No, ElJay/6A, that's not a fucking suggestion.

We interrupt the impending Potterdämmerung for this important announcement:

ElJay's clarified "illegal and harmful content"

I'm sure you've noticed the robustness of the ElJay servers these past few days. And such interesting timing to post this, too, what with said impending Potterdämmerung and Otakon happening on the same weekend, and causing the fen to lay low and away from their blogs. Like last time, the management of Sketch and Destroy Fandom in the Raw gives a list of links to discussion.

• Fanthropology Post on these events, with their own link roundup.
• Fandom_Wank Post on these events.
• Alternatives to LiveJournal, courtesy of liz_marcs (I'm also Chofi at JournalFen and InsaneJournal, just in case...)
• Backing up journal entries, courtesy of brown_betty

Well, I've made it under the wire (thought not for Greenwich Time. Damn.). Not a lot of blogging tonight, or during this weekend, for that matter. Still, I figure there should be a little fandom love right before the end.

First, some icons. Started off with the epic wank for book six, and how the parties invovled refered to themselves. Obviously, the parallels needed to be drawn. You know the drill:

            

Next, a playlist! We can't have an apocolypse without a playlist!

John Williams - Prologue
Required by law when referencing Harry Potter. It's an earworm, too.

Carl Orff - O Fortuna
Connotations of major battles, as whenever this song is used in media, you see some sort of dramatic conflict. The lyrics themselves have whining about how things aren't the way they should be. Not fair, guys.

R.E.M. - It's the End of the World As We Know It
Well, the end of new canon, so the world is ending. Also, crazy batshit for the impending explosion of wank.

Demon Lemon - The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny
This is it. Book seven. Final battle. "Only one will survive, I wonder who it will be?" As if there's even a freaking doubt...

Tom Lehrer - We Will All Go Together When We Go
We're all going to be drowned by the wank, so let's just enjoy it, okay?

Richard Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries
Hey, it's the Potterdammerung, right? We need to have a nice reference to Norse mythology.
