This and that

Mar 30, 2016 11:18

So, I'm experiencing this new thing while trying to sleep where it really bothers me to feel breath on my arms. My own or Sven's, doesn't matter. Which is weird. And complicating matters of getting to sleep quickly and efficiently ( Read more... )

Fanfics - Have you read "Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness"? I'm just rereading it myself and OMGsogood! I've started considering it canon ;)

I'm the same with breath on my arms when trying to fall asleep! Even when awake I don't like it (if I'm lying reading while Lars is still asleep). Ch!

I have never read a single Harry Potter fanfic. I haven't even read the Harry Potter books. I'm a bad, bad person. :p

But I will consider looking into your glowing recommendation.

And oh good, I was worried I was being the craziest crazy to ever crazy with the breath-weirdness. So glad I'm not alone. :)

Probably not worth reading the fanfic unless you've read the books... or at least seen the movies.

If you've seen the movies then DAatYoD is HP7 part 1-2 seen from the viewpoint of the students remaining at Hogwarts.

If you haven't seen the movies either, then never mind ;-)

HP is the only fandom I've ever really dived into. I've read a few fanfics in other fandoms, but only 1 or 2 in each.

Well... don't know if I can claim not to be crazypants myself... but at least we'll be crazy together.

Avengers-fanfic is my happy place, primarily. Lots of really, really good writers, and I'm happily splashing around, multi-shipping all over the place, because I just want my precious babies to be happy. :)

I do remember you liking C.S. Lewis' universe, and I think maybe I've recommended this before, but in case I haven't, dirgewithoutmusic has written some amazing meta-fics about the tragic fate of the Pevensies. I've yet to manage a read-through without actually sobbing:

Ooooh, thank you! You're right, I love Narnia, and it's one of the few non-HP fandoms where I'll seek out fanfics :-)

Haven't read any Avengers-fanfic yet. I tried once or twice, but discovered that I just don't care enough about most of the characters :-P I'm a bad, bad person, I know. Well... either that, or the movies are just enough for me. I've found that in other fandoms as well, that I really don't need anything besides the books/movies/tv-show/whatever.

I wonder what makes the difference. Because it doesn't seem to necessarily be how much I like the original work.
