"How long has the site been around?"

Since August 04, 2001. I stopped updating weekly in January of 2005 because my son became ill and I realized I really needed to focus more on family life. I closed the site, officially, in November of 2005. However, I plan on keeping the site up in archive form indefinitely. At this point, the site has been up for almost a decade!!!

You can actually hire me to design and operate your own website! It doesn't just have to be HHr or Harry Potter... it can be any type of website. You can read more about it here! Contact me if you're interested!

A few people have mailed me asking about my media gallery because they, too, are frustrated with YouTube's shenanigans. I created the media gallery myself using Adobe Flash and html coding. I do not use code generators or helpers. Adobe Flash is a program you can purchase through Adobe.com, however, you need to understand flash or, at least, understand how to create flash elements in order to create the video player. I did that then handcoded the rest and designed it how I wanted it to look. I also use a free comment system from Js-Kit.com and a free hit counter. So, it's actually better than youtube. No ads, no getting shut down every 5 minutes, no time limits, and the comment system is actually way better.

If you're interested in something like this for your own site, please feel free to contact me at katejones123@gmail.com. I am a webdesigner/graphic designer and fansite stuff is generally inexpensive, depending on your needs.

Including the current front page, 13. I try to change with the seasons. While I used to actually redesign the entire website whenever I created a new design, I just don't have time to do all that anymore, so now I only redesign the front page. It allows me some design fun while keeping all the content pages incredibly quick loading. Unfortunately, I had a very spiffy Winter/Christmas 2002 design but I couldn't find a back-up of it. It was one of my favorites, too. Too bad.

AOL, IE, Netscape, Firefox and Opera are the main browsers that are compatible with this website. I cannot confirm the validity of any other browsers. It's best viewed in 1024x768 screen resolution or larger. You should also have standard codecs and flash in order to view any video content.

STEALING

I should not have to tell you not to take anything from my site without asking and, yet, so many people do it. I hate nothing more than when people pretend that they don't know that they're stealing. When you take or 'alter' someone else's website content, no matter how you try to convince yourself that you're just 'inspired by' or 'flattering' the person you take it from... it's stealing and you know it's fucking annoying.

No one feels flattered when they find their ideas on someone else's website. But what annoys me even more are the sites that take what I've done and rework it slightly and then act like they came up with it. Especially the recaps!!! I worked so hard on these and, no, I don't want someone else finishing them in some lame-assed attempt to be funny. Sorry that I didn't finish them but that doesn't mean I want someone else to. I'm possessive of them.

The fact that I don't actively run this site anymore does not mean that it's open season on taking my content and making it your own. I worked very hard on it and don't want to see someone else using it simply because they can't come up with their own ideas.

And, finally, my site, even now, is still visited regularly. Visitors are generally the ones who tell me before I even know about someone else stealing my content. So don't think that you're getting away with anything because no one will 'ever know'. People know. And they tell me. And we laugh at you.

Please understand where I--and many other frustrated webmasters-- are coming from. We're really proud of the content that takes most of us a long, long time to do. I worked on the site for almost 5 years. My content is a big part of why my site was popular and why people enjoyed visiting. To see that someone just rips off my ideas (even something as small as my squee scale for my movie reviews; i saw someone using this on their site once and it just drove me nuts. It's such a little thing--- why copy it??) without even so much as a credit just reeks of douchebaggery. It's a slap in the face to all the hard work I've done.

SO DON'T DO IT!!!!

Images:

Common sense stuff here, folks. Tagged images come from a special source of mine. Do not remove HLH tags from images or else she will no longer send them out. And how else would we get to see huggy-touchy-feely DE?

Fanart and Icons:

Art and icons found on this site were placed here with express permission from the authors or the communities that host them. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES use my visitor's copyrighted artwork on your website or in your own artwork. Icons collected from various journals ARE NOT MINE. They were found on journals and are posted following the author's rules. If anyone finds fanart on this site that they would like removed, please feel free to ask and I'll take it down, A.S.A.P. Me or my icon collectors may have made an honest mistake.

