•  CONTACTING ME:

You can contact me at any time at kate@harryloveshermione.com or katejones123@gmail.com. Note that I may not answer mail if your question is answered here already. It goes without saying that I don't respond to flames or net-speakers except in the EFS section if I want to display your idiocy for the world to see.

• CONTACTING THE CAST:

I do not know Dan and/or Emma's private mail addresses, home addresses and or phone numbers. Even if I did, I would never give them out. Please do not mail me claiming you know them. A note: be very careful when someone claims they do know one of their e-mail addresses or numbers. They are almost positively fakers and are not friends of the actors. Friends probably wouldn't give that information away, now would they? They do, however have fan mail addresses! You can mail them here (thanks to DanRadcliffe.com):

• SITE SECTION FAQ:

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. If you're in school and you have to write an essay, and you go to Sparknotes, copy an essay and change a few things around to suit your needs, then present it to your teacher as your own... this is plagiarism. Well, it's the same thing if you come to my-- or anyone else's-- website, take pieces of things you like, change a few things just enough to suit your needs and then claim it as your own.

I don't want ANY confusion so here are some things to remember:

What is creative content stealing?
Creative content stealing is when you take a creative idea that belongs to someone else and either duplicate it completely or use the overall idea to make your own website better. This does not refer to content copyrighted to the studio, JK Rowling, et al. No one can claim these things are stolen by another website because, technically, we are ALL stealing them.

Book moments and quotes are used on many sites and therefore it isn't stealing to do your own. Edited for Stupidity is NOT my idea, as stated directly on the front page of the EFS section. Images and movie clips belong to the powers that be, namely JK Rowling, Scholastic, Warner Bros., et al. Fanfic and fanart belongs to their respective owners and you SHOULD NOT post them on your site without direct permission from the artists/writers!

Creative content, such as editorials, columns, basic ideas that make my website unique belong to me. Stealing my website name to creative your own Yahoo Group, stealing my layout, stealing my editorial ideas... this is STEALING. 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 wrong. No one feels flattered when they find their ideas on your website. Stealing their content only makes you seem unoriginal, unable to come up with your own ideas, attention-hungry, egotistical and flat out dumb.

• So I'm saying, for the record -- so you won't be surprised when I ask you to remove the content or I'll contact your webhost-- DO NOT STEAL CONTENT FROM MY WEBSITE. This includes my polls, fashion police, recaps, movie reviews and squee scale, website name (hermionelovesharry is, yes, a blatant rip off! Come up with your own name!), music video clips (although my videos suck- why would anyone want to steal them?), and MY personal fanfic. 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.

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 the other day and it just drove me nuts. It's such a little thing--- why copy it??...without even so much as a note to me asking if it would be okay is just really disappointing and smarmy. It's a slap in the face to all the hard work I've done. Many webmasters feel this way when they see their music videos stolen, their fanart taken, their fanfic plagiarized, their layouts stolen, etc., etc.

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?? Thanks!

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 because I simply don't have time or energy.

Special note: 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. I know it may seem petty but you have to understand where I'm coming from on this. I worked really, really hard to create the recaps and they're a big reason why my site became popular. They're kind of a staple of my site and I'm very proud of them, silly as they are. So when I see someone else come in and just start doing recaps to gof or even the movies i've already done.... it's like a slap in the face. I'm very possessive of my creative content. You would be, too! Trust me when I tell you that you should come up with something fun and original of your own... people will love it and you'll feel better knowing it cam from your own mind!

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. Please remember to credit them if you're advertising my EFS section.

HLH Yahoo Group:

I am no longer accepting members for the HLH Group. Sorry! However, current members can read all group info and rules here.

Other Stuff

All editorials are property and copyright to me and my website, with exception to those materials that I use that belong to JK, Bloomsbury/Scholastic or Warner Bros. You MAY NOT place my editorials on your site. Please feel free to link to them from your site but DO NOT steal them. Obviously, common sense should tell you not steal anything from my website as this is generally a bad thing. Fanfic recs are mostly mine, but I've also posted some as favors to other people. I am not accepting any more. But thanks anyway!

"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. 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. 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 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. We were expecting that Ron and Hermione would truly 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 see RHr being kind to each other for once, 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.

HG could have been a lot better as well. 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.

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.

I'm also 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.

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; it's disturbing that fans can be "bought off" so easily. I still ship for HHr and love them together despite my feelings for the author, 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 worked extremely hard to update the various sections of the site while also dealing with grad school, a full time job and 2 children. I was up for hours at night completing some site projects because it was something that brought me a lot of pleasure. 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!

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 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 a ship that is agreeable to the writer.

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?"

After HHr, my fav fanfic ship is trio (Harry, Hermione, Ron). It's delicious 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 great!). I also love Hermione/Lupin. LOVE them. I like Hermione/Malfoy as well (check out the best H/D fic, We'll Always Have Paris by Melissa D). I love how Hermione "changes" Malfoy in these fics, or vice-versa. It's horrible in real life but, dammit, I love these fics. 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.

So those are really the only ships I read. I'm not really that interested in other canon ships other than HHr.

