Zorb in Oz

After a too-long hiatus, the next chapter of Hogwarts, School of Rock is here!

In this chapter, Aberforth makes a shocking discovery about his students, charms a Charms professor, and reveals the secret behind every good band.

I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it. :-)

Two things.

1) The H/Hr shippers have joined the fic fest bandwagon and are having our very own hphg_ficathon! We've only just gotten started, so there's plenty of fic and art challenges waiting for good homes. The deadline's not till the end of May, too, so there's plenty of time. All you have to do is e-mail your first and second choices to lissinthecity and she'll sign you up.

2) USA Today article? Issues. Buckbeak != thestral. However, this series of Dan-Harry pics is mindbogglingly w00bie.

( I have been sucked into the Stargate fanfic world, but I am a n00b - recc me fics! )

It's true what they say. Resistance really is futile.

ETA: I am Snape on that MB/HP quiz. Hah.

Calling all Harry Potter fans!

I'm part of the team which is working on a bid for a Harry Potter symposium in Las Vegas, in 2006, and I'd like to ask for your assistance. We've created a survey asking for your preferences regarding hotels and food and local attractions, so that we can create an event that will best serve the needs and interests of the fandom. Now what we need is for people to give us their answers!

We'd love to get a wide range of responses, so if you have a few minutes to fill out the survey, it would be greatly appreciated.

You'll find the survey here:


Thanks in advance for your participation, and please feel free to pass along this link ( http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.asp?u=4644380169 ) to anyone else you think would be interested!

Drabble-O-Matic. Fun for the whole family.

Some of those actually worked! *g*

Ooo, WIP Amnesty Day. That sounds fun. And hey, a substantial post on this journal! Exciting, I know.

I have a great number of plot bunnies that have never/never fully made it onto the screen. Unfortunately, most of them were lost in the Great Crash of '03; songfics and filks and other fun and angsty things. All that's left now are School of Rock and the To-Be-Titled Post-Hogwarts Novel-Length Fic Of D00M.

Here's a tidbit from the next chapter of SoR: ( Apolla, this part's for you ;-) )

Hee. Next, we have the TBTPHNLFOD. I came up with the original idea two bloody years ago, and I even wrote the first chapter. Even then, I knew it was lacking something to make it more than just another Trio drama. OotP provided that something in the form of Luna. The fic's focus shifted from Harry, Ron, and Hermione to Hermione and Luna. I think the dynamic between them is fascinating, and I want to explore it in a fic. Some of you saw the prologue of that fic, and others saw two versions of a scene from what would be the second chapter.

Originally, it was going to be a first person fic, but since the focus has changed, I'm leaning towards third person. I say this as if I expect to ever get around to writing it, hee. But anyway, here's that scene again, in first person. I would like to state for the world that this scene was one of the very first that I envisioned for the fic, long before OotP arrived. My predictive powers are truly remarkable. ;-)

Finally, there's another fic that at this point will probably never see the light of print. It was inspired by hermionemalfoy, who also collaborated on the plot. It's a darkfic with massive backstory, and Ron/Draco - evil Draco. It was going to be fantastic, too, but after OotP, it just doesn't work like it used to. It was lost in the Crash, but luckily, ! had a copy saved.

( Chapter One, and the first bit of Two - and that's all I wrote )

There you go, all of my writing skeletons flung from the figurative closet. Hard drive. Whatever.
