Woof! Good stuff. Tasty stuff. High-capsacin-packed "religious experience chili-sauce" stuff. i like it.

LMP AND Naaramare, if you're both interested i'll send you the link to where i've got Ch. 0 - 8 of my fanfic up on AOL space for my test readers, and i'll make you both this bet, that LMP will be able to identify the odd bit of Judeo-Christian-influenced symbolism, and Naaramare will probably have an equally lengthy list of classical pagan allusions by the time the saga is done (why, because i'm an equal opportunity exploiter!)

BTW LMP, your assessment of men vs. women is very much right on the nailhead, no matter how sometimes it may seem cliche'd. (which may or may not be as true in the metaphorical continuum as it is in the physical. As within, so without?)

and i've only got one observation on why Potter catches all of HDM's rightful share of flack -- Potter's not just popular, it's popular with -- gasp, shudder -- CHILDREN. Young, impressionable CHILDREN... who are anything BUT fools.

s.t.

(meditating on that. om........)
