So...

Please tell me some of the rest of y'all have done the naughty and read you-know-what and want to talk about it here. 'Cause I just don't know enough HP people. (And there's something I've never before regretted. ;-) )

ETA: So far, no actual spoilers in the comments. If/when that changes, I promise to edit with the appropriate warning IMMEDIATELY.

ETA2: I would say that there are some spoilers here now! BACK AWAY.

*is HP person too*

I, erm, donwloaded a certain something, and read a couple of pages, and went 'Ooooh', but I decided against reading any more than that.

Then there was the debate about the authenticity of that, which made me think, "Who would really sit there and PS that?"

I now just want to see if they prove to be genuine or not...I suspect they are, but I think it would be really funny if they did indeed turn out to be the work of someone with a lot of time on their hands and Photoshop.

but I have no icons O.O

I've been staying out of the fandom, so, there are spoilers?

I can't wait till saturday though, and I'm gonna be reading real real slow. XD

Um, I admit that I read a certain something, along with a whole lot of debates about whether or not that certain something is real or faked.

If it's faked, wow, that's a lot of effort to go to.

I've read it - and I really can't imagine how it could be a fake. Of course, I like it, so I want it to be real. *g*

I *heart*! I just finished, and more than anything I'm just impressed with the story. It's good, it's solid, it really worked for me, and it was right, without being too obvious. Yay! Good conclusion, I thought.

Can I jump in on this?

I really don't understand the problem with the names in the epilogue. Sure, they kind of sound like bad fanfic names, but so do most of the names in the series! Within the context of Rowling's literal (not really the best word, but you get the idea) universe, I think it makes perfect sense.

So, yes, Albus Severus Potter is an exceptionally silly name. But Harry would totally name his kid that.

So, just finished it, and, I did like it fine, but that's not the point.

Just-- I am waiting for all the Big Fascist Love fics that are titled "For The Greater Good." Because of course it's going to happen. (Rowling didn't help by saying about twenty times how remarkably good-looking and blond he was.)

Also, as someone mentioned above, this lends a whole new terror to Harry Potter: The Next Generation.
