Is anybody else having problems with their comment-replies? I keep posting replies to comments twice, or not being able to post replies at all. A few days ago I tried to answer one of jessebee's comments about five times before giving up. Everyone else's comments on that entry worked just fine. I just couldn't answer jessebee. And then a few days later, same with one of animaltalker's. Frustrating.

You know, ever since I promised I would never again post fic-quotes without URLs, I pretty much stopped posting fic-quotes. In part because I wasn't reading much quotable fic, but also in part because I can never for the life of me remember to get the URLs. And today I'm breaking my promise yet again, because I'm just that much of a twit.

"Mr. Malfoy, if you're speaking to me as Headmaster of this school you'd do well to remember that and speak to me properly. 'F**k you, Severus,' is not generally considered an honorific figure of address," Snape said. Draco nodded once, remaining silent.

Pretty good day so far. Walked to the pool and back, started on The Last Light of the Sun, AKA Guy Gavriel Kay Does Viking/Celtic/Anglo-Saxon Pseudo-Britain. Enjoying it so far. I'm a history geek.

The Wild Wood (Brian Froud's Faerielands)
Waifs and Strays
Yarrow

Odd little experience today. Daniel found my Harry Potter fic (Finding Elvis) which I'd printed into book form for Chris, and asked me to read it to him. We read most of the first chapter. I told him it wasn't really meant for kids, but he seemed to enjoy it anyway. Huh.

Also went through all the greetings in our Spanish book, and numbers 1-5 and a few colours. Daniel's pretty good at it. Justin... notsomuch, but he's learning.

The comment-replies thing is happening all over. There is also a problem with disappearing and reappearing posts, one that nearly resulted in wank over in my journal, when someone thought they were being belatedly filtered out of a post!

I've been having sporadic trouble as well. Sometimes if I hit "back" and try again, it goes through...and sometimes it doesn't. Does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. Very odd.

I'm having problems with my comments that are posted... this isn't a new problem for me, though... I'll check my e-mail and see replies to my post, but when I get to my post, there are no comments. Wee.

I came prowling by your page hoping to see more a la "Finding Elvis". I really enjoyed it. :)

Thanks!

Oh - did you mean you were hoping to find the rest of Finding Elvis, or other stories? Because Finding Elvis is all done and here (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2443222/1/). I don't have any other HP stories... yet. Got a few ideas, though :)

Oh, sorry to be unclear. I did finish "Finding Elvis" and was hoping for similar genfic. :) (I added you to my fl to catch possible future postings. You seem very interesting to boot, which is a bonus. :) )

[ciroccoj.livejournal.com]

Cool, I'll add you too :)
