50+ Things Atalanta is No Longer Allowed to do at Hogwarts -- put down all beverages and/or food items, have inhaler handy, do not read in the hearing of those who will want to know why there is laughter. Helps to have read Skippy's List first. Also helps to be knowledgeable about HP and other fandom injokes.

So, about the only one that I didn't already understand or could figure out was #38: Professor Flitwick does not wish to be addressed as "Admiral Naismith".

Are you willing to explain that one? I suspect that part of my problem is not remembering a Professor Flitwick...

Thank you!

Flitwick: Charms professor, very very short. Very, very, VERY short.

I thought it might've been something like that but at the time I had a headache and needed to be away from a CRT. Thanks for the answer!

*grin* You're welcome.

As I recall, there are references to him being sat on books or something in the HP books.

I'm not sure knowledge of fandom in-jokes is required. There are maybe 3 or 4 where I think I missed some nuances, but there wasn't a one of them that I totally missed the point of. And while I've got a moderately good knowledge about HP canon, I'm almost completely ignorant of the fanon.

That said, ROTLFMAO!!

This was fandom in the general sense -- for example, Kenny.

Ah. Likewise the tribble, Naismith, Nazgul, etc. refs. Got it.

38. Professor Flitwick does not wish to be addressed as "Admiral Naismith".

Bwahahahaha!!!

(Sorry for posting this to the wrong entry the first time.)

*giggle* Indeed.

Oh, my. Now that would be an interesting crossover. Professor Lord Auditor Vorkosigan, DADA.

Oh, HELL yeah! ::puts hand to head and fakes a Trelawny voice:: I can see it now...by the end of the story, all of the students, including the Slytherins who fully *intended* to become DE's, will be under Miles' command, and they will be his little army, with Harry as his 2IC, and they will defeat Voldemort, all whilst avoiding all other Professor's injunctions to "keep the children *safe*!" and dodging Dumbledore at all turns, because "you never know; he might tell us to *stop*, and that just wouldn't do."

Scary.

I really need to reread the Vorkosigan books. Been too damn long. Unfortunately, I'd need to borrow them off a friend. I'm not sure if they're still in crates or if they're somewhere in that cavern he calls a library.

I do not have a Dalek Patronus.


I will stop referring to showering as "giving Moaning Myrtle an eyeful".

I could quote that one all day. It's hilarious.

[identity profile] iroshi.livejournal.com 2005-04-15 10:25 am (UTC)(link)
Heh. Nope, my Patronus is a Companion. *grin*

Erm. Is that in the sense of the spirit-horse, the person trailing around with Dr. Who, or the courtesan?

[identity profile] iroshi.livejournal.com 2005-04-15 12:50 pm (UTC)(link)
*giggle* #1.

They're spirits in the form of horses, usually reincarnated Heralds, in the Mercedes Lackey Heralds of Valdemar book series. ^_^

I need to add Mercedes Lackey to my list of authors to read, then.

Fair warning: her earlier books are writing-for-the-love-of-writing-and-a-story-to-tell; her more recent ones have more of the flavor of nicely iced but still slightly stale gingerbread men.

[identity profile] snowelf.livejournal.com 2005-04-15 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
I will look for the early ones, then. Sad how that happens to so many good authors. They start good, then get steadily worse.

[identity profile] amberfox.livejournal.com 2005-04-16 02:19 am (UTC)(link)
And may I amend to Az's Lackey statement: her early books are fanfic for her own universe. She's fen from way back. Then she got bitchy.

[identity profile] snowelf.livejournal.com 2005-04-16 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
All the more reason to avoid her later works if she got bitchy. I can take only so much bitchiness.
