Harry, A History

[ladymaidmarian]

I just finished Melissa Anelli's "Harry, A History" and kept wondering why I don't remember meeting Melissa, because a lot of the book reminds me of my own time in the Harry Potter Fandom.  How could we have had the same experiences while being hundreds sometimes thousands of miles away from each other.  It was very deja Vu-like.  I have to say

LOL whatever - I was a fervent member of GT and I never even read Imogen's stuff. I totally agree with you, what I remember most was that you guys were the first to call it, and everyone laughed in your face because H/G was ZOMG totally never happening.

Well, if it's any consolation, all the GT members ended up way better than, say, Ms Scribe *snickers* I know I'm being a petty bitch here, but seriously, name one BNF that didn't turn into a whiny moron after HBP anyway.

...Well, that was dismissive, certainly.

But I've come to believe that unless you were there and you lived it, then you couldn't really understand it, anyway. We know what it was like... I know the legacy of GT. I wouldn't be writing today without it. I wouldn't be writing as well today without it, and I wouldn't have fabulous friends that I STILL owe penance to...

I wasn't in the "inner circle", so I don't remember that side of the blow-up but I do remember the aftermath, and it changed the fandom. So... Yeah. Please not to be summarizing what GT was with THAT fic.

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.

OK, you AND Lizzie need to write the book because this is also true of me too! And yes, I do believe I still owe penance (and so does Marian)! XD

Shut up Anne and stay on topic!

Chi, you owe ME penance too! Well, not that you're the only one. Hey, maybe we should KEEP TRACK!
