LOL! Why thenk yew :)

As to Lady Shelob, alas! she is gone, about two weeks ago now. We buried her out in our own little Pet Sematary with various other critters, so she has returned to the Great Circle of Life...

I'm sorry about Shelob, although I much doubt that any spider ever had a better life. And for sure no one who met her will ever forget her.

I started reading HG/SS because of you, at first reading with great trepidation and disbelief, but it's really growing on me

you seem to have converted me. You may do your happy dance now. :-)

LOL! #mission_accomplished

There are even one or two plot/event parallels, such as Spock's "killing" of Kirk in Amok Time and Snape's killing of Dumbledore. It would be interesting to a do a full-on comparative analysis of the two characters within canon (and possibly within

I wasn't sure if I could sign up for your fest, because I wasn't sure I could write HG/SS properly. I tried to write a story as sort of a test, and "Trauma is my Normality" is what came out. That's, uh, really not the sort of story anyone would want to receive as a gift, so I'm afraid I'll have to pass. I appreciate your encouragement, though

I stumbled across a Harry Potter-Star Trek crossover story that has the Harry Potter kids as cadets at Starfleet Academy. The story is unfinished, sadly, but Snape is a half Vulcan in it. I thought you might want to know that it exists :-)
