Date: 2002-09-27 11:17 am (UTC)It's Banned Books Week, and they were doing a crossover thing at FA, but I didn't get mine written in time (unless I do it before 7pm tonight, which I doubt). I was going to do a crossover between HP and Sex using Madonna's essay on her vagina ("I love my pussy . . . ") but rewritten to be about a broom. Wasn't sure if Oliver or Harry was speaking or how "metaphoric" to be. Ah well, perhaps if I get home in time this evening . . .
