Revenge of the D/E Shippers! EDIT: Ahem, sorry. |

"Besides, if HP Cornfield REALLY hate you, then you must be doing something right" Thanks to ![[info]](http://www.journalfen.net/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} sheep who first found a lot of these posts. It's the semi-regular Lysette/Lissy report! As an aside, she's discovered HP_Cornfield. But don't worry about hurt feelings. She's boasting about it to the "Can't Stand Teh Holy Defenderzz' thread. "Besides, if HP Cornfield REALLY hate you, then you must be doing something right".Probably the most outrageous comparison this time around. R/Hr shippers bashing H/Hr shippers are like Fred Phelps at a soldier's funeral. Repeatedly coming in to defend Teh Holy Defenderzz on a Can't Stand Teh Holy Defenderzz Thread is OFF TOPIC, but I guess they figure they can't "Save" the Unwashed Heathen Disgruntled Fans if they don't force their way on Disgruntled Threads because it is not like the Unwashed Heathen will come on their threads. Can't convert them if they can't force them to see the error of their ways. They are rather like those idiots from Kansas that go around protesting Gays at the funerals of Service Men who were killed in Iraq. What one has to do with the other I do not know, aside from they get on the News for it. They and their message are UNWANTED and totally inappropriate. One Father sued them because they disrupted his son's funeral and won, although last I heard, the Church involved is refusing to pay the damages. Figures. ( In other news, Harry Potter is like Winston Churchill (in a bad way), Ugly Betty, Bridget Jones' Diary, and a Lifetime movie Lysette saw on TV last night, but Rowling isn't like Margaret Mitchell who got hit by a car. ) |

Okay, so as most of you likely know, JKR wrote a little book of fairy tales called "The Tales of Beedle The Bard." It's handwritten, there are only seven copies in existence, and Amazon.com bought one at auction for roughly four million American dollars. They've put photos and reviews up on their site, but the real joy is in the public discussions at the foot of the page. Here's a comma-ridden taste from a thread entitled 'PATHETIC'. Clearly, Mr. Chapman, had you read the books, you'd know, that no one, was actually, turned into a toadstool. Perhaps, if you'd referred to Mr. Draco Malfoy's transfigurement into a weasel, then, your snide words, might have held more credence. Enjoy your bitterness. With 60 threads and counting, it's going to be good and it's going to last forever. |

"You don't know the history of the Third Reich! I do!" Back in August, Lissy/Lysette ran into a spot of trouble with the old Harry Potter/Hitler comparisons. For your amusement. Lissy: I tend to view the Post Voldemort Wizarding World as a cross between thirties Germany under Chancellor Hitler, when undesirables were already starting to disappear, and Salem under Cotton Matther, where certain people were Born Evil, and needed to be rooted out and destroyed for the good of the whole. Matther had the right to decide who was worthy to live, and who was not. Only HIS opinion Mattered. I hope Harry doesn't mind that Dumbledore deemed him as Not Worthy. On the other hand, Ronald Weasley is the Poster Boy for the New World Order. The Fourth Reich.( I bet I know far more about what it was like 'on the Ground' so to speak living in Hitler's Germany prior to the invasion of Poland in '38 than you think. ) |

A sporked version of this wank is available at The H.M.S. STFU. Though I suppose, technically, it should be just "H.M.S. STFU", since it otherwise works out to "The Her Majesty's Ship STFU", but... then again, without the "the" it sounds wrong. Now, see, that's over-analysing. However, not quite so much as today's crank does: D.I.A.T.S.S.I.S.E., or QWERTYUIOP, as I shall refer to it, is a crank theory from before Deathly Hallows which, when proven wrong, sent its author into a rant of epic proportions. Basically, it says that Dumbledore Impersonated A Trustworthy Severus Snape In Spinner's End - or QWERTYUIOP. This was the grand solution to all the mysteries of the Harry Potter series. As he explained: To solve a mystery, most mystery genre fans know you have to use logic and deductive reasoning. What is logical to the fantasy genre fans is illogical in real life. I believe J. K Rowling is about to end the series in a logical, reasonable manner. ...a logical, reasonable manner which involves Dumbledore randomly impersonating Snape and agreeing to kill himself. But then, I'm a fantasy genre fan, and, according to him: The Harry Potter fantasy genre fans believe the plot of Half Blood Prince has Dumbledore, the most intelligent wizard ever born, assign to a 17 yr. old teenager the almost impossible job of saving the world alone with no backup or support. Just think how illogical that conclusion is, but the fantasy genre fans tell you that was the plot of Half Blood Prince. They tell you it is logical for Dumbledore to have assigned this task to Harry Potter, and that the plot of Deathly Hallows will simply be about how this unqualified teenager finds the horcruxes, gets past their protection, destroys them, and then locates and kills the most evil and powerful wizard of all times. What a stupid idiot plot. I hope J. K. Rowling doesn't insult my intelligence with such an idiot plot. Examples of the errors of the logic of the fantasy genre fans is given throughout this site.

