I realize I still haven't responded to a lot of comments (bad Lissa), but between the stupid notification system being down and me being kind of grumpy and all, I haven't gotten around to it. But I DO want to say thanks to everyone for being so supportive.

I'm technically due today. Which probably means I have lower odds of delivering today than any other day around it. :P

A few little random comments:

1.) My Goblet of Fire review is posted. It's probably not one of my better reviews and it isn't as entertaining as what I posted here, but hey- I watch my slashy comments on the MRFH site. Recently, I've been doing better on my more serious reviews. I love my review for Jarhead and the other night we watched American History X, which I had a lot to say about.

2.) If you are looking for a fic, either at FAP or on line:
-It really helps if you actually give information about the plot,
-Just putting "HELP!" or "Lost fic" or "Looking for..." in the subject line does not compel people to click and see what you are looking for, and
-If you're after "good" fics, I'm much more believing of that if your post shows some basic grasp of grammar and spelling. Really.

3.) Believe it or not, I have still been working on writing, and can I just say I'm falling in love with Regulus? WHY is there so much sexual fic about the boy (especially incest) when there are so many more interesting things to do with him? I mean, come on. Moral conflict, smart as a whip, double agent, guts, "Dear Voldie, fuck you, love Reg"... the boy is WASTED in a sex-only role.

4.) I have a plot bunny that I can't write, at least not right now. But it would be interesting. What would be the implications of aging and gradually going senile in the wizarding world? It's hard enough to take away the things some of our seniors used to be able to do, like driving, or to watch them slowly slip into Alzheimers. Could you imagine having to take away your grandmother's wand because she's a threat to herself and those around her because she can't cope with reality anymore? Someone needs to write this at some point. Actually, I'd love to do it myself, because you know this is a plot begging for some minor characters who don't get much action, like maybe Arthur Weasley having to cope with doing this for his mother or something.

Ah well. Back to my private grumpiness. Hope everyone had a great Turkey Day, and hope my f-list feels better! (Lots of sickies!)

Thanks! :) I've been enjoying being grumpy in a perverse way, actually. There's days it's just FUN.

And chocolate is always good :)
