Re: Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

As I mentioned, I've been slowly working on chapter three of this story. Here's a look at what I have written so far. Kudos to anyone who recognizes the significance of the flower mentioned at the end of these scenes. ********** September 8th, 1994. Dear Diary, Well, I feel stupid. When I read about...

Re: Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

Or he knows from the kind of malfunction what type of wood to try next, and roughly what core material may help refine the result. When I think about it, he's had decades of experience at his job, and probably takes an educated guess for the initial wand based on things like family history ("I ...

Re: Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

So you don't think that poor harmonics would account for it? If by the test wave they are unconsciously channeling magic into the wand, I can see a bad fit causing unexpected results. Plus, not every witch or wizard would have such strong reactions in wand-fitting that Harry had.

Re: Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

Yes, but Wizards do not seem to have a formal and reliable test of magic like the Witches did in that episode. Neville's uncle was attempting to provoke accidental magic, and succeeded. That Neville would have died if he hadn't seems to be a non-issue. It's kind of strange. Bewitched had many ways t...

Re: Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

Of course she's aware of who Methuselah was. Even if she weren't Christian (or Jewish or Muslim, for that matter), she'd know because it comes up in expressions like "as old as Methuselah". It was just my memories of Heinlein's books that made me choose the word for Luna to use. Thinking o...

Re: Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

Um You have Tabitha ignorant of the term Methuselan? I'm almost certain it gets used between Endora and Dr. Bombay in the same season where an attempt is made to convert Derwood into a Warlock. The term was borrowed from Robert Heinlein's "Future History" series, which began with the book...

Re: Nanao-kun has arrived!

Is it possible to have a '-' in a username though? Spok is right. That character was disallowed because it was abused by spammers to get otherwise banned words through registration before I had to give up and just process manually. I don't even remember how I banned it. I'll have to look and see. E...

Re: Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

I found out later that my idea about how they age is actually close to canon. People who have researched the series estimate that it takes about 100 years for a Witch to grow up based on things said in various episodes. You have a good point. Since they are effectively immortal, I imagine that Wizar...

Re: Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

Because of confusion in terms, I refer to Bewitched magicals as Witches - note the capital w. HP magicals are Wizards. When talking about individuals, men are either warlocks or wizards, depending on series, and women are witches in both. The Witches don't have a magical education like the Wizarding...

Tabitha's Diary - A Bewitched / HP cross

I'm not going to post the story here, since I already have it on ff.net. I've written two chapters of a crossover between Bewitched and Harry Potter and I'm working on a third. If anyone here remembers Bewitched, or has seen it on one of the retro cable channels, I would like very much to get some c...

Re: The Queen of Fukufics

Yes, this died off after the first awarding due to lack of participation. The original awardees have held the titles ever since. Still, It was a very good thought of yours to publicly recognize Spokavriel for positive contributions to the forum. While we do not have any system of rewards in place no...

Re: Loss of service last night

I thought I'd never see that site, again... ^_^; (It actually isn't the first time this has happened, as I recall.) Different circumstances. Our previous loss-of-service incidents were because we were taking up too much of the system resources on a shared server - they kept shutting us down for usi...

Re: Loss of service last night

...and how can this be a abandoned/unused site on their server when the link shows current use. The wagon wheel festival site is active on another server and using another IP address, as I understand it. They'd transferred it during a service upgrade, and It was set as inactive on the server that h...

Loss of service last night

The site was down for awhile last night, starting around 8:45 Central Time. That was due to the server our site is hosted on having to be rebooted, during which time people saw messages that the site was taking too long to respond. Once it rebooted, a glitch caused the server to redirect browsers to...
