[10 Jun 2004|02:23pm] teratologist I've tried to google, but I'm useless. Does anyone know where one can find the British penal code as it would have stood in the 1970's? I want to figure out what James' or Sirius's rap sheet would look like if either ever actually been held accountable for his dickheadedness.... simple assault and criminal indecency seem obvious, but is tossing someone in with a dangerous beastie attempted murder, or 'merely' aggravated assault if one can't prove intent? Anyway, if they'd been modern Germans they'd have gone to jail... 5 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

New member, oh yes. [08 Jun 2004|04:10pm] pedantic_celia [ mood | Slytherin. ] Before taking a break from the Potter fandom for a couple of months (long, boring irrational story), I had ranted at length about the Maurauders and their crappy behaviour. I'm a bit calmer about it now (I tend to steer clear of the Maurauder fanboards and keep to communities like this, for my own personal sanity) but there are still a couple of things that bothered me. ( Cut. ) 21 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

[03 Apr 2004|05:11pm] ataniell93 [ mood | irritated ] I'm not exactly pimping http://www.livejournal.com/community/yearofthesnake, because it's a private RPG and they're not accepting any apps at all. I just thought some of you might be amused by reading it. You see, it's a MWPP era storyline, and three of the four Marauders are played by members of this community, including yours truly as potted_james. Which means you're not getting the idealised fanon versions. Also, it's the only MWPP-era anything I've ever seen where the people involved remember that canonically, the late 70's were dire times and that Voldemort had all but completely won by the time little Harry was born. 7 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

We don't like you, we just want to try you... [08 Jan 2004|10:56pm] shoiryu [ mood | distressed ] [ music | Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, "Stop" ] Hi there. I was encouraged to join here. (And to post this rant!) I love the Marauders. I'm a big Sirius Black fangirl, and I ship Sirius/Remus. I get terribly happy whenever Sirius or Remus pops up in the books, and I've been known to squeal a little. However, I like them as they are. Not as the perfect, flawless, "OMGSOSEXY" icons that the fandom's created. I like Sirius Black. I like him as an insecure, bullying ass who can't decided whether he's living in the past or the present, who expects his dead best friend's kid to be just like his daddy, who can't cope with not getting things just the way he wants 'em. I like Remus Lupin. I like him as the quiet guy who KNOWS what his friends do is wrong but just doesn't have it in 'im to say so. I like James Potter. I like that he's arrogant and kind of a bully. I like that we've got protagonists who have these issues. I LIKE that these are our "good guys". I like that Sirius died because of his own arrogance. Sure, I'm disappointed that he's gone, because I won't get to see him in the future books, continuing to nance around with his issues and his ego, but you know, it's not /my/ story. It's Rowling's. Of course, I've borrowed a few of her characters, and they hang out over in my head a lot, but I'm not claiming ownership. And I'm certainly not going to get upset at /her/ for what's happening to them. Which brings me to another point. Sometimes it's inevitable. Sometimes a character just /has to die/, no matter how much you like them. I have personal experience with this. Taiken of Aerydath? Splat, bye-bye soul. Lance of Esgoth? Whoosh! He's a martyr! Roe Kannon? BANG! Messy, unpleasant death. Half my SOF agents, blown sky high. It makes me sad, sure, but sometimes it's just inevitable. Stop wishing Padfoot home. Stop ripping page 806 out of your books. This is not Sirius Black's story, it's Harry Potter's. And a good character is never perfect. 8 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

An interesting post on LJ's hated character community [06 Jan 2004|08:00pm] pyratejenni [ music | Hissing of the radiator ] Am annoyed. Very annoyed. 1 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

Newbie with question [04 Jan 2004|02:25pm] iczer6 [ mood | dirty ] Icz here from F_W, it's nice to see that there are others who feel the Marauders DON'T walk on water. I do have a question, in the Snape Incident why do you think James and Sirius weren't expelled? Really, favoritisim can only go so far, and I can't see a teacher like McGongall willingly letting those two off the hook. 13 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

