hert0661isme,catlady_de_los_angeles,lupinesque,agassizde,Aberforths_Goat
lupinesque says, AberforthsGoat, how'd your sermon go? (OT, shop
talk--sorry--maybe we need a HPforMinisters club)
siriusgeologist enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, everyone
siriusgeologist says, hi there
bludger_witch enters
agassizde says, siriusgeologist: Are you Carole? I'm Monika, I'm here
for the first time!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Simon, do a good job of recording: I have
enough windows open (three!!! that's not SUPPOSED to be many!) that I
expect my WIndows session to crash unexpectedly
siriusgeologist says, hey! hi!!! I was wondering who that was
agassizde says, Hehe.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, There is a list of chat names in Files
Section of egroup HPforGrownUps_Chat Transcripts (can someone turn that
named into a link?)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't know who lunpinesque is
siriusgeologist says, I was going to introduce you to Mike (the
goat)...do you two know you are almost neighbors...well maybe not quite
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and I don't remember who bludger_witch
is, altho' I seem to recall seeing that name on a post yesterday
bludger_witch says, I'm good ol' dinah (well, not *that* old <g>)
lupinesque yells, "For crying out loud!"
siriusgeologist says, I was going to say dinah...
lupinesque says, I'm AmyZ, AmyZ was taken,I'll try to sign my posts
agassizde says, Are you talking to me?? Neighbours?
bludger_witch says, Mike the goat's from Swiss
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I'll add these handles to chat name list
later
siriusgeologist says, He's in switzerland and was looking for otheres in
southern Germany
Aberforths_Goat says, hullo gang, back again!
jferer enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Jim
agassizde says, I'm near Karlsruhe, south west Germany
lupinesque says, I didn't say for crying out loud, I just don't know how
to use the **** emotions. Sorry all, I'll try not to be experimental on
my first chat!
jferer says, Hi, Rita! Hi all!
bludger_witch says, Hey, I'm from Wrzburg!
Aberforths_Goat says, Hoho--perhaps there's hope for German area get
together!
agassizde says, More Germans here, neat!
triner2001 enters
triner2001 says, Hello all
catlady_de_los_angeles says, In Cheetah chat, you can invent your own
'emotions' by starting what you type with : (colon), that prevents the
"Says,"
Aberforths_Goat says, Good to meet you bludger-witch & agassizde!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think it also works in Yahoo
catlady_de_los_angeles demonstrates
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Trina
bludger_witch hiccups and then searches for a glass of water
catlady_de_los_angeles says, In Cheetachat, single click on an emotion
or macro shows it to you, and claims to allow editting, and double click
performs it. I don't know if Yahoo does the same
Aberforths_Goat says, Boo!
bludger_witch says, Whoops, so that's what those look like. Just
experimenting.
Aberforths_Goat says, (Feeling better?
bludger_witch says, I'm terrified and spewed the water over my screen.
Bad Mike.
lupinesque says, thanks, catlady, but I'll just be expressionless ; -
) -AmyZ
Aberforths_Goat says, Always use virtual water
triner2001 says, I have made an intial foray into fanfic this weekend
and now I think I'm hooked
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I always think it's more fun to treat
hiccups by chugging a jigger of bourbon than by someone scaring me
catlady_de_los_angeles says, More fun, but not more succesful
Aberforths_Goat says, vbg!
changeling_de enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, sometimes drinking water from the
oppposite side of the glass works
lupinesque says, I'm also newly hooked on fanfic--who is Blaise?
excellent MWPP writing
bludger_witch says, Oooh, *starts to sing "Hooked on a FanFic" -
everyone ends up there sooner or later
siriusgeologist says, yay! trina...what have you read?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Blaise is a member of our HPfGU egroup
jferer leaves
Aberforths_Goat says, My mother always made me take a sponful of
sugar and vinigar
siriusgeologist says, she sometimes stops in
agassizde says, I'm also addicted to FanFic now...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, she's in first year at Oxford as Classics
major
triner2001 says, Ebony's "Trouble in Paradise"
lupinesque says, great, I'll tell him (?) how good they are
Aberforths_Goat says, How far has Ebony got with TiP?
triner2001 says, and I started "A Sirius Affair" last night
Aberforths_Goat says, I rad chapter 1 and likes it
bludger_witch says, Part 4, I think.
triner2001 says, There's for chapters now
siriusgeologist says, ahhhh Ebony has some great twists coming
up...thanks on ASA
triner2001 says, erm, four chapters
lupinesque says, Ebony promised TIP part 5 yesterday--not there--I am
clearly addicted 'cause I checked back 4 times
agassizde says, I have just finished TIP - it's great.
bludger_witch says, Still have to read it
changeling_de leaves
Aberforths_Goat says, *finished*?? is it over?
SEE MY NUDE PICS! http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/chat.html
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I can't keep up with reading fanfic.
When can I retire from this working for a living time-waste?
siriusgeologist says, She's working on it but got stuck with one
scene...sent her some suggestions about anhour ago...maybe tomorrow
cassandraclaire73 enters
siriusgeologist says, its not nearly finished...didn't I tell you irt
was good Monika?
lupinesque says, For my money, the whole point of fanfic is to save me
from this g'dawful waiting--so it drives me nuts to get to the end of
part 4 and discover it's still unfinished!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, hi, Cassie
cassandraclaire73 says, hallo rita
triner2001 says, Carole, I read Chapters 1 & 2 of ASA, so I still have
lots to go
Aberforths_Goat says, Welcome!
agassizde says, Yeah, Carole, you told me. : )
cassandraclaire73 says,
bludger_witch says, Hehehe, I have something to do for my German classes
tomorrow. just get part 6 of yaels "Krum do I love?" for betaing.
siriusgeologist says, It only gets better from there
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Someone has just confessed to being a new
fanfic addict
cassandraclaire73 says, oooh, who?
triner2001 says, me
jferer enters
lupinesque says, A bunch of us. Me included.
Aberforths_Goat says, So what's your favorite fanfic falks?
cassandraclaire73 says, let me guess..,. PoU
cassandraclaire73 says, falks?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Jim I didn't see you leave!
changeling_de enters
agassizde says, Carole, don't tease me!
triner2001 says, haven't read PoU yet
lupinesque says, falks=fawkes ha ha
siriusgeologist says, hehehehe...you know too much
cassandraclaire73 says, ah, you just got converted in geenral then?
siriusgeologist says, ASA will make more sense once you read PoU
agassizde says, My favorite fics are ASA and Blaise's stories.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, PoU is written like real professional
fiction that is published with covers and everything
changeling_de leaves
cassandraclaire73 says, favorite fanfics? uh...PoU. i think.
jferer says, It's almost as long, too. 87,000 words or so -- SS/PS was
only 90,000
triner2001 says, I've started on ASA, Cassie, and have read what Ebony
has finished so far in TIP
catlady_de_los_angeles says, but I prefer Cassies's paeans to Draco
cassandraclaire73 says, oh! *loves Rita*
lupinesque says, I've only read a few but AngieJ/Ebony (TIP) takes the
prize for keeping the characters in character, esp HRH.
agassizde says, Yes, DD and DS are great, too!
bludger_witch says, DS is my favorite right now - and Hermione's Heart,
by minx. But I haven't read that many stories, so I can't really judge.
cassandraclaire73 says, favorite
writers...ebony....minx...rave..stinkerbell...viola...heidi...rhysenn...
cassandraclaire73 says, its a big bad fanfic world out there!
