catlady_de_los_angeles says, crackers a show, or watching
characters pull crackers?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, That goes with recent discussion on
list
sineadsiobhan says, Crackers are the most fun.. my family scours the
stores for those...
sineadsiobhan says, not many places sell christmas crackers
gypsycaine says, it took Mr. Lucas and Mr. Humphries' together
pulling on a cracker to open it.
gypsycaine says, I thought they were smaller.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I wonder WHY anyone would WANT a Grow
Your Own Warts kit?
sineadsiobhan says, umm.. I have no idea
catlady_de_los_angeles says, If it includes Wart Removal, it might
be used for costuming.
gypsycaine says, the staff ended up with costume facial things--
false glasses and mustache, and such.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Or is it for Growing Someone Else's
Warts, in which case we should have seen Harry trying to put big
hairy warts on Draco's face.
gypsycaine says, Mrs. S. ended up with false fangs.
gypsycaine says, I can't believe the Malfoys didn't want their
little Dracie-kins back for the holidays..
sineadsiobhan says, I don't blame them..
anglinsbees enters

But living out in the wilderness and trees makes it only a dream for
now !
sineadsiobhan says, I'm jealous.. you have good programming!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, We had been talking about Christmas
Crackers. I was wondering why anyone would WANT a Grow Your Own Warts
Kits.
gypsycaine says, I had cable.
sineadsiobhan says, My school won't allow cable in its dorms
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Had? Weepy face?
sineadsiobhan says, we have crappy rabbit ears
+ p_dumbledore says, For witches and wizards, warts are like those
little beauty spots women sometimes want

Detroit Mi area- Free untill January- But I still havent been able to
get tit to work- Waiting pr new diska right now....some deal!
gypsycaine says, my funding and it's billing didn't see eye to eye
any longer.

catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dennis, I very much doubt it. Fleur
had no warts.

gypsycaine tosses connection up there.

catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Nick
anglinsbees says, Never claimed I could type.... If I had a grow my
own warts kit, I'd try to use it on someone else...
gypsycaine . o O ( Nick, discovered a new show today... something
called "Waiting for God". I rolled! )
Your buddy katerinaugusta has gone off pager
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Why didn't HP try to use it on Draco?
€ babynick34 says, On nice expensive link now - one ISP has their
own dedicated transatlantic lines - I'm not bouncing via TeleHouse
London.
€ babynick34 says, WFG - it's a great show. Is it on PBS?
gypsycaine says, the christmas version, where Diana Trent directors
the pagent.
sineadsiobhan reading DS9
catlady_de_los_angeles says, It is AMAZING HOW MANY cookies egroups
wants, just to update chatters lists
gypsycaine says, I never saw it before, and it was wonderful.
gypsycaine says, oh, is someone backing up the posts again?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I got behind on reading fanfic due to
writing fanfic .....
gypsycaine says, it seems the merger is getting closer, and in the
club ClubMasters, comments are being made that posts might get
deleted accidently.
You have 1 new messages in Yahoo! Mail ( http://mail.yahoo.com )
catlady_de_los_angeles says, to be truthful, I got behind due to
things like sleeping
anglinsbees says, Oh, no, the curse of Yahoo returns!
gypsycaine says, I had one more club to back up, that I really need
to back up.
€ babynick34 says, Better than the curse of BT (British Telecom that
once was). I'm fed up... I want to move to the US.#

gypsycaine says, it sounds like if there's a club and an egroup by
the same name, one will disappear.
€ babynick34 says, Which one though? Does the Egroup or the Yahoo
group take priority?
gypsycaine says, leaving the older one in place.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Can't they just RENAME one or both?
anglinsbees says, Is there much on the Yahoo Hp site, or did it stay
lost?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, say, prefixing the shared name, with e-
or y-?
gypsycaine says, the thing is, if they have the same exact name,
the yahoo club stays, from what I understand, the egroup will go.
gypsycaine says, since the yahoo group was created first.
€ babynick34 says, What if the yahoo group is destroyed prior to the
merge - will that solve the problem?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Isn't our Yahoo Harry Potter for
GrownUps and our egroup HPfour GrownUps?
gypsycaine says, that's what I thought.
€ babynick34 says, At the look of it yes... cheeta says's the yahoo
group is c_harrypotterforgrownups
catlady_de_los_angeles says, strike out the u
gypsycaine says, I know I type hp in the email bar, and it pulls up
the same.
anglinsbees says, But it still means two clubs....
Your buddy siriusgeologist has gone off pager
gypsycaine says, yep.
gypsycaine says, I want to back up my other club, my "Falls"
€ babynick34 says, Both clubs have some features that work - thus we
have two.
gypsycaine says, it's only about 5000 posts to record.
gypsycaine says, then I move to my other club...
gypsycaine says, chuckles.
gypsycaine says, the others I am not so concerned about.

gypsycaine says, hi Diann!

catlady_de_los_angeles says, hi, Diann
€ babynick34 says, From posts on the list... am I right in saying
that you lot over in America, don't have Christmas Crackers?
gypsycaine says, goto the club Clubmasters, and follow the link on
one of the posts there....
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Christmas Crackers are not an American
tradition
gypsycaine says, I saw my first batch on the teletubbies, Nick.
anglinsbees says, I saw christmas crackers at Pier One- But all they
had inside was a single candy- for $10 for 5
dee_97527 says, We never had them in Texas
catlady_de_los_angeles says, For a few years now, I have seen them
on offer in mail order catalogs, saying Adopt a fun English custom
anglinsbees says, Too expensive for me!
gypsycaine says, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what Po
and Tinky Winky were doing with the toilet paper tube.
€ babynick34 says, Do you have Bob The Builder now as well as the
Tellytubbies?
gypsycaine says, bob the builder...
anglinsbees says, Never heard of Bob...
gypsycaine . o O ( bisselling? lol. )

cassandraclaire73 says, hi rita!
cassandraclaire73 says, thanks for the astrology chart, BTW
sineadsiobhan says, Hi Cassie! Just reading your latest
installment... and talking in here at the same time
€ babynick34 says, Crackers here are quite often a few pounds each -
so $10 for 5 is quite good value compared with our prices... though I
have to say, I don't buy crackers... too expensive a luxery.#
cassandraclaire73 says, wow, 2 things at once
gypsycaine says, can't you make your own? use toilet paper rolls,
and wrapping paper?
€ babynick34 says, Multi-tasking - you do it far better than
Microsoft - LOL
sineadsiobhan says, its difficult! actually.. 3 things at once..
reading my Machiavelli book as well
anglinsbees says, Ohh I want to read it, But I don't think I can
handle both at once- I'll have to read it tinight on my lunch....
€ babynick34 says, Used to at pre-school. Though we were banned
from using Toilet Paper rolls, had to use kitchen rolls instead,
cassandraclaire73 says,
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think the Endangered Species one,
with a funny hat shaped like an endnmagered animals, a 'collectible'
indormation card about that animal, and several rainforesst candies
anglinsbees says, RE Crackers- Don't they have a little explosive
inside, kind of like the chinese string fireworks you set off by
pulling the strings...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, The high price was becaue it was being
sold to benefit a zoo
You have 2 new messages in Yahoo! Mail ( http://mail.yahoo.com )
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yep, called crackers because they
explode
catlady_de_los_angeles says, the toilet paper tube wouldn't explode

€ babynick34 says, Yes... guess so.
sineadsiobhan says, Oh yeah... Liz from the PoU message board was
hitting me with a rhetoric axe
gypsycaine says, My son loves that site that was posted this
morning--the virtual cracker.
cassandraclaire73 says, well i think youre safe now
€ babynick34 says, Toilet roll was banned from use in Pre-school /
Kindergarten due to hygine - dispite it having been used for years
and years!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, someone on the egroup (was it Simon
Brandford?_ was speaking oof his family making their own crackerss

