The internet situation is in crisis mode again at Spinner's End. I'm mildly stoic about it. That is, I rave and rant inwardly while thinking up alternative ways to get my WIP from my (internet-wise useless) laptop to my mail for my darling beta. What I ought to do is finish the damned story. Which is why I'm reccing stuff, of course. Anything to keep me from actual work.

Here's a missing scene from OotP that badly needed writing. It's set when Minerva returns from St Mungo's after the stunner attack. Harry and the others have just left. Characteristically, Harry left without saying something nice to his Head of House, who just gave 50 points to bloody Gryffindor. He might have come up with 'glad you're not dead, Professor', he might even have managed something really tactful (that's stretching it, I know). But there it is.

Anyhow, Snape and McGonagall continue their talk. Go read it.

So sorry about the internet woes! "Fair" is lovely; thanks for the rec. I always thought Harry was much more than usually clueless and self-absorbed in that scene. I mean, yeah, his "mongrel godfather" had just died, but you'd think that might make him even more appreciative of those who hadn't.

So sorry about the internet woes! Thanks for commiserating. Hope to finish the RPS draft - and to get it to you for your invaluable assistance - sometime this week.
Remind me that I never want to do anything with 'short' in it again. I did for Truth be Told, and in the end that was a not-too-ugly baby. So I thought a second one might be fun. Now I remember what the writing felt like, and I want an epidural. Or a double Calvados. Or a guillotine. Anything, really.

I'll look forward to it! And I do hope you went with the double Calvados over the epidural, but, you know, whatever gets you throught the night. . .

Yes, "missing scenes"-FF are up on top of my priorities...and I cling to canon, too - now this is either me being totally unadventurous, or very respectful towards the original author... I don't know - maybe both...

And as I wish JKR had called the thing "Minerva McGonagall and the Troublesome Trio" or some such, missing teacher scenes are my favourites!

Hope the internet situation resolves itself quickly! I sweat blood every time my laptop can't find our wireless, hoping there's nothing wrong...

That story was lovely! And Harry was very obnoxious in that scene, as he is so often...

Well, we have a connection on one PC, but I can't work from my laptop, can't access documents on the main pc, and can't send documents over the mail.
And it looks as it'll last some time - a week at least.
Anyhow, glad you liked the story!

I might be missing something here, but how about memory sticks? That's what I did at uni when we didn't have internet at home.
