Is it really August 11 already? Seems like my summer just got started, what with doing Pride and Prejudice in June and traveling all over the world in July. I really should be working on school things, getting ready to start my year and all that. Instead I'm just working in the yarrd and managing the Lexicon team and sleeping in later than I should.

And I'm okay with that.

What I'm NOT okay with is the British press. I've been burned twice. Never again. So if you're a reporter for a British newspaper, bite me.

I saw one of those articles. Well, what did you expect a mainstream person to think? HP fandom is a scary place, what with the Hermione/Snape and Hagrid/Buckbeak. They didn't even explain the Msscribe story.

If they report what they see, so be it.

But when they intentionally misquote so that it sounds like someone says something completely outragoues when they didn't, or when they lie about being press until after people have talked to them, then print things which they said they wouldn't when their press status was revealed, that's reprehensible.

So reporters from British newspapers can still bite me.

I completely understand Steve. Those of us who went to Accio all read the travesty that was the spread on the con. Death threats to JKR? Obsessed with slash pairings at the conference? Ummmm.....NO.

Oh well. See ya around the Lex. I'll be hangin' with Kip at St. Mungos on the Forum. :-D
