I’ll punch you in the head

* Hermione is not well-loved. This makes me sad, because she can be totally cool if written correctly. Do not get me started on canon vs. fanon, because while I love her world, I do not particularly love JKR. Yes, that is possible.

* Panic!Fic is short, but longer than I expected it to be for just getting my feet wet. I picked Brendon as a pov, because I figured he was like Seamus, only less Irish and more gay. Yes, that is totally possible.

-- I keep using the phrase "punch you in the head." Mainly from Spencer. I feel this is justified.

-- While I can slash just about anybody in Panic!, I'm writing what I've seen very little of.

-- When I'm done, I'm probably going to need a character-checker, at the very least. It's not detail-heavy, though, because I'm not immersed enough in their lives.

Brendon was settled on the opposite side of the room from Spencer, legs pulled up and hands wrapped around his knees. Spencer was eating cereal.

“What’re you doing?” Ryan asked, looming over him.

“Spencer-watching.”

Ryan arched his eyebrows.

“I’m giving him his space,” Brendon clarified, and then Spencer raised his voice and said, “If you don’t stop staring at me, I’m going to punch you in the head,” without looking away from the TV.

* I need bandslash icons, now.

* Also, I've got all of The Black Parade in my head. The whole thing. On one continuous loop. I'm not complaining, it's just strange.

I haven't read those, but that's an interesting comparison *nods* I think there's something about the character of Harry that makes everyone else less than they are. Especially with his rage issues and caps-locks. Seriously, that's the stuff of crackfic.

Argh, lj ate my comment! Let's try that again...

I had to give up on the HP books after OotP. I'd already got irritated with the unnecessary length and attention to every detail of every Quidditch match by Gof but in OotP, the way Harry was written annoyed me so much that I just lost interest completely and didn't care what happened anymore. Even the slowest person should have learned from their mistakes after 4 years, but it seems as though Harry hits a reset button at the start of every book and jsut does the same thing over again (with more shouting) - or maybe that's because JKR only has one story to tell *snark*

Re the Tiffany Aching books, I would definitely recommend them (and just about any other Terry Pratchett book really!) There are three out: The Wee Free Men, A Hat Full of Sky and Wintersmith. The first two are excellent and I've heard good things about the third. To quote the man himself: the opposite of funny isn't serious, it's simply unfunny; and these books are serious and funny and extremely good at both. There is a dark edge as well as a richness to the emotion of them that I think HP lacks, and they also made me laugh out loud.