Pacific Coast.

gypsycaine says, SIMON!
gypsycaine says, pleaseplease?
cassandraclaire73 says, the bleak midwinter one?
hert0661 says, thats the one
hert0661 says, I was thinking of upsetting Ron fans by getting him to
betray H.
selah_1977 says, Anyway, I drive an economy Ford Escort, and our lot
currently has a good foot of snow on it. I used all my salt helping
someone else who was stuck.
cassandraclaire73 says, It's R/H...Ron starts having weird dreams and
visions, he's got special powers...the usual
cassandraclaire73 says, but its well done
selah_1977 says, Hey--no taking my ideas, Simon!
cassandraclaire73 says, i wish someone would write one where he
betrays Harry

out- Guess thsts why I like the Draco stuff! (Smiles winningly at
Cassandra)
cassandraclaire73 says, *has been won over*
selah_1977 says, I know some of the prominent writers in the fandom
I've corresponded with are thinking of shaking the Ron fans up.
cassandraclaire73 says, compliments for Draco always make me happy
cassandraclaire73 says, Ron has that potential
hert0661 says, I was also wondering about doing it partly as a
diary / journel thing
cassandraclaire73 says, but when I even go so far as to have him be
cranky, I get angry email
selah_1977 says, Oh, yeah--there's some Cassie worship on this fic--
you don't know how good it felt to get your message over at HP
fanfiction list.
hert0661 says, ron writting about what is happening day by day
sineadsiobhan ::;peers out from a certain story:: is that you Simon?

well done, that is!

cassandraclaire73 blushes
hert0661 says, that was sort of what I was thinking of anglinbees

a heroic moment

Wormtail

end betray h or not
cassandraclaire73 says, im glad you liked it, Ebony
selah_1977 says, I think he would seriously consider it.
anglinsbees says, Oh come on1 Hermionie falls for Harry, Ron feels
betrayed, he get even- too obvious, but one possibility...
cassandraclaire73 says, there are fics where Ron betrays harry
hert0661 says, No - not writing myself into my own fic (mis reading
Cass on purpose)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, He can't be a major cowrad from teh
beinginng , Since he was Sorted into Gryffindor
cassandraclaire73 says, *smacks Simon upside the head*
€ babynick34 says, I don't think Ron would betray H when crunch time
came... but he does get a bit moody at times, so could go to the
other side for a while.
anglinsbees says, Revenge can be soooo Bitter-Sweet!
cassandraclaire73 says, im turned off cameos now after Dracanea!
selah_1977 says, Liked it? Cassie, it had everything! You hit on
three of my fave things... but I can't say which, darn it! Read the
fic, people!
cassandraclaire73 says, well, H/H would be one *winks*
cassandraclaire73 says, ill shut up

come out. JW has done the score - so it should be out soon.
anglinsbees says, I have been playing with ideas for a fic- About Why

gypsycaine says, it's just an idea for a ff.
flying_ford_anglia says, Maybe Vernon and Petunia were different as
youngsters....

catlady_de_los_angeles says, FOrtunately she was put into a nursing
home
flying_ford_anglia says, sexy even.
cassandraclaire73 says, i cant help but think they were always vile
selah_1977 says, I never have flamed a writer. But if someone pairs
Lily off with Vernon, I will flame.