MANY, MANY thanks to my former icon hunters, Laura, Linsey and Roxy Chic, who collected icons from various journals on this site's behalf. They did an incredible job and I thank them from the bottom of my heart!

Music Videos:

DO NOT steal or "borrow" my video clips or use my setup of vids as your "inspiration." Even more than clip theft, I detest when I find practically a carbon copy of one of my vids on someone else's site. It's completely rude and you will be found out. People who watch vids hate those who steal as much as the vidders themselves. They're the first ones to rat you out. So don't do it! It's such a slap in the face to the people who work really hard to make vids for you to enjoy. And honestly, my videos kind of suck... why would you want to steal them??

Slightly Skewed Recaps:

The Slightly Skewed Recaps are a very sarcastic and funny version of the movies. I'm poking fun at both HHr shippers (with how overdramatic they are about HHr sometimes) and RHr shippers (specifically the flamers and how Ron is treated in the films). No offense is meant to anyone as it's just supposed to be funny. I thank everyone for mailing about them because I really appreciate it! I love hearing that you like them! Please note that I won't be completing the rest of the recaps.

Note 5. 5. 2009

::SIGHS::

Okay, so I've gotten soooo many mails about this that I've got to say something. While I appreciate that people really loved the recaps, I ask that you please don't go and do the other movies yourselves. It's been brought to my attention that a website, without even asking, copied pretty much my entire idea and created their own for other movies. I mean, they copied everything, right down to the layout. And I read them. And they were... bad. Just cringeworthy.

The recaps are really my favorite part of my site. I worked VERY hard on them. A lot of people ask me why I didn't finish or, at least, let someone else finish them. One reason- the main reason- was because my computer's DVD player broke, and that's how I got the perfectly timed images for the captions. Another reason was because I stopped being interested in HP and so my creativity for them sort of went with it. I didn't want to create something that wasn't as funny just for the sake of writing them. It would take away from how good the first 2 recaps were if the rest of them sucked. Also, I stopped watching the movies after the 4th one. I never saw the others because I completely cut out HP after book 6. That all being said, the following may seem a bit petty.

I'm possessive of the recaps. They really helped make my site popular. I have an off sense of humor and I know what my intent was with them. That being said, and I don't mean to offend anyone but, a lot of people think of themselves as funny and... they're not. They're SOOOOO not. At least not in the same way I am, and so someone else doing the recaps using a different sense of humor would ruin my original intent with them. What I was trying to do with these recaps was to really make fun of ALL of us, not just other ships. But not in a mean way- in a funny way. A lot of people don't understand that. They just think anyone can write them and they think I'm being a bitch because I don't want anyone else to. But that's not my intent. It's that the stuff I've read from some people trying to complete them just ruins it. I simply don't trust anyone to finish the recaps in a way that would be in the same intent and spirit of the originals.

Not that NO ONE could ever do them. I'm sure plenty of poeple out there are waaay funnier than me and could do them and probably do a better job than me. But the point is that I don't want them to. It's not unreasonable for me to ask that someone not steal something that means a lot to me to 'improve' or complete themselves. It would be like writing a book and having it mean so much to you and then someone comes along without even asking and writes a sequel, and a crappy one at that. It's like... really, you douchebag?? So let it go and enjoy the first 2 1/2 recaps.

Edited For Stupidity:

Because I was getting so much mail about these, you can read a separate EFS FAQ right here. Please note that EFS is not about shipping or supporting a specific ship, spelling, grammar, your opinion, calling people names, making fun or even about being an HHr or RHr shipper: it's about stupidity. It's about the stupidity that is flaming. And the astounding stupidity of some of my flamers.

Also note that the EFS idea is not mine... it's Mugglenet's. My version is very different but the basic idea was something I saw on Mugglenet. EFS actually started when I was sharing these crazy mails with some of my friends and we'd make fun of them. So I started doing it on my site. Please remember to credit them if you're advertising my EFS section.

