I was finally able to read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, and my one sentence review of it would be that it's relatively good fanfiction. Not the best fanfiction I've read, mind you, and I also don't really read Next Gen so it's not the type I'd specifically seek out but yeah. (And in one sense, it is fanfiction because Rowling didn't write the ( Read more... )

Was tagged a while ago by krissy-cits, but I'm finally back on lj now! Also, doing this meme made me realize how many of my ships involve kinda obscure characters haha.

Because it's adorable: Arthur/Molly
Because it's hot: Narcissa/Rabastan (at least in my head)
Because it's plausible: Bellatrix/Rodolphus
Because they're alike: Hermione/Theo Nott ( Read more... )

Trying to get back into everything after having been gone for so many months, and thought I'd start by doing this meme which krissy-cits posted on her lj!

Favourite character?
Generally speaking, Hermione. I also like reading/writing fandom Snape a lot, though.

Which house?Ravenclaw, although I think I have some pretty strong Hufflepuff ( Read more... )

Surprised and saddened to hear of Alan Rickman's passing.

It feels like my life in the last 6 months has just been jumping from one deadline to the next, but I'm determined that one day I'll have time to write! There are some holidays that particularly make me think of fandom and writing (Halloween, Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day), and then I get an urge to write (or read) a one-shot themed around ( Read more... )

I'm finally done with the flurry of deadlines from, uh, the last three months, and to celebrate I got around to reading Go Set a Watchman. My one sentence review of it would be...it's weird. Some reviews I saw before reading the book said that it was rough around the edges (there were some portions where I personally thought "Yeah, an editor should ( Read more... )

I left my journal on an airplane this Memorial Day Weekend, and I wasn't too worried at first since I thought, "Well, it's not small and I know I left it on the plane, so I'm sure the flight attendants will find it when cleaning the plane." But now it's been almost a week, and they still haven't found it, which does not bode well at all ( Read more... )

While Harry Potter is my only fandom I read/write fanfiction for consistently, I do have a few other fandoms in the sense that I follow them on tumblr and will consistently seek out their media (movies/tv episodes, as the case may be), which says something about how much I like them given how short my attention span normally is. The Avengers is one ( Read more... )

This is the piece I mentioned in my January 4th lj entry, where it started out as a plot bunny where I said "Oh, I'll just sketch a quick outline" and then somehow that turned into me working on it for 14 hours straight and essentially writing the whole piece from start to finish in one sitting. The title is based off of a suggestion from my beta- ( Read more... )

I learned German in high school, and one of the things I do sometimes to try and keep it up is read books in German that aren't too high-brow/hard to understand, so some of the books I've read are some of the Harry Potter books (since they are directed towards kids/teens after all). I started reading Goblet of Fire recently, and I wanted to share ( Read more... )
