Rowling Backs Potter Fan Fiction

Although... have to ask... why does SQ get a mention AND a link? Isn't that a little partisan? Would it not have been rather more diplomatic and give FAP a mention? And FF.net? Way to make us all look like sub-literate moronic 9 year olds.

ETA: You know that 'should the trio be replaced' thing? Well, that's also on BBC News.... complete with a mention of Stockard Channing being 33 when she was Rizzo. Are the BBC checking out LJ these days?

You've got to be KIDDING me!

Heard a nasty rumour that GWYNETH BLOODY PALTROW will be playing the divine Miss Dietrich in a movie. You know those letters after the names of casting people in movie credits? I'm fairly sure they're made up. Gwynnie as MARLENE? I know I'm nothing close to Gwyneth's biggest fan and this is possibly a predictable response, but seriously.... as MARLENE DIETRICH? Has the casting person/whoever ever SEEN a Dietrich movie? Or a picture of her? Or heard of her?

Also in today's news... I was woken up by the girl downstairs talking SO loudly on the phone that even with the TV on for the news I could still hear exactly what she was saying. Apparently someone called Mark volunteered for something, I'm guessing for a group project, and he hasn't done it yet and I gather it's due tomorrow. Seriously, and I know this is rich coming from me, but BE FUCKING QUIET! It's one thing to hear that someone's talking downstairs, but to hear every single word crystal clear is beyond a joke. I don't need to know about her life, thanks very much. I could tell the phone conversation had ended when she shrieked in that 'God, I'm so mad I could just scweam and scweam until I'm sick!' way.

Haven't finished my feature yet. It's pissing me off, really. The other stuff I'm hoping will be a little easier in coming along, although I certainly wouldn't bet my record collection on it. That said, the fact I've started it is something of an achievement- normally I wouldn't have even done that yet. Maybe I'm learning. Of course, I'm also writing a post-sequel HPDDD ficlet at the same time........

The last Friends is on tomorrow. I seriously do not know how I am going to cope with this. I've been told it's a cliche ending yadda yadda, but that's not the point. The point is that I love these characters and I don't want to have to live without them. I know that may sound sad and pathetic, but I don't give a shit. Mind you, I've seen a couple of Matt Perry's episodes in the West Wing and I didn't think 'Oh! It's Chandler!' except right at the start. That's praise of a high order.
