always go to the Lexicon. <<insert sound of blowing my own horn>>

That wasn't fanfic. And it IS posted, on the Lexicon, part of the
Hogwarts Journal, which is also where all these wonderful filk songs
are being published, along with some other excellent parodies. And
the Lexicon gets more than fifty hits per HOUR in the afternoons, so
hah. Read my lips. NOT FANFIC.
So what's this about reviews?
