AHHH! Life is so hectic right now. hd_worldcup is starting to get under way for me as a backup writer, and as always, my timing is impeccable: I'll be in San Francisco with some friends for spring break for the next five days and won't have much time to write at all. BUT I'LL DO IT! Even if it means I have to sit in our hotel room all five days and plan/outline/write like a fiend! Because... well, if I want to get a fic done in two weeks, then I don't really have any other options.

One of my LA-dwelling IDF friends got tickets to the AI dress rehearsal this Tuesday (!!!), but of course, like I said, my awesome ability to time shit stuck me in San Francisco until Wednesday night. This also means I won't be able to go to the 5:30 taping of Idol Extra on Wednesday I'd planned to go to. I'm pretty sure life hates me.

Anyway, the point of this entry was to post a few links:

German translation of Some Kind of Miracle by lapislazuli67

Italian translation of After the Epilogue by aku_rin

Both of them are fantastic (♥) and if you can read either of the languages, I highly recommend you go check out their translations!

On a side note, I've decided that I dislike the idea of a two-part DH. Especially one directed by David freakin' Yates. It already makes me want to shoot myself knowing that he's directing HBP, my favourite book in the series.

*** DH SPOILERS UP AHEAD ***




I was going to post a review of Deathly Hallows here, but seeing as I've already done so about eight hundred times in the past day, I decided against it. I'll just say three things: 1) JK Rowling is definitely a slash shipper and 2) I was slightly disappointed by the loose ends left hanging and some parts of the book, but not so much that I 3) didn't enjoy the book, because HARRY AND DRACO BOTH SURVIVED!!! That's all I really cared about, so I can't complain. Oh yeah, and I thought the whole Snape subplot was BRILLIANT. It was predictable, but the way JK Rowling wrote his death and his memories were just amazing. I couldn't stop crying.

Anyway, I wrote this after staying up all night to read DH, so some parts might not make sense :P