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.

Name: Kate J. (online alias), Jennifer in real life

Real Life: I'm married to a sexy beast named Michael and we have 2 children.

Birthday: September 29th 197?-something.

Education/Experience: B.A. in English Literature and Political Science; M.B.A. Columbia University/University of Massachusetts (transfer) with a focus in Decision, Risk and Operations. I also teach web design to an online class (mail me if you're interested in joining a summer session). I run a web design business, JenniferDesigns-Online.com, and work as an executive aquisitions manager for a small publishing firm in Boston, MA.

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 and Television Without Pity (mucho hilarious).

Favorite TV Shows: - currently -: House, Project Runway, Top Chef, American Dad, 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 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. - R.I.P. -: Alias, Sex and the City, Buffy, Dark Angel, Charmed and The X-Files. I was an obsessive X-Files freak before it turned into a suckfest.

Favorite Music: Everything, really, but I tend to love soundtracks and themes the most. My favorite band at the moment is Coldplay. There's no way I could choose my favorite theme, but I made up a list of some of my favorite themes and songs!

Favorite Actress/Actor: Jennifer Garner, Dakota Fanning, Alyson Hannigan, Emma Thompson | Alan Rickman, Hugh Laurie, Ben Kingsley, Kevin Kline, Michael Vartan (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.

Hobbies: Snark, busting balls at work, web design, being online, writing and lots of music.

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 even a year later.

1. This is a Harry and Hermione shipper site, so you'll find all types of content on those two characters. All content on this site has been made by myself, Kate J, and is copyright to me unless otherwise noted. This site expresses my own personal views and is not at all affiliated with JK Rowling or Warner Brothers. If you don't like the idea of Harry and Hermione, then you probably shouldn't visit this site.


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.

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, that 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!

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.

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

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.

I will, but not for free. I run a business that does webdesign, so I'd be happy to design a full website for you for a fee. Scroll up to read more! If you're interested, contact me. I also design any type of site, not just HP.

AOL, IE, Buckeye-Express, Net Zero, Netscape and Mozilla/Firefox and Opera are the main browsers that are compatible with this website. I cannot confirm the validity of any other browsers. I know that many people use other browsers but I can't possibly check every single one.

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!

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

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!

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

1. "I'm having problems with a member."
Contact me. Although I freely kick out any member that causes problems I can see, if it's happening offlist, try to save the e-mails and contact me about them. I won't hesitate to get rid of a problem member. We have only had one problem member so far, which other members mailed me about and who then gave me a problem, so she was booted. So please don't be shy, but PLEASE don't bring up problems on the group. I'd rather handle it offlist.


2. "I'm having technical problems."
Again, contact me. I'll see what I can do. Keep in mind that Yahoo is the wonkiest of all the wonky groups. Sometimes it frells up and fixes itself.


3. "I'm incredibly bored, annoyed, etc. and want to leave the group."
Click on "unsubscribe" at the bottom of the group page and you'll be taken out of the group and will no longer receive messages.


4. "Why can't I unsend a message once it's sent?"
Because you can't unsend mail from internet hosts, like IE or hotmail or a Yahoo group. So be careful what you say...it's permanent!


5. "Why don't you have a moderator?"
So far the group has been wonderful and everyone is great. It's probably the best group I've ever been on. Very nice people and no one is rude. Everyone is funny and having a good time. That's how it should be. If someone comes in trying to rock the boat, I won't hesitate to simply kick them out. And before anyone writes me saying "well that's not fair. we can say what we want...it's a free country," remember that this is my group and I'll run it as I see fit. Being in this group means you've read and UNDERSTAND the rules, so you know beforehand that I will kick you out for any nonsense.

6. "What kind of convo's can I expect if I join the group?"
Adult conversations. The group, while being technically about HP and HHr is also a haven for adult fans of the series and expect some adult conversation to take place. Off topic conversation is also allowed to some extent. Bashing of actors and characters is not allowed but I do allow people to talk about specific reasons why they don't like a character. However, if I feel it begins crossing the "bashing" line I will contact you offlist with a warning and/or I will make it known on the group that it isn't appreciated. It's one thing to not like a ship or a character, but I do not tolerate flat out bashing.

Other conversations may include personal information which is why all group topics are restricted to the group. Also please note that, because the group tends to be about 80% female to 20% male, there's likely to be some gushing over the male actors. So...sorry guys. Of course, gushing of Emma has had its fair share too. ; )

7. "I have been removed from the group. Why?!"
One of three reasons: 1, you never post. Don't join this DISCUSSION group if you don't plan on participating. That doesn't mean you have to talk all the time, but if you've been on the list for 4 months and you've never said a word, then you really don't need to be here. 2, you're bouncing. Bouncing means that your inbox is constantly full so the mails bounce back to the group. If you have limited mailbox space, you should alter your settings to "no e-mail" and you can read the mails on the website instead. Otherwise, expect sometimes up to 60-100 mails during busy HP times. Or 3, you may have broken the rules. If you don't think you did, mail me and I'll be sure to investigate your mysterious removal.
