How much do I hate mac.mail? Let me count the ways. I pay a not insubstatial number of Earth pounds for this shit service that won't let me in half the time and won't ever let me reset the settings beyond about three basic default ones. Conclusion: don't buy into mac.mail again ( Read more... )

Me too. I still haven't forgiven her for OotP.

Maybe it's easier to feel contemptous of your old fandom, as some people seem to do

I just feel kind of soured on HP, after the last book. I guess the bitterness ran deep. I'm very nostalgic for the HP fandom before that, though, and I miss it. And I still love Remus/Sirius with all my heart. I can't even get rid of the icons, even if I haven't written them in ages! They're my first true OTP.

But, awww, I'd love to read your unposted stuff! Especially...that one prompt. Wow, have I completely forgotten about it.

As for your prediction? I kind of really hope that's how the book ends. Without any Tonks mention, because what happened there was just atrocious. Even now, whenever I talk about it, I get all wound up. It's probably unhealthy, in fact!

The thing is, even though OotP killed the passion for me, I'm looking forward to the last book. I can't quite shake off my residual love. But I just feel -- what a missed opportunity by JKR. She's cool, but not cool enough to write R/S. Hmm. If Remus hooks up with Tonks, a last revenge!fic might be fun.

Somehow I expect I'll end up liking this version better than whatever JKR ends up spewing out.

Actually, I'm excited in spite of myself. Old habits die hard, I guess. *g*

Yeah, me too. We're suckers, obviously.

I cannot not be exited about the final book. I just can’t help it.
I’m rereading the books and reading HP fanfiction again and it’ being ages. I love Remus/Sirius and I still cry for Padfoot, every time. It’s a bit embarrassing actually. :-)
Tonks… please, please, stay away from Remus. Many things happened in the books that I didn’t like but this is what I really can’t stand. Just can’t.
I always loved your stories and if you decide to post more I’d be very happy! :-)
*kisses*

Me too. Even after all this time, I just hate what she did to Sirius. And I'm sort-of dreading what will happen with Remus and Tonks in DH. I really, really hope JKR won't give him a nice wedding as a consolation prize for his awful life. Yuk.

And thank you for saying nice things!
*hugs*

:D

Are ya gonna post those unposted stories? C'mon, c'mon, don't be a tease. Even if they're not finished, I'll read 'em.
Are all your other HP stories at Azkaban's Lair? It's been years since I read any HP, I might've missed one. ~_^

Oh, that's nice of you. But I'm not teasing! Most of them are half-stories or three-quarter stories at best. Maybe if I achieve my goal of a private income I can commit the time to tidying them up. (There are quite a lot of them.)

I think there's only one story at AL. The others are in this lj somewhere or were submitted for various fic fests. I think I sent one to Sugar Quill but I haven't been back since I got into a spat with someone on the boards there. About lycanthropy as a metaphor for homosexuality, or something like that. God. I haven't been there for years.

I was never disciplined enough to get round to archiving any stories, I'm afraid. :/

Yep. Only 1 at AL. I'll have a look around for others. I stopped reading HP shortly after OotP.

You could always post the unfinished stories during WIP amnesty which was in ??April or May??
Heh, or post daily snippets as a count down to Deathly Hallows.

(Another pretty icon!)
Joe Flanigan, SGA. That man keeps getting prettier every year.
That's a really niicce Blair. :D

Hah! That's an idea. Might be my own personal revenge on JKR for OotP. Not that she would care, but it might be cathartic.

Oh, Joe Flanigan is pretty. I remember thinking early in the first season of SGA that he was just my type. Sadly, I could never get into the show.

And yes, Blair is very pretty, too. I think I'm probably driving crack_van for TS next month, so he will obviously feature lots. :)
