Robin, I saw your post about the Shetterley-Bull tour - I like both of them, her especially. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be coming east. sigh.
Todd, I asked Will in his LJ about an eastern swing to the tour and his answer was:
"Alas, not this year. I think in fairness, if we do another tour, it'll have to be the east coast equivalent of this one. Which would be heaps o' fun.
I like Will and Emma a lot, more so for having met them in person a couple of times over the years. May their new books thrive!
(not much hope of this post not being drowned in Harry Potter chat, not that there's anything wrong with that)
Nope, no Easterly stuff this time. They are going to be hitting several spots in Canada, for northerly-dwelling Buffistas to enjoy.
I LIKE teen romance, and a lot of HBP seemed like bad fanfic to me!
I'm reading the summaries on SparkNotes, and I'm surprised that the bad fanfic isn't as prevalent as I remember. It's a small part of the book, but it's a very
strong
part because it's so in-your-face and unsubtle. There's all this other good stuff there that I totally forgot about. For instance, until I started catching up, I did not even remember that Professor Slughorn existed.
Well, yeah, but Rowling tends to write from the world of the characters, and teenagers exeprience romance with a lot of obsession and angst and drama, so it felt true to me.
And for all that so many grown-ups enjoy Harry, the books are aimed at a younger demographic, and "Who do they end up! Do they live happily ever after?" is a huge point.

Me too.
Also, I know ya'll are being careful but, please, watch the talk about spoilers in here! Sometimes what is not whited out is Too Much Information. thanks!

As far as I can tell, you'd have to be damned unlucky to get spoiled in here, because as far as I can tell people are talking out of their behinds.
Or are they?
Or are they?
I may have a very knowledgeable behind. Nobody knows what my behind has seen.
Thank god.
My behind does know the ending of HP VII. Unfortunately, it's mad at me -- because I've been sitting on it all these years -- and it won't tell me a thing. Stupid ass.
Mine would totally spoil you for HP7, but it was eaten by the First Evil.
Sox (and meara and Sparky and other DCistas), I was actually thinking about hosting a book swap. My goal is to get rid of a lot of weight and space, but it could be worthwhile. Alas, I suspect it won't happen until after Sox moves...
Anyway, I'll take it to the list.