Aberforths_Goat says, Cass's Dragon tales are the one set I haven't
tried yet. Hopefully, I'm saving the best for last.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I looked at how many installments there
were of Hermione's Heart, and felt intimidated from starting it
bludger_witch says, But the chapters aren't that long. It took me two
hours or something to read it.
cassandraclaire73 says, i think each chapter is pretty short...but i
understand that.
triner2001 says, those are the only 2 I've tried, so I'm sure I have a
whole new world awaiting
cassandraclaire73 says, its good to get recommendations...
cassandraclaire73 says, since there are 13,000 fics on ff.net
jferer says, Now you've got fanfic *of* fanfic!
siriusgeologist says, It definitely keeps you from HP withdrawl...
lupinesque says, I wonder if JKR ever reads them--would she laugh?
cry? think What Have I Wrought?
cassandraclaire73 says, tha's true! ASA is fanfic of fanfic..so is Song
of Time
cassandraclaire73 says, I occasionally wodner if she would faint with
horror.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think she said somewhere that someone
showed her a slash story on the Web and she was disgusted
bludger_witch says, I remember when I had never heard of HP, only that
it was a children's book. And went to ff.net and noticed there were
FanFics of it.
agassizde says, Just shake her head I think (JKR), think we are all
nuts.
bludger_witch says, I thought that was really weird.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I hope by the OOC rather than by the
slash
triner2001 says, so did I
cassandraclaire73 says, I remember telling a friend that there was no
such thing as HP fanfic.
siriusgeologist says, well we are aren't we?
jferer is away (be right back)
lupinesque says, if she read that sirius/remus slash I found last night
she just might...then again it might give her some good ideas for 7 <g>
cassandraclaire73 says, sirius/remus slash bothers me the least.
bludger_witch says, Weird, wicked and proud of it!!!
Aberforths_Goat says, BTW, I believe the nut cases over at
harry-auf-deutsch have transalted all of PoU and DD and are currently
adding their own endings
siriusgeologist says, nooooooo sirius is not gay!
cassandraclaire73 says, hey carole have you revised your opinion on S/G?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Not gay, bi
cassandraclaire73 says, hey if you can't have him he might as well get
remus
agassizde says, Noooo he isnt!
siriusgeologist says, yep..I read Ashley's stuff and emailed her
Aberforths_Goat says, Eh--what's s/g (Sirius Ginny?)
cassandraclaire73 says, hey what do you mean they are adding their own
endings???
bludger_witch says, I started translating those two as practice for my
upcoming English test.
cassandraclaire73 says, Sirius/Ginny
bludger_witch says, Much more fun than some Newsweek article.
triner2001 says, I fought the good fight of *not* reading fanfic, but
caved out of sheer curiosity and raves y'all have given things
triner2001 0
Aberforths_Goat says, Cass: I think so--I was in a hurry and didn't
check carefully
triner2001 says,
cassandraclaire73 says, like with different plots? *boggles*
lupinesque says, I like sb/rl gay because I don't have to feel so
jealous (I'm a woman) -AmyZ the lupinesque is wishful thinking from my
teaching days--I was a good teacher, but not THAT good
Aberforths_Goat says, Have you talked to them at all? Or have they
talked to you??
cassandraclaire73 says, so far i have been translated into german,
french and portuguese.
cassandraclaire73 says, no! i emailed them and they didn't email me
back!
Aberforths_Goat says, <shocked>
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Agree with Amy on not as jealous
cassandraclaire73 says, *shrugs* well there's no evidence they aren't
gay. no evidence for it either, of course. i think they're kinda cute.
lupinesque says, I can't believe I'm worrying about getting jealous of a
fictional character! Add to the list of HP neuroses (growing by the
hour)
catlady_de_los_angeles tries to figure out how to phrase that whether
a slash story is disturbing doesn't depend anywhere near as much on WHO
are the lovers
agassizde says, Lupinesque: Don't worry, we've been there...
siriusgeologist says, I'm still there
dee_97527 enters
bludger_witch says, You have my sentiments. But then, if you're in love
with a fictional character there at least no real broken hearts.
dee_97527 says, Howdy all
agassizde says, Carole: Of course.
cassandraclaire73 says, lo!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, as on What is their Rela0tionship
Aberforths_Goat says, ciao!
bludger_witch says, I think it's actually fun. And I am there, I'm sooo
there <g>
triner2001 says, Hello
siriusgeologist says, And you can make him very thoughtful!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Diann
cassandraclaire73 says, what is their relationship?
siriusgeologist says, leaving mike?
Aberforths_Goat says, no--saying hi to Di
siriusgeologist says, ohhh...duh...
siriusgeologist says, hi
bludger_witch says, Isn't Ciao = Bye???
lupinesque says, catlady: for me it seems to be style. I can't get
into the clubbing gay male hot pants scene. Slah or hetero, I don't
care, I just like it <romantic>, i.e. lots of kisses, not lots of talk
about high fashion
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (Tim was trying to tell me about an HP
slash that was full of rapes ... I said Good Guys Don't Do That)
Aberforths_Goat says, Amy: lol
bludger_witch says, Blergh. That's kinda sick.
dai_evans enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Dai
dai_evans says, Hi there all
lupinesque says, Ugh, that's disgusting, only deatheaters rape
bludger_witch says, Hey!
cassandraclaire73 says, as long as it isn't Sirius/Harry...
siriusgeologist says, hey dai
hert0661isme is back.
hert0661isme says, Hello all - just got back with some dinner
cassandraclaire73 says, hey Si.
cassandraclaire73 says, heh heh.
siriusgeologist says, ewwwww S/H too close to incest
agassizde says, Absolutely
cassandraclaire73 says, i know it's among the few pairings that actively
revolts me.
hert0661isme open flamethrower for the use of Si
cassandraclaire73 says,
Aberforths_Goat says, Rats--I can't remember who hert0661 is--any
tips??
cassandraclaire73 says, i know you hate that.
lupinesque says, S/H incest: yes, the kid needs a father, stay out of
his bed please thank you
hert0661isme says, simon
siriusgeologist says, simon
cassandraclaire73 says, si
cassandraclaire73 says, *hides*
Aberforths_Goat says, aha, aha--and welcome back!
siriusgeologist says, whats for dinner
catlady_de_los_angeles says, in re falling in love with a fictional
character (to the point of getting jealous over his/her fictional
lovers) -- a considerable amount of falling in love with so-called real
people is really falling in love with a fictional character
catlady_de_los_angeles says, That handsome boy in Potions who always
makes good jokes, but you've never spoken to him in your life.....
dai_evans says, Madras with rice birriani
cassandraclaire73 says, i don't think ive managed to fall madly enough
in love with anyone in HP that, er, pairing them up makes me jealous.
cassandraclaire73 says, but we will see.
agassizde says, You're lucky
hert0661isme says, Chips and chilli - from kebab van
lupinesque says, ooh, don't talk about Indian food, it's 3:30 here and
I'm h u n g r y
catlady_de_los_angeles says, or a celebrity whose autographed photo
you cherish, and whose public appearances you all attend
siriusgeologist says, I'm not jealous of cordelia...I just pretend I am
Aberforths_Goat says, easy for you, cass--you can make 'em do whatevr
you want to!
cassandraclaire73 says, of course I spent an hour on the phone with lori
last night devising outfits for Harry, that's not a sign of mental
well-being.
cassandraclaire73 says, lol! -- true
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Carole: but you are jealous of Cassie's
Narcissa?
cassandraclaire73 says, no she just thinks she's undeveloped.
cassandraclaire73 says, which she is/
hert0661isme says, It's 8:30 and I have only had a quick sandwich for
lunch!
siriusgeologist says, Not at all....right...what cassie said
siriusgeologist says, her character is not right for what I see as
Sirius
Aberforths_Goat says, what's a kebab van?
cassandraclaire73 says, well, we have different views of Sirius. Which
is fine!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Why didn't he get a kebab from kebab van?
lupinesque says, I figure as long as you treat your real relationships
like they're real, you're doing okay. If I expect my dear spouse to
start cracking Ronlike jokes it's a tad unfair (no need anyway, he's the
funniest person I know without it)
siriusgeologist says, absolutely
cassandraclaire73 says, hey, a Ron fan.
hert0661isme says, A van which sells kebabs and other stuff - such as
chips
lupinesque says, Ron fan: Aren't we all?
agassizde says, Not especially
cassandraclaire73 says, well, no. But I was thinking he needed more
attention in chat.
triner2001 says, I'm fond of all the Weasleys, even the uptight Percy
cassandraclaire73 says, Percy has many a fan club.
hert0661isme says,
http://www.egroups.com/files/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/Chatter%27s+List
gives list of chatters name (at least the ones I know)
hert0661isme This chat will be saved and posted on the E-group:
http://www.egroups.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts
agassizde says, All of them exept Percy. He's too stiff.
cassandraclaire73 says, I like Charlie.
siriusgeologist says, I love Bill
selah_1977 enters
cassandraclaire73 says, yay!
