Signs you were in Harry Potter fandom too long:

seven years later, you read a Hogwarts AU in another fandom, where the author's note reads "Character does not have fond memories of graduation" and your brain immediately snarls, "THERE IS NO WAY HOGWARTS HAD GRADUATIONS."


(See also: my obsession with canon-correctness. Now that I am trying to write in a COMICS fandom, this is driving me quietly mad)

I HOPE THIS MEANS WHAT I THINK IT MEANS.

I'M ONLY TRYING. RACHEL SAYS I'M SUCCEEDING, BUT SHE'S A REALLY NICE PERSON, SO.

It's even worse when you're rereading old HP fic from before the days of widespread Britpicking. Oh man, that was the Wild West of fandom for real.

I know omg. I've been having a wave of nostalgia for old fics...and I keep stumbling across fic moments that make me go Remember when we forced the studio to change Tom Riddle's gravemarker through sheer internet rage?...and some of them still make me laugh/cry/cheer, but some make me wince.

Comics fanom? :D?

They don't graduate! They LEAVE!

There isn't any canon in comics! Or rather, ALL THE CANONS ARE DIFFERENT AND ALL ARE EQUALLY VALID AND ALL ARE IN A FORM THAT MY BRAIN IS INCAPABLE OF PROCESSING. Bah.

DOES THIS MEAN YOU ARE WRITING AVENGERS FIC?

Trying? I hope so? Ish?

[the-randomist.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK! I'm excited.

Speaking of Avengers, you and I need to see the movie together when it comes out.
