Getting a bit silly, here's a list of things I refuse to include in
any story I write.

QUIDDITCH!! This is simple. Harry's learned he's got a evil dark lord
out to kill him. Well gee, play quidditch or learn to defend myself.
Tough choice eh? Seriously though, far too many authors hit a
stumbling block so instead of advancing the story they throw a
quidditch game into the story. Now that I've read literally hundreds
of games I refuse put much of a reference to quidditch in our stories.
Games are usually mentioned in a sentence or two.

Ickle - Seriously where the hell did this word come from and do the
British really use it without realizing how silly they sound? Ickle
Ronniekins, Ickle Harrykins, Ickle Albuskins, Icklesmickle. I won't
use it.

Relationships you won't see. Any Teacher with a student. Thats just
wrong. Personally I'd hook Snape up with a hungarian horntail but my
wife likes him. I had to fight with her to go with an evil snape for
this story. She doesn't see snape, she sees some actor named alan
rickman... yawn!

And while I'm at it, here's a pet peeve you won't see in our files
relating to SEX! Yes, thats right sex!

You can tell an author has no clue about sex when (a) the girl loses
her virginity and experiences a massive orgasm on her first time (This
is more a male teenage fantasy than a reality although it can happen),
and (b) manages positions which would break the bones on a
contortionist. First times are rarely pleasant even when you have a
comfortable position let alone having Hermione or Ginny performing a
double flip full gainer with a half twist to impale herself on some guy.

Maybe there should be a law that says you should have a little bit of
experience on the subject before you write about sex?

Ok, I'm done blowing off steam, and going back to writing again. :D

I agree with you on the Quidditch thing. but Harry
needs a medium of relaxation. Most auhthors use
Quidditch, you used smething else... walks with
Giny... sitting by the fire... in SoB there is
Hermione and their training, and the time at the
pool....

When's the next chapter coming out?

*is preparing the house for the arrival of the next
chapter*

Yay! It would be great if you guys had three or four
chapters written, so we'd get a regular update, but
I'm happy this way too.

Oh, something that bugs me. Bob, why do you put your
replies at the bottom of messages? Y! automatically
puts the cursor at the top of all other messages. Or
is there an option to change that?

Tell that to JKR <g> -- though she has said that she's written her
last Quidditch match. Of course, it should be remembered that stories
set at Hogwarts really have to mention Quidditch unless something
like the Tri-Wizard Tournament takes its place, even if it's only
having Harry give up his place on the Gryffindor team or letting
Umbitch's ban stand, and then you have to deal with other people's
reactions. The game is an important part of school life and Harry is
a prominent player, so a "normal" school year has to include it; of
course, it helps if it can be used to advance the plot somehow.

Are you serious here? Assuming that you're not being sarcastic (which
seems more likely), then all I can say is that that's the whole point
of using the words, ickle Bobbimins (sorry... ;-)). Of course it
sounds silly; it's a baby-talk word, the kind of thing used by idiots
who think it's all cutesy-wutesy to talk like that to small children -
- most of whom would happily hex the patronising twits if they only
could. In the HP context, it's used by people like Lestrange and the
Weasley twins as a put-down and to annoy their targets. Do I need to
tell you that it's a baby-talk corruption of "little"?

Relationships you won't see. Any Teacher with a student. That's

but my wife likes him. I had to fight with her to go with an evil

Yeah, women are weird that way. Snape and the Ferret should be killed
painfully and humiliatingly, preferably in public. They have no
redeeming features and I cannot understand why any sane person would
like them. Death to Ferrets and Slythergits!

And while I'm at it, here's a pet peeve you won't see in our files

Your choice. Even romances don't need sex to be good.

[Snip rant about typical sex scenes]

Well, to each their own -- though I do twitch a bit when an author
rambles on about the girl/woman "impaling" herself on the male. Gues
I know too much Eastern European folklore to appreciate that the way
the writer intended...

Phil, who has three Quidditch matches in his current WIP, but they
all have plot points involved in them -- which is more than JKR can
say about HBP

Phil, as a resident of Romania, who was once under the
rule of Vlad the Impaler, I'll have you know that he
only impaled thieves and crooks. And the crime rate
was zero during his rule. His ruthlessness had a lot
to do with that too.

Now, I don't know about the impaling going on in his
bedroom, but he was a healthy man, and he left heirs.

-Crs, who has only written about Qudditch in passing,
even when his main character was the captain.

Both, I would say -- or so I take "you two" to mean.

Anyway, have a look here for my HP stuff:



The first one is probably the better of the two, since it has the WIP I
mentioned in my last post.

Thanks for the interest.