work...chuckles. )

flying_ford_anglia says, Vile but sexy?
dee_97527 says, Lily/Vernon does not work
gypsycaine says, if someone can plop Hermoine and Snape.....!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, before that, one of the things she did
was lie in bed in a dark room shouting at her dead relatives
selah_1977 says, Then again, I hated Draco until DD... so anything's
possible.
€ babynick34 says, Lily, Petunia - not exactly similar names are
they - I wonder why their parents choose to call them those names?
gypsycaine says, they're both flowers, though.
selah_1977 says, Maybe they just liked the names.
gypsycaine says, maybe they were gardners?
€ babynick34 says, true... but why Petunia - why not Rose?
gypsycaine says, she came first?
flying_ford_anglia says, It's possible to make any character nice
using fanfic
gypsycaine says, a nice Vernon, while he dated her?
selah_1977 says, Yes, but hard to still keep them sort of in
character.
selah_1977 says, That's one of the problems with R/H and H/H... what
to do with the odd one out.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, she shouted at her late sister Loretta
that Mom always like you bettter
gypsycaine says, then James came along, made him bitter, and he
married Petunia in spite?
hert0661 says, but can we then go the opposite way and turn someone
bad?
flying_ford_anglia says, I guess so...
cassandraclaire73 says, you can, (turn someone bad) but there are
always characters that have their fans, and those fans will be angry
gypsycaine says, that's why he dotes on Dudley, but doesn't seem to
care either way for Petunia (never hear lovies)
cassandraclaire73 says, you just have to not care

catlady_de_los_angeles says, she shouted at her late Motehr that
she had tried to sell her to white slavers, which is not true
hert0661 says, oh well -will give this ron idea some more thought and
then comment again soon!
selah_1977 says, Some things never change about a character. It's an
innate part of their character. For instance, my theory is that Ron
was, is, and will always be not very discerning.
cassandraclaire73 says, i like your ron idea simon
gypsycaine says, you know, I might JUST do that one!
gypsycaine says, lol.
cassandraclaire73 says, most fics about ron are pretty dull fluffy
R/H things
hert0661 says, mine was for himmto make some sort of mistake like
sirius did?
cassandraclaire73 says, sirius' mistake? ...
hert0661 says, or for him to toy with going out and out bad
cassandraclaire73 says, letting the Potters change secret-keepers
hert0661 says, yep thats the one
catlady_de_los_angeles says, trusting WOrmtail, presumbaly
flying_ford_anglia says, Ron strikes me as vulnerable and flawed...

catlady_de_los_angeles says, What is that avattar you are using ,
Neil?
hert0661 says, but quite easy for him to make a mistake and not
realsie
selah_1977 says, Cassie, I agree! If you think about it, none of
the "superauthors" write R/H fics. IMO, most of the writers who are
more respected in the fandom are H/H shippers. Are they crazy?
Haven't they read GoF? I'm being sarcastic here...
gypsycaine says, (still haven't gotten it! now the electrical
system's shot)

hert0661 says, most likely they are the adult writers
selah_1977 says, I'd be interested in knowing.
+ p_dumbledore says, FFA in the states = Future Farmers of America..
cassandraclaire73 says, well, one is that the more obvious RH romance
appeals to younger readers, while H/H appeals to older readers who
are picking up on sublter signs in the books
cassandraclaire73 says, (penny's theory)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, That esay that said that sports
(Quidditch) is how people become honorable (which is shit) and in the
old days, Cedric would have been the hero
selah_1977 says, okay... I've heard that one...

is a spear carrier who dies, and Harry is the hero
flying_ford_anglia says, I went over to H/H for a while...

reference to Petunia - but maybe it's a symbol of hate.

today.. Scott ! is yours a film reel ??
hert0661 says, trust me to be on yahoo and missing this lot!
gypsycaine says, it's a tylenol.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Books in which Cedric is the hero have
the viewpoint that good looks and athletic talent are the pre-
requisits for being a worthy human being, and that being bookish
makes a person a bad guy
selah_1977 says, <<would blush if such a thing were possible>> Yes,
thanks to you! I proofed it four times, got pumped up by Penny, and
went for broke.
harry_potter00 says, It's a snowflake but I it's old, I'm about to

account or make up anew one?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes. Shoshonah, Hebrew for LIly
harry_potter00 says, They were free at B&N at with a purchase
selah_1977 says, Oh, that's nice.
€ babynick34 says, Lily, or Lilly? I'm confused. Lily is English -
Latin for Lily Flower. Lilly is Irish, pet name for Elizabeth.

