Very impressive and thorough list. I liked the hair color descriptions. I am writing one fanfiction and I refer to the HP books all the time. The HP lexon is great also. Great job on the above, kudos.
Thanks! It's very much a work in progress - I beta a lot and I kept looking up the same stuff all the time so I thought I'd start keeping track of it all. If you notice any mistakes, let me know! :)
It's not finished yet, but I'm updating it all the time. I got fed up of always looking up the same stuff when I was writing or betaing, and the Lexicon isn't always right, so I started keeping a list - and hasn't grown! If you spot any errors at any point, please let me know.
It's such a great resource. I usually check with Potterwords, but that LJ is so awkward to search. It takes me forever to think about under which category Ms. Potterwords could have hidden a specific term. I was always wishing for just a plain list by alphabet. And there you made it!
Hi! I just wanted to thank you again for posting this. I always get so frustrated with Potterwords because of the way it's organized (or not). You are so cool!
Thank you my lovely! Sorry for not replying to you before, I think you must have commented when RL was getting on top of me.
The list is not really finished yet - I got sick of always looking up the same things when I was writing or betaing so I started keeping a list, and then I thought I might as well post the list so I'd be able to find it easily, but it's great that it seems to be useful to other people too :) I've never quite understood how potterwords works, to be honest.
If you have any corrections or suggestions for improvement or additions, just let me know - I'm always updating it anyway.
Well, I'm trying to write a fic for Smoochfest. Slow going at the moment. *sighs* I'm a little worried about it... Are you participating in Smoochfest? heh - I was just looking through the list and noticed you included prostate/prostrate! Thank you - it drives me crazy when I'm reading a fic and Draco rubs his cock against Harry's prostrate. Oh really? The other one that cracks me up is when Draco's nipples are taught (smart nipples!) or taunt (ok, maybe Draco's nipples are capable of taunting Harry - those cruel, cruel nipples) when they mean taut. Maybe it's just me, though... :)
