AC

[rm]

In an utterly unproductive use of my time last night, i spent hours writing a six page article for Associated Content providing an overview of HP fanfiction. I still can't decide if it, or the fact that I wrote it, is funny or not. I tried to explain Corvus Fallere. This was perhaps ill-advised.

Off to that forgotten, forlorn day job now.

Meanwhile, new AC:

Alas...

Food For Thought (in DC) is gone.

:(

And oops.

We Tried...

[keith418.livejournal.com]

... to go there the last time I was in DC and was informed it was long gone. I went in both the early and late 80s. Sad, because it was a fine place with some real memories for me.

Re: We Tried...

[rm.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I went there all through college (early 90s) and I suppose the last time I was there was probably in 2000 or so.

Regarding Corvus in the AC article... Well, I'm tickled.

:D

[rm.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad! Btw, as much as I was on some level disappointed by the end of the story because I'm a sucker for the happy/romantic ending, and I feel there was a lot of unresolved _something_ between Severus and Harry in it, it was exactly the ending the story needed and showed a certain understanding of BDSM stuff that I don't see that often in fic fannish or otherwise.

[mousewrites.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Not everybody likes the ending. Orginally, the escape was to have happened in book III, but I felt that most of book III was going to be... words for words sake. There MAY be a sequil, dealing with some of the unresolved .... stuff.

Again, thank you for including me in the article. Did AC pick it up?

[rm.livejournal.com]

They did... if you search for it, you should find it, as I've no idea of the URL offhand.

The possibility of a sequel is tantalizing. I had largely just assumed that these were things that would just never be resolvable for hte characters in light of the logistics of the world.
