Now I'm having flashbacks to the My Pretty Pony fic I read.

The site I found had strict rules to the type of fiction that was acceptable...obviously anything of an adult nature was not acceptable.

I wonder if there is Strawberry Shortcake fic out there? or Rainbow Brite.

Or Strawberry Shortcake Rainbow Brite crossover fic.

I would never say such a thing, ever. But I might point out that you won't find a certain HP writer's stuff on FF.net.

To be less snarky, I sort of participated in a long multi-blog discussion on this about a year ago, when Jintian started talking about it. There *is* a line between plagiarism and infringement, but it's amazing how many people seem to think that fanfic=plagiarism and therefore any plagiarism within fanfic is okay. You know, the "it's just fanfic, what's your problem?" school of argument.

I'm sorry, did someone say there was plagiarism in Harry Potter fic?

Around the same time it was mentioned that Lana's parents were dead, I think.

Though I haven't seen it on Fandom Wank today. Perhaps the kerfluffle's passe.

For those interested, Em Brunson has started a Yahoo Group for fic writers looking to make the transition to original fiction.

Pictures, Plei! We must have the silly pictures!

Ah. No. Not silly. Silly would not have been one of the array of adjectives I might have used. No. Keep in mind that there I was with absolutely no wish to be slashed or write slasher slash, and then I saw the Ple pic and thought "Hmm, actually, maybe that's not such a bad idea. Hmm."

From "Lust over Pendle" which I am leisurely making my way through:

"There!" Draco’s tone betrayed that he felt rather pleased with himself. "You know what they say: if you want a decent ring, get a Dark wizard to design it for you."

Ah, Theo, sinking slowly into the pool of loveliness that is LoP.

To those who have read LoP, what is the significance of Moose in regards to the name David Molloy, and who did kill the chauffeur?

shiny shiny PMM.

THAT's the pic that drove me to write the RPS. Which I've just now written. Go team me.

Incidentally, I asked AJ Hall about the hair thing. She said:

The hair has got nothing to do with polyjuice (oh, and btw, Betsey is going to be sent to Spain to gather Julian's locks, also. He does not escape unscathed). It has a lot to do with clay/wax models (old fashioned withcraft) in which you incorporate a little of your enemy into a model of them, and crumble or melt it away slowly, watching him waste while you do so. It is intended that at some time after the end of LOP Draco (having consulted his mother in the interim) approaches Emily and says: "I've got hairs from all the bastards who tortured Neville. Now, ma tells me you were good at invisible scorpions once. And that sounds good. But I'm Lucius's son too. And I've been having some thoughts. Should we pool our - resources?"