from Pou?

with my name in the subject line!
flying_ford_anglia says, and read bits of that fic
selah_1977 says, I haven't seen her around all weekend.
flying_ford_anglia says, ...very confusing!
siriusgeologist says, Yay...where are you on the reads neil?

way things should be in the canon".

write it - onoly ideas at moment!
siriusgeologist says, well, thats what christmas is for...plus you
still have to read wild swans

though

Harry would marry her.

Telecommunications supplier - like AT&T, Sprint etc.

the Quidditch star is exhausting.
siriusgeologist says, I can not see Harry with Fleur
hert0661 says, I could - just not how she is written in all the fics

loss I found out on Wednesday. I can't have ADSL :-(
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Me neither

while, then coming to his senses and dropping her like a hot potato.
cassandraclaire73 says, i can't see harry with fleur either, alas
harry_potter00 says, I didn't really like Fleur. I don't really
know why tho'...

more competition for ISP's there in GB, and BT is offering more
service ??

siriusgeologist says, oooops snog
selah_1977 says, Cho is horrible. But I think Harry, in a non-H/H
nightmare... I mean world... would date her.
harry_potter00 says, Well Cho's not that great
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Since when is Cho horrible?
hert0661 says, cho is not horrible
hert0661 says, that is fanfic talking agian
fizzwhizbee says, Cho is not horrible
selah_1977 says, In fic, she is.
cassandraclaire73 says, she's not horrible. i didn't say she was!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, She;s a nice person
selah_1977 says, I said she was horrible.
cassandraclaire73 says, no, i never likes her before i read a single
fic
flying_ford_anglia says, Fanfic is in danger of polluting our
purity!
hert0661 says, cho has really lost out in fanfic land!
harry_potter00 says, Ok,, it's just b/c 'm rather taken w/
Hermione...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, She pickeup up Harrry';s dropepd quill
when the rest of the stendets were all hickling him
cassandraclaire73 says, it's more the whole Beatirce/Dante
thing..she's just this girl hARRY YEARNS FOR FROM A DISTANce...she
isn't real

fun...

selah_1977 says, Lavender/Harry? Please.
hert0661 says, now that I do not agree with!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, And she was very polite and
syumpathetic about turning down his inveitation
harry_potter00 says, maybe she predicted it...
cassandraclaire73 says, she's perfectly nice. I just don't like her
for Harry.
cassandraclaire73 says, unless JKR develops hr charatcer in some
interesting way.
harry_potter00 says, Lavender that is...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and she didn't wear a POTTER STINKS
badge, which is exceptional nice if she was already going with Cedric
fizzwhizbee says, It's just ficitonal imperative, Harry thinks she's
great, so
selah_1977 says, (mental note) be careful of stepping on the toes of
Cho fans.
flying_ford_anglia says, I want to see the Patil twins featured
more...
harry_potter00 says, I think that was just the type of person she
is...
fizzwhizbee says, in a fic she has to turn out to be not-so -great
cassandraclaire73 says, yes! i did it. they yell.
flying_ford_anglia says, I have a feeling that twins are
significant...
flying_ford_anglia says, to the story
cassandraclaire73 says, she's nice. perfectly nice. and noring.
cassandraclaire73 says, boring
€ babynick34 says, but we have not heard that much about the twins -
maybe they will feature more in book 5.
selah_1977 says, LOL, Cassie! That's why I refuse to write about
her. Except as an action figure.
harry_potter00 says, all of the predictions about the twins dying-
I hope not
flying_ford_anglia says, I still think Remus has a twin called
Romulus
fizzwhizbee says, I will be disappointed if the twins don't
completely destroy Hogwarts
hert0661 says, kill the twins - that is an idea for my fic!
fizzwhizbee says, in their seventh year pranks
selah_1977 says, We're probably all wrong about people dying. We
were wrong about Harry and Cho before GoF.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, We don't know much about Cho. We know
that Harry's interest in her is purely viusal. WHich is alouzy basis
for a relationship
cassandraclaire73 says, exactly. THAT'S why i don't like her.
fizzwhizbee says, No, he admires the way she plays quidditch
selah_1977 says, I love the twins. Doesn't the Harry/Cho thing
remind you of American Beauty?
cassandraclaire73 says, nothing to do with her personally
selah_1977 says, He thinks she's pretty, too.
flying_ford_anglia says, Harry goes against type when he fancies
Cho..

