In honor of the announcement of Robert Pattinson (Cedric Diggory in the HP movies) being cast as Edward in the Twilight movie that will start filming in February, I am going to go ahead and post my

Heard about the formatting thing, and I'm sure it'll get taken care of today. Just real life stuff interfering, would be my guess.
I'm happy to have you friend me, and I'm really appreciative of the layout suggestion as well. I'll check out that layout and see what I can do.

As for my new HP community, it's going to be a canon missing moment community. The idea will be that eventually it will be divided into seven areas (or more -- I may do Marauder era, for example) with a listing of every chapter in each book and people can post missing moment stories they've written (or links for recs) for any of the chapters, so they'll all be grouped in one spot and organized. They can also post art illustrating different events in the chapters. I'm still working on how to define "canon-based" and that sort of thing, but I hope eventually it will really be fun. I'm hoping that seeing areas where there isn't much fic written may inspire more missing-moment stories, or from different view-points, etc. I think people would like having all those stories easily accessible. I've never seen stories intentionally grouped as missing-moment stories other than Phoenix Song's challenge this winter and those were just DH missing moments, but it was really fun. I think it could be a really creative, interesting way to look at the HP world, now that we can look back over all 7 books and see places where things must have been happening that we didn't know about at the time.

Does that sound interesting? I hope you think so. I hope that the biggest thing I really have to do is define the rules of the community and then pimp the heck out of the idea. Anyway, it's early stages yet, but I am thinking it would be nice to have it up and functioning sometime this summer.

Well, must get off and get things done. I'll drop a note to Carrick and encourage posting!

Thanks for your quick response. snuggle

That's a great idea for a community. There used to be a HBP missing moments community, but I haven't seen one for all the books.

I agree. Determining exactly what fics to include in your community would be the challenge. The book canon for each section is easy enough to define, but what if someone wants to post a well-written Luna and Harry snogging at the end of 5th year -- taking place when they have that moment? We know they didn't kiss, but could that be a missing scene for your community? The non-view point characters are the easiest to write missing scenes about.

At romancingwizard, we did Challenge Fifteen: DH Missing Scenes (link). (Here's the story listings: link.)

Personally, I've written a fair amount of missing scene fics and drabbles as well, mostly shippy but some gen.