• SHIPPER STUFF

"Why did you like Harry Potter?"

I think it's important to know why I like the books before getting into shipper questions so that you can better understand why I may hate certain things about them. I have always liked the books simply for the interaction between Harry and Hermione. I love how Rowling writes Harry, Hermione and Ron together; I think it's really special, fun and interesting. However, Harry and Hermione's interaction is really all I ever got into.

With HP, I could honestly care less about most of the characters or the plot unless it somehow pertains to Harry or Hermione in a significant way. If you can understand that, for me, these books were enjoyable because of the interaction between HHr (romantic or not), then you can perhaps understand why I don't feel the need to read the final book or see any other movies. Harry and Hermione's characters changed so much in book 6 that I don't recognize them as the characters that I enjoyed in the first 5 books. Now that they've been written the way they have, I don't have interest in reading about the rest of the stuff that I never cared about in the first place.

"Why do you ship HHr?"

Because I like them. I don't need anyone's permission or acceptance to enjoy them. They're still the best ship in the books in my opinion and I love the whole idea of them. That doesn't mean any other ship is wrong or bad... it's just my favorite.

"Now you know HHr won't happen. What do you think of that?"

It's sad that it won't happen in canon. There was a part of me that, despite knowing it was never going to happen, still hoped that perhaps there was a chance, what with all the sweet moments HHr have had. I think the connection HHr have is the deepest in the book between any character, shippy or not. But that doesn't mean that we can't still enjoy HHr. As I said above, there aren't any rules to liking a couple together. And no matter how many times I say it, it still hasn't sunk in to some people. Whether it happens in canon or not doesn't really matter. The moments we define as shippy are still so even if they aren't to other people. And outside of canon, HHr still exists. In fact, some of our fanfic is better than anything JK could ever write, dammit! So we'll continue to enjoy it in our own way.

"What did you think of HBP?"

I'm really happy that JK DIDN'T write HHr together because, having seen how she writes a ship, I think I would have been greatly disappointed. I don't mind RHr if its written well and I was looking forward to seeing how JK wrote real, romantic RHr. Most of us were expecting that Ron and Hermione would probably finally get together in this book and to our dismay they continued their same old games to the point that it became a joke. Nothing really changed except they were especially hurtful to each other this time around. I'd like to have seen RHr being kind to each other for once, and ROMANTIC... instead of the childish fighting that seems to never end. I mean...we get it. It's enough already. I'm tired of Ron's need to hurt Hermione because he doesn't have the courage to ask her out. I'm also getting tired of Hermione sort of allowing him to do it because she can't move on to someone who will treat her better (like Viktor or Harry). Get them together in a way that doesn't make us want to slap both of them.

What's funny is that if RHr folks could get passed their hatred of us, they'd probably agree. If you read RHr fic, it super romantic and a lot of stories are really wonderful. 90% of them, in fact, are more romantic and sexy. They're not that much different from HHr fic (I'm talking about the good ones, now. Both ships have some equally crappy writers and equally crappy fics). Only a few continue on with JK's version of childish games and conflicts that never become anything. So they obviously want the same things we do but with their pairing. That being said, I'm actually confused as to why many RHr folks are so happy about HPB. I mean... where was the RHr love? It was just more mind games with a hint of something romantic underneath. But we never get to see it. We're constantly robbed of it.

