OMGWTFEPIGRAPH? The Libation Bearers? Do any of the other books have these, or did JKR suddenly get really pretentious/become overwhelmed by the need to prove her knowledge of Greek tragedy?

Also (and related to Greek tragedy), so many deaths were either lame or just...not shown. Snape's not in the book for like 500 pages and then he promptly dies? There must have been a better way to structure that.

HAHAHA, I seriously thought Mrs. Weasley was possessed. Throughout the book. Her shouting, "THAT'S MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!" at the end did nothing to dissuade me of this notion.

JKR totally stole my nose-is-broken-at-a-funeral idea. Which, ok, I did sort of steal from Roger Dodger.

OMG Ron has a driver's license!! Forget everything else, there needs to be fic about this.



The closest thing I have to a HP icon depicts James Spader. Nice.

That is exactly how I felt about their deaths. They were so perfunctory that they didn't even register, and I was once a die-hard MWPP fan, so it should have. The one-sentence throwaway felt more like an act of boredom. "Oh, blah blah, they died." The person with the best death was Dobby, and that goes for the whole series. I cared more when Cedric/Dumbledore/whoever died in the movie than I did in the book. Sirius' death just put me off of the series because it was so pointless, and my favorite pairing (yes, with Remus; they are so gay for each other, whatever) was destroyed.

GINNY. UGH WORST ROMANTIC INTEREST EVER. I mean, Rowling just sucks at romance in general, but. Tonks/Remus? Didn't feel plausible. Ron/Hermione? Saved by fandom, really. Harry/Ginny? A total WTF. Ginny was only awesome for that brief period of time where she wasn't intereted in Harry, and she acted like her own person, rather than someone trying to get Harry to fall desperately in love with her.

Haha, Alan met Jimmy! They chatted at breakfast. It might actually be in Jimmy's memories... LOL IT IS. I am so amused I mem'd it. Okay, well, yeah. Jimmy and Caleb met, and went off on an adventure, and Ray and Jimmy were supposed to be good friends. Oh, man. We Hufflepuffs were freaking IGNORED. And then everyone else was doing makeout scenes in the dungeons and getting into the dark arts in the Slytherin house and Karly and I as mods were just fed up and abandoned it. Which we shouldn't have done! We totally should have re-conquered it and proclaimed a 'PG-13' rating or something. Get rid of all the BDSM that was fucking it up.

Dude, did you just make me a maintainer? HAHAHA.

OH SHIT YOU CAN TELL?

LOL I did it on a whim. (Anything to delay actually writing these fucking papers.) Can you tell when your maintainership has been removed from a community, too? 'Cause, hahahahahaha, I did a little of that, too.

Yeah, LJ sent me a notif. I dunno about being removed, though.

You dork! Get to work!
