Origins of the "Farmer in the Dell" theory...

No: HPFGUIDX 7903

Afternoon, everyone... as I'm waiting around online for my beta-
readers to show up so I can post to ff.net and resume inter-holiday 
hibernation <g>, I ran across something of interest.

Has anyone here ever heard of Gypsy?  She's the teen author of the 
first known HP fanfic, "Harry Potter and the Man of Unknown" (c. 
summer 1999) and the first known inventor of the canon-implausible 
D/H pairing.  Upon recommendation from another online fan, I traveled 
to her website which archived HP fanfic in the Golden Age before the 
HP section of ff.net, before the HP4GU Yahoo! Days, before even the 
U.S. publication of PoA... you get the point.

...and learned that she spotted the Farmer in the Dell situation as 
early as post-CoS.  She calls it a "square", which may be more 
appropriate.

Here's the link to her editorial, if anyone is interested:

It's funny... there's no date given, but from her comments about 
the "rumored new character, Ravenclaw Seeker Cho Chang" you can tell 
that she wrote the editorial pre-PoA.  LOL!
