I joined a new lims! badassinc_lims Everyone is invited to come and participate since places are still open, or at the least join and vote for their favorites, it should be fun.

Yes, Yes, Yes!!!! Thank you CW!

I am very pleased to announce my new writing project, bah_rpg!

The Boy-Who-Lived, Harry Potter, defeated He-Who-Should-Not-Be-Named in June of 1998. Everyone in the wizarding world knows him, as well as those close to him. But what of the rest of us? Some of us fought alongside our friends during the Battle of Hogwarts. Some of us were already adults, perhaps in England, perhaps elsewhere. We are all different, yet have one common tie. Our lives were changed by the war. We also experienced heartache and loss as well as joy.

Blood has been shed and while scars may fade, healing is not always an easy task.

Join us now, ten years later. See our lives, and not just the lives of those in the Daily Prophet. Share our trials and triumphs. Our tears and smiles. We may not have our names written in history books, but we know what we’ve done and that is all that matters.

Blood and Healing is a present day Harry Potter Genre RPG, and is DH compliant. It is not however JKR interview compliant.

I am writing with some very talented authors that I have had the pleasure of writing with for little over 2 years now on various projects, and this should be a blast.

On behalf of all the writers, we hope you will check it out and tell us what you think!

First, let me say that I whole heartedly support the writers and this strike. They are the ones who give us those lines we like so well and help the creator’s dream come alive. Yes we have the actors, but let’s face it, a show is only as good as its writing. You can have the best actors in the world and if the writing sucks, so will the show.

And now the strike is hitting my favourite show.

( Sad news for Supernatural fans... )

Now, since they own the show, are they able to hold out longer than say Heros who has 3 more episodes left, or they just better prepared? Anyone know?

In the meantime, we have at least 5 more episodes (including tomorrow nights), and spoilers!

( Episode 11 Spoilers )

( Episode 12 Spoilers )

I want to thank JP who is my spoiler go to guy. He is the one who feeds my SPN addiction ;-) Anyway, wanted to share with my fellow SPN fans, and if anyone wants spoilers for episodes 8-10 let me know.

Anyone know how the stike will affect Smallville, NCIS, The Unit, How I met Your Mother, Ghost Whisperer or CSI?

Here’s to hoping the strike is settled right and soon…

Ok. I have heard a lot of bashing in fandom of JKR. Her characters were OOC, she was on crack, the epi was cheesy, so forth and so on.

( Cut just in case you haven't read DH- No real spoilers )

Now, the comments are open for discussion. You can agree or disagree with me. We all have our own opinions and I want to hear yours. :D

This batch is mostly textless (not bases) icons from Firefly 1.01. If you would like text added to a particular icon, or any other alterations, just comment :-). I plan on doing an episode from all Whedon 'verse series each week so feel free to make request/suggestions.

Teasers:
1. 2. 3.

lewlinx posed the question: Would anything make you throw HP7 and not read the end?

Before I answer I want to preface. I watched the first movie when it came out on DVD and then read SS-GoF Fall 2001. I instantly fell in love with them.

I waited in line at Midnight that Summer and got OotP. I immediately loathed Umbridge and wanted to strangle her. Then she killed Sirius almost as a footnote. (Thus why this is my least favorite book.) I almost threw the book then and there, but was too shocked.

Then we got HBP in 2005. I had mentally prepared myself for Dumbledore to die so I took that ok. But the funeral and the ending …my husband said I was curled up in bed hitting the book go “No!No!No!” I don’t remember, but in my defense I also had not slept for 48 hours.

Now on to DH- the thing that would make me the most upset is if Lupin dies. He is the true last link to Harry’s parents and one of my favorite characters. If JKR kills him she might as well kill Harry too. ..but since I see Harry making it :-)

Since I’ve turned this into a HP death post…

I do see a Weasley dying. I don’t see how they can all survive. Percy would be the best to die…then maybe Charlie :-S Anyone else would be unbearable, especially Ginny or Ron. Molly will live because she is like a mum to Harry and to take that from Harry would be cruel.

Wormtail will die saving Harry. And of course Voldy will get it in the end. I see a couple of Order members dying too. Not brave enough to predict that though…

So who do you think will die, and what would make you throw and not finish reading DH?

I recently read a post asking for good Hermione moments in the films. The more I think about the it, the more I realize I really hate Hermione in the films. I don't know what it is about her; she just annoys me to no end. Could be the super!hermione and taking over POA...could be stealing all of the Weasley's lines (although, I know that is the writer, not her, but still)

Anyway, to the point of this post. I want to open up a discussion.

Why do you like/dislike Hermione? Do you like her better in the movie or books? What are your favorite Hermione moments (book and/or movie)?

I used the time that lj was down yesterday to finish up things on my site. I’ve added some of the fandoms to the site already. Star Wars, CSI, Firefly, Serenity, X-Men (comic), Final Fantasy (game) are among those that are already up. Let me know if there is one that you would like to see there and I will add it.

The Harry Potter category also has a new sub-category. Ships. Yes, I am still an all out H/G shipper, but we are now accepting all ships there…maybe even Snape/Hermione just for you, sarahetc…Maybe I should add a ‘ships category for Firefly/Serenity too. ;-) (I do plan on adding a Firefly skin soon)

and JP...you are the best. Thanks for the banner! *back to work*

I've been listening to POA and remebered a fan-fic that was POA from Lupin's pov. I want to try and find it again but can't remember the name or author. I think it was on PS...can anyone help?

Remember me saying I had a couple of projects coming up? Well…It is time to unveil them!

( Drum Roll, Please... )

I was bored and made a hand full of Halloween icons. They are over at a multimedia journal I started which has some of the older things I made before I got a cool computer so some may be really bad! (You've been warned)

Feel free to friend it as I will post all icons, etc. over there now and will not link to them from my private journal.

I have been talking with some friends about the future of fan fiction...Do you see HP fanfiction fading out after book 7? if not, what do you think the future of it will be?

Stolen from reallycorking--a meme!

How well do I know my friends Icons.

I would like you to do an anonymous comment with your icon in the text.

All I ask is if you do it...don't do something that is unyou.
