gm_weasley has written a really good defence of Tonks in DH. To be honest, I’m keeping my head down to avoid reading any DH Tonks wank because I just don’t have the patience for it right now, but I have a feeling it’s out there.
Secondly, Vid Recs
I got so addicted to youtube fan vids last semester, I think they actually kept me sane during the worst of my assessment clusters. Anyway, I thought I would rec some because I really appreciate then and really wish I could make them.
Still Here by asyouxlikeit - PotC - CotBP Norrington – Helped immensely with the grief and because it makes me grin like an idiot every time I watch it.
Somewhere a Clock is Ticking by DecadentDream - Heroes – Sylar – I’m not as big a fan of Syler as many who watch Heroes, but that didn’t stop me from really enjoying the vid. And the song fits the character incredibly well.
Scattered by di00br - Doctor Who – Tenth Doctor – Okay, use of one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite bands, really endeared it too me, but also the editing is amazing. It’s a really fast cut vid for a fast song and it’s amazing to watch.
The Black Parade by Calapine - Doctor Who – The Doctor & Companions – 44 years of a certain emo Time Lord and his motley bunch of travelling companions in one vid for the win.calapine makes awesome vids, that’s my favourite of the bunch.
The Thoroughly Decent Harry Sullivan by chocolatesal - Doctor Who – Harry Sullivan – Because I adore Harry and he is such an underrated companion, and is a hero, or at least attempts to be.
And finally, I’ve done a bit of a fic canon compliance stock-take and discovered that of my Harry Potter fics, 8 are still canon compliant, 4 are a rather dodgy and 11 have been jossed. I also did a bit of a review of my PotC fic, only to find that they pretty much all are AWE compliant. A Good Man is a little bit dodgy, but I think it works.
For anyone interested - the breakdown:
Canon Compliant (8)
Auror Disciplinary Committee
Convenience
Familiar Debate
On Loss
Paper Aeroplanes
The Ropes
Unravelling
Vanity, Thy Name is Hippogriff
Questionable (4)
Beneath the Sheets, Distraction, Night Shift and Prisoners of War – Considering the baby there was not much time for those events to take place without knowledge of the baby, though they could have done.
Jossed (11)
These can actually be groups into five categories at to why-
Were set during the time frame of DH so were never going to be compliant – Ghost in the Interrogation Room, Growing & Walking Down Corridors
Various characters died – Dear Harry, Hostile Takeover, No One You Can Save, The Illusion of the Whole & Weasley’s and Whiskey
Various characters lived – Goyle’s War
Characterisation issues – Potential
Jossed by JKR pre-DH – Twenty Random Fact about Nymphadora Tonks (though I got a few right).
