On that note, just reread Chamber, and it is MUCH more interesting after having read Half-Blood Prince. They are very entertwined pieces; you can see how JKR was considering putting some of the HBP stuff in Chamber.
Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

So, have y'all been reading Mina de Malfois? Because man, she's just priceless. It's as if someone took Dorothy Sayers, mixed her with PG Wodehouse, and set her loose on online fandom. Absolutely fantastic commentary on fandom and BNF-ness.
(And Arc is totally Jeeves.)

Okay, this faux rant on badfic cliches had me laughing until my stomach hurt.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Also, from the same thing as 'Suela--someone wrote mina de malfois fanfiction, crossing over with the charlotte lennox journalfen account. Just. This is brilliantly entertaining, guys.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Every time I think I'm bored and have run out of stuff to read on the internets, another chapter of the msscribe saga hits.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Dude! Where? Same place as before?

What is even happening?
Did anyone here ever read the Victoria Bitters saga from the LotR fandom? It's a few years old, but I just came across it, yesterday. It held me in its thrall most of the afternoon? It makes the MsScribe thing look like a Buffista kerfuffle.

That was the wank to beat before msscribe came along. Now they're spoken of in the same awed tones.
