[HPFGU-Catalogue] McGonagall/F&G/Authorial Intent

[elfundeb]

Carolyn:
As you notice later, the general Weasley category is 1.4.7.1 under 
Family dynamics. I have just de-cluttered the Gred & Forge category 
on the same principle - ie, only code to the twins where it really is 
a detailed discussion about them, rather than their family 
relationships.

Debbie:

But if you think about it from the perspective of the reader searching for posts, does this make sense?   If I were searching F&G, I would expect to find posts about their impact on the family dynamic, as many of these posts are very much about them.  If I had to search family dynamics, I'd have to wade through lots of posts about Molly's impact on Percy, Ginny, etc. that have nothing to do with F&G.  This is a case where many of the posts *are* about the characters and not just the dynamic.

Potioncat has questions:

Posts on McGonagall are either OK or they aren't. [snip] A few question her age prior to JKR's revealing it. Do we need to
keep a few of those for posterity?

Carolyn:
Yes to your first question, only have stuff that is mainly about 
McGonagall under her code.

I would also say generally no to your second question if they are 
seriously wrong in their guesses, but I know that Debbie and Kelly 
were keen to keep some of these old arguments for posterity.

Debbie:

I don't see any need to retain history on age speculation, though maybe it's just because it's a subject I'm not interested in except to spin yarns about her relationship with Riddle

Carolyn:
There are quite regular attempts at ESE!McGonagall. I will add it as 
a sub-category, if people don't mind.

Debbie:
Yes, and I'd vote to add Imperious!Arthur, too, which has been discussed many times.

I see no one has claimed Authorial Intent/Reader Response.  Talisman, are you interested, or are you leaving it to me?

running behind due to the 50+ hours billed this week on her allegedly part time job
