    Squee!

    That was awesome!

    Question concerning golem's: Are there limits concerning material that can be animated?

    So say you transfigured some coal to diamond, could you animate a diamond golem?

    Just curious since it would be a real ball-breaker.

    Nice duel against Cedric and over nicely. But I am so expecting someone to raise shit over Harry cheating and knowing that spell which is beyond 7th year >.>

    And first replyal, bitches! :D

    Regards
    Aerin

    Most excellent.

    I'm a little upset you didn't have a whole duel with completely super cool new spells, but I imagine you have reasoning.

    Great snippet

    You beat me by one mintue Aerin...one lousy minute. And here I was hoping to be Jim's lapdog. Grr

    Okay I was wrong when I say he loses everything but I knew he would somehow be screwed out of a win against Fleur. Krum va Potter will be nice.

    We really needed the duel to the death against Draco.

    *coughs*

    You know, Jim, dearest of all authors, it just so happens that my birthday's tomorrow...

    No? Couldn't hurt to try.

    The creativity of the duels are astounding. Can't wait for Harry's duel with Krum. Hope he'll make that fucker bleed.

    Point in fact, "That Fucker" was coined by nonjon *Dead-pans*

    And danke danke Jbern for posting that snippet. Made my birthday morning with my 26 inch LCD TV and new surround-sound system (6 bloody speakers!)

    does anyone else think that the last line of jbern's latest snippet reeks of wizard of oz?

    not complaining, as it's all the little things that i love for this story, like the line hj makes a few chapters back about his future survival. he says he wants to go on to future success like paul and not get cut down before his time like john.

    beatles reference properly used? PURE WIN
    wizard of oz reference used in a clever manner? GODLY WIN

    keep up with it, and keep putting it out there, jbern

    one question jbern:

    on your fanficauthors'net page, it says an upcoming story idea of yours is a harry potter/battlestar galactica 2003 crossover called 'the lords of kobol'. how would your particular idea work? as a rabid BSG 2003 fan, i would love to know.

    this might be too much WIN to be contained on this site, but if you ever did 'lords of kobol', would you ever collaborate with shezza?

    the mind behind the denarian renegade and the mind behind bungle in the jungle working together? that would be like ice cream and hookers and a dead britney spears on christmas day.

    Awesome ain't it?
    I loved the snippet Jim, but it was too damn short. :(
    @ to the people whose birthdays it was, thank you for being born. I mean it. ;)

    Goddamnit. This story frustrates me because when I hit the end of every chapter I'm enraged there's always something exciting postponed until the next update. I was looking forward to the dueling, but Malfoy getting branded? There should be a law against that level of cliffhanger.

    And for what it's worth I think the Goblet ought to recognize that Malfoy actually deserves a Greater, not Lesser punishment despite the Malfoy hijinks. Would it be too much to hope for flogging AND branding?

    I've got an idea..........Harry should put it the branding in as a *seperate* infraction so that the same laws that apply to him being in the tournament also apply to Draco's punishment. Double the pleasure and the fun, I say!

    HJ actually caught a break with Fleur losing, although he still needs her to lose again in order to have a shot at winning this competition. Are the competitors allowed to help each other? It seems like HJ should be giving Cedric all the tips he can on how to beat Fleur.

    Also, is there some restriction on the lethality of spells you can cast here? HJ has been fighting pretty under control, but the others have been throwing around spells that could kill somebody if they got (un)lucky. Are there any rules there, or is it the same as the broom race?

    ETA: The advice I'd like to see is "Take this potion that turns you into a pronghorn, and make sure that Fleur sees you change back right before your match."

    You have nothing to worry about; if jbern went to all that trouble to explain the Cur's Mark, he's probably going to use it.

    Very clever dueling; I loved the water charm. I'm interested to see how - I assume your going to - land him with Voldemort in the graveyard. My money's on Draco, taking revenge for his branding and/or :whipped: ing but somehow messing something up.

    Can you imagin the new graveyard scene.

    Wormtail walks up AK's, Harry ducks and blasts the fuck out of him then stands on Voldemort.

    Let the Hat be enemies with the Goblet. LOL Wouldnt be that surprising really.
    There would be a reason for the Hat not offering the Goblets services earlier.

    Nah... I'll bet you they were old dorm room buddies. A flaming goblet? Holy shit...that'd be something that only Gryffindor would own.

    Then again... the goblet might be some sort of uptight "by the rules" type, and that'd just piss the hat off.

    Then again... a goblet that oversees a tourny where people are trying to cheat and kill each other... it could be just like the hat personalitywise, and pissed off that it hasn't had anything to do in 400 years.

    Heh... that'd be great... it pops out a ticket for the flogging... and then provides a flaming (as in "on fire") cat o'nine tails for the scourging to be done with.

    Draco:Eeep!
    Harry: Heh heh heh. (shakes out the whip sending little pieces of flame scattering ) Oh, draco... remember that saying... This is going to hurt me, more than it does you? Well... that saying doesn't apply here.

    Well, I've got the rough draft of Lie 12 finished and we're hashing out the details on AFC. I'll do my best to have it up before Friday. The beast checks in at over 11 thousand words and I think you'll enjoy both the Manos and Krum duels.

    Well you haven't failed us yet so I doubt you will now.

    How is the novel shaping up?

    Living!Psycho!Goblet + Psycho!Hat = ?

    I was going to try and come up with something clever, but the words that would describe just how full of win that idea is just aren't coming at the moment.
