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."

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.

move out and draw fire
It's funny though -huh? It's literally a canonical split.
Well, people have been re-writing other canons when they didn't like them since ever (Christ: divine or human?), so why not Harry Potter?

So we're witness to Potterism's Gnostic Heresy Period?

The link does not work for me. Damn. I was in the mood for PGHP fanfic.

I read HBP over the weekend so I can now return to this thread. Have people been making any speculations about HP7 and where the story is going to end up? Elena and I and her DH spent a while last night talking about our respective theories, which were strangely similar.

Yes, scroll back starting with the book's release date of July 16, 2005, and you'll see a lot of whitefont discussing the story and the possible outcome in Book VII.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Well, I think there's only so much leeway in the story at this point, since it's really unlikely that it'll work out as Voldemort Wins and Harry DIES! Mwahahahaha.
I think she's also laid out the events well enough, and set enough foreshadowing precedent, that there are things that simply need to be paid off (and usually in a farily limited number of optional ways)
But, then, most of this book was fairly predictable, but still well worth the reading.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Going back a bit in the conversation (since I just caught up), we read Pygmalian in eleventh grade English. There's a bit in there where someone says that Eliza has to stop using "That word ... the one that starts with a B" (or something to that effect). We were all totally confused, since the only "bad" b-words we could think of were "bitch" and "bastard," and neither made sense there. When our teacher finally told us that the word in question was "bloody," there was a collective, "Huh?" from the entire class.
