Been a week, think it's safe to assume most people have finished DH. So, c&p'ing from V 1.0:
Gacked from magnolia_mama, the "I was wrong meme"
Basically just post (logged in, anon, friends, non-friends, I don't care and I never log ips) at least one thing that you were wrong about in regards to what was gonna happen in DH. I don't care what, I just think ( Read more... )

Three years on lj, four years in fandom, and five, well that's the most important, and weirdest of the lot. I've been labeling myself Orthodox for about five years now, but honestly it feels like I've been doing it so much longer a lot of the time. Maybe 'cause it crept up on me, maybe 'cause it was always in my plan, or maybe just 'cause. I find ( Read more... )

I'm actually doing a little dance cause my theory wasn't completely trashed by her new update. I was wrong about spells, as she uses them as a generic term, but basically right that charms don't change things. I think that's what I was basically getting at, but using a lot more pseudo-science. I was sort of right about what she refers to in canon ( Read more... )

I finally, finally!, finished my Walburga Black essay. It's over a month late, but it's done. So decide, does this essay make me a Walburga Black sympathiser? 'nother link if you missed the first one

Also, new challenge floating about, so join in!

I'm tired, but so thrilled that I finally finished this essay. It's been weighing on me for months now ( Read more... )

In fandom every difference is underlined, highlighted, and expected to cause all manner of distress and conflict.

DE/non DE ships are all over the place cause it's "the other" in triplicate. Someone shunned for his beliefs, capable of wickedness and therefore dangerous, and passionate about his cause? It's the perfect romantic hero, so long as you ( Read more... )

Ok, so there's the HP char meme, and I asked prettyveela to nominate me for Dobby. ana_christina is recruiting people, but please 2nd/3rd/87th my nomination for Dobby? The more the merrier. *puppy dog eyes* linky Uch, something happened and the meme sort of crashed. Oh well. Thanks though, all of you who joined in.

So why Dobby?

All the char's in the HP verse, and I want ( Read more... )

In math, to prove something can be quite hard. You need to do a full proof, by induction, contradiction, logic, any number of methods, and even then, most of the time it's called a theorem, which means proven but not absolutely. There are only a handful of laws in math. Science is much the same. To prove something, you need lots of experiments and ( Read more... )

Re: JK's interview

Throwing in my two cents, I think Ron and Hermione are gonna bite it. Or to be more exact, I think that if one of them dies, so will the other one. This actually has nothing to do with shipping.

Sort of spam, but also sort of completely unrelated to the last entry. Sorry though. Please link though to anyone interested.

Anyone interested in doing a meta or essay exchange?

Works same way as a fic/art exchange just with meta and/or essays. Prompt or people pitch in what they want to read, or how ever these things work. If there's interest, I ( Read more... )

hbpspork somehow helped me understand something that was bugging me in canon. The phrase that was driving me bats?
It was a mark of their friendship that Ron did not laugh. (Chap 8, pg. 169, American Ed.)

On first read I was thinking wtf? Of course Ron wouldn't laugh, friends don't laugh at junk like that, and Harry should know that Ron wouldn't, and wha? ( Read more... )
