Okay, having not touched HBP yet (it appears I am a surprisingly patient person at heart), I have decided to be a right petulant bitch and continue to write the fics I have already started, as AUs if need be.

^_____^

So. Simply Charming and every continuation thereafter in that universe are AUs by default, seeing as how we now have a canon sixth year. For the same reason, In Another's Hell is now AU. But I like that plot thread too much to just set it aside.

The other fics I am working on are dependent on what I discover when I read HBP, but seeing as most of them take place after Hogwarts is finished, I don't foresee too many big problems (provided some character I am writing about doesn't get axed. In that case, I will have to judge the pros and cons of switching characters.)

*is patiently awaiting Costco's lower pricing of HBP hardback*

ETA: So. That resolve to wait for Costco lasted a total of three seconds when I realized I still had a huge gift certificate to Borders. So now I am happily chowing down on chapter 6! *squees at picture*

Yeah, I knew you were incapable of being patient. And on chapter six already. I got mine, via Mr. Mailman, and yet, have not yet picked it up. Only because I at least wanted to finish one of my unfinished wips before I picked it up. I sent it to you, I hope you have time for it out of your busy reading schedule, and that it doesn't screw with your head at all. If it will, then don't worry about it, it can wait a few more days I suppose.

I'm also over half-way done with Haunted, that Chuck Palahniuk one, which is another reason why I don't want to pick up a new book. Because I've done that before. I started reading a new book before I finished with the last of the Dhampir series, and then I didn't finish Sister until way way way later. Excuses excuses right?

Well, hopefully I can talk to you soon. Hear how you're doing.

I hear ya. I used to not be good at reading multiple books at once, and I would get weird feelings about one book that were actually meant to go along with the other book, and sometimes I would get the plots mixed up. It was funny. Now I'm better at it. I just don't read multiple books much now because I don't read all that much at all right now.

Is the Chuck Palahniuk book any good?

Some how I knew it was YOU YOU YOUUUUUUUUUU. But why not give credit where credit is due right? Oh, and Haunted is great. I would reccomend it to anyone, but then again, a lot of people I know probably would hate it. You might like it thought. It has a very weird form, it's a novel of short stories and poems and all the characters have weird weird weird names, like Comrade Snarky and Saint Gut-less, and all the stories are either gross or bizarre or violent, etc. etc. Is goooooood.

Sounds like a fun book. Honestly, I like the twisted stuff. My favorite horror writers are all the whacked out ones: Lovecraft, Poe, de Maupassant... Good stuff. Even Stephen King is a little odd. I think it's a requirement for good horror.
