Gah, I'd add it to an 'Adventures' post, but I'm targeting AFF.net and
FF.net.  Wooboy, if you make it past the typos, typical abuse and raping
of an underage Harry, who can morph into various critters, you find out
Lucius Malfoy likes to take care of small animals.

I don't see Lucius as a member of SPCA.

Yep, maybe Draco might learn to stand up for himself when he can't wave
the Malfoy name as some sort of banner.  Then again, Lucius may join both
SPCA and SPEW before that happens... or in other words, until JKR writes
out a legit check for me in the amount of a million dollars = not likely.

Although, I do agree on the idea of Draco 'switching sides' if it meant
self-preservation.

Perspective. {g}  I think Draco is more obsessed over his hair--or as JKR
describes his hair as 'sleek' which makes me wonder, for all the bashing
on Hermione's hair, if Draco really has a natural 'fro going on that he
hides with sleek easy potion. ;-)

Agreed.

Of course not. ;-)

I can't really do a review either.  It's more a case of writing down
impressions of the fanfic.

I think if you mostly agree with a certain person's tastes in fanfic, recs
are a good thing.  I found that Paws fic via a fic search, which reminds
me of Glassesreflect... Oh my gosh, I was so cracking up when I noticed a
gal post a fic search on the group *and* she was among the folk who wanted
the fic searches removed.  Excuse me for a moment while I start laughing.

...

Anyway, sometimes I find some recommended fic is over-rated.

And speaking of Glassesreflect, I wonder if I was supposed to reply to the
gal looking for 'Dena' because there's a Denan and I know there's a
Harry/Snape writer by the name of Dina.

Have you encountered another person online with the same name as you? 
Y'know, I used to drop the second 'i' in your name by mistake.

Picspam! Picspam! Picspam!  Of course, within comfort levels for both you
and if you take pictures of others.  Still, isn't Lumos in 2006?

{g}  I know what it's like to go with a family member who is only familiar
with HP via the movies.  Generally, it's less complaining about what was
axed out.

Though, one thing I won't criticize Chris Columbus on is how he included a
rather long quidditch scene in COS.  For a slasher, it made me a happy
camper.
