It's so weird, but I hardly care about Remus/Tonks anymore. It's wrong and all, but I feel so blase about most things HP-related. Not that I'm not looking forward to the seventh book.
Like you, I just want Ron to live and the ensuing wank to be entertaining. (And I want Sirius back, but that's not going to happen. *sulk*)

I am mostly like that? But I know when I run into in the book - the R/T I mean - I will probably loathe it, because I don't think she can rescue it from the mess that was the hospital scene, or Tonks's behavior in book 6 (unless it was a huge red herring; we'll see).
And sadly, no, I don't think Sirius will be back, except as some kind of portrait or something. Sigh. But if Ron dies, I will have some very strong words for Ms. Rowling.

Ahem.
Bruce! Back in the pre-internet days when I was buying bootlegs and fanzines in the Midwest, it seemed like those Meadowlands shows were the holy grail. Of course, by the time I got to see a show there it was Continental Airlines Arena and he had long since stopped doing marathons. But it was still a hometown crowd and that made a big difference!

f I wanted to read things in Times New Roman, I'd have made that my flist default.
Exactly. And it doesn't add anything to the reading experience. It's not like they're scanning in handwritten things or something, where it might have relevance to a story.

Yeah, that first one was pretty marathon, from what I recall. Of course, at the time, I had nothing to compare it to, and it's a pretty high standard for any artist to meet. But it was awesome. The shows at the Garden were great too, but even though it's huge and impersonal, there's something about seeing him at Giants Stadium that was really amazing.

I don't think the end wedding will be Lupin/Tonks though; neither strike me as the big ceremony type.
As for hard coding font, I always hardcode courier for things like text messages.

Well, I mean it more in the sense of the wrap up she's allegedly going to give us, though I think if they did get married (urk) it'd be a desperate wartime wedding, small and quiet.

How do you mean? Within the text of your entry, if you're quoting a text message, you change the font? That makes sense I guess. I do that when I do the dvd commentaries on my stories, to differentiate. But for the most part, I find it irritating.

If I have two characters that are texting back and forth I put the text itself in courier. You can see that here. I find that quotation marks don't make any sense, and since Ryan uses netspeak and Simon certainly does not I want to have it look like an actual text, and courier is a good font for denoting "something that is typewritten". Also, it's a font everyone has so I don't have to worry about it getting messed up.
I don't really understand why someone wants to force you to read their font for an entire story. That's pretty irritating and strangely controlling.

*nod*
That makes sense. But for a whole story it's really just irritating, especially when it's a teeny tiny serif font.

You haven't lived until you've been in a stadium of 75,000 people singing along with "Seek and Destroy." Metallica is AWESOME in concert.
Dean wants you to write this story for him *RIGHT NOW*. With playlist.
Thanks for the Joisey memories. Have you not been farther down than LBI?

Huh. I never thought of that. But wouldn't they *notice*? I guess because I don't use a client for anything, I'm not aware of their quirks.

Bwah! Don't think I haven't thought about it.

Glad you enjoyed them. I enjoyed reminiscing. And no, unless passing through on the way to Baltimore counts...
