who is very sorry to put Potioncat through all these mindgames..you 
probably didn't sign up for it!
