I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

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."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Hermione's family bugs me.

We never hear about them. She sees them about two weeks a year and no one seems to care if she spends all her non-school time with the Weasleys. I'd love to have a chapter on what it was like for her in the Muggle world.

Art Crawl!!!

I think Harry should spend part of his summer with her -- because it is odd.

They're proud of her, but they don't want to see her.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I agree. They should spend some time at the Granger's. Arthur will be very very jealous.

I want to know more about the Potters. Maybe I missed it, but was James an orphan? Where are the Potters?

The Potters were older when they had James who was an only child. I guess they didn't have living siblings either -- or none with offspring.

Is that in Sourcer's Stone?

I know it was mentioned in HBP, but it might be in SS as well.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I remember reading it in an interview.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

JKR said in her recent interview that she just cavalierly killed off Harry's grandparents, 'cause they were extraneous to the story. (She wanted her protagonist to be all alone in the world, with only the 'orrible Dursleys looking after him.)

She aspires to be Tim, I think.
