The Doorway: a panfandom game

Have Guitar, Will Rock.

Any requests?

They say should should do something that scares you once in a while. I'm not a fan of crowded places, but in keeping with that idea I've decided to go to the Prom. Last thing I went to like that was the Yule Ball and I wasn't in the crowd.

If you see me loitering by the door, looking like I may leg it, please grab me and help me face the fear. I promise not to hex you.

How did I celebrate being adult sized again? Got blitzed, played an open mic set and crashed out for the whole of Sunday. Back at work today, can't wait. We're getting new guitars in and I love unwrapping them, they smell so good...

Back home we have this love potion called Amortentia which smells like your favourite ever scents. So it's different for each person. Mine was always new guitar smell, hickory and honey.

What would yours be? Open question to whoever wants to answer.

Hi! Umm I see I'm not the only one with an age problem. I tried Finite Incantatem on myself and it didn't work. But I don't ken if that's because I'm six and I couldn't really control my magic then. I have managed to turn my hair blue... by accident.

I'm really tiny I can't remember being this wee, but I suppose I must have been. I have to jump to hit the 9 button in the lift.

It's Kirley, by the way.

That band was AWESOME.

I'm still buzzing. Going to be dopey at work today. But so worth it.

Any of you musically inclined people want to get together and have a bash at playing some songs? I miss playing in a group and it could be fun?

Let me know.

Some people are so understanding and generous no matter who you are or where you have come from. Then there are others who still judge you just because you weren't born here (I'm not just talking about us Tessaractonians).

I'm lucky enough to have an employer who falls into the first category. He saw this was happening and he has two teen aged boys who wanted to go, so he bought them, and me tickets. I suppose I will be in the responsible adult role. But he said, "I think you should see them. It may help."

Band therapy. Maybe I do need it. Godric knows, I miss the lads like crazy.

Fuck. What is this shit? Am I hallucinating again? I haven't done that since we got off the islands.

So they said I should introduce myself but they also said I'd been here before, which is a bit screwy because I think I'd remember if I was in New York, living in a tower owned by Tony Stark. Anyway. I'm Jason Brody. Apparently I'm from a video game. I'm still not convinced this isn't a hallucination.

The novelty of waking up in someone else's bed is not one likely to wear off any time soon.

FILTERED TO HP VERSE

Who is all here from our home? Don't worry, Albus, this isn't a convoluted plan to get you to socialize. I'm genuinely curious.

I was looking up a few places for open mic night, and I was wondering if anyone else around here likes to play guitar. I'm looking to find a passable used one, but once I get it, it would be cool to play with other people.

People keep coming up to me in the street and hugging me, saying they're proud of me and am glad I'm better. I keep trying to explain I'm not who they think I am, but it seems cruel when they're only being nice and supportive of one of their heroes.

Maybe I should start using glamours on myself so I look different?

How is your job going? I went and bought some Smarties yesterday and thought of you. Thanks for showing me that shop. It's been a life saver when I'm homesick.

Do you know Rupert Giles? I'm going to his shop for a meeting tonight. He reminds me of my drummer's Dad. But that's not the reason I'm going!

Are you still willing to show me that rock club?

I think we should be taking our time here more seriously. As such, Widdershins will be starting a group for the discussion of cross-world laws of magic. I was thinking of meeting Wednesday nights at the shop, perhaps 7 or thereabouts so as to not interfere with work. What I am envisioning is pulling together magic users from different worlds such that we can address the similarities and differences in magic across experiences, and perhaps learn from one another, brainstorm to assist those who are dealing with drastically different rules of metaphysics, and somewhat selfishly, how a magic shop can meet the sundry needs of magic users. I can provide snacks, but will suggest it be BYOB.

The address is 290 Thompson in Greenwich Village.

Today is my birthday. Today is also his birthday. You have to admit, the fact that I not only look like him, but was born on the same day is quite weird. But the fact that I was born a year earlier is even more so. Considering I'm physically only 28 now and he's turning 41.

Happy Birthday, Face Twin. Hope you have a good one... even if you probably will never read this.

I wish Squirrel was here to hug. Oh well.

Happy Sunday everyone!

For cooking class we have to make something ourselves and bring it in. I don't know what to make. I have't cooked by myself before. I'm nervous. I haven't done good in class so far. I don't get cooking. I eat things not cooked. Much better like that.

As anyone's face doubles done anything interesting lately? Like, win awards or such? Anyone... with the music there, Grammys, or what not?


Because this happened.

Is JK Rowling the network administrator? Or did I miss something crucial?

GROUP TEXT TO ALL POTTERVERSE GRYFFINDORS (NOT HARRY) & TONKS:

» Harry and I are going for pizza
» Wanna come?
» Should be fun

You know, if I wear a hat just so (and I can since it's cold as bollocks out there), no one can see my scar. Then if I'm not wearing my glasses, some people think I'm either Percy Jackson or the actor who played him Logan something or other. So that's better than the whole "OH MY GOD YOU'RE HARRY FREAKING POTTER" or something that I get whenever I go to the park and play Quidditch with the Muggles. But they at least have stopped staring. I've been playing chaser for them though, because seeking is boring when you're not playing for real.

Now that we have brooms that fly and such (thanks, Rose, you're brilliant), I'd like to invite you all to a pick up Quidditch game. I called this place called the YMCA that has a gymnasium and it's big enough and private enough that we can do it there. Plus it'll be heated and such so we won't freeze. So if you want to play, I got the gymnasium on this Saturday morning from 9 to 1. We'll have brooms and such, and we can play. Just let me know you're coming. I have to put people's names down on a list for the people at the YMCA.

If you have a preferred position, you should let me know too...

Oh, and Dorcas, I think maybe I would be okay with going to the theme park place. Maybe we can all try and go in April? They're having a Quidditch World Cup down there. It might be really fun to go then, right?

Hello?

Did I fix this?

Never leave your netbook on the floor, I trod on mine. It couldn't take my weight and I'm not exactly heavy. The bloke at the computer shop quoted a ridiculously high price so I decided to see if magic would work. Seems to be fine at the moment.

Umm, does anyone ken the policy about bringing people back to the building? Like friends from the outside? Are we allowed?