Harmonians: Still Oppressed, part CXIV in an ongoing series Over in the comments of the latest lj_biz post, usofbs posts a comic comment (Note: comic is NSFW, as one of its panels has a banned Snarry pic) explaining how LJ could possibly have decided to delete a few more journals lately. So why am I posting about this here? Because the comic blames it all on the Harmonians! OH NOEZ! Cue Logansrogue losing her shit in futher comments: ( Cut for tl;dr ) When told to chill, because it was just a joke, Logansrogue and other Harmonians chime in with: "But it wasn't funny! If it has been funny, I'd be laughing right along with you! Srsly!" Right. Sure. Current Mood: Fan-Fucking-tastic |

Ah-ha! There really is a different version of DH around! Lysette (Lissy) on the FAP ARGH thread: http://forums.fictionalley.org/park/sho What do you all think of Harry picturing Ginny in a wedding gown getting married to another guy? As IF! Harry was just proving what a little sod he is. Gin-Bot doesn't breathe without his permission. If she did, he would lock her back in her Tower until she got with the program. I think DH!Harry despises weakness. He might have told Ron he liked her because she was tough from having six brothers, but Harry is always disgusted and ignores her whenever Bot shows a sign of weakness or emotion at all. That was why he was disgusted with Hermione, so it would carry over to the Bot. What was he going to tell his best friend, "The ONLY reason I like your sister is that she puts out." Even RON would slug him over that. Good thing Lavender didn't have any brothers when Ron, as we now know, had to punish Hermione repeated over something that happened two years ago. I would have loved it, if Harry informed Ronald that the ONLY reason he liked Ron's sister was because she is easy! I figure Ron would whine and blister and run away. That is another advantage with Ginny, Ron is afraid of Harry, so it is not like Ronald is going to Do Anything, no matter how insulting Harry is towards Ginny's Honor. Besides, Molly wants them married, so told Ronald that if he did anything to jeopardized Ginny's chances, then he had better NEVER try to come back to the Burrow. Molly is mercenary. Molly is the Mom in Reba's song, "Fancy." "You be Nice to Harry, Ginny, and he will take care of you.' Only that Mom wanted her daughter to live, and couldn't see any other way. (bold mine) It's one thing to "interpret" the text differently from others, but when you start making crap up to fit your worldview... |

Classy! Hello Harmonians, the idea behind Project Harmony is that we pull off a full page ad (maybe even more) in a magazine to finally be able to speak up and let JKR know how we feel. I've done a similar project for another couple before and it got a reaction from producers and the actors. I wasn't in charge of it, but I hope we can all work together to figure this out. God knows we won't change this horrible ending for Harry and Hermione, but I think it's time we speak up, not only to tell JK how we feel, but also to honor H/Hr and let the world know that we're still out there and we're not going anywhere. ...Yep, it's time for another Harmonian project to tell JKR how they feel! Just like the other great projects... that never really got pulled off. ( One very minor spoiler ) ETA: harryandhermione85 writes: I agree that we shall not seem whiny, and that we shall not give Emerson any satisfying. But we have to point out she offended us with her behaviour, and that we are proud to be "delusional". Of course, it's more accurate with an ellipsis: I agree that we shall not seem whiny... and that we are proud to be "delusional". |

