I remember those!!! I got to your work first via your livejournal sassy summaries, and they’re fantastic!

Yes! You have been around for the long haul. ❤️ I kind of wish I could edit some of those long-ago posts, since there are details I now grimace at. But I cannot get into the mollyringwraith LJ anymore—extinct email associated with it, no other way to get access, ah well.

I really have. Ugh and I had a website that met a similar demise, in the early aughts. It’s not up anymore though--can’t even cut n paste n repost.

I still remember waiting in anticipation (like your fictional reading audience) for the midnight drop of the last HP book. With the bingo card. Sigh....simpler times....

Yeah - JKR's second and unexpected career as a Twitter troll is certainly part of the reason I now wish I could edit things. Although to be fair, my own younger trollishness is another reason. I had some not so flattering moments... really all right with me if LJ purges that journal someday!

This is one of the most gloriously nerdy things I have ever read, bless you for having written it. I have already gone through this post twice, and clicked through to the original. Not done with that one yet!!

😂 I can get DEEP into a fandom when I love it. And I was a linguistics grad student at the time, so I was like, “Textual analysis, let’s gooooo!”
