Rhetoric, Fanfic, ROFLing, and a Man Named Scott

Aug 26, 2008 19:00

Went to class today- Rhetoric and Composition 2, the course I am taking with that professor who looks oddly like Umbridge. She said something striking and rather out of the vein for a small-town English teacher, that "good writing should be like good sex, enjoyable for both people involved"...I was shocked, it was so surreal to hear a professor say ( Read more... )

fanfic, hp

Scott and I decided that Lupin would probably get stuck explaining the finer points of procreation to the boys, because:
a- He has the worst luck ever.
b- He's the only one that could do it with a straight face.
c- Clearly, he's the only professor at Hogwarts that's ever had sex(Teddy Lupin being proof), though probably knows more about abstinence than your average priest.
(Sirius would want to teach this class, but he wouldn't be allowed; I imagine he would be far too enthusiastic, and have more than enough knowledge he could share....and would probably scar the poor kids for life).

Would you please write this fic?

I'll see what we can work up. It's bound to be insanely funnificated, by any means:)

LOL. Thanks! that has been the best laugh I have had all day! I agree with mrstater, thus begs to be written!

:D
Always glad to get a laugh! I'll try this little idea out as a fic and we'll see what happens...

Home Economics is British, too, and I don't see why it's not taught at Hogwarts when I had to suffer it during my school days. Do the house elves have a hissy fit if someone else tries to cook a sausage roll?

It is true that to be a professor there, you apparently have to suffer having your heart broken into a million pieces in your misspent youth (which you can't reveal till the very last book), and therefore abstain from love and sex for the rest of your life. To take your mind off things, you either knit or don't wash your hair. Or wear tartan.

I was having a conversation with Mr Gilpin the other day about not really reading HP for the romance (as you basically have to write your own), and he pointed out that the two characters I write about are the only two in the course of seven books to get together, have sex, get married (choose your own order for this list), have ( ... )

I'm sort-of working on it already...
Between a ton of homework assignments and typing up a new chapter for the WIP(I have a few chapters written out by hand, they are in desperate need of editing, though. Yay for long roadtrips, huh!)

I'm glad we Americans aren't the only ones that had to take Home Ec! I hated that class, and I still can't cook worth a flip, so obviously it did no good at all. Luckily my boyfriend can cook;)

So true, so true;) I'd never make it there, except for the misspent youth thing. I can't knit. That, and they wouldn't need a "Drumming and Putting-Off-Homework-to-Write-Fanfic Studies" professor. LOL!
