brimtoast.livejournal.comSince there's been a lot happening in-game lately, and not a ton of activity on the fan end, I thought I'd take a moment to highlight some threads I've really enjoyed in the past week or so. So, eleven awesome recent threads:
1. Sally Anne learns that Tonks got lots of NEWTs, and sees that it doesn't matter how well she does, because her blood will always be more important.
2. Pansy knows where babies come from and would never let anyone do that to her. Heh! Yay eleven-year-olds.
3. Millicent is actually a good sport in a weird way. When Pansy starts being friendly to her, she's instantly friendly back, even though they were insulting each other moments before. I found that pretty endearing.
4. Megan and Susan have a very cute and very Hufflepuff approach to chess.
5. Harry gets a bad grade in an essay about himself.
6. Teddy is scandalized by which Welsh myth his teacher brings up. I love the look on his face!
7. Sally Anne has figured out that she can't be too smart in class, and Percy prefects his way through the journal comments. (My favorite Percy moment ever, by the way, was "BY GOD, I AM A PREFECT!" Awesome.)
8. Pansy has a mysterious personal history with the cruciatus curse, and Harry is defensive about it. It seemed like Narcissa's mother cast Crucio on Pansy during the weekend she was away, but I wonder if there's more to the story.
9. Teddy asked his father to cast Crucio on him once. But he thinks it would have been braver not to know. That makes it sound like part of the reason for his general curiosity is a sense of anxiety about the unknown. Do you think that's so? And if it is, where do you think it came from?
10. We learn more about Megan and Sally Anne's childhoods. Sally Anne's situation is incredibly sad.
11. And of course, the twins' protectiveness of "the Professor" is so sweet and wonderful. I linked to this particular part of the comments because I'd missed Ron and was very happy to see him again (but speaking of missing people, where's Draco been lately?).
Other fen, do you think this is a good use of fan community? Or is it too redundant with the summaries already posted? Or is it okay, but I should put it behind a cut? Ideally, I envision more sharing of favorite recent threads in the comments. If that's something other people are into.
