Who needs sleep, anyway.

So very behind in:

1. Replying to comments. (You guys are wonderfully articulate and I crave the dialogue, so, dammit, I still want to get to 'em.)

2. Setting up GreatestJournal, InsaneJournal, and JournalFen to be something beyond placeholders.

3. Making new icons. So many DH jokes to be played with!

4. Writing post-DH fic. Isn't that the most heinous of all? Plotbunnies should always be fed. Hey, how about this for a standard disclaimer in the future? "All characters in this story are fictional and thus have no age."

I still have DH meta to spring on you, though. Bits and pieces seems to be as good a method as any, so, here's one: Remember the film of Philospher's/Sorcerer's Stone? Do you think that Columbus and Kloves were told by Rowling, "Listen, you have to make sure Harry really does catch the Snitch in his mouth; it's important later"--or did they just get lucky in choosing to include that in the film?

I think she told them. I head that the symbol that Grindy used was in a glass cabinet in Dumbledore's office in the GoF movie. I haven't checked for that yet.

"All characters in this story are fictional and thus have no age."

That should be fandom's new motto.

2. Setting up GreatestJournal, InsaneJournal, and JournalFen to be something beyond placeholders.

I have to do that too. Or at least change them from the hideous default layout.

Jokes are always good, funny icons bloody brilliant!

"All characters in this story are fictional and thus have no age."

Ha, that'd be awesome if you started use it.

"Listen, you have to make sure Harry really does catch the Snitch in his mouth; it's important later"

I don't know about this; if she were keeping an eye out on the movies, wouldn't she have insisted that Lily be in the "Snape's Worst Memory" scene on OotP? Her being left out is going to be a bit of a poser to work around when they film DH, won't it?

Hee! I love that. Like, a lot. :D

That's...actually a very good question, in regards to the snitch.

Also, the disclaimer is perfect, and I vote that everyone uses it in the future.

That's the best disclaimer I can possibly imagine. A lot the chatter I've heard from non-HP-fen about determining age in art has been so silly. I think a disclaimer like that would clear it up nicely.

(I've just friended you, something I should have done a long time ago. You've been my very favorite writer in the fandom for a couple of years now, but I'm a bit shy about saying things like that. :))

[identity profile] satanbaker.livejournal.com 2007-08-10 05:46 am (UTC)(link)
I thoroughly approve of that disclaimer! :D

By the way, I'm sort of anticipating some Grindelwald/Dumbledore fic out of you. >>; Maybe a Grindelwald/Dumbledorebrothers angsty threesome!

Mmmm.

Or I can just go in a corner and imagine it myself. x)

I transferred my LJ posts to my other three journals today, and LJ Sec is my new best friend! It was ridiculously simple. Of course, the comments didn't transfer (*sigh*), and I have to go to each journal separately and fix links for long fics so they link from part one to part two in their new locations, but luckily I don't have many of those! :-P

I love the new disclaimer!

Just friended you here as well :) I figured, it was a bit ridiculous to have friended you everywhere else but not here.

LOL, you're my hero!

Y'know, back during all the Australian chan stuff, I suggested a standard into to every fic along the lines of "Just as ___ was doing ___, a crazy spell set in motion years ago caused everyone in the WW to fall asleep/freeze in place for __ years, thus making them all over age __.". It could be said much better, I'm sure, but it really would work, I think :)

Hee, I love your disclaimer! I might have to steal it, replacing "story" with "artwork". :P

Whatever you're writing, I can't wait to read it! And the meta. And see your new icons as well.

[identity profile] christwise.livejournal.com 2007-08-10 02:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Well if you're making icons....

I just realized that I would love a St. George (since he's holey now) icon. Just sayin'. ;)

I can't believe it took me this long to notice that reference. And I am naively trying to ignore the new strikethroughs in the vain hope that they just go away. Blahh.

I want DH fic! ;_;

Where are you going on Greatest Journal? Are you going to crosspost or what?

[identity profile] estas-absentis.livejournal.com 2007-08-14 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
If anyone can write good prefect!Lucius fic (which I have been CRAVING since DH and haven't found yet) you can.
Please tell me that's on your agenda?
