Oh, Sirius! *squishes him* Now I want a t-shirt that says 'Minerva McGonagall is my hero'. :)

:) He always appreciates the squishes.

I think Sirius should be forced to wear one! But yes. I really think I want one too! *grinning*

Lily wanted to give Sirius a hug but felt it might not be appreciated by the moment. So her puppet-mistress (who certainly wasn't complaining) filled in instead. :)

CQ, a stylish merchandising line coming to a store near you... featuring t-shirts with the phrases as 'Minerva McGonagall is my hero', 'adorkable', cabbage t-shirts with the words, 'Reg, FOCUS' and of course, a line devoted to all the Ted-isms.

I think it could be popular, don't you? ;)

Oh- I wanted to ask you something. I emailed Katie about it (haven't heard back yet) but if it is a go ahead, I was wondering if you would be interested in helping me archive some of the more memorable comment threads? I know we already have one for some of the relationships but I thought it might be nice to have one for just some of the general gen threads that have great character interactions (like the Sirius and Minerva one in Harry's fourth year).

Threadcrashing! I love the t-shirt line!!! I smell Cafe Press! *cackles*

And ironically we are working on the 2nd of those 4th year Sirius/Minerva threads again tonight. *cackles*

Seriously, there are a number of 'quillers going to Lumos, right? It would be cool if there was an official shirt. *g* Maybe we should think of starting something!

Really? *bounces with excitement* You should point me in the direction when it starts going. :D

Yes there are. Are YOU coming???? *squirms* We had talked about doing character shirts for one day... "Quills!Lily" or "Quills!Minerva" with some pretty quill art, I think.

I wish! But I'm a poor university student and if I told my parents I was using my summer money to go to a Harry Potter conference in Las Vegas, I'm not sure how well they'd take it. ;) But I'd get a shirt anyway. I like that idea, with the characters. I wonder how expensive that would be? Hmmm...

Oh, dear. Such a trial! ;) While Sirius might not have accepted one from Lily at present, he is more than happy to accept them from random puppet mistresses. Oh yes!

*giggling like crazy*
I think you have something there. It could be the latest craze! I would certainly be all for the Ted-sims line.

Ooo. That could be very cool. I have been trying to compile interesting threads just for Sirius' journal but things do tend to get lost in the gigantic pile of stuff that is CQ. Let me know what the verdict is and if it is a go then I would be more than happy to help out however I can! :)

I have to tell you that I am so incredibly tickled that that particular thread got so much response. It evolved out of a crazy 3am half-drunken (I think) squee-fest at TWH in pre_raphalite1's hotel room. We just were flailing and wibbling at each other something awful! :D

Oh yes, a trial, but I'm willing to make sacrifices. *g*

We might just have to see whether we could start something like that on cafe press. :)

Yeah, I do the same for Lily but I know there's a lot of interesting interactions I miss between other characters, so it would be great to have one place to locate it all. Thanks! :)

Well, it was so well written! And it's not a subject that has been brought up in fanfiction that I've seen so it was neat to see that scenario played out. :)

It's strange, Sirius and Lily have a lot of interaction here but I don't think that Justin and Penny have ever interacted. I was writing a random match of characters fic for the genfic community omniocular and those were my two characters. I realised that they both had been petrified by the basilisk, in Harry's second year. Huh, I never realise they had this connection. It was interesting to find that out. :)

Your comment about Justin and Penny here actually gave me one of the pokes I needed to write Penny's latest letter. I'd forgotten that she was petrified as well and I find it so interesting that two characters who may otherwise never have interacted now have some very fascinating things in common! So cool!

*wishes she was at her home computer so she could whip up an icon that has the t-shirt* Watch this space. ;)
