In honor of the 20th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, we did the impossible and summed up 95 characters in one sentence each, creating the greatest masterpiece of the 21st century. Click here to see it, and then take a few minutes to thank the universe for giving us the brilliant J.K. Rowling, who changed all our lives with her beautiful, hilarious, heartbreaking, magical books.

Seems quite sweet, but in Wizarding Britain, one may assume that dental health charms can be easily managed?

Posting Delay

If you’re here wondering what happened to EPILOGUE (H/H/N) on FFn, please be advised that I’m on vacation and have been going hither and yon in the land of Family Stuff. I am trying to write and am indeed well into the next chapter and HOPE to get it out as soon as I finish it. 

Sorry for the delay - It’s been over a week and I know *I* am getting anxious! lol

Poll: Fictional Crushes

Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character? 

If so:

Was this strictly a childhood thing for you?

Were you long and faithfully loyal to this fictional crush or were you fictionally fickle? 

Are you willing to share either your First Fictional Crush or Best Fictional Crush or Weirdest Fictional Crush?

As for me:

I totally had crushes on fictional characters. I think I was poly-involved, as I can crush on fictional folk simultaneously. I say this as a woman who has been happily, monogamously married for more than a quarter of a century. My husband knows I get way too involved with imaginary people and he’s okay with that. After all, I write romances. Heh. 

First Fictional Crush for me had to be the Scarecrow in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz when I was eight years old. 

Best? I don’t know if I had a best, but one of my favorite crushes was Gilbert Blythe in the Anne of Green Gables series. (And Jonathan Crombie, may he ret in peace, was a wonderful Gilbert!)

Weirdest? Isn’t having a crush on a scarecrow weird? :) 

My thanks to reader mhcalamas who got me thinking on this today.

Harry Potter & Luna Lovegood

“That’s right, Harry… come on, think of something happy…” “Something happy?” he said, his voice cracked. “We’re all still here,” she whispered, “we’re still fighting. Come on, now…” There was a silver spark, then a wavering light, and then, with the greatest effort it had ever cost him, the stag burst from the end of Harry’s wand.

My fave AUs often involve Sirius (and Remus) raising Harry from the get-go. I love this sooooo much.

MWPP IN 1978

this won the patreon poll! :)   MWPP post-Hogwarts when they were happy. (Want to choose what I draw? That’s where to do it!)

plus Lily, Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadowes.

So for inspiration for fashion, I tend to just think back to icons and shows of that time- this would be around 1978. And yes, I headcanon Sirius was a dirty smoker back in the day. :P

SO!

Inspirations for fashion:

Movie ‘What’s Up Doc’

Lily -Farrah Fawcett

Peter - Rob Reiner in 'All in the Family’

James- Mork and Mindy :P

Marlene McKinnon- mix of a lot of the rock singing gals of this time

Dorcas Meadowes- charlie’s angels and portrayal in 

Marlene and Dorcas are also super influenced by @asktheboywholived and @sirussly continued representations of those two.
