three years, then.

This LJ is three years old today. N'awww. *pokes it*

I meant to have a nice fic thing to celebrate, but then I failed to finish writing it. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised; Lotrips really isn't my fandom anymore, and I've been struggling with this fic since January. But I do want to finish it, in a last hurrah sort of way. We'll see.

Then there's the HP fic I've been working on for seven months. I always get stuck on the middle bits of fics. The beginning is all written, as are bits near the end, but that damn middle. Feh. Now I'm paranoid that something will be revealed in HBP that will somehow destroy the premise of my fic. Perhaps I don't quite have my priorities straight.

I'm not sure when I'll get HBP -- I preordered it ages ago, but I don't think I checked the box and paid the extra money for amazon.com to get it to me on Saturday. So, like everyone else, I'd very much prefer it if all spoilers stayed behind cuts. And I mean ALL spoilers, even little reactions that you don't think are spoilery. Last time, I got spoiled for Sirius's death because about four different people posted non-explicit exclamations in a row, all just different enough to make the full picture painfully clear. Be nice to those of us who are a little late to the party, mmkay? Even though I'm not as enthusiastic about HP as many of you, and wouldn't particularly care if it took another month for me to get book 6, I do want to be unspoiled when I eventually get to it.
