The new Harry Potter Book
Feb. 1st, 2007 10:05 amAs most of you know, I'm a huge Harry Potter fan. My first forays into writing erotica were Potter fanfic, and although I've moved away from that genre, the boy who lived holds a very special place in my heart. The last book is slated to be published July 21, and I'm trying to decide if I will purchase the deluxe edition by Scholastic. I KNOW I'll be buying the hardback in any case, I do NOT have the patience to wait for paperback on this book.
I will cry when it's over, because I don't want it to end. This is the story that brought me back to life again - for the first time I was mature enough to understand why I hated to see a good story end, and free enough to take the step toward finding a place for myself within the story, then within the Harry Potter community, and finally here on LiveJournal and further into the world. My love for Harry Potter gave me a boldness that I had been lacking after my daughter was born. And for that I bless J.K. Rowling and her brilliant imagination.
Following are some AWESOME web news sites related to the book, etc.

A fan fiction writer gets her work published. I have NOT read this girl's work, but I think I'd like to. Does anyone know where her
alternate universe book can be found online?

In parcticular THIS cracked me up!!
''Harry Potter gay porn,' she corrects me. 'We write it. It's called slash fiction. You take the characters and you imagine them in different scenarios. There's het fiction too, where they think the characters are straight. Whereas we assume that everyone is bisexual until proven otherwise."
What can I say? Lisa is 38; she's a paralegal and lives in New York. Her friend, Hally, is 26, and a student. They just seem like perfectly nice, educated, middle-class women. Who write homoerotic fiction about wizards. By Lisa's reckoning, at least half the delegates are engaged in writing fan fiction, 'and there's fan fiction with plot, and then there's fan fiction which is just sex. But we sub-divide ourselves into
who you ship.'
Ship?
'Who you put together. I do Remus-Sirius, but Hally here she does Harry-Draco .'
Draco, his arch enemy? I say. The little blond one?
Lisa nods her head.
I had no idea that Harry was a porn star, I say.
'Oh yes. You should see some of the things that Harry gets up to!'
I'm really not sure I want to, actually. And at dinner I sit next to a fresh-faced pair of sisters: Olivia, a nurse, and Abbi, a teacher, who've driven nine hours from New Mexico to be here. I try to judge if they, too, are into hardcore wizard-onwizard porn.
Do you do ... 'slash'? I ask Olivia and Abbi.
'No!' they say. 'We're fans, but we're not freaky fans.'"
bwaaaahahahahahahahaaaa!!!!
