selenakLast two days: led to the conclusion that while the landscape of Lower Saxonia is charming, the lack of online connections in various hotels is not, and that I'm far too addicted and spoiled by technology, obviously. Thank good for libraries. Also, considering I have to travel the next week as well, I dearly hope the strike our train folk are currently engaged in won't continue.
And what's the first thing I see now that I'm back? A certain wizard got outed. Colour me amused. Because, really, was there anyone who read Deathly Hallows and didn't conclude Albus/Gellert was the new Xavier/Magneto?? Otherwise, I'm with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
penknife; hand me the popcorn, I'll watch fandom flail and alternately condemm JKR for not making it explicit in text or being delighted there's a useful quote around. Because you know, for every "I don't care what the author says outside of the books, it's not canon", there is that strange phenomenon of endless posts and essays being written arguing against quotes from interviews and other non-canonical material. (Which I never understood. I mean, I'm all for "only what's on screen/in the books/insert appropriate place is canon", but then why all the growling or praising over personal statements? Pick one or the other.)
Wait, I can't afford to sit back and watch. I've got massive catching up to do and challenges to write. Damm!
