*stares at the Harry Potter fandom* ....wow. That was, hands down, the fastest, most dissatisfying turn-around (burnout?) I have ever experienced. I thought... if I just stayed with the Sirius/Remus fic... maybe just the MPWW-era stuff... that I could... I mean... I just.... ....I'm going back to anime fandoms now and never, ever leaving again. *twitches* But anyway. Fleeting Fancies has been updated with all the recs posted up until now. (I've been updating a little here and there, but gotten lazy about marking my place.) Some cosmetic stuff, especially with Gundam SEED, but mostly just archiving everything.

Yes, abandon the evils of Potter fandom, Becky. Embrace . . . anything else, anything at all. I'm not picky. Hooray! Happy dance, happy dance! Confetti time! Whee~!

. . . What? ^_^

*sniffs* And why should I? No archnemesis in any of those things to fight with, so they're pointless! Besides, you know me. I'd probably just go right back to TezuFuji and is that really better than Harry Potter?

>D

But, man, if you're in the Potter fandom it's not -you- that's my archnemesis, it's Potter in general, and that's just no fun. And, trust me, -anything- is better than Harry Potter. Even, Coconut Monkey help us, TezuFuji. Trust me. -Anything- is better than Potter.

~pouts~ Don't go confusing my archnemesis desires, dammit!

....now I have to know. What's wrong with the Potter in general? I mean, if even TezuFuji isn't worse (or just as bad as) Potter, there must be something the Potter did to you. Did it run over your pet monkey or something?

*innocent* It's not my fault if you're so easily confused with your archnemesis desires.

I have to physically restrain myself from lighting any Potter-related things I see in stores on fire. I have a long and sordid history with Potter, most of which stems from the fact that one of the books won a Hugo, and when I was looking for information on another author in high school on the internet, all I kept finding was a list of "Things to read after Potter" and . . . it made me sort of twitchy. I actually did chapter-by-chapter summaries of the first three books, in which I loudly extoled all the faults therein. Mostly because I had a bet going that I couldn't guess who was going to die in the fourth book before actually reading it. I was working on the fourth book, too, but . . . I got bored.

Potter is kind of like "Button you want to press if you want Ingrid to start foaming at the mouth and punching babies". It's a bad, bad button.

~glares~ You are -never- innocent. You're a bad, bad archnemesis who -totally- doesn't deserve the last three chapters. Dammit.

Does it help if I confess that I don't actually like the books all that much and find them kind of boring in and of themselves? That I'm only into the fandom because it's so big and I know that somewhere out there, it has to have good fic? (My biggest problem with the books are that I don't care for JKR's writing style, it just completely fails to hook me and it's a chore for me to slog through the books. So I tend to give up and just go, "Ooh! Shiny fanfic! Good enough! It's not like I'm writing the fic and have to keep all my facts straight.")

............you have chapter by chapter summaries of the first three books? >___> (*stares at the shiny red button of Harry Potter* *lightly caresses it and wonders if she should push it, sooooo tempting~~* >D)

I am not a bad, bad archnemesis! I am a sane archnemesis who pines for brilliant Cathy/Boots fic and feels your pain. Hmph. You keep forgetting that.

~grumbles~ See! It's like a blob monster, a hideous blob monster who tries to consume all who encounter it, even if they have no reason to be consumed! (She is a boring, bad writer. As, uh, I've said. Repeatedly. In many different ways. With varying degrees of profanity.)

Oops, my lie. I didn't do a chapter by chapter summary of the first book, just a long, angry review. And all of the second and third books, and up to chapter twenty of the fourth (technically I owe another seven chapters, because I was bought off, but . . . so lazy, and book is so -bad-). The hate is palpable, man, although apparently some Potter and non-Potter fans got kicks out of me spitting venom out time and time again on the subject. (Dammit! Bad Uke Sheep! Bad!)

I know! It's what tears me! On one hand, you are an archnemesis who rubs salt in my stinginy wounds. On the other hand . . . Cathy/Boots! Speaking of which, when -will- you have gotten control over someone's mind and made them write it? Why aren't you abusing your power? (Also, tell me why I keep reading the stuff posted on scrimettes, even though I know the odds are good it's just going to make me moan, bewail the crumbling of the world, and hit my head on the desk? Blind, stupid, optimistic hope?)
