A Trip Through London

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I admit, it's been a very long time since I updated this journal but I am still alive and to prove it I'll post a drabble. I wrote it for the cookies marathon at the S.S. Ssssss and the themes were Spring and War. I just reread it and I must say, I'm quie pleased about it. So without further ado...

I found myself idly wondering tonight...

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
JKR spread many rumours and tidbits of information on the upcoming books before DH or even HBP were finished and released, many pieces of information that never came to be in the finished products. We can conclude from this that she only had a rough construction of the plot, one with many holes that only got filled during the process of writing. Some holes the size of Hagrid's little brother Grawp.

In connection to the double meanings many characters' names have, I found myself wonderin about her original plans for Tom Riddle. Why would she have given him this surname if all she ever planned on doing was solving the riddle for us, and quite crudely so, as she has done in HBP and DH? Thoughts, theories or suggestions? What is the solution to Tom Riddle?

Spread the word and let's wonder together.

A true "Oh my God..." moment

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
There are such idiots on FAP proposing some of the most unlikely and most far-fetched theories I have ever heard, and defending them vehemently! It's a pity you have to stay nice in discussions... I'd love to wring some necks now.

Amazing how such little things can get me all wound up...

As an opening post...

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
... whilst awaiting the glorious moment on which I will actually have figured out the workings of back up making, a link I was given by a friend. Have you seen this one before?

You Tube link

My favourite:

"You're fraternising with the enemy"
"Oh no, I didn't enter"

Did I mention I'm beginning to like IJ? Fic to come soon!

And as an end note: anyone who knows whether you can actually use your own or previous lj mood icons?

This mass exodus...

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
I don't like leaving livejournal. My friends are here, my favourite fics are here, my communities and fandom newsfeeds are here, but well, just like most people I agree that livejournal is taking these things on step too far. Several actually. I don't really plan on leaving, I just don't want to miss my communities and fics, but I have set up an IJ account to keep up with many others who are moving and to perhaps, start again. We'll see what the future brings of course, but you can find me on http://reignofthenight.insanejournal.com. And still here of course. Let me know who I can friend back under what name, all right? And share your thoughts of course about what the future should bring or might bring. Personally I'm hoping for a fandom driven journal service, because I don't believe in the superiority of IJ or GJ... not in the long run.

Read Part I. (Links to other parts from here)

This won't last forever anymore now. Only one more part to go, the longest so far, and then this horrid piece of whatever won't bother you again.

Seven things I did before digging in DH

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Tagged by [info]elfgirljen
1. List seven habits/quirks/facts about yourself.
2. Tag seven people to do the same.
3. Do not tag the person who tagged you or say that you tag whoever to do it.

And because I already did this one, I'll just copy mizstorge and list the seven things I did before reading Deathly Hallows.

1.) Took the train to Antwerp to meet a friend there
2.) Accompanied said friend to the supermarket where we did a lot of food shoppings
3.) Went to the house of another friend where we stored those shoppings
4.) Went with those two friends and another two to watch OOTP (again)
5.) Bought the book and was interviewed by the local tv station
6.) Went to the pub
7.) Started to read the first chapter but read the rest of the book only two days later, after we held a barbeque for about 10 people the next day.

It was fun!

More than books alone

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Tomorrow evening I’m seeing Order of the Phoenix, in two weeks time I’ll be reading Deathly Hallows. I was pretty excited during the pre-book 5 period but not as I am now. When I heard the bookstores were opening at midnight after all here (the 21st is our National Holiday) I was kind of… cheerful. Uncharacteristically so. I scared people. I had been looking forwards to going and sharing that moment with fellow fans and friends after all.
 
Since I participate in the lively world of online fandom I find myself to be much more excited about this kind of things, I even started following the newsletters. That’s when I came to the conclusion that Harry Potter is more than just the books, part of the pleasure is derived from the events and egging each other on. Just take a look at the pictures and popularity of the conventions (Phoenix Rising, Sectus) or think of the many shipping discussions and fanon inventions.
 
So what does it mean for you? Do you participate in any Harry Potter events or is it a strictly books thing for you?
 
Apart from that I had the opportunity to see the film earlier, once at the avant premiere (here in Belgium) and once at the American Movie Festival but as it was with all (non UK or USA etc.) national pre-screenings, here too it was the dubbed version they showed. (It’s called American Movie Day, but they show the Dutch version. Just don’t ask, there’s no logic in it. There is of course, to prevent piracy, but heck…) I didn’t want my first impression of this film’s Voldemort to be him speaking with the voice of a chain-smoking woman, or that’s what it sounds like anyway. *so gay* It could be funny if it was actually convincing.
 
On a concluding note, I’m looking for some nice fanfics with my favourite pairing to serve as bedtime reading (don’t laugh) so if anyone has something to recommend? Don’t hold back!

DRABBLE: After Rationality...

Add to Memories Tell a Friend
Title: After Rationality…
Pairing: Harry/Voldemort
Summary: 100 word drabble from Harry's POV. A cookie written for the S.S. Sssssss. Their first time.
 
***
 
I am captivated by you.
 
Your now silent orations, tongue-touched explorations, sailing the mountains in my make-shift robes. Threads of silk give me the power to float along with birds and you gave them to me. I hold it dear, it is a part of my being now and it hurts when it wrenches my personality apart. Having my heart forced together with yours hurts, My Lord. It holds me beyond the measures of attention.
 
I had never thought that the physical aspect could touch my mind so deeply. The boy in me hadn’t believed that the consequences were far-reaching…

Predictions... (or I actually did not have too much time but pretended to have anyway)

Add to Memories Tell a Friend


I just can't remember that I actually answered this... I mean, it probably is just what I want to happen instead of what really will happen in the end. Not that I hate Harry so much but because it's pretty sure that poor Voldieluv will not survive Rowling's last stage of the mindblowing journey (for some readers in any case) and I don't want Harry to remain behind with only Ginny for company!

Or else, because it would be such a clichéd ending!

A very happy birthday! (Birthday FIC)

... for one the driving forces of the S.S. Sssssss,

[info]elfgirljen! I wrote a little something for the occasion. I had meant for it to be a simple cookie but it turned out a bit longer. (And that's probably the only time you'll ever hear me say such a thing)

So, especially for you:
