Oh wooooooow!!!!^^
I hadn't heard about that yet, but I am really looking forward to it^^  

[the-argonaut]

can't wait to read it! ^o^

 

[ScottieBears MiaKitty]

OMG OMG!!!! I can't wait that sounds amazing!!!! And it's going to be partially about Sirius!!!! *squee*  

[paraphernalia_101]

I'm excited to know more about the marauders! It is awesome that she is going to write about the hp world still, I thought she had left it?  

[FleurEvetteD]

Yeah, its good that we'll be reading more on the Marauders.  

[Minerva the Whore 4 Books]

I read the articles...It's going to be about James and Sirius. I love them and all, but why can't it involve Remus too? xp Ah well, I'm still looking forward to it. whee  

[ScottieBears MiaKitty]

Yeah I was a little put out about that too... cry I mean, Lupin is my second favorite... The only reason Sirius tops him is because... well I'm not quite sure why, I just love Sirius.... I think it's the whole 'tragic hero' type thing...

But regardless! I dunno, maybe Lupin was off doing his own thing at the time the story takes place... maybe they already suspected him of being a spy... question  

[turayza]

OMG! That's awesome!
I think Remus is a background-ish character, really.
Sirius is the godfather of the boy-who-lived, and James is the father. That 'ranks' them as 'more important', and Remus is just another friend.

-Wide eyes-

I can't believe it's taken me THIS long to get around to reading the story for charity. I was expecting something different, but I did really enjoy the lines:

Quote:

"Oh, our names, did you mean?" asked the first, as Anderson spluttered with rage."You should've said!

and

Quote:

"And don't forget: Elvendork! It's unisex!"

I liked the physical description of them both, too. smile