I shouldn't even need to point this out at this moment but. YES. WE ARE SPOILER FULL OVER HERE. I'd prefer stuff to go behind cuts but, honestly, we're all over the wank, and trying to keep us spoiler-free would require attention span and sobriety which I just don't always have. So, if you're going totally spoiler-free, it'd probably be best to defriend and not read this comm for a while. Carry on. Current Music: Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness |

Publisher and Author Wank! http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20070719/us_n In an extraordinarily bad analogy, a Bloomsbury representative compares the breaking of the HP release/review embargo by American newspapers and suppliers to the Boston Tea Party. General reaction: OH HELL NO. (Possible spoilers in link.) We foolishly thought only the internets were in danger, but...could the Potterdammerung result in the next Revolutionary War? |

Yes, Jo is laughing at you. I guess we should start a post about the (edit) confirmed REAL epilogue going around. SPOILERS and NON-STOP WHINING in the links. ONTD_trash: Scans in the comments. spoil_me_dh: Your writing is shit, Jo! Edit: News sites are talking about the leak now and there's a locked post on spoil_me_dh where the book was scanned showing the dust jacket, colored hard bookcover, copyrights, title and dedications pages. Unless someone decided to fake all that as well as 700+ pages, the leak is real. Edit^2: A mousy pointed out there is a new lj community: its_a_fake. Edit^3: There's a plan of mass suicide on JKR's lawn if she doesn't write Edit^4: A mousy pointed out there's a new picture of the book going around with a certain lj community in the background. Another blow for the FAKE side. |

OOTP? Is there any more wank over the Movie? Or is everyone too busy wanking about DH? I thought for sure that there would be a wankfest over the changes made to the story. Namely the Harry/Hermione scenes. |

Mod Post Just to cover the important bits before the big day starts to arrive: 1. We're still taking H/Hr wank after the Potterdamerung. 2. If problems arise at any point soon, my e-mail is available from my JF userinfo 3. If H/Hr really DOES happen in the last book, I'm fully willing to turn this boat around and use this place to mock the OBHWF shippers, assuming any of you lot act as crazy as the Harmonians did. Any questions/comments/issues/concerns/cute pictures of baby rodents? Current Music: Manic Street Preachers - A Song For Departure |

PK--full of sound and fury signifying spoilers If you haven't guessed, there are going to be possible spoilers for DH in this post. Mainly because Portkey's shipping spoilers thread is flying through the pages with everybody talking about the spoilers. So, you know, there might be DH SPOILERS. I, of course, cannot comment on the reality of these spoilers (who can?) but if you're avoiding them then this post might not be for you. ( Grab your wading boots, kids... ) And so it continues. Again, over 100 people on that thread alone and it's moving FAST. It updated fifteen pages WHILE I WROTE THIS. I'll ETA as needed, I guess. ETA: Is needed. They've gone and maxed out the thread and are six pages onto a new one. Find the new thread here. Lookit all the fishies in the barrel... ETA: Is not needed. Except...remember the wank that got deleted because of the underage poster? Well: I think it's a well-orchestrated hoax perpetrated to get revenge for the person who posted all the H/Hr spoilers a few days back, which NAPPA had to clean off the forums. They were all over the place and I feel certain that the person's admission of guilt really made some Herons angry. LOL! 'Fess up, you bastards! ETA: Removing troll bait. The SPORFLE!ETA: Do we all recall how the spoiler people were treated? Questions? Demands? Sarcasm and disbelief? Well a flyby poster named Marty shows up and says 'I know for a fact that the chapter list is real! but the rest is sour grapes! it's all H/Hr!' and everybody reacts the same way! Oh, wait, no they don't. They accept Marty and his information with open arms! Of course they were right all along! See the third thread for the lulz. The Slightly More Important ETA: The orginal Source of the spoilers has apparently deleted her LJ. I'm asking people who 'know' the source to not discuss the person. If she has real information, I'd rather protect her than out her. The internet is for being anonymous. The Final ETA: Forums are now password protected (dh) and that means, sadly, that you must be a member to get in and see the lulz. But the lulz are pretty much over. Current Mood: *sporfle!* |