HG could have been a lot better as well. IO hate HG, really. I don't hate RHr but I've never liked the idea of HG so it's hard for me to say anything positive. I felt like the HG'ers were sort of ripped off because they didn't really get to see Harry and Ginny's interaction; it was mostly off-page. Sure, Ginny had a crush on Harry and even when she said she was over him it was still sort of there. But we, as readers, were ripped off the chance to see it develop and build up to Harry having some sort of epiphany about Ginny. They didn't earn the relationship they got, which is why it felt so off and why I personally hated it. And then they broke up anyway... nice. Obviously they'll get back together but it's the same problem; they never really gave us a chance to see this sudden thing develop other than the obvious crush Ginny's always had. Suddenly Ginny is this amazing warrior girl and we'd only gotten hints of this previously. It was just 'oh here... look at how awesome Ginny is. Now you have to love her.' It's like when a new character is introduced on a tv show and they're perfect because that's what the writers think we want to see and they think we're stupid and will just buy into it. That's what Ginny-Sue felt like.

More than any other gripe I have about HBP, I HATED what happened to Hermione's character. It was heartbreaking to see that my favorite character has gone from being the main female in the story who was smart, caring, powerful and clever, to being a whiny, pain in the ass who sits out on the action. She was reduced to sitting in the dungeons with no significant interaction with anyone while other characters benefitted from her absence. Worse yet, she's constantly berated by her friends for doing nothing more than having their best interests at heart. This is a gripe I've had with ALL the books, actually. Hermione is the boys' punching bag; because she's smart and cares about the rules, they constantly treat her as if she were a traitor or no fun or as if everything she's done hasn't been for them. In this book it was SO bad. I hated so much how Harry treated her and, again, Harry and Ron never apologize to her, even when 99% of the time she turns out to be right. Harry should have apologized for how he treated her at the end of book 5 as well and that never happened.

Finally, I'm tired of JK wasting time introducing characters in each book when they serve no purpose in following books. I'd rather her spend the whole 7th book on the characters we already know instead of continuously introducing new ones who will never really matter... at the cost of the main characters we love.

The only part of HBP that I loved was Fleur. I loved Fleur's character. Go figure. In my opinion, the characters, all of them, were really robbed in book 6.

"Why did you close the site?"

Despite semi-popular belief, I did not close the site because HHr didn't happen. It didn't help, but was not the sole reason. I always intended to continue even if HHr didn't happen. I was hoping to be one of the sites that remained DESPITE this fact as a sort of solice to HHr fans. In fact, I did until the interview JK Rowling gave. Many people seem to have overlooked that she callously participated in a conversation which degraded and disrespected a large part of her fandom. RHr fans seem to overlook this simply because she wrote RHr, which speaks for itself. I still ship for HHr and love them together, however I have no real interest in promoting the books or JK Rowling further by continuing the site.

It also happened that I began my final year of grad school and a major thesis that I needed to start work on. I honestly started getting bored with the HP-thing. I worked extremely hard to update the various sections of the site while also dealing with grad school, a full time job and 2 children. So that combined with the interview and all the negativity that has begun to overtake this entire fandom-- most of which has become petty and childish-- and the decision to quit became really easy.

I realize a lot of people really loved this site and you'll never know how much I love you all and how much fun I really had. It was wonderful!

"Why are you and many HHr shippers so mad at JK?"

When the interview with Mugglenet and TLC came out, I wasn't surprised at the content. Most of us discussed that very thing happening the moment we found out that only TLC and Mugglenet were sites invited despite HPANA being one of the oldest, largest and most respected news sites around. So we knew this was going to be a pro-RHr interview. It's no big surprise that E + M, who run extremely anti-any-ship-but-RHr/HG sites, would say such things about fans of not only HP but fans of their sites as well. If anyone is surprised, then you haven't been around those sites long enough to see the goings-on that many of us have seen for years. To me it just showed a completely childish and disrespectful side of two people and an author who don't, apparently, care much about the fact many of those "delusioned" folk were also visitors of their sites and often promoted them, making them as popular as they are.

However, some people, I think, have blurred the line between between mad at E + M and being mad at JK. And if you're going to be mad, you should be mad for the right reasons.