Aberforths_Goat says, Hi Eb!
triner2001 says, Hi Ebony!
agassizde says, Bill is cool
selah_1977 says, booga, booga, booga...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Everyone loves Bill. It's a cliche.
cassandraclaire73 says, Bill is cool too. He has an earring.
siriusgeologist says, Hi ebony!
lupinesque says, Aha, I've figured it out: Percy is to the grownup
fandom what Hermione is to the kid fandom: the character you love to
despise
bludger_witch says, I know someone who has read hair and who I had a
crush on. he's a weird mixture of draco and percy.
bludger_witch says, Hi Ebony!
selah_1977 says, Hi, all! :::giggling::::
cassandraclaire73 says, draco and percy...? gah!
siriusgeologist says, hmmm mix of draco and percy?
Aberforths_Goat says, Dinah: what?? (retching)
jferer is back.
cassandraclaire73 says, ebony's here...*dances*
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Ebony. People was been drooling over
your TIP
hert0661isme says, I have come to the conclusion that Percy is very
much like Arthur - it is just that Arthur has mellowed out as he has
missed out on so many promotions due to love of muggle things
selah_1977 says, What are we discussing?
lupinesque says, Hi Ebony, we were raving about TIP (get off chat and
finish part 5 NOW please)
cassandraclaire73 says, well, stay, butt hen finish it.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Just now we were saying our Favorite
Weasley
Aberforths_Goat says, That's right. Ebony, go away and awrite us a
story!
selah_1977 says, I'm working on part 5 as we speak...
lupinesque says, mix of draco & percy: sounds like ingredients for a
really evil potion
It's super! Thanks for downloading!
http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/chat.html
hert0661isme says, Ginny of course is my favourite!
Aberforths_Goat says, Gads--mutlitasking?
selah_1977 says, Percy bashers are HORRIBLE!
selah_1977 says, (panting)
siriusgeologist says, YAY! Did you get my email?
triner2001 says, Ebony, I made a first dabble into fanfic with TIP ( and
you Emily story)
cassandraclaire73 says, percy bashers?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cassie's Charlie is a Really Nice Guy
selah_1977 says, People who say Percy is -------fill in the
blank--------.
cassandraclaire73 says, Or so he seems....
cassandraclaire73 says, j/k. I love Charlie.
triner2001 says, Thank you Ebony, I like Percy too!
siriusgeologist says, except when his impersonator turns all evil
cassandraclaire73 says, yeah but that's not Charlie's fault.
selah_1977 says, Trina, you know you have good taste--you're an Anne fan
after all.
lupinesque says, sisiusgeologist: huh? is this a fanfic spoiler?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yes, it was a fanfic spoiler
selah_1977 says, I love Cassie's Charlie as well!
triner2001 says, lol Ebony
cassandraclaire73 says, in the sequel, Charlie will be Crae of Magical
Creatures Teacher at Hogwarts
bludger_witch says, Charlie's the nicest, cutiest and sexiest Weasley.
cassandraclaire73 says, i gotta keep him around.
bludger_witch says, Basta!
siriusgeologist says, oooops sorry ignore that remark
Aberforths_Goat says, perch?
selah_1977 says, Yes! ::dances at the thought of DS sequel Percy:::
lupinesque says, I wonder how much crossover there is on Anne fandom.
Someone should do a poll: crossover to Anne, Star Trek, etc.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Will he have gotten a variance for the
no-dragon-keeping in Britain ordinance?
selah_1977 says, Don't forget Buffy fans...
triner2001 says, Buffy rocks!
siriusgeologist says, 'an anne Startrek fanfic?
lupinesque says, Charlie COMC teacher? What have you done with our
Hagrid?
cassandraclaire73 says, no, he'll be dragonless at Hogwarts. Probably
all the girl students will drool over him..
bludger_witch says, I had a weird Buffy/HP/Ginny the Vampire Slayer
x-over dream tonight.
agassizde says, Don't kill Hagrid!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, What are all the things for which Dragons
are too valuable to kill for their leather (and liver? or does that grow
back?)
cassandraclaire73 says, I actually hate Hagrid and will probably send
him off to visit Maxime or soemthing
selah_1977 says, aw, you hate Hagrid? I was starting to think you were
perfect, Cassie!
dai_evans says, you fiend, cass
lupinesque says, BTW I wonder why so little Hagrid in fanfic (so far, as
I said I'm a newbie). Maybe no one can imagine him in bed so that kind
of narrows the possibilities
agassizde says, He'll be fine there.
triner2001 says, Has anyone noted how many HP references the WB shows
have made lately?
cassandraclaire73 says, Dragon's blood and dragon scales, dragon
fire...all are useful in Potions
dai_evans says, WB?
jferer is away (busy)
cassandraclaire73 says, No one is perfect!
selah_1977 says, None of us should be imagining any of the kid
characters in bed... so we're all a little sick
triner2001 says, Warner Bros tv shows
catlady_de_los_angeles says, the boy students will drool over him too
-- not necessarily sexually, just begging for Quiddtich playing advice
cassandraclaire73 says, Hagrid is very hard to write because of his
dialect, thnat's he doesn't show up much
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Ebony - just age them up a little
bludger_witch says, Hagrid can be obnoxious and stupid. He may be cute
when you read him but he is not a character I'd like to write about.
selah_1977 says, Oh, makes sense!
dai_evans says, Is Buffy a Warner production?
cassandraclaire73 says, he's a creepy alcoloic livig all alone in his
Unabomber hut...
triner2001 says, yup
selah_1977 says, LOL!
dai_evans says, I spotted one the other day.
triner2001 says, Well it's on the WB network
agassizde says, He has nice pets, hehe.
cassandraclaire73 says, Yes Buffy is a WB production
cassandraclaire73 says, but is is made my Fox
lupinesque says, WB is giong to do product placement if it kills them.
