Not sure it'd be quite fair, for one.

The sound you just heard was that of my head colliding with my desk as the sheer horribleness of that book caused me to temporarily loose consciousness.

This is basically The Eye of Argon all over again!

Maybe I'll have to ship this thing over from the States and do a dramatic reading ...

Though maybe she was joking?

Still, I'll reserve judgement until I actually read the book.

Fantastic as always. Bit saddening that Selene's gone bonkers, though. End of an era.

And very up to date.

(tiny voice - "the suddenly-appearing newcomer was talk," I think you meant the sudden newcomer was tall...

As usual, a thoroughly enjoyable interlude!

A lot of my schoolfriends are getting their mopeds round about now (as in, when they turn 16)

That was entertaining, nicely written, though (no rudeness intended) are we actually going to see any more missions from you instead of random adventures of your agents (or future versions of them)? Not that they're not fun to read, but just after that whole "missions are the core of the PPC" speech a while back, heh. :P But as I said, not pointing it out to be mean, just thought I'd ask about 'em.

The End of the Beginning: Broken Storm

The above story is happening right now. Specifically, the scene at the end finished seconds before I posted this. How's that for up-to-date?

Harry couldn't take the test with Ron and Hermione in HBP, remember? Because his birthday's not until the summer, so he was only 16 when the first opportunity to take the test came round.

And re: it being a charge her driving when she can Apparate - if they're ignoring driving age limits, they're probably ignoring Apparition age limits. And even if they're not, she's still got no reason to learn to drive. (And no opportunity to either, what with being at Hogwarts all the time.)

My brother went through it last year, plus I had to watch all my friends go through it because I got diagnosed with epilepsy about a month before my birthday. XD Which is probably why it irritates me quite so much.

I'm fairly sure it's 16 for mopeds though, or really low power motorbikes.

You have to take a test to be allowed to Apparate, and I think the age limit on it is still 17/18.

I think you still have to be seventeen before you can apply for a provisional licence. Might be earlier for motorbikes, I don't know, 'cause I don't drive.

Of course, one could also charge for Hermione bothering with a car. I'm pretty sure she can, y'know, Apparate. What with being a very good witch, and all that.

Yeah. You have to be 17 to drive, at least with a proper license. I think it still counts as a charge, being that HP is supposed to be set in England.

Still, there's plenty enough to go on already without having to bring up the car. Heh.

In New Zealand I could drive when I was 16. Admittedly, I wasn't that good, and admittedly, I was only on a Leaner's License, but I knew several people who could drive well at 15/16. So that doesn't appear to be a major problem.

The rest, though, burn her dead.

and fixed it.

link should have been Website Link

Accusations of plagery are a bother. But as said, I've used ideas I got from other people's fics, I've given credit where I got the idea, and no one has said anything about plagery. I guess the given credit played an important part in that.

If you feel uncomfortable using an idea you got from another fanfic you shouldn't use it. You should always like to write the stories you are writing.

... and I quote, "I've never stalked anyone but I'm sure I would be good at it."

See why I don't want my sister reading these books?

One week each year, you pay for that tranquility, though. XD Ah, O Week.

My userpage has a little problem with the website link thing. I'm linking to my LJ, but it doesn't appear on the page. Any ideas?

If there are guns or poles that pass for Star Wars electrostaffs there, I missed them...

Thanks for the links. Any Gaia-style weapo/armourn pics out there?
