The Cuckoo's Calling

Even though I enjoy crime fiction, I probably would not have picked up this book had I not known JK Rowling wrote it. That said, I must say I thoroughly enjoyed it. There is something decidedly Agatha Christie-ish about its construction (which I consider a good thing ( Read more... )

Nicc's Return

et_ii wrote in thehpn_asylum Apr 10, 2014 09:32

I wonder if anyone has had a chance to talk to Nicc since he visited the forum yesterday. I was worried that something had happened to him -- I had PM'd him a couple of times prior to my expulsion but he didn't answer. I suppose it is possible he was deliberately ignoring my requests for his intervention, but that seems uncharacteristic. I would ( Read more... )

The Young Progressive's Guide to Free Speech Suppression

Message from Nicc:

Hello there again and it's Nicc. I just wanted to announce that the new HPN is now open for business. We are now live at:http://thehpn.net/theforum/index.php

It took us a little while to seek land, land on it and then start settling on it. But, we made it and we've got a new island to enjoy now. The port is that-a-way and there's ( Read more... )

Land in sight and more, ehm, Potter

Latest reports from the crow's nest indicate that we may be landing very soon! Check the sticky thread for more updates.

Meanwhile, if anyone is interested in other activities than packing one's trunk (please make sure note to leave any of your belongings in the cabins), those who aren't in Pottermore yet can apparently now enter. At least I just ( Read more... )
