Hello! I made a post a few years ago about my Harry Potter autographs. One of my hobbies is writing to celebrities and getting autographs. I have amassed a nice collection of autographs from actors in the Harry Potter movies. Up until yesterday I had received (all authentic unless stated "Preprinted"):

Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy)
Matthew Lewis (Neville Longbottom)
Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood)
Clémence Poésy (Fleur Delacour)
Preprinted Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)
Dame Maggie Smith (Minerva McGonagall)
Emma Thompson (Sybil Trelawney)
Preprinted Emma Watson (Hermione Granger)
Jamie Waylett (Vincent Crabbe)
Bonnie Wright (Ginny Weasley)

I am still waiting on quite a few more, but yesterday I got the Harry Potter autograph to end all Harry Potter autographs!

( You can probably figure out who it is, but I'm lj-cutting it anyway )

I'm so excited that I just have to share with as many people as possible, and I figured the people of this community would appreciate it :) If you are interested in seeing any other of my Harry Potter autographs, I would be happy to upload them. Just let me know.

Always on the lookout for compelling images, we were delighted to discover this flourishing community of artists who share a love of nature. Honoring the subject with photographs, paintings, sketches, prose, poetry, and other creative works, you'll be simultaneously riveted to your monitor and inspired to run helter skelter towards the nearest wooded dale.

With the holidays upon us, I'm figuring that lots of us have WAY too much time on our hands, and that's where we might find ourselves wandering over to the fanfic realm to get our kicks ;)

So let's have ourselves a bit of a

Fanfic dicussion post

Always wanted to gush about your favourite fic? Post a critique of a fic you have just read (play nice, though, children) ... Ever wanted to ask others where you can find some kick-ass Marauders fic?

WARNING: This entry may contain a bit of Deathly Hallows spoilers for The Prince's Tale so if you have not read the final book of the Harry Potter series, please proceed with caution.

Out of the entire much anticipated Deathly Hallows, the scene I am probably most eager to see is The Prince's Tale, however, it is only a matter of whether or not WB or David Yates in that respect will let Alan Rickman do his stuff, especially in one of the most treacherous scenes where we probably see for the first time of Snape's real torment:

The hilltop faded, and Harry stood in Dumbledore’s office, and something was making a terrible sound, like a wounded animal. Snape was slumped forward in a chair and Dumbledore was standing over him, looking grim. After a moment or two, Snape raised his face, and he looked like a man who had lived a hundred years of misery since leaving the wild hilltop...''I wish...I wish I were dead...'' (DH, pgs. 357-358. PDF format.)

The two most important aspects of this scene is that Snape is supposed to be ''making a terrible sound, like a wounded animal'' whilst his face is supposed to give off the impression of ''a man who had lived a hundred years of misery'' hence Rickman's older age compared to Snape's.

After the release of the Half-Blood Prince movie, I had hoped that I would settle down this winter and re-read the entire series. In the mean time, I got into graduate school, and now my every waking hour is spent reading history books and writing papers. Except tonight, during which I allowed myself to crack into my new Half-Blood Prince Blu-ray. I just finished watching and have a few questions that arose when trying to remember what happened in the book versus what they showed in the film.

Keeping in mind that I have not read the books in quite some time...( Questions below... )

Thanks!

Hi everyone! I saw people show their fanart so I thought I might show mine as well. I'm a seamstress, so my fanart is in 3d!

I had a question. I’m thinking of starting a crossover game - Not just Buffy/Angel but also other fandoms. I’ll explain.

I'll try to articulate this as best as I can. It's set in the season five Angel-verse. Cordelia wakes, having dreamt of the apocalypse, and warns Angel. They decide to put together an army of good, which is where the other fandoms cross over. So far there are two characters taken - Willow Rosenberg and Parker from the show Leverage. If I get enough people interested I'll form a community on a blog site that allows for more free icon space than LiveJournal. Unless you would rather stay on LJ. If I get any kind of response that will be put to a vote. It’ll be fun.

Show of hands?

Well, I started it.

**FINAL EDIT Thu Dec 10 02:15:47 UTC 2009**

So there is the final update... Over the past day we have processed around 11 million jobs out of the 12 million that were in queue at that time. Please bear in mind that over this past day, more jobs for notifications are also created. So while the queue has been dropping, we are still not fully caught up at this point, due to backlog and new jobs. We have roughly 3 million jobs still pending that involve the notification system in some manner. We had hoped we could have fully cleared the queue in a day, but unfortunately we can't clear it too quickly, since we need the rest of the site to operate normally. From our current perspective on the amount of jobs that are left in queue, and how many it has processed thus far, we believe it will take around another 8 - 12 hours to process everything.

And finally some answers to some questions:
