* I, erm, would give Hermione a gift certificate to her favourite
bookstore. That way she can pick out her own books and you don't give
her one she already has or isn't interested in. 

Or candle holders. I really like those and I'm the Hermione type. I have
all sorts of astronomy and sea themed holders.

* Michela ranted about fanfic chock full of spelling errors and
disclaimers:

It just reflects rather harshly on
the author.  It says "Hi! I'm lazy and I don't care about how I look!" 
It's like knowing that the author hasn't showered in a week, hasn't
brushed their teeth in two months, never combs their hair and has a
keyboard covered in food stuff.  That doesn't make the person sound
attractive and neither do misspellings.

Michela, you rock! You've managed to put into words why I constantly
grind my teeth about sloppily designed websites. Not just fan sites, but
corporate. 

During my times of unemployment, I fantasized about going through the
local paper, circling all the spelling and grammar errors, and walking
into the paper's office to demand a job as a proof-reader. :-)
