escape yourself and gravity

Yes, I'm writing fanfic at work, bad Steph. Someone help me out: When did Snape fly away from Hogwarts? It's not listed on the Lexicon timeline for DH, and is probably something I shouldn't neglect to mention in the fic I'm working on.

ETA: Nevermind, cloudlessnights's hilariously snarky questions about HBP are in chapter order, so I discovered that it's right before the Second Battle of Hogwarts. Huzzah. (And if you haven't read her DH questions, you should. 500 unanswered questions regarding JKR's faulty logic. *snerk*

I find this amusing and cute.  It seems to have been posted on 18 July, before the book.  So no spoilers. *G*

SPOILERS FOR DH CONTAINED HEREIN


( Read more... )

( Though I suppose this part here might be, but really it isn't as it has to do with a ship that was popular well before DH even came out. )

Then again, I've read the new canon, I've disliked it, I've processed it, and I've decided to go back to the sandbox of earlier canon. *grin*

I've even decided to finish These Deep Solitudes, the first epic fic I ever wrote, which I abandoned when OotP came out because of how distraught I was over Sirius' death and how it jossed my fic.  (BTW will someone explain "joss" to me?  I know it's to do with Joss Wedon and I think Firefly? but I must have missed how the term came to be.)

However I felt about the book, I had a fabulous time at the t00bery in Chicago, and I am so so glad to have met new friends.  Not to mention thesnapelyone and I went in costume and acted as generally slashy as possible.  Though I must say, I heard a lot of people whispering "Look, it's Snape!" but very few people saw my tatty sweater and patched robes and said "OMG Remus is snuggling with Snape!"  *grin*

Yet another person goes into pre-Deathly Hallows lock-down.  Friends-only commenting for the next week, and I'll be reading a very VERY tight filter of my flist.  I want to go to our Chicago reading party unspoiled.  I want to be surprised by everything I read (well, as much as possible, since I have my own theories, of course).

See you all on the other side!

I was just about to go to bed when I noticed my ticker on my profile...And I had to share.






OMG ONLY SEVENTEEN DAYS?!!?!??!

*flails*


I'm not ready.

Dude, flisters!  Why not more squeeing over the Deathly Hallows cover art???

I am going to break down and buy all the UK adult versions as well, just to have the kickass covers.  And 608 pages in the Bloomsbury British edition!!!  That's one page MORE than my Bloomsbury British copy of HBP!

GAH!  I don't want it to end yet, but I still can't help getting caught up in the excitement!


OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!
