Remix and Musings
Jan. 29th, 2007 10:58 amYay- Remix signups are open! You know you want to do it. I'm so excited for this challenge :) Of course, you never know what you'll get thrown (which is part of the fun). While my brain insists on outlining a remix of Stealing Harry or An Undying Passion for Cupcakes or something, watch in two weeks as I get an exclusive H/D shipper or something :) Or one of the other fandoms I said I'd write in. Heh. Lissa does Harry/Draco. I think that could be pretty funny, really, because it is SO not my ship.
Anyway. I had an interesting thought this morning. What became of James and Lily's house? I've seen fics where the wreckage is undisturbed, but you know what? I don't buy that. My theory? Mundungus Fletcher or the Ministry has cleaned it up a lot, put up a commemorative plaque, and charges Wizards and Witches 2 Sickles to tour the area. (I'm a cynic.) But it's where Voldemort fell (supposedly). It must be some sort of shrine or sacred area, or at least a tourist attraction. Wizards make something like pilgrimages there or something.
Of course, no one's ever told Harry, but who would have the stupidity to say, "Harry Potter? Hey, I toured the place where your parents died!" (Especially since the Creevys are Muggleborn?)
The odd thoughts that occupy my mind.
ETA: I'm hoping to have AIL 12 done by Friday, at the latest. Would someone be willing to read it over and get the grammatical mistakes, plus anything REALLY obvious that needs help? I hesitate to say beta, because I'd really prefer something lighter than a beta. It's going to be about 20 pages single spaced, TNR 10 pt font. :P Thanks!