Evil!Dumbledore speculation - Extended Supersize Edition [23 Nov 2003|10:59pm] teratologist [ mood | jubilant ] [ music | Billie Holliday ] I think that this contains enough about James to bring it ontopic, if not feel free to smack me. ( Disclaimer: I'm not nuts enough to imagine that this is where JK intends to go with the canon; it's all me taking some of my speculation about the gaps in the stories to a logical(?) extreme.... ) So, is this normal NaNoWriMo craziness, or has someone slipped crack in my coffee? 3 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

Argh...must...resist... [13 Nov 2003|01:24am] fandom_bitch [ mood | bored ] Gary Oldman playing Sirius Black may actually make me LIKE the character. Must...resist...urge...argh! 6 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

Evidence. [04 Nov 2003|07:52pm] wolfie_thu [ mood | Vindicated ] [ music | If yer happy and you know it clap yer hands. ] Anyone else slightly tired with James and Sirius defenders arguing that what Harry viewed in the Pensieve was biased or changed in some way? (even though Sirus and Lupin confirm that that was what actually happened, and I doubt that Snape would try to make himself appear more of a victim, etc.) Well, I believe I have found some proof of the Pensieve's objectivity. Observe, if you will, this quote from chapter thirty-seven of OotP (I'd give the page number but I'm currently using an online copy of the book as reference). Dumbledore is explaining the prophecy to Harry: 'The thing that smashed was merely the record of the prophecy kept by the Department of Mysteries. But the prophecy was made to somebody, and that person has the means of recalling it perfectly.' (emphasis mine) Dumbledore then goes and gets the Pensieve(it is mentioned that it is the same one that Snape used), and places in it the memory of Trelawney making the prediction. If I am reading this correctly, it would appear as though Dumbledore himself is saying that the Pensieve is objective, and shows you what exactly happened at the time of the memory. And that's my evidence. What do you all think, hm? P.S. To the moderator: I hope that my post is not against the rules of this community. If it is, feel free to delete it. P.P.S. The next person who says that Snape is so horrible because he made James bleed while James himself only completely humiliated and treated him as though he was not human, shall be kicked in the shin by me. P.P.P.S. And now I will shutup so as to avoid becoming an even bigger wanker. 9 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

Fic rec and JF codes... [16 Oct 2003|08:45pm] jailbait [ mood | drunk ] A fic for this community :D (Don't know if this qualifies as rec, as is just pretty much just a link) Sans Merci by Predatrix Author Notes: This is a story imagining a possible childhood for Snape. Then, while I was writing it, OOTP came out. After a while, this gave me an interesting idea. It is also a story about sexual discovery and seduction. This story has been sort-of up for a few days as I tried to work in the suggestions of the last beta. It's finished now (I hope). Pairing: SS/LM Warning: OOTP spoilers all over the place, don't read unless you've read the book. Warning: Severe verbal domination/submission/humiliation. Warning: Chan (underage). Warning: Rather sadder than most of my stories. Am going to do a more cheerful sequel, as I feel sorry for the little bastard now. Rating: NC17 Posted: 01/08/03 --------------- And for the community I have 3 JF codes up for grabs (Dana?) Just leave a comment with your email here. [edit] I forgot. Leave also your date of birth, age and fandom (HP duh!) :) [edit 2] Just a fic rec, NOT my fic :D *wishing I could write like that* 9 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

Dumbledore's role as the Marauders' Enabler [10 Oct 2003|09:43pm] ataniell93 [ mood | jealous ] Sooooooooooooooo. Why do YOU think the malicious, deceitful SOB beloved head master of Hogwarts permitted the Marauders to get away with so much? And how much responsibility does he bear for the resentments of the Slytherins, which certainly fueled their willingness to follow Voldemort? Does anyone think that the Marauders, and others like them who were favored by Albus, did as much to recruit for the Death Eater cause as Bad Tommy himself may have done? 16 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

