Thank you!

The funny thing is, HP isn't really MY cup of tea either. Inasmuchas, I've read a handful of fics on a rec basis and enjoyed them, but I've never gone trawling and I don't know the fandom well. This despite having written the longest piece of fiction ever in my life within the fandom. Bonkers, I know. I wrote this because McTabby linked to a fracas over plagiarism, and I wondered how extreme it might be and went and read the story. Twice, as it happens, because it was a cut'n'paste'n'slaponanewname job. But it was so thoroughly GHASTLY a story that I found myself wanting to write something in which the characters were actually bordering on plausible developments of their present canon characterisations, rather than generic people-with-tits.

Wow, I'm a megabitch from hell! With an ego the size of Guatemala!

Oh dear. Now I have to friend you cuz that story was far too excellent.
Actually, friending you anyway. Cuz, you know, you're Fay. Therefore, entertaining.
Am I the only one that doesn't think Ron deserves Hermione anyway? She should hook up with some Ravenclaw we don't know...

Isn't the new character in the Pheonix, Looney, a Ravenclaw? If we are going to continue the theme, that is.
BTW, do we know if the reason why Hermione isn't a Ravenclaw a plot point or not?
I think J.K. just wanted Harry to have a really smart friend, so she casually ignored her own sorting hat system. I think it was mentioned once that Hermione could certainly fit in in Ravenclaw, but had plenty of bravery, so the sorting hat sort of let her choose. Like Harry had Slytherin/Gryffindor, and basically got to choose.
Fay, you are a wicked, wicked woman who will lead me into temptation yet. Loved the fic, very sweet and entirely believably inevitable.
Thursday100 is having the worst drabble challenge evah this week. A story that is one hundred word sentence, grammatical and exact.
Why? And I think it can't be done, either. And ew.
Signed, short, choppy sentences' bitch.
(resignedly dusting semicolon.)
Well, Erika, you do raise a good point about the intense difficulty of constructing sentences of such an absurdedly high word count, especially if the labyrinthine sentence is required to tell a compelling story; however, I do believe (nay, I KNOW) that it is possible, perhaps not even especially difficult, to construct such a montrosity of a sentence so long as the writer is not especially interested in maintaining the interest of his or her glorious readers for an extended period, and is capable of using hundreds of scintillatingly lusciously luxurious adjectives and equally attractive adverbs with every conceivable noun.
Hee hee hee.
Somebody who can type, COMM that!
I win!