with school and classes at Hogworts, and how much on dealing with ole
V himself?

hormones

selah_1977 says, Why, Cassie? Stupid reviewers got you down?
gypsycaine . o O ( are spouts part of Christmas dinner? )
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Obviously the nexst bit is Cho's
Recovery, which is where Cho and Ced fall in lvoe, but that is h
arder to write
gypsycaine . o O ( as in brussel spouts???? )
flying_ford_anglia says, sprouts
selah_1977 says, That's why I haven't read it, Rita!
cassandraclaire73 says, well, some of them are thundering stupid'
flying_ford_anglia says, yes - Brussels sprouts
selah_1977 says, It's not at ff.net!
gypsycaine . o O ( nice custom! )
siriusgeologist says, most are just...that was great...want more...
cassandraclaire73 says, but i think most are wellmeaning
harry_potter00 says, Ebony's review page is in my other
window...You've gotten a lot fairly quickly!
selah_1977 says, I was looking all over for "catlady"...
gypsycaine . o O ( :) )
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I posted the first wo episodes of my
Lily serial on our egroup too
sineadsiobhan says, Yummy brussels sprouts
cassandraclaire73 says, i just reviwed you, eb
harry_potter00 says, Except for the one that said you were long
winded. (not me) Nutters- that one was...
siriusgeologist says, I promise a review before I go to bed tonight
selah_1977 says, Cool! Rita, why don't you try ff.net?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, one more community to learn the
etiquette of.....
gypsycaine . o O ( the Vicar of something something....interesting
show. )
€ babynick34 says, .oO (to get your brussel sprots to grow better,
once they start producing sprouts, cut the top off the plant - then
the sprouts get bigger).
siriusgeologist says, Cassie...yours might take longer!
sineadsiobhan says, Gypsy.. Vicar of Duxbury?
cassandraclaire73 says, *cries*
selah_1977 says, I *am* long winded. But Cassie has *everybody*
beat. Didn't think anyone could top Lori's last few chapters.
Loooong.
cassandraclaire73 says, I win!
flying_ford_anglia says, Rita - perform on Broadway not fringe
theatre!
fizzwhizbee says, Is it okay for Beta readers to review on ffnet?
cassandraclaire73 says, actually, there are writers on ffnet who
write longer chapters than me. but not many
siriusgeologist says, I think 50 pages is a record for our group
gypsycaine says, yep....
cassandraclaire73 says, I make my beta readers review.
gypsycaine says, the female vicar show.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I'm a coward. stagefright
selah_1977 says, Still, we'd be able to have you on author alert.
sineadsiobhan says, I watch way too many britcoms
selah_1977 says, that was for Rita.
harry_potter00 says, Broadway would love you! Just don't join the
cast of Susical...
flying_ford_anglia says, Vicar of Dibley?
gypsycaine says, I adore KUA.
cassandraclaire73 says, eb you've gotten all good reviews!
selah_1977 says, Cassie--you only have two beta readers and at least
1000 fans. LOL...
sineadsiobhan says, (I haven't reviewed Cassie's story yet.. eeep)
selah_1977 says, I haven't looked!
harry_potter00 says, in which case you could join our dear friend
Rosie...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, why are people talking about long
chapters on ffnet ? Almost nothing of fanfic is as long as a real
novel or even short story
siriusgeologist says, need to clean up the kitchen...brb
anglinsbees says, Ebony- what is your FF handle?
p_dumbledore is away (Auto-Away)
selah_1977 says, AngieJ, anglinsbees.
+ p_dumbledore says,
p_dumbledore is back.
harry_potter00 says, Yes but reading a long story on FFnet hurts my
eyes, and I'm too cheap to print them out!
