there is a question here hmm oh yes--
Whats your say with JKR coming up with a new adult novel? expectations? hopes?
I think Rae had a broad Gryffindor streak in her, but that isn't to say that she was MOSTLY Gryffindor. Just enough to jump into the fray willingly from time to time.

Does this mean I have to ask you a question? *gasps about the not knowing you were a claw* But I
didn't know you currently have a character in every house
*rambling*
Alright, what's your favorite NON-HP movie?
Yup, I'm an old man with a long white beard. How did you KNOW that??!?
I have Copernicus in Ravenclaw, Hunter Bones in Slytherin, Tate in Gryffindor, and Caedwyn Howard in Hufflepuff. One in each.
I have a lot of movies that I like a LOT, although I'm not one to watch a movie over and over. There are too many I haven't seen yet! That being said, there are some rom-coms that I have in circulation from time to time: While You Were Sleeping, You've Got Mail, Penelope, several tellings of Jane Austen novels... hehe.

Hmm, that's hard. I have some favorite authors I like to revisit: Jane Austen, Anne McCaffrey, LM Montgomery. This answer is sort of like my movie answer... how I can I reread stuff when there are so many new books I haven't read yet ?

I reallllllllllly want to try your butterbeer cupcakes recipe sometimes SOON before I graduate. Mmm. I had some butterbeer drink at a party once and it was AMAZING.
Anyway. New q. How did Tate come up with the name Glitterpuff?
You should. If you come over, I'll make you cupcakes.
As for the Glitterpuff, Fletcher was being all smooth and moody and trying to dazzle, and I think the glitter was a better descriptor than anything else. Of course, Tate says exactly what he thinks, so he is mostly responsible for that nickname.

Hmm...
How about... What types of things tend to annoy you in an RPG (besides the usual things I hear from people like shipping and Mary Sues)? What types of things do you enjoy the most? Hmm? Hmm?
Come in and stay a while. Pull up a chair and stuff.
Annoying:
Attention hogs (thinking your own RP is more important than anyone else's/the school RP or requiring all scenes to be about you)
Mass cloners (since most stuff is simultaneous in the school, how do you explain being in ALL locations at once??)
Pre-shippers/Pre-planners (A well written character will direct a much more satisfying plot than one you plot out for them, plus you can really play with people in the moment instead of being constrained by what you 'know' will happen)
Enjoyable:
People will believable quirks and flaws IC
Character growth
Age appropriate behavior
Subtlety
