People are creating new LJ names the same way. I would not want to be a moderator of anything HP-related right now.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Why do people have to be like that??? Oh, right, because humans suck a lot of the time. also, blow.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
That, to me, is a theme of the books. It's so painfully true. Not the way it should be, but the way the world is.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I wonder if Rowling ever sits in her castle and goes, "Yes, I *do* know how to write, thank you very much!"
I hope she does! I admire her mad plotting skillz. Except in OOTP, which has no plot.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Did you get my reccie for Midnight Confessions, Aimee? I like that one a lot for the strong Weasley family (both immediate and extended) that it had, as well as the neat idea of family magic
That's the one I've been working through all day. Off and On. I LOVE the wards.

I've got to reread that one--that's probably one of my favorite HP stories.
My favorite short HP fic is probably Desk Duty by Mosylu, set during OotP. Perfect for all librarians and book fans, HP fans or not!

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
My two favorite HP fics are both by sam_storyteller over on LJ.
One (Remus/Tonks) is Amid My Solitude, which was written post OoTP, and managed to guess at Remus/Tonks before it became canon. Lovely, lovely stuff.
The other (also Remus/Tonks) is Cartographer's Craft. This one also has a pairing that might make one go bwuh? at first, but that ultimately works, and works well.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
There is only one "Harry Potter" fanfic I can take, and it's Harry Potter and the Eagle of Truthiness.