The problem with JK that I had, and maybe others will agree, is that JK didn't try to curve this line of conversation, especially when she's gone out of her way in past interviews to be very careful about what she says. Anyone with any intelligence could see that the things they were saying could possibly be hurtful to a huge part of her fanbase so, at the very least, she shouldn't have joined in on it. I do recognize that she tried not to originally join in and tried to defend us by stating that we are such a "valued" part of her readership. But moments later that became disingenuous when she agreed, throwing in the 'delusioned' comment as well as going on about how we need to reread the books and how we missed huge "anvil-sized" clues, as if we were poor, stupid idiots who were dumb and couldn't read. It was very condescending. That's how it felt whether it was intended or not. She didn't stop to think that many of us don't just enjoy the books for the same reasons a select few do; that perhaps we knew and saw the clues which pointed out RHr but happened to enjoy the books for reasons that maybe she didn't intend. We still do.

No matter who those comments were directed toward, it offended ALL of us in some way. It's just a sad way to treat fans who have done nothing but praise her and loyally read and buy her series, stood outside in the rain at midnight to get them, to then be called childish names.

My opinion is that if the conversation were exactly the same, but the HHr and RHr roles were reversed, many RHr shippers would be just as hurt as we were. But they're blinded by their giddiness of the RHr/HG stuff (which sucked even if you are an RHr/HG fan so I'm not sure what they're celebrating about!) that they simply refuse to actually think about what was said. I don't care if the comments were meant only for the people who are militant about HHr-- they shouldn't have been made at all. There are many militant and stupid RHr shippers who go around saying the most horrible and vile things (such as how my children should be murdered and how they will find out where I live and burn my home down while my family sleeps)... just as there are many idiotic and moronic HHr shippers out there who are just as bad. Yet we were the ones who took the brunt of the comments about "crazy" fans.

We were judged on a very small portion of people who are BOTH HHr and RHr as well as other ships (of course, no mention of those insane RHr fans was made). Then, when- God forbid- we were hurt about it, we were further terrorized by Emerson and other RHr/HG fans whose behavior is apparently fine because they like the ship that happened, as if they'd won a contest or something. It was never a contest to most of us. Some people just never understood that even if HHr were never going to happen and there were tons of RHr moments and hints, we still LIKED HHr better. We liked the idea of it and everything we read that was sweet and endearing and, to us, could have led to a relationship between them.

I don't mean to be overdramatic. It really isn't all that encompassing. But yes, I'm sad. Not so much mad, but really just sad. I've put a lot of work into my site and a lot of fans have put a lot of their time into this series.

"What other ships do you like? Are there any ships you simply hate?"

Canonically, the only ship I really like is HHr. I'm not really invested in any of the other characters enough to ship for them. I wouldn't mind RHr if it was written well, and in that case, I'd prefer Harry alone or to be with another unknown character in some sort of 'future' epilogue or something.

Fanfic is a whole other story, though. After HHr, my fav fanfic ship is trio (Harry, Hermione, Ron). It's delicious and pervy and some of the best written fics on the planet are trio fics (check out my fanfic links to read my favorite trio fic series...it's kind of cheesy but addictive!). I also love Hermione/Lupin. LOVE them. I read this AMAZING H/L story once called 'Awaken Me' that just totally did it for me. I think the story has since been removed but, if you're interested, try finding it.

I like Hermione/Malfoy as well (check out a great H/D fic, We'll Always Have Paris by Melissa D). Great fic. Also, Cassie Claire's Draco Dormien's series, while labeled as HHr, is really D/Hr all the way through and I've never wanted so badly for HHr NOT to happen as I did reading this series. I mean... holy crap is Cassie an amazing author. It, and a few other fics, finally inspired me to write Taste. It's in the fanfic recs so definitely check it out. Seriously, I was kind of bummed whenever Hermione ended back up with Harry and that's NEVER happened to me. I liked how it ended and I did love that it was HHr but a part of me really wanted them together. You get the best of both worlds. I love how Hermione "changes" Malfoy in these fics, or vice-versa. It's horrible in real life but, dammit, I love them.

