ignipes wrote a great essay on the whole Terry Pratchett-J.K. Rowling "scandal" that hit the fandom yesterday. It's much more intelligent than what I would have said, which would be "the people who are ticked need to read the actual article that Pratchett is responding to, and hey people? JKR's not perfect. Besides, he never said anything bad about her anyway." (Like I said, her essay is much more eloquent and intelligent, and touches on a lot more points than I just hit.)
Also, two art recs:nassima drew a lovely version of my least favorite scene in Half Blood Prince here. As always, it's absolutely gorgeous- and even better, it's a colored one. I like Lupin in this one, but I really, really like how she did Fleur. Fleur seems to glow without being overdone or sparkly or silly. And you also must check out the pre-drawing sketch right below it, because... yeah. It fits.
Andbuttfacemakani also drew the most ADORABLE version of the Mollywobbles scene here. I really like the humor in her stuff, and this is just too funny and too cute at the same time. I quite like her pic of Rufus there, too. (Although, I must admit that I keep looking for the version that will become Damien. Damien was based on that description, so somewhere out there there has to be a version of Damien that someone's drawn. If anyone sees good fanart of Rufus, could you point me that direction, please?)
A question: has anyone found a place where the art from the Deluxe Edition has been scanned? I'm sure it's not all that legal, but I'd like to see it and it annoys me that they shrink wrap the stupid thing.
There seems to be interest for a Patronus Charm challenge (thanks totopaz_eyes for the name!). Not an overwhelming amount, but when you look at my LJ and the number of writers I have on my f-list, it's not like I have a huge list. We also found when we did this in Pern that it was something that picked up slowly.
Writing: The fic tentitively titled "Doing It Right" (which won't be the name that sticks) is coming along at a rather scary pace. For a R/T fic, that is. (I still can't believe I'm writing this. So much for my solemnly swears, huh?) Other than that, writing is slow, because I wanted to get out a review for Mutant Reviewers from Hell, and I need to get work accomplished.
And with that in mind.... back to my book. Chemical Applications of Molecular Modelling. Feel the joy.
