Yay!
I got Serenity! ::dances::
And 110 userpics. :)
Now if only I didn't have to go out in the VERY COLD SNOW in half an hours time... ::shivers::
ETA: Squeeeee! Darcy is picking up Impish Girl! ::loves husband::
ETA2: 2/3 through Harry Potter now (reading is so *slow* when there is so much else to do. ::sigh::). Main thoughts so far:
Harry Potter? Nice boy. Not that bright.

Maybe she'll do background stories or something once she's finished the main series? The current "offical" story is that book 7 is totally the end of the tale BUT that she may do a book 8 that is stories she had to cut to keep the novels from being too long. I think she said stories about the students. Anyway, she also said that IF she did a book 8 it would be for charity. Noble, IMO.
I'll go on an icon prowl soon. I only just frigured out recently how to use an icon different from the default one, without changing from default. I am comletely retard about everthing computer related. I have recently had to learn how to do links and italics and user names inside my posts. It all gets to be a bit much for me!

Heee! Spoken like a true fan! :)
Book 8 sounds good - I'd definitely like to read it.
And I noticed that you've started writing! I hope you're enjoying it - and I have to warn you that it becomes very addictive. (I don't read HP fanfic - or slash - and I have soooo little time for reading. But otherwise I'd love to have a look... )

And I am also very much a character-driven person when I write. The only PWP I've ever written is turning into this looooong story! *headdesk*

Part of what I am liking about this writing-a-story business is trying to stay as true to the characters as possible and yet writing a story that really never happened and in JKR's world, never could have. honestly, she doesn't give fans a lot to work with. Half the characters are adults and half are children. You have to make the children grow up in order to use them in relationships well. The adults are almost exclusively male, so you have to bend your mind around same-sex relationships in order to use them. I could write a best-friends-forever fic instead of a romance, but there isn't as much emotional satisfaction. In the story I am doing, they are friends. The attraction grows from that because, really, there aren't any girls in the story. The friendship I have them devolp needs to build into a romantic relaionship so that the angst at the end is extra angsty. I had to just stop looking at the fact that they were both male characters. I have to look it as: you fall in love with a person. If that person is male or female, black or white, rich or poor, old or young makes no difference. You fall in love with the person. Not with their shell, but with their inside self. that is the way I think about it. Not everyone would agree, obviously, but then I am not forcing it on anyone. It is a read if you choose situation.
Of course, I just soap-boxed in your journal. Sorry about that. I truly believe that every single person is entitled to think and feel what they choose. If a person thinks or feels the complete opposite of me, that is fine. I have no problem with other peoples beliefs. :)

Heh. Welcome to my world... the words are not easy. Oh no they're not. But it was THE most vicious plotbunny, so I went ahead a wrote it. I still can hardly believe that I actually *did* write it, not to mention post it for other people to see... (f-locked and filtered in case you were wondering.)
And then it just began sprouting sequels all over the place and is turning into this very disturbing study of a young girl being led astray...
Oh and I don't mind soap boxes. I have my own views on these things of course, but I'd never force them on anyone. Re. the slash then I mostly just find it icky. Although I have read the odd Spike/Angel fic. ;)

I would never make you read it, but I feel like I should warn you anyway: IF you should ever decide to look at my story, the is a HBP spoiler in the January chapter of Innocence. SO, don't even bother looking at it in any way shape or form until you have finished the HP series.