I read a Snape/Hermione fic once that was decent, and I have a few ideas of my own on how that could work and it's totally hot, but mostly I find it to be hard to believe even in fanfic. Suspension of disbelief can only go so far.

I don't mind RHr fics, because I like RHr in the fic world much more than canonically. Canon RHr is boring and in HBP was dreadful and pathetic.

Pairings I hate: Harry with ANY girl other than Hermione. I'm very possessive of Harry and don't like him with anyone but Hermione. I'm not into Harry/Snape. I'm into slash but I don't like H/S. Mostly cause they always tend to be about Snape being abusive to Harry or vice-versa, usually dealing with BDSM, which I don't like. I don't like fics with misc. characters like Lily/James or Dean and Parvati. I hate fics of the lead characters (Harry, Hermione or Ron) with miscellaneous characters. Like Hermione and Dean or Harry and Parvati. They all seem more like Mary Sue's or Gary Stu's because we don't know these miscellaneous characters well enough to write them. Finally, I don't like girl-girl fics. I like a little Ron/Harry action here and there, but I'm just not into girl-girl. Probably because I am, in fact, a girl.

Other Websites: JenniferDesigns-Online.com, my webdesign business. I've run or helped run a few other sites in the distant past but nothing I'm still associated with, including X-Files, ER and Dark Angel. You may recognize my name from my most recent fansite VartanHo.com (The Safe House), an Alias/Michael Vartan website which is where I began my coding and webdesign experience. I also currently run House Loves Cameron, a House/Cameron shipper website.

Favorite Poet: Jonathan Swift is my favorite poet by far.

Favorite Writers: Vladimir Nobokov, Jonathan Swift, Hans Christian Anderson, the guys at SomethingAwful.com, The Onion and Cracked (mucho hilarious).

Favorite TV Shows: - currently -: I haven't actually watched tv in a few years. I download everything. I don't even own a tv anymore. I love older shows more than anything. Alias, Buffy, Sex and the City, OZ (Beecher/Keller), Queer as Folk (Brian/Justin), American Dad, Charmed, Dark Angel, X-Files, South Park, Deadliest Catch, How It's Made, just about anything on the Discovery Channel, Married with Children reruns, Reno 911, and ER (Abby/Luka!). I used to hate reality TV but I've been sucked in. I tend to love the contest ones that make you prove you have a skill, like Project Runway, Top Chef and serious ones like Intervention. I also like some guilt-inducing crappy ones like Top Model or My Fair Brady which are useless and are surely rotting my brain, but are hilarious. It's like a train wreck; I'm horrified but I can't look away. I still hate Survivor and all the other outdoors-y reality shows, though. Or the Big Brother ones. Those suck. As does any reality show on MTV.

Other pairings I love:
Beecher/Keller from OZ is my current favorite.

Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman were my favorites LONG before HP came around. They've acted together in many, many films.

Least Favorite Actress/Actor: Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Rene Zellwegger, Jessica Simpson | Freddie Prince, Jr., any musician/wrestler/sports star and/or billionaire that tries to act and really, really can't. I hate reality show people.

Favorite HHr movie moments: In SS: The look on "Harry's" face when he saw that he made Hermione cry. In CoS: Hermione watching Harry walk away from the library table when everyone else wouldn't look at him. Also the look on "Harry's" face when he sees Hermione petrified. Both movies: Hermione fixing Harry's glasses. PoA: When Hermione goes to Harry in the snow, when Harry tries to protect Hermione from Lupin, while at the same time, she was being really strong and kicking butt through most of the movie. I also liked Hermione the whole time-turner experience in general with Harry and Hermione. GoF: I liked how Hermione was the one constant for Harry throughout GoF, despite how different from the book the moments were. I loved Harry's expression when he saw Hermione coming down the stairs and, especially, how the music changed when he saw her. There's just something about that I love.

Favorite HHr book moment: Too many to list! Go to the moments section. My favorite moments are from OotP and PoA.

