What a fantastic writer Janice!
I know you must be so proud.
I haven't read the Saga of Harry and Hogwarts but I know how the fans must feel! Ecspecially after reading that eloquent report!
This line really jumped out to me!

--- Quote ---in a very special and even unique way, they were real to me. I pity anyone who tries to tell me that I was too invested in this fictional world. Just because you don't understand how I feel does not mean that my sentiments are not valid or meaningful

I think you know what that brings to mind! LOL
Bravo!
That was a wonderfully well written piece!

That's the same line that jumped out for me, Lee, it's the same with our 'obsession' with Brokeback, isn't it?

It Sure is!
I thought that summed it up well!

shortfiction:
I am now reading Cormac McCarthy's The Road, which is quietly devastating.  Very spare, lean writing.  I sat down with it today and read 120 pages right off the bat.  It's digest sized, with a lot of short bits of dialogue and spaces between paragraphs, but that's still quite a lot for me to read in one sitting.   

As far as I can tell, it's about a man and his son wandering through what appears to be a post-nuclear wasteland.

It cannot possibly end well.