If they can't use HP to sell cigs, they'll use Buffy to sell HP.
cassandraclaire73 says, hard to explain
selah_1977 says, hi Carole--I did get your e-mail and thanks!
bludger_witch says, Ebony: But we are imagining grown-up kid-characters
in bed, so that's allright, right?
selah_1977 says, Of course it is!
siriusgeologist says, cool
dai_evans says, Buffy's sister mentioned Hogwarts, last episode I saw
fizzwhizbee enters
triner2001 says, They battled a troll in last week's episode
fizzwhizbee leaves
cassandraclaire73 says, That's the only Buffy reference ive seen
bludger_witch says, Buffy has a sister?
selah_1977 says, Hi Pippin!
cassandraclaire73 says, yeah but that doesn't count.
dai_evans says, Hi
Aberforths_Goat says, Hi Pippin!
cassandraclaire73 says, hey pip!
bludger_witch says, Hi!
agassizde says, Hi
selah_1977 says, she left... uh-oh...
triner2001 says, On 7th Heaven the man teacher was named Riddle
lupinesque says, Okay, time for someone to write a fanfic where Buffy
dates Harry --AmyZ, who's never seen an entire Buffy episode (saw 5
minutes once)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Buffy has a sister who suddenly appeared
at the beginning of this season and to say anything else about her would
be a spoiler
triner2001 says, the mean teacher
cassandraclaire73 says, oh god no no crossovers i hate crossovers
selah_1977 says, NO!
dai_evans says, No, Harry can't have Buffy, I'm next on her boyfriend
list
catlady_de_los_angeles says, For a young character in ANY show to
mention Hogwarts is just realism
selah_1977 says, If Buffy dates Harry, she has to die.
lupinesque says, Good, I hate crossovers too, I was j/k
agassizde says, lupinesque: Oh, I also saw only 5 minutes of one
episode!
cassandraclaire73 says, if they date, I will die.
selah_1977 says, LOL, Cassie!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, she has to DIE???? Can't they just break
up amicably?
bludger_witch says, Lupin shall eat Buffy if she starts dating Harry!
selah_1977 says, No. She has to die.
cassandraclaire73 says, there was a parody article about how horrible
the HP movie might be on Salon, in which they mentioned Buffy dating
Harry.
siriusgeologist says, I haven't even seen that...its on while the kids
still have TV custody
dai_evans says, I saw that
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Lupin/Oz
triner2001 says, lol Rita
selah_1977 says, Oz, the HBO show? I love it.
lupinesque says, Drat, gotta get off for awhile, I'm tying up the only
phone line and I'm expecting work calls. Back soon.
lupinesque is away (be right back)
lupinesque leaves
fizzwhizbee enters
triner2001 says, Oz, Willow's ex-werewolf boyfriend
fizzwhizbee leaves
cassandraclaire73 says, oz...sigh
selah_1977 says, oh, you can tell I don't watch Buffy...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (no, Oz a Buffy character ... there was a
post not long ago about Oz (wiz), Oz (HBO), and Oz (Aus)
hert0661isme says, Oz - who cares!
dai_evans says, Seth Green upstaging everyone except ASH
dee_97527 leaves
cassandraclaire73 says, love oz!
triner2001 says, It's my Tuesday night addiction
cassandraclaire73 says, oz gets the best lines
triner2001 says, who is ASH?
dai_evans says, Anthony Stewart Head
cassandraclaire73 says, giles
triner2001 says, love Giles!
selah_1977 says, Oh, stop, Simon--before a thousand fanfic writers
squeeze you into leather trouseres...
selah_1977 says, trousers
dai_evans says, Death by leather trousers?
cassandraclaire73 says, hee-hee simon in leather
hert0661isme says, I have asked for that now - haven't I?1
bludger_witch says, Okay, tossing question in here: (FanFic purpose) If
Remus had kids, would they turn into little furballs everyfull moon? I
imagine them to be cute little wolfies, but on an animagus level.
cassandraclaire73 says, love buffy--i get hold of the secripts before
they air
bludger_witch says, Giles is great!
triner2001 says, Ebony, do you have tomorrow off?
hert0661isme says, that was one silly comment i made earlier!
rgoertz93 enters
bludger_witch says, Though ASH... that reminds me of Pokemon!
dai_evans says, Cass, doesn't that take the fun out of it?
selah_1977 says, yes, Trina! (dances with glee)
agassizde says, bludger_witch: Why should they?
rgoertz93 leaves
triner2001 says, Cassie, how does *that* happen?
rgoertz93 enters
cassandraclaire73 says, eh?
hert0661isme says, why tomorrow off?
triner2001 says, me too! (also dancing!)
bludger_witch says, It's not in the genes, so it's a nono? *pouting*
they'd be soo cute!
selah_1977 says, the King holiday
triner2001 says, Martin Luther King Day
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I discussed with Moon as result of my
'review' of Call of the Wild (by Wolfie Twins -- that is a fanfic
recommendation)
triner2001 says, Schools are out
hert0661isme says, I cant complain - I have no mondy lectures this
term!
fizzwhizbee enters
dai_evans says, Same here.
fizzwhizbee says, hi
dai_evans says, I hate monday lectures
selah_1977 says, There's Pippin!
cassandraclaire73 says, oh...because I work for an entertainemnt
paper...sometimes we get scripts/shows to review ahead of time
agassizde says, bludger_witch: Lupin has been bitten, so it's not in the
genes, I suppose.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Pippin, you FINALLY GOT IN!!!
hert0661isme says, I hate morning lectures!
siriusgeologist says, deo you get to comment on them?
fizzwhizbee says, Yea!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, In magic, there is inheritance of
acquired characteristics (Lamarckianism)
hert0661isme says, yes - get to fill in anonymous questionaires about
them!
cassandraclaire73 says, no, im not a TV reviewers. I just steal them
from the reviewers.
siriusgeologist says, aha.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Lycanthropy can be hereditary .... from
the father
dai_evans says, I get that. It's so much fun telling the lecturer he's
an asshole and signing your name anyway
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Female werevolves can't carry a pregnancy
to term because the monthly transofrmations are just too hard ont he
fetus
agassizde says, So no werewolf cubs?
jferer is back.
hert0661isme says, I walked out of one subject cos the class tutor
was so bad - in the middle of teh first class!
selah_1977 says, hi, Jim...
jferer says, ...but Hagrid tried raising them under his bed. (CoS)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Werewolf cubs born to a non-lycanthropic
witch who maybe didn't even know what was coming (*disclaimer*)
jferer says, Hi, Ebony. Going to be in and out.
fizzwhizbee says, JKR said in an interview that Tom was slandering
Hagrid
dai_evans says, I told one lecturer he was the most boring one I'd ever
had. In the middle of a lecture. It was sweet.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, JKR said Riddle was just lying when he
accused Hagrid of raising werewolf cubs
fizzwhizbee says, about the werewolf cubs
hert0661isme says, I am unabl to do that to most lecturerers - I
spend most of them asleep!
dai_evans says, Ha ha ha.
changeling_de enters
selah_1977 says, Hmmm... thinking about the female werewolf
thing...Another Weird Question--if a pregnant woman took Polyjuice
Potion, what would happen?
bludger_witch says, Thanks for the ww thoughts. So I'll stick to my
furry babies once a month idead.
fizzwhizbee says, Even more interesting if non pregnant person
polyjuiced a pregnant one
selah_1977 says, LOL, Dai!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Female werewolf can't have a live baby --
female Animagus can -- yet anoither way in which it is better to be an
ANimagus than werewolf
cassandraclaire73 says, oh dear. Lori and i were discussing many a
perverse use for Polyjuice potion...
cassandraclaire73 says, but that didn't come up
siriusgeologist says, thats not going to happen in tip?
selah_1977 says, Just answer the question, you guys... theories?
Aberforths_Goat is away (Auto-Away)
rgoertz93 says, or, how about bi-polar people taking the polyjuice
potion?
cassandraclaire73 says, this is where we all gang up on Ebony and demand
to know who the father is...
selah_1977 says, Answer the question!
dai_evans says, What was the question?
selah_1977 says, <-------faints with exasperation
cassandraclaire73 says, well, polyjuice turns you into the other
person..so I guess you'd be pregnant too
dai_evans says, Bye
siriusgeologist says, I know...mwahahahaha
selah_1977 says, Bye, Dai...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Polyjucie is temporary .. the fetus would
only shrink to invisibility while the motehr was transformed
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dai, why leaving so soon?
bludger_witch says, We'd get a normal looking person with a huge belly?
cassandraclaire73 says, i mean, it copies everything down to injuries,
so
cassandraclaire73 says, bye dai!
triner2001 says, I read in one book of a were which was wolf for most
of the time and human was the "mutation" sort of an oppostie of the
werewolf
dai_evans says, No, I'm not going. I was saing bye to Ebony who fainted
cassandraclaire73 says, oh never mind then
selah_1977 says, LOL!
