Ramping up for HBP...
Really, I'm feeling what I did last time, a mixture of excitement that there will be new material to work with and dread that I'm going to have to plow through the whole bloody book. I have very ambiguous feelings about canon. Since before OotP I've viewed it more as source material for fanfic than something I really am all that fond of in its own right. Awful, isn't it? At any rate, I'll be getting the book sometime in the afternoon, since a good friend has generously purchased it for me from Amazon.
None of my standing completed fics will be retconned, though this means that Amid My Solitude and, quite likely, Sweet Home will both be outdated. Laocoon's Children and Stealing Harry may be retconned slightly to account for any major upheavals the books may cause but, as it's AU, I don't hafta if I don't wanna.
NEENER NEENER NEENER.
I DO NOT PROMISE to post no spoilers, though of course I will be cutting and warning any spoilers I post in fanfictional form. I will probably not post any discussions of HBP. That's what I use fanfic for.
But, because someone recently passed on some rumours and they made me think long and hard about whether to believe them, I decided I might as well post what I believe will happen. I'll cut it, just in case you think I'm psychic.
You will also note that I am posting this publicly and you will no doubt want to return to ridicule me when my theories are blown to shit. :D These are not things I want to happen in all cases; these are things that I think are likely. In some cases I hope I'm wrong.
