Arr, the piratey-ness of this crew of sclawags do put wind in my sails on this damnably becalmed day. Alas, me hearties, I've had no cause today to speak like the scurvy dog me poor dear mother always did say I be. The only port on the charts is one unsociable to buccaneers and their ilk, and we must needs be acting like _gentlemen_ in these waters. Yarr, it suits me ill.

ETA: Har har, me eyes just fell upon the "Update Captain's Log" button and it did make me laugh; these landlubbers surrounding me do think I be crazy, I wager.

Pretty. I got interested. Planning to read a bit more when I'm not at work (especially minding the specific of the content;-)))
Harry/Draco is not that scary. I was once wondering around the net looking for HP stuff, and bump to a site with fics. One of them had pairing Snape/surprise. I got curious - what could be a surprise. Now I know: warnings are made in order to listen to them! The surprise was Dobby.
By the way, I've read somewhere that maybe in the last book Harry will die. Looking at how it goes in thest three books - quite possible. If he does - the fandom will be the only consolation for the fans;-( But I hope he will live. Too many has already died.

"The surprise was Dobby."

Eeeeewww.

I have had the opinion for years now, that Harry would die in the final book. This is only strengthened by this latest news about Horcruxes - I think Harry is a Horcrux, and if Voldemort can only be killed after all the Horcruxes are destroyed, and one of them is Harry.... Plus there's a very strong theme running through the books about the power of love. The reason Harry didn't die in the first place was because of his mother's protective love. So Harry dying makes _extra_ sense because "greater love hath no man than this: that he lay down his life for a friend." Harry would be dying so that his friends and all of the wizarding world can live.

So I think it's either Harry or Ron who will die in the last book. Ron is a possibility because in the very first book, when they had to play the chess game to get through, Ron sacrificed himself so that Harry could capture the king and beat the challenge. Ron sacrificing himself in the final battle, out of friendship and love, could be just the kicker that enables Harry to defeat Voldemort. Remember that he had needed his parents' help when he faced Voldemort in the graveyard in GoF, and Rowling very carefully lays her parallels and foreshadowing.

Anyway, that's just my theory. You're welcome to join the game; we would love to have you. We're a very small group right now.

That's amazing theory! Sounds very much like true. Well, I'm staying in assurance that Harry will die for years too, but I just HOPE he will not. However, I agree with you: doesn't look like there will be no more deaths of important characters. More likely - who will live at all in the end? Some fics provide the idea that both Ron and Hermione die, which makes Harry particularly lonely and unhappy. I think this option is not unlikely too. So nice that it's only one book left to wait. Though after it everybody will regret that everything is over;-) But we still have fandom.
By the way, when I watched "The dead man's chest" I saw huge number of things that I have already met somewhere in fics made after the first "Pirates". Maybe it's just something in events and characters that appears logically, otherwise I could think that movie creators read fanfics too. Actually, why not?
Thanks for invitation, I'd like to join, but will need to read more first as I'm always too embarrassed to join somewhere before reading the previous stuff, and I know it annoys people when someone does it. How exactly is the whole thing structured? I looked around but didn't find where it actually plays. Or do I need to join first to see that? (that's what I assumed)

Play usually happens through chat (generally on AIM, though a few of us also have Yahoo). Most of what's happening right now, though, is Lucius Malfoy's competency hearing, and since that involves most of the characters and it's tough to get everyone online together, we're commenting and replying. It's working pretty well so far.

menofvision_mod is, as it sounds, the mod journal, and has more detailed rules, available characters, and I think a synopsis.