anglinsbees says, thanks!
cassandraclaire73 says, i have 6 beta readers.
selah_1977 says, Rita, Lori and Cassie both have novel-length
stories, and Carole and Penny are headed that way.
cassandraclaire73 says, i just rotate them.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Ebony has written a (several?) real
novel, Ebony, why are nreal novels so much longer than fanfic? Is it
being more description?,
sineadsiobhan says, I have so many distractions.. I'm so slow on
Cassie's stories
selah_1977 says, Lucky ladies.
sineadsiobhan says, sorry about not reviewing, Cass
catlady_de_los_angeles says, If Peg were here, I'd ask her too, but
I don't know if she's read any fanfic
fizzwhizbee says, *sneaking off to review Ebony*
€ babynick34 says, Anyone got the Fry version of the CD's? Are they
worth getting? I have the dale versions - but thought I might add
all the Fry versions to my collection as well.
cassandraclaire73 says, you can listen to ebony on the topic of not
reviewing.
cassandraclaire73 says,
cassandraclaire73 says, non-reviewers are ver bad
selah_1977 says, You might want to ask Peg--she's published!
Actually, I think fanfic's much harder to write.
flying_ford_anglia says, Haven't got Fry Nick
catlady_de_los_angeles says, worse than flamers?
sineadsiobhan says, I know.. they're very bad!
sineadsiobhan says, I'm horrid
harry_potter00 says, Isn't that in a real novel you're starting on
at the Beg. and in FF you're building on someone else's stuff...
flying_ford_anglia says, I bought the Dale ones on your
recommendation...
cassandraclaire73 says, real flamers aren't bothersome because it's
so meaningless. it's just a lot of vowels and "I hate you"
harry_potter00 says, I don't know about the tape's. I like Fry but
Dale's more theatrical...
cassandraclaire73 says, it has nothing to do with anything you've
written
sineadsiobhan says, I got one flame which just has " " in its message
selah_1977 says, The reason it took me so long is because my strength
is character creation. My weakness is plot device. Quite the
opposite of what a good fic writer needs.
€ babynick34 says, I prefer the Dale versions - he makes it more
fun, like a Radio play. Fry doesn't seem to do as much character
voices.
sineadsiobhan says, I doubt they liked my story
flying_ford_anglia says, One reads the other performs, I've heard
cassandraclaire73 says, the reviewers i hate are the ones obsessed
with certain characters and pairing who become hystericla when you
deviate from their particualr vision
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Tim said it is the nature of amateur
writing, and cited as example a story on one of his pornography
lists, that in 14 pages have enough events for the plots of four
novels, real novels, not porn which doesn' tneed that much plot
selah_1977 says, I can appreciate well-written anything, even slash.
I'm steeling myself for something other than H/H in the canon. I
think I can be gracious.
+ p_dumbledore says, I have Frys, COS, I liked Dales intrepretation
of the characters voices better.
flying_ford_anglia says, Sorting the wheat from the chaff is hard
on ffnet...
cassandraclaire73 says, a lot of the slash is quite well-written.
flying_ford_anglia says, which is why PoU is handy - quality stuff!
sineadsiobhan says, I like H/H..
catlady_de_los_angeles says, And the first time I read a modern
translation of the Mabinogion, already being familiar with Evangeline
Walton's tetralogy, what continually struck me is that medieval
Mabinoigion
selah_1977 says, I agree, Rita. Some say plotting is easier than
characterization. I tend to disagree, but I've always marched to the
beat of a different drummer.
cassandraclaire73 says, i have a fondness for H/H. but i like D/H and
