The magic of that moment is how well it was led up to. Over multiple eps, IIRC.
eta: The extra magic. It's very pretty even out of context.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now I'm reminded of "Doctor Who and the Curse of Fatal Death," done for Comic Relief, in which the Doctor (Rowan Atkinson) is scheduled to marry his companion (Julia Sawalha), but after burning through a bunch of his lives in the space of a few minutes (Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, and Richard E. Grant), he then becomes a she (Joanna Lumley) who still wants to marry the companion. Very fun stuff!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Over on LJ, sam_storyteller is posting a fabulous post-HP6 fic (Title: Cartographer's Craft). It's a WIP, but it's being updated every few days or so.
There's a plot element in it that would scream "fixit" to most people, but it ends up being a wonderful plot complication rather than a way to make things better.

Help me out. I need some words here.
Hey, if it works, I can crank out a "Waah, I'm too poor to write for you people who don't contribute to my lifestyle" letter too.

Dunno. I picked it up from a few bemused posts on LJ.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Wow. So much for fanfiction being 'not for profit', eh?

I don't know why I'm taken aback. It's not like I haven't seen this before. It's just...some people out there manage to struggle through just fine without blackmailing their readers, I guess. I know there are people out there who are incredible writers, and whose financial situations are less than optimal, and they do what they have to do without resorting to cheap tactics like this.

I've been offered cookies, and occassionally receive nummy pictures. Obviously I have to rethink my bribe scale.