That Other Black [05 Oct 2003|11:13am] teratologist [ music | purring ] Regulus Black. An "idiot", and "soft", according to our favorite dead dog. Of course, when someone like Sirius says 'soft' that means that you either care more about other people's feelings or less about Quidditch than he does, or maybe you show emotions, and 'idiot' just means doing things that Sirius disagrees with. Regulus's story is the first confirmation that we've had that joining the Death Eaters during the Marauders era wouldn't necessarily be a sign of rampant monomania and sheer evil, but simply of bad judgment, inborn prejudice, and maybe some family pressure. How much younger was he than Sirius? We don't know (or at least I can't find it in a quick sweep through the House of Black) but he died fifteen years ago; around the time Harry was born, ergo when the Marauders were 21. So he died quite young. He also died a year before Severus started teaching at Hogwarts He obviously parallels Snape in that both tried to get out. Did the fact that Snape more or less succeeded while Regulus got killed contribute to Sirius's hatred of the latter? After all, this was his kid brother even if they were estranged, and the language that he uses talking about Regulus is not as harsh as the way he describes his mother, certainly. Finally, presumably he wasn't more than seven years younger than Sirius; that would imply that he was a full-fledged and dead Death Eater by fourteen, which seems unlikely (though I suppose not impossible.) So his time at Hogwarts would have overlapped with the Marauders, and Snape. Did he get sucked into the crowd that 'almost all turned out to be Death Eaters' because he, like some of them, had been on the wrong end of Sirius's sense of 'fun' one too many times, as well as because of the rhetoric he heard at home? So much to ponder. (crossposted to my own journalfen) 5 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

New... with Notes [04 Oct 2003|02:47pm] leahthegreat Just joined, and I'm usually over on livejournal. But I joined for F_W. Anyway... until I found this community I was wondering if I was all alone in the Anti-Marauder's Cause. Most of the time on fanfiction.net you find happy little James/Lily stories, in which Sirius, James, and Remus are happy charming fellows and Peter is relatively non-existant. Lily (and usually another friend, a potential Remus or Sirius love interest) become friends with the Marauder's, and encounter horrible problems like Snape, Lucius, and stuff like that. It's annoying and stupid. Sirius and James were honestly the jerks you love to hate in high school. There's a group exactly like the Marauder's at my school. I call them the Punk Rawk group. They're cliquey, hang out at one side of the schoolyard, and generally give you nasty looks if you get within ten feet of them. In all fics, Sirius is portrayed as this "totally hawt" rebel without a cause. (No one will ever be James Dean. Ever.) Remus is the smart, geeky cute guy. And Peter is the "other guy". Sometimes not even mentioned. I've always found James and Co. (including Lily) to be annoying. Sometimes I don't even know the reason. But I felt a bit of happiness when Siris died, as the Mary Sues will now be gone. I know that rant did not make much sense, and for that I apologize. It's been a long day. --Leah 10 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

Question for discussion [29 Sep 2003|12:42pm] ataniell93 [ mood | energetic ] Soooooooooooooooo. Why do you think Lily married James? 19 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone

Welcome to the party! [28 Sep 2003|11:47pm] ataniell93 [ mood | Catty ] Welcome to deaddogparty, the Anti-Marauders JF community. Are you as sick as I am of the "Padfoot Forever" icons? Do you ever just want to shout out, "Deal with it, he's dead and he's not coming back!" You're in good company. Let's face it, we all went to school with them. There's the handsome, smart boy who's good at everything but being human. The bad boy who thinks having long hair and a fancy bike is enough to make him cool. The nice boy who's decent enough on his own, but doesn't have the gumption to stand up to his fuckwit friends. And the sycophant who'll do anything to be seen with them, until of course someone cooler and more powerful comes along. And let's just not forget the girl we think is so tough and cool because she dares to stand up to them...until a few months later when we find out she's fucking one of them. An early death is the best thing that can happen to some of these people, because twenty years later they're still reliving the past. People like this brought us Columbine. Discuss. 44 will STAY behind the veil| dig up a bone