Aberforths_Goat is back.
Aberforths_Goat says, Hmm. I stray a bit, but has anyone ever
suggested that Snape is actually Harry's father, having pulled an
UtherPendragon with polyjuice?
dai_evans says, I should have been more clear
cassandraclaire73 says, it's been suggested in fanfic.
changeling_de leaves
fizzwhizbee says, Yes, I did at the board
Aberforths_Goat says, Hm.. RAts. All the good ideas are taken. sigh.
dai_evans says, You can do the same ideas better though
cassandraclaire73 says, it does seem like everything's been done.
selah_1977 says, If JKR reveals that Snape is the father, I burn my
books. j/k
fizzwhizbee says, It's not the idea, it's what you do with it
cassandraclaire73 says, yeah exactly you can do it better.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, A non-pregnant person shapeshifting with
Polyjuice into a pregnant person would aonl LOOK pregnant
bludger_witch says, Mike:You read Mists of Avalon too often
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Harry doesn't look like Snape
cassandraclaire73 says, fanfic is folk literature...we're just telling
the same stories over and over. it's th way you tell it.
Aberforths_Goat says, NOT. only twice.
fizzwhizbee says, Four gospels, best example, Mike, all same idea
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I don't believe Polyjuice changes the DNA
in gametes
bludger_witch says, Because everything's been done and I have my own
ideas I try to read as little FanFic as possible - does this make sense?
selah_1977 says, OK--more specific then. A pregnant woman morphs via
Polyjuice into a non-pregnant (!) man.
cassandraclaire73 says, so she can smoke and drink?
selah_1977 says, LOL!
dai_evans says, It's magic. Don't question it
bludger_witch says, That's defined as beer-belly, isn't it?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, The fetus shrinks to a little spot on
'her' liver
selah_1977 says, What happens to the fetus?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and comes backa to normal when the
Polyjuice wears off
fizzwhizbee says, What happens to the rest of the mass when Pettigrew
turns into a rat?
dai_evans says, It takes a holiday to Canada
cassandraclaire73 says, what happens to harry's scar when he turns into
Goyle?
bludger_witch says, It depends on what happens to the inner organs. I
guess it just shrinks along with the other female-specific organs.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, There is no conservation of mass/energy
in JKR's magic
Aberforths_Goat says, Perhaps polyjuice was invented by good wizard
girls gone awry ...
selah_1977 says, So you don't think Polyjuice would have a warning
label--"Pregnant Women and Nursing Mothers" should avoid drinking this?
Escape from the browser! Use the Yahoo! Chat Client -
http://messenger.yahoo.com/messenger/chat.html
triner2001 says, But the polyjuice potion only changes the outward
appearance- the person still thinks as his/her self so perhaps the
organs don't change
fizzwhizbee says, It's a proscribed potion anyway, isn't it?
flying_ford_anglia enters
dai_evans says, Hi Neil
selah_1977 says, hi, Neil! Thanks for the e-mail... it's helped so
much!
Aberforths_Goat says, Hi Neil!
triner2001 says, Neil!
siriusgeologist says, hi neil
fizzwhizbee says, Hi Neil
catlady_de_los_angeles says, But a person who is Polyjuiced can be
killed -- can die -- so presumably can have other permanent
effects.......????
flying_ford_anglia says, Hello, one and all...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Neil
cassandraclaire73 says, hiya
bludger_witch says, It's supposed to be really dangerous, right?
Probably not only because of it's "Dark use possibilities" but also
because of physical dangers
bludger_witch says, Hey Neil!
dai_evans says, Like accidentally turning yourself into a cat
selah_1977 says, (treading dangerous waters here) well--if the fetus is
viable outside the womb, it's another person. So would the fetus,
having ingested Polyjuice, transform too?
dai_evans says, duh!
triner2001 says, poor Hermione!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, 1) British MoM is real 'nanny state' and
outlaws things that are not really all that bad
cassandraclaire73 says, *boggles* oh dear.
Aberforths_Goat says, Perhaps you end up with two people
catlady_de_los_angeles says, 2) the dangers have to do with using
Polyjuice wrong
selah_1977 says, the fetus becomes a mini version of that person being
transformed into
cassandraclaire73 says, i have to say i think it might kill the fetus.
cassandraclaire73 says, it seems like a bad idea.
hert0661isme says, Hello
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I really believe that in magic, the
fetus's body is not treated like another person.
dai_evans says, Hello
fizzwhizbee says, Hi Simon
catlady_de_los_angeles says, even if, as some say, it's soul/mind can
communicate telepathically
selah_1977 says, Thanks, Cassie! I'll think on it some more.
Aberforths_Goat says, How's your digestion, Simon?
cassandraclaire73 says, are you still refusing to try on leather
trousers and mail us a photo?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I desperately envied Hermione
accidentally turning herself into a cat
agassizde is away (Auto-Away)
dai_evans says, Cats do have it easy
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I would have proudly insisted on staying
that way, not been embarrassed
hert0661isme says, Fine - the kebab van I go to is one of teh best
food outlets in Oxford
fizzwhizbee says, So Ebony, my guess, someone polyjuiced herself into
Hermione and tricked Ron?
cassandraclaire73 says, well it would have been more fun for her if
she'd made it all the way to catness. not just half-catness.
hert0661isme says, I have a meal from it most weeks
triner2001 says, but she wasn't a total cat
dai_evans says, Bloodyhell, I wouldn't want to go to Oxford
agassizde is back.
cassandraclaire73 says, this does not explain Ron's love child.
hert0661isme says, No leather!
selah_1977 says, LOL@
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (Dai - -remember she was a cat humanoid,
not a cat cat)
selah_1977 says, LOL!
jferer is away (Auto-Away)
hert0661isme says, The kebab van is very good
dai_evans says, So she still has to work?
flying_ford_anglia says, Looking like she needs a shave ain't good...
hert0661isme says, I am talking about places to get chip based meals
dai_evans says, Oh ok
bludger_witch says, McDonalds?
dai_evans says, Is bad
hert0661isme says, the choices are only mc's, bk, kfc and kebab vans!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (a total cat can have a hard or easy
life, depening on whether it has people or is feral)
bludger_witch says, Of cpourse!
jferer leaves
flying_ford_anglia says, Haute Cuisine...?
triner2001 says, My cats have a wonderfully easy life!
dai_evans says, (my cat can go for 24hrs without moving
cassandraclaire73 says, eb...i was trying to explain everything in TIP
to Lori...and I realized how complicated it was. That's a compliment.
cassandraclaire73 says, i gave up
hert0661isme says, cant afford anything more expensive than the kebab
van!
dai_evans says, Simon, Ever tried cooking ?
