hmm, one of my gay male friends LOVED BOCA and went on to read HP. He 
has just finished POA and said that BOCA and Love in Ruins had given 
a very different slant to the POA that I read the first time <bg>.

btw and completely off topic - I can;t find BOCA or LIR, or anything 
by grimslasher over on on Fanfic.net - I've not seen anything on the 
HPslash list about this (maybe I'm not looking in the right place). 
Any info about the current location of the committee of vapires/any 
new work? If anyone knows anything e-mail me off list if you feel 
like it ... ta.
