Percy breaks my heart. He really does. He's like BtVS Wesley - it's almost painful to watch him, he's so pompous and gauche. God. It's like Sir Andrew Aguecheek - that "I was adored once too" has the power, if done right, to reduce me to floods of tears. Percy isn't a git, but he's a pillock, and prissy, and excruciatingly insecure.
I bleed for him. Really, it's just so pitiful - he's got such a lot to prove, coming after Bill and Charlie, and with the twins, with their incomprehensible popularity and effortless social skills following behind - and he disapproves of them, and never quite gets why they're so well liked. And even his baby brother has the whole best-friend-of-Harry-Potter thing going on.

so very badly. God. He's like this black hole of neediness, and he's so easy to ridicule. It kills me.
t /totally going over the top about speculative variations on nonexistant characters.
Well, he is cool when smacking down Draco.

Percy/Oliver. Don't flinch-- read it-- this woman could sell me on anything.
And has.
Oh, no danger of flinching - this is lovely and it's not one I've read before, but she's already sold me on Percy/Oliver as a concept. Yes. Very nice indeed.
(Oh, shit, I just realized the email I wrote asking you whether that design was okay and whether it was okay to use that tagline, I didn't send yet. Neither did I ask Ellen whether I could rip off her line, at all. I'm doing things in a completely backwards order.
Oh, well.)
There's really a minion page!

Liz, two things.
First off, the site isn't showing up in Opera. Second, you have really big honking borders around your images. I sort of followed the conversation in Tech; the border="0" tag you took out of your image src? You gotta put back in, otherwise it looks clunky. Sometimes it won't show up on a mac.

Oh. Do you have images turned off? Because the front page is all images....

Ah. Shit. Thought I'd done that.
