(no subject)
School starts in ten days and I have finally, finally, finished all my school-mandated summer reading. Though, I would have finished sooner if hadn't lost one of the books. Hee.
Now all that remains to be done is my essay for Honors Eng.,("In a well-written essay, identify and explain the "spiritual reassessment or moral reconciliation which Scout Finch, Antonio Marez, and Guy Montag experience by each novel's end."), and my speech for aca-deca which I'll probably just base off something I've already written and have lying around.
Considering all this, there probably won't be a lot of fic being put up. But we'll see. There are things half written and plot bunnies plotted out, so if I'm diligent I might post some stuff before I am once again forced into the hallowed halls of learning. Sophomore year-I am a clever fool! Wish me luck. :P
Things to Do:
1-article
2-essay
3-speech
4-McG fic
5-R/S Marauders fic
6-JPLE fic
And for your amusement (as it amused me greatly), apparently there is a book out there called "Mapping the World of Harry Potter" wherein several paid-professionals wrote essays about our beloved boy wizard and his world. Here's an excerpt from a review on the book (Via Amazon.com):
“Of course, not all the essays have such serious subject matter. The most enjoyable essay is one that is certainly not intended for children: Joyce Millman's "To Sir, With Love." It's a hilarious and slightly disturbing essay about the proliferation of Snape fan-fiction on the Internet, in which Snape gets up to various S&M activities with several other Harry Potter regulars. The other humorous essays are more innocent, including Mercedes Lackey's description of her own "Harry Potter" drinking game and why Harry is going to need some serious therapy if he survives."
This is clearly the stuff of brilliance. Has anyone actually read it?
But seriously, if they’re writing essays about fan fiction, then someone needs to address slash. Or maybe the fan community in general. But mostly just slash. Of the Remus/Sirius variety.
Yeaaah.
