I was thrilled by the events in the epilogue, and I was thrilled to see who he's apparently casting as the "Prisoner of Azkaban." Nice twist, that.
Mal: You tell me right now, little Kaylee, you really think you can do this? Kaylee: Sure. Yeah. I think so. 'Sides, if I mess up, not like you'll be able to yell at me.

I wasn't completely thrilled by the "Cartographer" story, but Laocoon's Children is really neat. What happened to Nearly Headless Nick was fun.

Hey. New board.
I loved the writing on Cartographer's, but it seemed a little gimmicky for my taste, at times. Stealing Harry and Laocoon One, however, stand with AJ Hall's stuff at the height of my HP Fic enjoyment thus far, so to say that I'm excited for LC II is rather an understatement.

I'll have to get back to reading Laocoon's Children--I enjoyed Stealing Harry, but got bogged down in Cartographer's and gave up on the whole site.
I'm getting caught up on Fernwithy's fics now. Shifts was an excellent parallel look at OotP (what exactly were Lupin and Tonks doing during Harry's 5th year? One word: Smeltings!), and she's doing the same with Shades paralleling HBP.

Grr. I hate when I get pointless reviews on stories. It wasn't criticism - it was just pointing out a bit of canon that had nothing to do with the story, and that was addressed in a half-joking author's note.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Sigh...so I've been spoiled a bit for an upcoming SGA ep by, of all things, a blurb on a recs page. (The story that was blurbed has no spoilers for as-yet-unaired eps, but apparently has a similar storyline to one)
People, don't assume everyone has seen all the eps you've seen.

I hate when that happens, Sheryl. It's a common problem in the anime fandoms, since some fans rely upon the official U.S. translations, while others get the fan-translated stuff from the web. It's like the whole NAFDA thing, but in reverse.
I have a feeling that the same thing will happen when Dr. Who is released on SciFi. People will start watching, and then go to fan sites and get inadvertently spoiled by people who DL'd the eps as they were aired in the UK.

Hey. New board.
Gah! Why oh why does 97% of Luna-based femslash suck so badly? (This is hypothetical. I know the reason - the same reason Drusilla and River so often come out horrible in fic). She can be such a great character when written well, especially (IMHO) paired with Ginny, but finding the good stuff is so hard.
Plus, none of the good HP novelists write femslash, I think. Sigh. These are my first world complaints.
Feel like writing a new fic-novel Fay? Eh?

is she, you know, a nutter? (not Fay.)
