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."

You'd be amazed what that soft, plushy crown looks like in the right light.

Hermione's family bugs me.

I'm reading a great WIP fanfic that has Daddy Dr. Granger a former SAS member (who still has his beloved combat knife handy at all times) who went to dental school after leaving the military. When DEs come after him and his family, he takes them out the old-fashioned way--with a blade through the throat to cut off the Avada Kedavra curse. Check out Great Scott, Potter, This Is War!" for a fun read (it's a sixth year fic, pre-HBP).

Holy cow.

Some upset Potter fans have, well, decided they didn't like the way Harry ended up with Ginny, so they rewrote chunks of the novel and posted the entire thing on their website. F_W has a writeup here: [link]

Oy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Well. We did that with Spiral, I guess.

It's funny though -huh? It's literally a canonical split.

I suspect we weren't nearly as offensive as this, though.

ETA: nor as badly written. OMG the badfic, it burns.

If I only had a brain...

Nope. We didn't post any unaltered sections.

What is even happening?

I could never make out what was what in our (before my time) Spiral rewrite.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What do you mean? That the rewrite was unclear?

No. I couldn't figure out whether the blue font was all re-write, or not. Some of it seemed to be in the original.
