T minus 4:16 hours and counting...
Jul. 20th, 2007 07:44 pmIn International Date Line, Potterdämmerung was happening
I'm imagining a sort of line of fire moving westward, leaving the Earth blackened and post-apocalyptic in its wake, and a rumpled CNN anchorperson gravely announcing, 'First it took New Zealand, and now Australia's gone, and Russia's going and it's reached India...and something really weird happened in Beijing...'
I'm going offline now, because there will definitely be real spoilers, and I've held out so long. So, see you tomorrow.

Jul. 19th, 2007 08:11 pmThe Potterdämmerung approaches...
Ten years of narrative pressure are about to be released. The people who produced a hundred BANGy theories will probably find the ending too simplistic, because no one solution can live up to the complexity of some of the things I've seen posted; people whose ships sink or favourite characters die are going to be furious, and if Snape turns out to have been evil all along his wives on the astral plane will be very unhappy.
Personally I'll be happy with it if the body count spares my favourites. I'm very anxious about Harry, Ginny and Neville, and to a lesser degree Ron, Hermione and Luna. I'm resigned to one Weasley at least dying, and some of the Hogwarts staff. I don't want to be spoiled though. It's going to be hard not to turn to the last chapter and start looking for who's still walking around.

Jul. 17th, 2007 01:37 pmI sold a book on Amazon to someone in Helsinki yesterday, and her surname looks like it came straight out of Quenya. It's the other way round, of course.

Jul. 16th, 2007 08:22 pmSudden horrible thought: the Post Office have been on strike a couple of weekends recently. What if they do it on Saturday??
Only a week to go now
Jul. 14th, 2007 12:09 pmI finished my re-read of HBP last night. I'd been doing the chapter-a-day thing, but as I came close to the end I wanted to finish it quickly. It's only about the third time I've read the last chapters straight through; I usually skirt Dumbledore's death.
I hope a Potter-free week might foster a little detachment. I feel so fond of Harry and friends at the minute. In that case I probably shouldn't go and see OotP until after next Saturday. Then if Harry dies in DH, I'll have saved a fiver.
Actually I think the death of any of the Trio + Ginny would seriously affect my enjoyment of the series. If Neville, Luna, Remus, McGonagall, Hagrid, Tonks or any of the rest of the Weasleys die, I'd be upset but I could probably handle it. The only spoiler I'd be amenable to is an Everybody lives! one.
I wonder if, when my copy arrives, I'll be able to read it through and not turn to the last chapter before I get to it.

SPOILERS: DO NOT WANT
Jul. 11th, 2007 09:53 pmBecause this is the last chance, I want to go unspoiled for Deathly Hallows. If you have a spoiler filter, I don't want on it. I hope I'll be strong enough not to click. I bet I'll get spoiled on the radio or something at the last minute. Perhaps I should become a hermit for a week until Royal Mail deigns to get out to our house....
Well, maybe if it's "Harry Ron Hermione and Ginny all live" I could handle it.

angua9 made an interesting post a couple of days ago about appreciation vs appropriation of canon. (Briefly, appreciators enjoy it as is and if it stops being enjoyable, they wander off, while appropriators become attached to one aspect of it, or to the fanon, to the point where the canon disappoints them and the post screeds of complaint, or in extreme cases, wed Snape on the astral plane.I fear I may have slightly appropriated Doctor Who recently, or in other words become one of a new breed of rapid Martha fen. Or possibly Last of the Time Lords was a complete stinker of an episode, down there with Love and Monsters.
Things in LotTL that I'm throwing out of my personal canon:
( Spoilers )
Normally I'm more of an appreciator than an appropriator, or, as the Harmoanians or Draco-in-leather brigade would call me, a sheep. I mostly ship with what I think is the canon, and my fanfics are mainly fill-in-the-gaps, might have happened off-screen shorts.
However, I've just noticed that I'm more of an appropriator when the canon is many-authored: Lord of the Rings (book) or Harry Potter I just read and discuss, I don't even fanfic much, whereas with a TV series like Doctor Who or Battlestar Galactica it seems much easier to say "I'm going to quietly ignore episode X-after all, the writers dropped plotline Y and forgot about it two series ago." Also, the quality of TV series varies much more than a series of books by the same author. Films, like Potc, are somewhere in between, and Star Wars is a bit unusual: all the six films are canon (and I don't care that much when Han shot), but I throw out the books except for any interesting world-building I want to use in fic, and I've written a long original character fic that 's happening just off-screen. I suppose I appreciate the Skywalkers' story, but I've appropriated their world.
New Who is especially easy, because in a way it's fanon: Rusty and Co are fans who have got the opportunity to make a giant fanvid of the original series, complete with Mary Sues.

Jul. 5th, 2007 06:18 pmI haven't posted anything for public consumption for ages, but that's ok as I don't have a public.
Naomi and David are away at senior Camp. It seems weird for them to be gone and not mt.
We have a trampoline, but it's not getting as much use as it might because it's rained non-stop for three weeks.

I read a fic at the weekend set in the last scene of Last of the Time Lord, with the Doctor thinking that he can never say 'I love you' to anyone, and now I can't find it. It was posted quite soon after the finale. Anyone recognise it?

Don't mess it up now
Jun. 29th, 2007 09:43 pmI am feeling a bit worried about Martha. Obviously tomorrow she will be awesome as usual, and I'm not seriously afraid of her dying, but I do hope that the Unrequited Rubbish will be resolved in some satisfactory manner.
I'm actually a bit concerned that Martha will tell the Doctor to get stuffed and leave, and who can blame her if she did? I hope she'll stay around and be amazing for another series at least, and I will be cross if she does the default companion exit and goes to work for Torchwood. It would also mean that Torchwood would be shown up as the collection of pathetic incompetents that they are (ooh, Martha vs Owen!) and it would have to stop running after two episodes, unless Martha gets infected by the Magic Uselessness, which would be tragic.

Obviously all the libraries I went to had got their stock in the Seventies so the darkest bit's there in stead of the Eighties and early Ninties when I was actually doing the reading. I copied this fromlegionseagle complete with the HTML, and I think I only had to change one of the Newberry winners, but a lot of the Carnegies. It seems that only a certain set of the American books made it over here and into school libraries (also the Newbery likes Welsh-ish fantasy).

Obviously all the libraries I went to had got their stock in the Seventies so the darkest bit's there in stead of the Eighties and early Ninties when I was actually doing the reading. I copied this from
legionseagle complete with the HTML, and I think I only had to change one of the Newberry winners, but a lot of the Carnegies. It seems that only a certain set of the American books made it over here and into school libraries (also the Newbery likes Welsh-ish fantasy).