Biggest Shipper complaint?: People who don't know what "shipper" means. It's not a competition to see who wins. If you think of it as such, I'm sorry for you; you're missing out on the fun.

Best thing about the HP community?: Everyone is very generous and ready to talk. Millions of people, despite race, age, sex and location can get together for a common purpose. Very cool.

Biggest general HP community complaint?: I have 3. The first and biggest being how overwhelmingly hostile everyone is. It's really, really sad and unfortunate. Second is when I see other HHr sites totally stealing my ideas. I know of one website in particular that's pretty popular and it's taken section titles, editorial ideas, even music video ideas from my site without any sort of credit toward me (not that that would make it better, but still). I think they think I don't care because my site is closed but it really drives me nuts. Moreso because a lot of their visitors probably don't realize it. What's hilarious is these are usually the first people to get mad when someone then goes and steals their ideas. Ironically enough, this particular site has this whole section about stealing content. Go figure. It's pretty sad. The final thing that gets on my nerves is people who keep visiting my site when they hate it. I still don't get it. My site is closed yet I still must have some sort of pull because I continue getting hate mail.

2. This site, if given a rating, is a high PG-13/R. Because of some adult content, I would not recommend children under the age of 14 or so visiting. There is a romantic theme to this site, which means romantic/adult situations, language and topics are conveyed in certain sections, like fanart, fanfic, Edited For Stupidity, music videos and various other sections.


3. I do not censor artists. Harry and Hermione are fictional people, therefore I do not feel the need to tell artists what they can and cannot draw in their artwork. I also don't censor people from using Dan and Emma images to make manipulations. Out of personal respect, I wouldn't post a manipulated photo of Dan and/or Emma in an NC-17 situation. I also don't censor fanfic writers. If the idea of adult situations concerning these two characters offends you, then you probably shouldn't be visiting a shipper site. I am not here to parent the world.

What won't you find on this site?

1. You will not find content about any other HP couple, news about the films or other actors unless it pertains to Harry and/or Hermione, or Dan and/or Emma, or any information that doesn't somehow pertain to my views on Harry and Hermione.


2. You will not find me bashing another site that doesn't support my ship. Yes, I'm aware there are sites out there and webmasters who feel the immature need to bash me or my visitors. These people are morons and I won't be a part of it. While I enjoy having fun with my ship and talking about frustrations with a few RHr shippers in general, I certainly won't bash websites the way I am bashed. I find ship arguing to be the dumbest thing I've ever heard of, and I won't be a part of it if at all possible.


3. You will not find evidence of Harry and Hermione. I don't view anything I have here as evidence, proof, or fact. It is simply my view and what I see when I read the books or watch the films. If anyone comes here and finds what I have to say interesting, that's great. But I'm not here to convert anyone. This site was made for me, not to get people to like the pairing. But I'm happy they do!

•  PROBLEMS WITH THE WEBSITE
Trouble with Pages or Images:


"Sometimes I try to open a direct link to an image on your site and it doesn't work. Why is this?"

Because I have the ability to prevent hotlinking. To read more about what hotlinking is, go here. When anyone tries to open a direct link to an image, my server reads it as someone trying to display an image using my bandwidth (like on a message board) and doesn't allow it. Sometimes trying again works, other times, you have to try the main images index. Sorry!

"I'm having trouble with with another visitor on your site:"

Please contact me immediately. I will not put up with people harassing visitors of my site. I will report them!

Guestbook Problems:


"My entry in your guestbook was edited/deleted...why?"

If you flame me, my site or anything else I think is uncalled for, you will simply be deleted. If there's something in your post I think shouldn't be there, such as comments to another poster or really bad language, I'll usually just edit it out. My guestbook is also NOT a message board. It isn't there for you to communicate with me or other posters. Please mail me if you have questions, don't post them there!

"You responded back to me in your guestbook making fun of me. Why?"

Because you're an idiot and your idiocy should be seen and poked fun of by me and the world.