R/H just as much
cassandraclaire73 says, its just hard to find r/h done decently
cassandraclaire73 says, as we discussed
€ babynick34 says, SOmeone remind me please - what is PoU?
flying_ford_anglia says, Can anyone post any old thing on ffnet?
gypsycaine says, going off keyboard for just while....son is
hungry...
selah_1977 says, Most of the slash is better written than the fluff.
cassandraclaire73 says, i agree, most of it is.
flying_ford_anglia says, Oops
catlady_de_los_angeles says, is so much like my own writing, with
this happend and then this happened and then this happend, and not
very much about the characters's inner feellings
cassandraclaire73 says, although a lot of it is very PWP
sineadsiobhan says, before the infamous Mena... I was not really a
shipper
flying_ford_anglia says, Paradigm of Uncertainty
sineadsiobhan says, I agree with that.. some of the fluff is so rushed
harry_potter00 says, I'm going to start on a Christmas
Fic...something that will most likely me sickeningly sweet...
€ babynick34 says, Is it of FFnet, or somewhere else Neil?
selah_1977 says, Lori and Penny re-converted me... after reading PoA
I was H/H (I read the first 3 in a weekend) but after GoF had a
strange sense of disappointment.
flying_ford_anglia says, Hmmm - my scrolling just locked
harry_potter00 says, I had wanted make Hermione Jewish but now I
don't need too...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, now you don't need to????
fizzwhizbee says, ???
harry_potter00 says, Well the story seems to be morphing a
bit...kinda like Jo and the Wesealy cousin...
fizzwhizbee says, Ah, that happens
catlady_de_los_angeles says, In the real Mabiniogion, the narrator
gives No Reason for why Gwydion told Math to have Arianrhod step over
the magic wand, nor states what fell from her than Gwydion picked up.
flying_ford_anglia says, Nick - an eGroup club
sineadsiobhan says, I was reading something and the R/H shippers were
like
selah_1977 says, There's a reason for the adult H/H leaning. If
psychoanalytic literary theory holds, JKR will lean H/H. According
to Lacan's mirror stage, Hermione is JKR. Harry is the rescuer of
not only Hermione and his friends, but of JKR from her socioeconomic
condition before publishing PS.
sineadsiobhan says, "oh, Rowling has really duped the H/H shippers!
siriusgeologist says, ooo cool analysis
selah_1977 says, I have a draft of a ten page paper on this, but my @!
#(* prof wanted me to review African-American literature. Evil man.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't know what is Lacan's mirror
theory (except that you mentioend refereeing to it in your thesis),
but JKR SAID that Hermione is JKR.
siriusgeologist says, truly evil!!!
sineadsiobhan says, What's your take on the R/H relations in the canon
harry_potter00 says, Really, I wonder in Jo knows that she now has
no choice...
sineadsiobhan says, I like the theory!
€ babynick34 says, Did she? I thought she said that Hermione was
based on her... not that she was her.
harry_potter00 says, I'm kidding but ANYTHING h/h is good..
selah_1977 says, Not that I minded, but Harry is being trashed by one
of my colleagues. Who plans to publish the article, might I add.
harry_potter00 says, Actually she said that she WAS her...
harry_potter00 says, the later.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, A Mary Sue
sineadsiobhan says, If Hermione's middle name turns out to be a
variation
harry_potter00 says, Ok, I'll Bite...What the Heck Is A MARY
SUE????????????????????????????????????????????????
selah_1977 says, My colleague, who is a Ph.D. candidate in kidlit,
told me that the JKR rags-to-riches story is an elaborately
constructed fiction by her publicist.
