Well, I'm trapped in Chicago for, at the very least, eight and a half more hours, so I've taken the opportunity to upload a few of my most recent photos. I'm technically in the middle of about 7 drawings right now. I keep losing interest once I get to the point of colouring backgrounds. :P The only drawing I've actually finished-finished recently is my offering for the DG Exchange, and I haven't submitted it yet because [text redacted in case it makes my exchange submission too easily recognizable].

Another fave? Dude, you're going to spoil me. ^_^ Thanks.
Though I have to say I like 80, Why? better than this one. Funny, huh? ^_^

Say what?
:iconsororitysheep:
The reason for the difference in fave choices is b/c once I noticed that Ginny's head was a little too big in Why?, it just really started to niggle at me and I just couldn't fave it. Sorry dude. ^_^

Ooh, really? Did you post on the F&I thread on FAP? What was your user name?

And oh no, why did the 7th book kill fandom for you?! Did you not like the 7th book?
:iconsororitysheep:
I think I was posting under trixiethedeified, but it was a looooong time ago (2-3 years is a really, really long time in fandom). I posted primarily in F&I and the SS/HG thread, Potions and Prudence. Weird factoid, my sister Jeaniy (squirrely-girl on DA) originated AARGH on F&I ages ago. I'm so proud of her. ^_^ Hmm, I wonder if that's still around.

I actually loved the 7th book until the prologue. I accept that it's JKR's world, but a 17 year time lapse was so hard for me to accept. I kept thinking of the characters as 17 years old, so all the babies and practically grown-up children really, really threw me off. Anyways, I would have been a lot more interested to hear about the restructuring of the wizarding world after Voldemort's defeat than anything about babies and marriage. Boring. ^_^ The prologue could have been so interesting, but JKR insisted on, for one thing, that all Slytherins are evil? There's not even the slightest redemption for any of them anywhere at any time? Not even 17 years in the future?? And the only Slytherin who worked for Good is dead? Man, boo on that. That's akin enough to hardcore prejudice that I just have to completely ignore it.

It was just so disappointing, when Rowling could have tackled redemption in an intelligent manner in a way that would have reached millions of people, and she insisted on sticking with a "your ambitious inclinations as an 11 year old means you're doomed to be EVIL" pov. Just really, really disappointing. I guess I expected too much. :(

Oooh, wow, what a long and awesome comment! :D

Guess what? I found you on SCUSA! You posted under the user name "Trixie" but signed your posts "Trixie the deified." And before you think that I'm some sort of stalker and spent hours on SCUSA looking for your posts... Let me point out that last month--in celebration of F&I's 100th thread--my friend Mousey and I went through all 100 threads and kept track of what shippers posted on which threads, and Mousey made one big spreadsheet of "Shippers who have posted over the years." (We did this for F&I's "Thank you, shippers!" page on Mousey's thread website: [link] Cool, huh? :D) Anyway, all I did was look on the spreadsheet for a user name with "Trixie" somewhere in it and I saw that someone with the user name Trixie had posted on the 6th, 7th, and 8th threads, so I went back and found your first post on the thread. Took about 3 minutes. :D But gosh, you're an oldbie!!! If you came and posted on the thread now, even just a little mini-post, we all would worship the ground that you walked on, haha. xD

Hey, I've got some of your sister's D/G fanart favorited! Her work is awesome! :D And hmmm, "AARGH" actually sounds sorta familiar... What is it, exactly?

I TOTALLY agree with you on the crapilogue (as I like to call it). It wasn't very well-written, it was boring, it was unnecessary, and it was way too fluffy, but not even a GOOD kind of fluffy. It was an annoying, boring kind of fluffy. xP And I so agree! Rowling has ALWAYS been soooo anti-Slytherin that it's not even funny! Remember now absolutely *none* of the Slytherins stayed to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts?! That just seemed...unrealistic, I guess. Couldn't there have been at least *one* Slytherin who stayed, or snuck away and came back to fight (like Draco, Crabbe, and Goyle, even though they weren't fighting for the Light side)? Ugh.

"/my thoughts on yaoi ^_^"

Wait, I'm not 100% sure I know what you mean. Yaoi is another word for slash, right? Are you saying that you think Rowling could have used her influence over all of her fans and introduced a mature slash relationship in the books? If so, I AGREE. <3 I think a little bit of Seamus/Dean would have been adorable, or maybe a brief mention of Sirius/Remus.

And if that's not what you meant, then whoops. xD
:iconsororitysheep:
Ha, no, sorry, "thoughts on yaoi" is a term (from fandom_wank) meaning that you've just posted a very long, perhaps uncalled for, post detailing your precise thoughts about a subject, whether someone wants to hear them or not. It's mostly used ironically, when you realise that you've just word-vomited all over someone. ^_^

I can't remember exactly what AARGH ended up standing for, but it was/is a FAP group that was anti Harry/Ginny shipping.

Crapilogue is a good word for it. I think Rowling really undermined her whole "choice" theme by defining all Slytherins as irrevocably evil. I mean, not a single Slytherin decided to go good? Not one? Not even some anonymous 6th year? Whatevs. I don't really have any feelings one way or the other about slash's presence in canon, tbh. I probably should, I guess.

Hmm, I just realised I called the epilogue the prologue in my previous post. Obviously you knew what I meant. ^_^

Oooooh, A.R.G.H.! That's why it sounded familiar, 'cause it's in the V.E.N.O.M. forum! I never visit V.E.N.O.M. 'cause I like to keep my ship-bashing to IM conversations and e-mails. ;) But dang, A.R.G.H. is by far THE most popular thread on V.E.N.O.M.! They're on their 37th thread right now, and the only other thread anywhere close to that is the anti-H/Hr thread, which is on its 35th thread. Apparently A.R.G.H. has been flyyyying since DH... I'm very tempted to join that thread now. My hate for H/G has grown a whole lot lately... Blech.

And I found A.R.G.H.'s first thread: [link] Is your sister Archchancellor?