Aberforths_Goat says, The van or the contents?
bludger_witch says, SSS : Starving Student Syndrome?
rgoertz93 is away (Auto-Away)
selah_1977 says, LOL! I told Lori it was soapish... thanks for the
compliment, but I think I may have turned her off!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Another fanfic crossover, this time with
Furry Fandom: Hermione and whoever you pair her with making out while
she has silky strokable cat fur all over........
hert0661isme says, I cook most nights - i like to have one day off
cassandraclaire73 says, no i think the 'Ron's love child" thing turned
her back on.
hert0661isme says, last weekend i cooked at a weekend conference for
80
dai_evans says, Yeah I know what you mean. But I don't eat, just drink
cassandraclaire73 says, i think im under orders to email it to her
selah_1977 says, LOL! She's my role model... tell her I won't let her
down...
dai_evans says, Single handed?
hert0661isme says, in a group of six
Aberforths_Goat says, Say Neil, congrats to you and all the others
who ended up on CNN. Wow! (Or is this a warning about what could happen
to the rest of us ... )
cassandraclaire73 says, well they're very different, PoU and TIP...i
love the soapiness!
flying_ford_anglia says, Hmmmm...
dai_evans says, I used to work in a restaurant. I've done 130 between 7
before now
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Is there an rgoertz here despite the
''leaves' message?
flying_ford_anglia says, I wonder if JKR saw that?
rgoertz93 is back.
cassandraclaire73 says, i hope she did...
rgoertz93 says, yeah
hert0661isme says, I did 150 between 10 last year
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, rgoertz, I don't remember who you are
Aberforths_Goat says, Was it just on CNN's website or did they
mention something on air?
cassandraclaire73 says, slightly OT: has anyone read "a heartbreaking
work of staggering genius"?
dai_evans says, That's pretty harsh. What position do you play?
selah_1977 says, My dream since I was 14 is to really write the most
angst-ridden love story of all time. I can't write happily ever after
for some reason. I guess it's because of my childhood... ::sniffles::
rgoertz93 says, I have been on egroups a while. I mainly lurk.
hert0661isme says, position?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I didn't read A hb w of sg
cassandraclaire73 says, angst is more fun that happily ever after.
dai_evans says, KP? KA, Commis chef?
selah_1977 says, Yes!
cassandraclaire73 says, there was a parody on the Net--Harry Potter and
the Heartbreaking work of staggering genius
catlady_de_los_angeles says, but Michael Silverblatt on BOOKWORM is so
in love with it
cassandraclaire73 says, it was really funny
selah_1977 says, But H/H happily ever after is awfully nice... which is
why I'll keep my pen away from my favorite pairing
Aberforths_Goat says, What does angst ( as a lit. descrip.) mean,
anyway?
dai_evans says, That was funny
catlady_de_los_angeles says, that I understood the parody
Aberforths_Goat says, scary? worried?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, neurotic self-torture
hert0661isme says, It was a student conference cooked for and
organised by students - I was second in command (dont know what that
equates to)
cassandraclaire73 says, tormented characters. brooding. darkness.
despair.
bludger_witch says, Deppressed, downright suicidal, neurotic... The more
msierable, the angstier
hert0661isme says, I did most of teh veg and salad prep for all meals
Aberforths_Goat says, like hp4gu, eh.
dai_evans says, Oh right. Pretty harsh though...
cassandraclaire73 says, anything with snape.
hert0661isme says, but got out of the early morning having to do
brekkie!
bludger_witch says, Ha! He doesn't ahve to be all angsty.
dai_evans says, Oh lord. I used to do 10 hours shifts on desserts.
selah_1977 says, Hee hee! Don't you love it! But I don't like to read
angst--I love reading action, adventure, with nice romance subplots.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Silverblatt did a series he called 'a
heartbreaking group of staggering geniuses' on recent young writers who,
I guess, all came out of (what's his name) magazine
hert0661isme says, I did 7:30 am til 3 pm on two cups of tea (no
breakfast or lunch) and only 30 mins break last Sunday
cassandraclaire73 says, yeah. id agree. i like nice mixes of things. and
i tend to like funny.
hert0661isme says, I was starving and tired by the end of that!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, being ansgty abaout ten hour shifts on
desserts would sound like self-pity
cassandraclaire73 says, but with a series you don't want to have your
characters happily ever after...or you get Moonllighting syndrome
bludger_witch says, Angst can make me really cry - the characters and
emotions are often real intense and well-written.
triner2001 says, Y'all, I hate to go, but I have to finish cleaning my
apartment and since I have no house-elves, or a wand I have to do the
Muggle way
selah_1977 says, Yes, you are funny, Cassie--you redeemed Draco for me.
Give a URL for the work of Staggering Genius, someone, please...
dai_evans says, That's an early start for a kitchen. I didn't have to
start till 11. But it went on till 1am with a 2 hr break
babynick34 enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, SImon: if you were working on coooking
during the whole conference, you must have missed out on all the program
items and most of the netweorking
selah_1977 says, Hi, Nick!
cassandraclaire73 says, now that Lori's got Harry and Hermione together
we spend hours trying to figre out how to split them up
fizzwhizbee says, Ebony, since you said Tempest xover would be good I
have been thinking about it
babynick34 says, Hi all
dai_evans says, Hi there
Aberforths_Goat says, Hi Ncik!
fizzwhizbee says, Hi
selah_1977 says, You should write it Pippin.
triner2001 says, Bye, yall
bludger_witch says, Hy!
flying_ford_anglia says, Hello Nick - BIG words!
Aberforths_Goat says, Bye!
hermione_g_hp enters
selah_1977 says, No, Trina--don't leave us!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Nick
hert0661isme says, Hello Nick
flying_ford_anglia says, Bye Trina
catlady_de_los_angeles says, By Trina
bludger_witch says, Bye!
dai_evans says, God it's busy in here. I can hardly breath.
hert0661isme says, I made it to half each of two of the main meetings
selah_1977 says, NO! Lori can't split up Harry and Hermione! NOOOOOO!
cassandraclaire73 says, Ebony:
http://www.modernhumorist.com/mh/0005/harry/excerpt.html
selah_1977 says, thanks--back in a tick...
cassandraclaire73 says, well she can't keep them always together and
happy either.
babynick34 says, So what's the latest gossip. I'm way behind on
reading messages.
triner2001 says, I have laundry and have to vaccuum & I promised I'd
only stay till 4:00 and it's 4:15
siriusgeologist says, bye
bludger_witch says, Cassie: Oh yes, that was sooo funny!
fizzwhizbee says, Bye
dai_evans says, bye
agassizde says, bye
hert0661isme says, We were doing brekkie, coffee break, lunch, tea
break, dinner and cocoa
catlady_de_los_angeles says, They can be always together and happy and
still have dangerous adventures saving the world, like Agatha Christe's
Tommy and Tuppence pair
dai_evans says, I hope they paid well
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (or my Prewetts)
hert0661isme says, no pay - it was for the Christian Union at uni
that I am a member of
fizzwhizbee says, Nick and Nora Charles!
Aberforths_Goat says, Nick: well, to begin with we're (in?)famous
hert0661isme says, did not have to pay to go on the conference
dai_evans says, OH MY GOD. I thought I was getting bad on 25 for 10 hrs
catlady_de_los_angeles says, You certainly sould not have had to pay
to MISS the conference!
andreahbon enters
hert0661isme says, I volunteered to do it
dai_evans says, Was the conference worth it?
babynick34 says, why are we famous, or infamous?
hert0661isme says, a battle that has had to be thought in the past
Cat
triner2001 leaves
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, hermione_g_hp and andreahbon
selah_1977 says, back--LOL!
