	Don't forget the essays by pharnabazus (the only things posted in his journal) which would fall under your wizarding world/society/organization category. Great list! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	siriaeve 2005-01-18 10:42 am UTC (link)
	As far as I know, though, pharnabazus already posted a link to his essay on this community, and I was trying to compile a list of ones which hadn't. But thank you anyway! I appreciate the comment :) (Reply to this) (Parent)

The Crouch Novenna so belongs on this list. I know it's TBAY, but it's just divine. Expecto Patronum or How the WW works is also pretty intense. There is also K2K - which is a pretty clever theory.

I am very amused that you omissed a certain topic though - there is not one single ship essay topic to be found.

In other news: I have to be stopped. Especially when it comes to the Trio and/or Hermione.

*smacks forehead* I knew there was some stuff I'd forgotten! This was my project to keep myself ~~from going insane~~ amused during the Great LJ Blackout, and I was working almost entirely from bookmarks and my own memory - it's humbling to admit how crippled I am without my flist and my memories section to help me!

I am very amused that you omissed a certain topic though - there is not one single ship essay topic to be found.

*g* Which, I am afraid, once more reflects my own interests and preoccupations. I am not a great shipper, and tend not to read many shipping essays; and I'm sure you can tell from the size of some sections of this list where my interests tend to lie, and where my flist tends to take me. If you do know of any good sites which host shipper essays/LJ users who post essays - and of course your own! your brain is most shiny, and I have often meant to comment and tell you so - do let me know, and I might have a go at putting together a list of shipping essays. :)

Do not say that! More is always a good thing! *encourages*

It has a search engine that brings up a list of (at present) 28 Harry Potter ship essays here. (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	Thank you :) At the moment, I'm trying to work up the nerve to do this. I'm sure there are hundreds upon hundreds of shipping essays that have been written in the HP fandom, and attempting to catalogue them all would be... an interesting task, to say the least. g (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I've written an essay about the Harry/Snape slash pairing, at http://www.livejournal.com/community/snape_potter/378877.html. I'd be happy to re-post it here, but I don't know if the readers are that slash-tolerant. (I looked over a few of the slash related essays... I'd completely forgotten it's a controversial topic.)

We'd love it if you would re-post your essay here! This community is dedicated to discussion of any aspects of the Potterverse and its fandom - slash, het and gen topics are all equally acceptable. I know slash can be a controversial topic, but neither myself nor

fraught (my co-mod) would have the slightest problem with you posting your Snarry essay - as long as your essay is more than 150 words and not an obvious attempt at trolling, it is welcome here (and skimming quickly through yours, it definitely doesn't seem to fall into either of those two categories). I'm not sure how many of our readers are into slash, but I'm sure that even many of those who aren't will be more than willing to debate the topic in a polite and civilised manner :)

Look forward to seeing your post soon!

	This is a very helpful resource, thanks! I was wondering if ever you've encountered of an essay comparing the marauders to the biblical Peter, James, and John? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	siriaeve 2005-05-30 11:28 am UTC (link)
	Thank you :) I can't recall off-hand coming across an essay like that. Digging through my bookmarks, I've come across this one and this one. Aside from those two, I don't think I've run across one discussing that particular comparison. Sorry I can't be of more help! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	I seem to remember one that was just posted a couple of months ago, from someone in LJ. (although for the life of me I cannot remember who or how I found it) Those two editorials are also very very helpful. Thank you very much! :] (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

	siriaeve 2005-05-31 08:40 am UTC (link)
	If it was one on LJ, then I definitely haven't read it. Pretty much every essay I read goes straight in here, or it's in the community memories. If it's not in either of those two places, then I'm afraid I probably haven't run across it. Sorry! (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)

It's okay. Because FINALLY, I have found it! *is ecstatic*

After an hour (and agony of yesterday; also from sifting through January to April) or so of searching the back issues of the daily_snitch, I have found it!

It's Biblical Basis for J.K.Rowling’s MWPP Characterization by Lilian Cho. If you'd be adding this to the list of essays, Lilian has a note on distribution: "Please ask permission first. Give the proper credit to lilian_cho and link back to this post."

I'm completely in awe at your memories. It's very very well organized. I'm such a sucker for neatly organized ideas.

Ah, now my research paper can go on to its regular programming. :]

That's wonderful! I'm so happy to hear you've found it - I know myself for looking for things on LiveJournal that it can be a real pain at times unless people use their memories function.

I'll definitely be adding the post into this entry, to save future seekers the pain ;)

I'm completely in awe at your memories. It's very very well organized. I'm such a sucker for neatly organized ideas.

Thank you! It took me forever to get them all rearranged and sorted like that - LiveJournal's memory function isn't exactly the most user friendly at times - but I do get an enormous amount of satisfaction out of having everything neatly categorised. :)

Best of luck with your paper!

I know myself for looking for things on LiveJournal that it can be a real pain at times unless people use their memories function.

Ah, yes. But at the moment I was reading that essay, my mind was all "Very interesting, hmmm." and it was more of a lesiure reading. Little did I know that when school started, I would end up with proposing HP as a paper topic, now I went all "Isn't there an essay about the Marauders and Biblical parallels?" hence the mad scramble to find that essay and make it a part of the proposed sources before the deadline.

LiveJournal's memory function isn't exactly the most user friendly at times

I've learned my lesson. Now I've safely added any link of interest or relevance to my del.icio.us linkage page. (Which I think is much handy for links in and out of LJ)