Everbody into the boat; the flood is starting early. D: Anybody who wanks that energetically has to be underage. My thanks, still, to shallow_kid for the amusement and to sheep for the truly magnificent save. Thanks also to LJ's Tartanboxers for hosting it for us while it lasted.You're all welcome to stay in the boat for the next two weeks. Current Mood: Guilty |

I'll take 'Words that start with D' for 600, Alex Apparently Emerson isn’t receiving as much hatemail and fangirling as he’d like these days. Earlier he made a post on Mugglenet to help rectify the situation: ( Speculation, speculation ) Naturally everyone’s taking his comments very well! However, it’s not the Harmonians that are winning the wank trophy this time, it’s the Good Shippers and some random Olbermann bashers. Over 350 comments so far. ( Read more... ) He's loving this, isn't he? |

It's been quiet here ... too quiet Emma Watson recently had an interview, in which she said: Now it is clear to everybody that it is not just friendship between them. Everybody except them, of course. It is so typical, girls tend to end up with those guys who most annoy them, who most get them angry, who most behave horribly. Ron acts exactly like this towards Hermione. But their relationship will develop somehow, sooner or later. They will become a couple, I’m sure. Ron amuses her, which is what Hermione needs. And she keeps him in line. A perfect couple. Oh no she didn't! (Yes, I realized that Portkey wank is not like shooting fish in a barrel but pouring the barrel of fish out on the ground and jumping on them, but still. One of the actors gave a ship preference homgz11!!!11!!!) ( LOL ILLITERATE ) Et la piece de resistance, Black Agnes again. Bolds mine. I certainly hope you're right about this. This "cultural slide" away from the romantic ideal of love perfected by Jane Austen has been going on for such a long time. The 1960s and Cosmopolitan magazine and the sexual revolution and media bubblegum for the eyes have all shaped the values of a couple of generations. The pace of life itself has quickened radically from a "long way" being walking three miles from the Bennet house to Netherfield. Instant, visual media must "grab" attention with flashy, superficiality or get lost in the flood of images. My dad was in television for 40 years (from its inception until he retired in the '80s), and he always bemoaned the slippage of storytelling itself. Rather than carefully telling (i.e., revealing artfully) a story, television and film began to rely more and more heavily on flash to cover up the lack of substance. And our media-influenced society is shaped dramatically by this hit-and-run (or "slam, bam, thank you, ma'am" if you prefer) approach. Even books geared for children and young adults began to slide away from well-told stories of wonder that transcended the ordinary (think Chronicles of Narnia, The Secret Garden, even Huckleberry Finn) to garbage (my opinion) about super-ordinary people being super-ordinary in a post-modern, minimalist world. Not to ding ordinary people as subjects of books, but literature and all storytelling should take you somewhere you haven't been on your own. That could be Narnia...or that could be a different state of being. Just don't gave me Judy Blume! Her books could just be creative non-fiction textbooks on being ordinary. When HP came out, it represented a welcome departure back to storytelling. Clearly, JKR relishes the art of the well-told story, the slow reveal, the clue-dropping and foreshadowing, the smokecreens...oh, all the things we love in an edge-of-the-seat movie or book or play. Look at us...we're sitting on the edge of the seat right now, and isn't that amazing? She has given us indictments of bigotry, greed, selfishness, etc., the things that plague society (and always have.) I have faith that the slow pace of character development and plot in HP bodes well for further indictments of the "slam, bam, thank you, ma'am" approach. She has said she wants to show people falling in love...and falling in love the good old fashioned way that we love means seeing beyond the surface. Beauty comes from within, not from some ideal thrown up for 15 seconds on a music video. I think Ron's quote in HBP about Luna is really revealing--he is really beginning to like her. In a rare moment of reflection, he is seeing beyond the wacky and into the delightful side of this girl. Of course he really does love Hermione, but he seems to be well on the path of falling in love with Luna. Her beauty is in slow reflection and in peeling away the surface. And JKR said it is important for us to see characters fall in love...and I think she means really fall in love over time, in the slow reveal of the classically told tale. Love is not a chest monster that comes roaring down the line; love is Emma going, "oh, OH, OHHHH! Maybe I blew it...it was Knightley all the time, and I took him for granted." The denouement will be swift, but the build up has taken forever. This is good storytelling. And I trust JKR to deliver. |
