So, I'm trying to re-read Order of the Phoenix in preparation for the release of the next HP book, and it's KILLING me. The first time I read this book, it didn't seem so bad. I mean, I'm not overly impressed with Rowling's writing, but her books are at least generally pretty fun. Last time I read OotP the story managed to keep me interested without feeling like torture. Now? Torture. I've been working on it for a week and I'm not even a 100 pages in yet. I keep telling myself that once the actual school term starts the story will pick up and it'll get better, but the more I read the more I remember what's to come and the more annoyed I get. Maybe I'll go back and re-read Azkaban instead and call it good enough.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I've got a dilemma. Half-Blood Prince is coming out during Comic-con (which I fully expect to generate utter madness, by the way). Do I pre-order my copy so that it's waiting for me when I get home, or do I assume we're going to have a chance to pick up a copy in San Diego? Can I wait until we get back to read it? Or, maybe I could have Amazon deliver the book to the hotel? But do I really wanna lug that thing around with me on vacation? I dunno. I need to find out what M's doing.
And who wants to bet that I won't make it 24 hours post-release before someone at Comic-con spoils me on who the half-blood prince is?

And someone will totally spoil you while you're a Comic Con. Which is so totally wrong.
And they'll probably get a huge amount of glee doing it. Because people suck.
(I don't have an HP icon to use, bah.)
I followed you to lj from the angel fanfic workshop where I just stumbled over your story 'Curses'.I liked the unbeta'ed version a lot and am now trying to hunt down a finished version.

Facing the same dilemma: my copy gets delivered to my house in Germany while I'm in San Diego. And I can just imagine sitting there, fingers in my ears, going, I can't HEAR you, lalala.
So I'm going to buy a second copy and try to resell it after I read it.
Okay, back to looking for your fanfic...
I friended you; hope that's okay. I definitely don't want to miss the fic, and I don't hang around the workshop much right now, for time reasons.
worldfandom.I hope you're going to be promoting the heck out of yourself in San Diego this weekend.
yeah... I actually got no plan; I thought I'd just have a look and see which opportunities might arise. I've never been to ComicCon before but I heard it's a monster of a Con. Not to compare with cozy UKcon. Should be interesting. Did you see the program? It's 63 pages long!
