That first one has to be a pisstake. No one in their right mind would call a house-elf Steve. And as for Harry being the Duke of sodding Windsor... And he gets "coronated"? In Azkaban? What the...?

I hardly dare click on the other one after that.

*thumbs up*

I have to go to a family party. I demand detailed reports when you get back!

(Cassie and I are tossing around ideas for another Gathering later this year, possibly in Leeds. Will post further on that once we've planned it out better.)

I'd love to see it PPC'd. That's why I mentioned it. It's been haunting me. >>

Says one of the writers of the Dumbledore/Seamus hilarity.

Regrettably, I won't be able to come. Revision, assignments and visiting relatives that will be showing up sometime this weekend have forced me to change my plans.

Has anyone here ever hear of Independent!Harry badfic?
You know, where it turns out Dumbledore has been using Harry like a puppet all along, and Harry turns out to be the heir of multiple old families, AND he has tons of superpowers, AND he's involved in the political process, AND he's just a great big flaming Stu?

Why, just why? How'd this type of fic become so common in the first place?

Here's what I mean: http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3190255/5/TheHouseofLords

Okay, rant finished.

... is tomorrow. It starts at noon, at Bath Spa station, and will go on till about five. If you want to come, you're welcome to, whoever you are. Look for the hS in the Sunflower Official t-shirt.

Agent Kierra is more than a bit knife-obsessed and she wants one of those hammerspace knives. *backs away from the crazy, console killing agent*

I think Trojie and I could probably be persuaded to kill that one without too much trouble.

I technically got Permission from Miss Cam back in the day, but Megan and I abused the privilege, so I felt that I should try again now that I'm older and (hopefully) wiser.

I considered http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3912670/1/AModicumof_Pleasure, a NSFB Dumbledore/Dobby fic, but realised I couldn't actually read it, so I don't know how bad it is beyond the squick. If someone else wants it... they're braver than I am.

I meant that I like script format in certain cases. Helen has a fic she has written in script form, and I'm helping her translate it into prose so she can post it on the Pit.
I don't watch much television either. Oh, and sorry about calling myself "the accomplice" all the time. It would be kind of silly to blow my own cover, wouldn't it?

I wish you much snarktastic joy in bringing about the safety of the multiverse in the coming year.

Have a Staff of Napalm.

Here, have a Shiny Object to inspire and guide you.

After all, Pads is a bit more territorial than most, understandably. There's no telling what she'd do if anyone went messing with her shrine.

Now, my knowledge of genetics is rusty, I know, but wouldn't it also be possible for there to be a disease for which the relevant immunity-gene, as it were, is only on the X chromosome and requires two copies to successfully defend against said disease? Then you'd get gender-specific illnesses too.

I suppose it's also possible there could be something on the Y chromosome giving an immunity to some disease or other, meaning only women would be affected, but this seems less likely. I just can't quite articulate why, as I'm half asleep.

Of course, if we're meaning diseases as in hereditary ones, it gets a lot easier to explain. The only infectious disease I can think of that's markedly different between genders is some sexually transmitted diseases, which eg have lots of lovely oozy symptoms in women, but go totally unnoticed in men. Not sure why that's the case though, so can't formulate any principles based on it.

Or, indeed, to try and clean it up.

Piles and piles of birthday lembas for you!
