So guess what.

On the train trip this weekend, I reread Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

I laughed aloud at a few of the parts and got a little nostalgic at some of the others (mostly at the snowballs enchanted to bash Quirrel's turban repeatedly). It was fun, so next, on to Chamber of Secrets when I'm not killing Darkspawn in Dragon Age (yes, I have a favorite character and you probably know exactly who it is) or writing for 100wordstories or working on ineedmyfics or hanging around in-character at outpost_12 or milliways_bar.

hfleming8, I'll wait for you if you want to read along with me.

I thought about this first on the way back from London, after meeting up with janeylou, finally. But I didn't have any of the books with me, so... now I do. I've slowly started moving my HP fanfic over to Archive of our Own. I started with Black Dog (Sirius and James) and the second one is Adventures in Curse-Breaking (Bill Weasley). I realize it's all the rage these days to write next-gen HP stuff and that this older stuff is looked on a little bit like people look on someone way behind the times: with a little bit of sad indulgent fondness. But I really don't give a shit. I don't see myself writing a lot more HP fanfic, if any, but it doesn't mean I can't appreciate the stuff I've already written.
