Which ones?

It depends on whether we're talking about greatest literary books or greatest comfort books. If it's literary books, it has to be To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, for me currently. If it's for comfort, well... Jasper...

Since I'm on the market for a new calculator anyway, what's the closest I can get to a fx-911W? Particularly the closest battery-operated calculator. I'm not familiar with its particular quirks.

I'm doing Materials Science and Engineering.

You're talking to a H/Ger. Of course I have strong views on Giant Squid shipping (it's a peculiarity of ours, please don't ask). I'm a Dennis/Giant Squid shipper. I don't know why we fear D/G - it's utterly ridiculous. It's just one of those things. I do read slash, mostly when I'm in a...

Firstly, let me address mizz_smee. How can we be 'so in depth'? We enjoy the books greatly and spend a lot of time discussing them with our friends. This has led to us spending lots of time on the computer, discussing them with people all over the world. There are actually more geeky ways we...

*bursts into hysterical laughter at some of the pictures* Oh dear! NOT A BOY! Josephine, it's lovely to meet you. Right, Ginny protection time. If hasn't already become obvious, I've been an ardent supporter of Ginny for a long time. As in, since CoS. And some of my favourite scenes...

Thanks for the compliments, guys. Merry Christmas to you all - it's the only celebration, along with Harry's birthday, that has consistently made it into the books. Best wishes for the day, and hope that this tradition continues. On the subject of Ginny - she's a nicer character to have...

As far as Ashwinder goes: she was a Queen, she was a fic-writing Queen, therefore her ficcage is considered part of the ship bible. Shipping definitely subjective and not completely based on canon. I can argue the canonness of my choices as well as any, (though not as well as Acemyth and his...

Carpe Diem (and it's sequels), The Chaser by Firebolt 909 (and it's sequel) and Ginny's Gift (and ITS sequels) by Ashwinder are ship bibles (without capitals) of pre-OotP. Naked Quidditch Match by Anya has cult status, as does Jeconais's reworking of the idea This Means War!. But the true Ship...

I do love how mentioning I'm H/G always immediately raises everyone's barricades. It's funny like that; any outside observer would (rightly) place the biggest divisions as the R/Hr - H/Hr split, but they would be unlikely to notice how a H/Ger admits to being such and a whole group of people...

Don't worry - I'm worse than a Good Shipper - I'm one of those dreaded H/Gers who like OBHWF. Chocolate and Snitches forever! To be polite, The Good Old Times of the Great Deathmatch Debates between Angua and her team and Pallas Athena, her team and Falcon are now long over. All current...

Typical Pumkin Pie-er. *shakes her head* First thing you do is try to get Ron out of the way. K2K is one theory that I'm not very fond of. Yes, it makes some sense. No, I don't think it will happen. As to the tealeaves - Jo's aware of how the fandom feels about Ron's joking predictions...

Mugglenet was created by Emerson, who's a teenager. Those who run it are teenagers and early twenties. TLC, on the other hand, is run by thirty-somethings, several of whom are real journalists and get invites as real press to HP stuff (Melissa and whoever she takes with her, mostly). It's...

TLC's definitely a better quality pure news site, but Mugglenet's not bad - it's just the CoS Forums associated with Mugglenet are terrifying.