Aberforths_Goat says, Er, has Lori done something horrible to HArry
and Hermione?
cassandraclaire73 says, no no no she hasn't done anything!
selah_1977 says, Hi to all newcomers... I'm laughing so hard that my
stomach is hurting!
hert0661isme says, the meeting that I made and stayed asleep in was
good and we got lots of compliements about teh food
catlady_de_los_angeles says, We were on salon.com and CNN besides of
Wand Talk
bludger_witch says, *Will* she do something horrible?
cassandraclaire73 says, i didn't mean she was going to split them up
either, just that we're always trying to find nifty sources of tension
and conflict
selah_1977 says, We need as much good H/H fic as we can get... the
R/Hers are quietly plotting our demise.
babynick34 says, sounds a good meeting Simon.
cassandraclaire73 says, ha! if I said what was going to happen in TSNE
Lori would kill me.
dai_evans says, I never got complements, just shit off the waiting
staff.
flying_ford_anglia says, Don't tell me...! (about Lori's fic)
hert0661isme says, It was - just left me very tired
selah_1977 says, I can't wait until the next chapter...
fizzwhizbee says, R/Hers are Noisely plotting your demise (mwhahhaa)
hert0661isme says, well we had to serve as well (just chuck pots of
stuff onto the tables - so could go and talk to teh people eating)
cassandraclaire73 says, The R/H ers do seem to be gearing up for the Big
Battle...
bludger_witch says, I'm afraid, very afraid!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Oh, Pippin, which ship are you?,
selah_1977 says, <--------shrugs at the R/Hers with pitchforks
dai_evans says, Gonna do it again next year?
siriusgeologist says, I wonder why it has to be a battle
catlady_de_los_angeles hums, the best ship is friend-ship
siriusgeologist says, gag
Aberforths_Goat says, retch
flying_ford_anglia says, I started a fic and I'm stuck already...
hert0661isme says, I finish this year so it is not really an option -
unless I stay around for more study!
selah_1977 says, LOL!
fizzwhizbee says, Well, I am not violently anything...but I have a
sneaking sympathy for R/H
siriusgeologist says, whats it about neil?
Aberforths_Goat says, What? Neil?? What's it about???
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Neil, for real? Can we talk about it?
hert0661isme says, I've started a fic - but dont have enough time as
I am trying to FAQ
dai_evans says, Gonna get out of uni, no PhDs in the offing?
selah_1977 says, That's why Pippin's my beta--couldn't have rabid H/Hers
beta-ing my fic... Inner Shipper's already trying her best to break
loose
siriusgeologist says, hehehe should be doing the FAQ thing, but too busy
writing fic
flying_ford_anglia says, It's really nothing yet... It opens in 15C
Paris though...
hert0661isme says, not for the time being - not good enough to do a
phd here and am slightly fed up with maths
babynick34 says, I'm confused... still don't know why we are famous /
infamous
siriusgeologist says, oooo sounds interesting...I love Paris!
fizzwhizbee says, We got on the CNN website
dai_evans says, I know that feeling. I just swapped from a masters to a
bachelors to escape an extra year
flying_ford_anglia says, Write what you know... duh!
siriusgeologist says, I'm not too rabid!
andreahbon says, R/H here, too!
Aberforths_Goat says, Let's see ... what could be happening in Paris?
fizzwhizbee says, and Salon magazine
babynick34 says, On CNN... oh...anyone have the URL?
fizzwhizbee says, for discovering the wand order Flint
hert0661isme says, I am doing the master - that is why I am here for
the fouth year
catlady_de_los_angeles says, salon.com and cnn reported (with quotes
from Penny, Neil, others, by name) on publishers secretly changed the
James/Lily Priori Incantatem order
hert0661isme says, the wonderful title of MMath!
dai_evans says, That extra year feels like it would be a very long time
for me at the moment.
bludger_witch says, They have to search for a powerful wand that is
hidden in a Baguette???
catlady_de_los_angeles says, My friend
selah_1977 says, I don't know why the R/Hers are mad, if they are. I
plastered my ship all over the d--n fic, and I've tried to keep everyone
in character.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, s's
fizzwhizbee says, LOL bludger
Aberforths_Goat says,

hermione_g_hp leaves
dai_evans says, I could have had an MEng, but I'm settling for BEng
catlady_de_los_angeles says, French/English dictionary
catlady_de_los_angeles says, says Baguette is Wand and Baton is Staff
siriusgeologist says, Husband is a mech engineer
hert0661isme says, of course I get an MA eventually!
selah_1977 says, save Draco... but Cassie's to blame for Draco's Fanfic
Redemption.

cassandraclaire73 says, oh i don't think it was just me...
dai_evans says, My sister did Maths at Camb and she only has to buy her
masters
cassandraclaire73 says, i thought i was being so original! but there
were Draco fics before me.
fizzwhizbee says, It was Morrigan who redeemed Draco, methinks
hert0661isme says, Same here (unless things change)
selah_1977 says, you had a lot to do with it! LOL! Yes, Morrigan's
really good as well.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Speaking as an old middle-aged person, I
can't decide wether university is better or worse than working for a
living
siriusgeologist says, yeah, but you have been the most read
bludger_witch says, I say Draco can change sides w/o getting nice and
redeemed - at least that's what I'm trying to do
catlady_de_los_angeles says, You get a lot more sleep and partying at
uni
dai_evans says, It seems a little bit cop-out to me. (no offence)
cassandraclaire73 says, redeeming Draco?
selah_1977 says, What's a cop-out?
fizzwhizbee says, Hmmm, get more sleep and partying redeeming Draco? I'm
for that!
dai_evans says, Let out. Easy give up. Taking the easy path. Getting
something for very little
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (I am currently writing Draco nice and
redeemed/redeemable WITHOUT changing sides)
cassandraclaire73 says, i think she means, what's a cop-out to d, not
the definition
hert0661isme says, It is annoying that you say that - Oxford has
always done this (and face the facts that we were around ages before
anyone else) and then everyone else turns up and does things differently
and we get accused of the cop out and forced to change
lupinesque enters
selah_1977 says, WB
catlady_de_los_angeles says, wb AMY
bludger_witch says, Hi Amy
Aberforths_Goat says, WElcome back Amy
dai_evans says, Oh ok <hides>; buying your masters instead of working
for it
fizzwhizbee says, Hi Amy
lupinesque says, Oh wow, I feel so welcome!
cassandraclaire73 says, *shrugs* A lot of people feel that way. I
maintain its impossible to write him and not redeem him to some extent.
He's totally cardboard in canon. if you want to get into his head, you
have to give him a bit of a personality.
agassizde is away (Auto-Away)
babynick34 says, Ok... so how come Neil and Penny got interviewed and
I didn't ?
dai_evans says, Times have changed though. These days a masters is
regarded more highly
agassizde is back.
babynick34 says, Not fair... not fair.
selah_1977 says, She's right!
flying_ford_anglia says, I wasn't interviewed - she used a quote Penny
sent her...
hert0661isme says, Well I am doing one anyway so it does not matter
to me!
agassizde says, Back just to say goodnight - it's late here and I'm
going to bed.
bludger_witch says, Oooh, poor Nick! Write and complain <g>
siriusgeologist says, someone on the l
siriusgeologist says, ist
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Bye bye Monika
dai_evans says, Yeah. I'm pissed off with my sister, not you
babynick34 says, Oh... Penny is to blame.
bludger_witch says, Bye Monika!
siriusgeologist says, bye monika...I will email you soon
fizzwhizbee says, Bye Monika
dai_evans says, bye
hert0661isme says, bye
cassandraclaire73 says, Well, no. Good Draco fics don't make him
nicsister? *lost*

agassizde is away (stepped out)
cassandraclaire73 says, oops
cassandraclaire73 says, typed two messages at ocne
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Blaise in WOLFSBANE POTION wrote from
Snape's POV without redeeming him
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (that was another fanfic recommendation)
agassizde leaves
cassandraclaire73 says, Snape is already partially redeemed in canon.
babynick34 says, I did a very bad thing at Christmas... I tidyied my
flat. Now I've lost Fiddy's email address :-(
dai_evans says, Cass, earlier in the descussion me and simon were having
flying_ford_anglia says, Doh!
cassandraclaire73 says, ignore me
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (altho' I DID NOT ENJOY reading it)
cassandraclaire73 says, did not enjoy reading what?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, WOLFSBANE POTION
bludger_witch says, Hu? Why do you recommend it then?
Aberforths_Goat says, Should have given it to the rest of us, Nick!
tygrestick enters
cassandraclaire73 says, hey lizzy
hert0661isme says, we often do cass!
flying_ford_anglia says, Did everyone add faffic recs to the Database?
lupinesque says, wolfsbane potion really gave me a new insight into SS
though, while being faithful to JKR's version--made me realize how good
a character he is (good as in well-drawn, not good as in not evil)
flying_ford_anglia says, fanfic...
selah_1977 says, You know what? The fanfics I like best are ones that
are a creative departure from canon. If I want canon, I read the expert
on it--JKR.
cassandraclaire73 says, simon, it would behoove you to be nice to me.
tygrestick says, hi!
fizzwhizbee says, Not yet add fanfic to database
babynick34 says, Yeh... I know... but Jo doesn't want it given out to
the world.
selah_1977 says, LOL!
Aberforths_Goat says, hi!
cassandraclaire73 says, TOTALLY in agreement with Ebony there.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, A debate question: the literary value of
successfully writing from the point of view of an unpleasant person
hert0661isme says, well you asked to be in my fic - and I still have
to decide what I do with you!
andreahbon says, Is Simon there?
babynick34 says, I won't have binned it... it has to be somewhere.
I wonder if Jo knows about the CNN article?
hert0661isme says, I am here
Aberforths_Goat says, Tut tutt. We're not the world. There are only
660 of in hp4gu ... <g>
bludger_witch says, In leather-trousers <g>
cassandraclaire73 says, yeah but I made you famous. *evil laughter*
catlady_de_los_angeles says, even tho' that POV is an unpleasant place
in which to spend one's time
hert0661isme says, NO!
babynick34 says, That's 160 more than CNN reported!
cassandraclaire73 says, I dislike MWPP fics. *hides* I just really do.
Aberforths_Goat says, STOP WHAT IN THE NAME OF A NAME IS mwpp?
fizzwhizbee says, Oh well, you won't like my Tempest one, then
flying_ford_anglia says, We have about 100 new members because...
cassandraclaire73 says, MOONY WORMTAIL PADFOOT PRONGS
cassandraclaire73 says, anything about the Marauders
bludger_witch says, Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, prongs MWPP
flying_ford_anglia says, ...of the Salon article.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, A tremendous amount of highly praised
liteary writing and movies
andreahbon says, Hi, Simon. This is Andrea, the one who made you a
breast-enhancing mediwizard. I' d like to apologize for using your name
without asking...
Aberforths_Goat says, good grief--100 new members after one article?
hert0661isme says, Dont worry - I found it amusing
catlady_de_los_angeles says, is very successfully at its goal of
making the reader feel just awful
cassandraclaire73 says, examples, Rita?
lupinesque says, catlady: I like any new POV on a scene I've read.
Pleasant characters fine (but SS is a good candidate 'cause he's so
interesting)
selah_1977 says, LOL! Andrea's fic is wonderful!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and Michail Silverblatt revels in it, and
so does my friend Lee
babynick34 says, Maybe it's time we had our own Website as well as
email list. Hmm... what did happen to those FAQ's?
flying_ford_anglia says, Yep...frightening shades of Yahoo!'s
spotlight feature
fizzwhizbee says, You aren't supposed to feel awful, you are supposed to
feel relieved...catharsis
andreahbon says, All right, then, Simon, I promise I won't do this
again!
flying_ford_anglia says, That's all in hand Nick..
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (examples ... I must try to remember some
of the movies Lee has invited me to accompany her to, and I firmly
refused.....
flying_ford_anglia says, Talking of which...no more Minerva posts
please!
babynick34 says, Glad to hear Neil. If we need hosting space... I
can grab 100MB on a commercial server if needed.
flying_ford_anglia says, I'll never finish the blessed thing.
fizzwhizbee says, Catlady, that reminds me, I didn't ask Simon about my
fragment...
Aberforths_Goat says, Say, who's doing the religion faq? I may be
doing a seminar this week and I may also write an article for an
e-zine--so I'd like to check up
lupinesque says, Oh man, I just got back on, but I have to go. Some of
us work on Sundays (Martin Luther King Day service coming up this eve.)
Happy MLK all, see you on egroups!
hert0661isme says, FAQ's are happening!
flying_ford_anglia says, I think Ebony is doing Religion?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I asked Simon about the follow-up I'm
writing to your fragment, and he thinks we're funny
lupinesque says, Wait a minute, I can't go 'til I know why no more
McGonagall posts!
Aberforths_Goat says, Huh--what's your line of work Amy?
babynick34 says, I worked today as well - I've worked sundays now for
over 5 years!
selah_1977 says, no, Penny said she's doing Religion...
flying_ford_anglia says, Ok
fizzwhizbee says, Whew, Catlady!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, by by Amy
hert0661isme says, yes pippen?
selah_1977 says, I thought I was doing religion and still may... as
Penny may not feel up to it very soon.
lupinesque says, Same as yours, AG--I'm a minister--earlier I
recommended we start HPforMins but you'd logged off
babynick34 says, What about McGonagall?
flying_ford_anglia says, Nick, Heidi has a website
domain...thethreebroomsticks.com
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I gather Neil is writing the FAQ on
McGonagall, and can't finish as long as new questions and anxers are
being added
fizzwhizbee says, Yes, Pippin, what?
Aberforths_Goat says, HPforMins? Hmm.
babynick34 says, Cool - have we trademarked it?
Aberforths_Goat says, Self-help??
hert0661isme says, I am having that prob with the Weasley's!
flying_ford_anglia says, Exactly. Same goes for Ron...
hert0661isme says, what did you want to ask me about?
flying_ford_anglia says, ...but people aren't likely to shut up about
him.
Aberforths_Goat says, How to break the habit?
selah_1977 says, Oh, Zsenya's new site has lots of information about
Ron! Here's a link:
lupinesque says, Nope, sermon ideas!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dr Branford's role in (our? my?) fic
flying_ford_anglia says, You'd have to ask Heidi,...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, the s/d one
fizzwhizbee says, The fic fragment I sent to Rita with a reference to
your Dr. Simon character in it
selah_1977 says, http://www.sugarquill.com
Aberforths_Goat says, Now that's an idea, Amy!
flying_ford_anglia says, but she is a lawyer in that arena <g>
lupinesque says, ...I have thus far refrained from giving an HP sermon
hert0661isme says, I said yes and answered the questions raised!
lupinesque says, ...but I did mention it in a sermon on the importance
of stories
Aberforths_Goat says, Same here. After all, I do kinda like my job
and all ...
lupinesque says, a parishioner is the person who got me hooked
fizzwhizbee says, Oh,good, thank you simon
hert0661isme says, That is one of the seven fics on my 'I have
aproved use of my name but the fic has yet to be done list'
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Unfortunately, Simon isn't the pompous,
self-important physician type
flying_ford_anglia says, I won't look at Zsenya's site then <g>
lupinesque says, I just don't want them to think I'm obsessed. Of
course, I am, but you won't tell, will you dear people?
Aberforths_Goat says, I've been doing it the other way
around--converted quite a few, actually.
hert0661isme says, rather than one of the nine with me mentioned!
siriusgeologist says, ebony...did you ge my new IM?
cassandraclaire73 says, Simon, you are famous.
lupinesque says, Okay, really trluly signing off now. Ta ta all.
hert0661isme says, bye
fizzwhizbee says, Rita, were you sending me more? I got an email
mentioning two versions, but didn't have either
catlady_de_los_angeles says, The problem is, I have to post/write the
episode with the romance before i can post the episode with the Doctor
Aberforths_Goat says, ttfn
hert0661isme says, Rita - I am unsure why but I also got that main
twice (the test one for the chat group)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I wa
