Flashback of the Week

Remember when Casey Kasem used to do a flashback on American Top Forty every weekend?

I'm going to *try* to remember to start doing an HP Fandom Flashback every week, at least through the release of HBP in November, starting now.

This is my flashback for the first week of July, 2008. This fabulous quiz, created by mctabby in July, 2002, predated the release of Chamber of Secrets to movie theaters, but we'd already seen Christian Couslon as Tom Riddle in the trailers and interest in him, and in Dan's suddenly deeper voice, was heating up.

The quiz results also show an interesting mix of links to forum threads, Yahoogroups, and LJ comms that marked the transition of many HP fanfic writers among those three different modes of communications. And, of course, the quiz itself was on a GEOCITIES page. How many of you had one? And when was the last time you updated it? Or even looked back at it?

pre-DW SQUEEE

catharsis_o_s created a pair of wonderful - spoilery for DW 4.12! - icons for me - you can find them here.

AND! AND! AND!!!!!!!!!

The Sabrina-inspired J2 fic I requested from balefully is now up! I'm only in the middle of part one now, but it's so fantastic I had to rec it because it's just perfect. ( Balefully's summary behind the cut )

And as I wait for DW to finish and get online, I'm watching the kids play the wii, and realised that what I really want is a DW game for the wii. My dream game would let you be any Doctor or Companion or Bad Guy - if you're a Doctor, you can choose any companion you want - and it would have every location and character from the old and new series - or at least, every major one - and your wii-mote's nunchuck would be a sonic screwdriver and the easter egg would be the SNOG option.

Help.

If I have a download in 2 .rar parts, and I am supposed to un-RAR and join them with WINRAR, WTF DOES THAT MEAN>?


I mean, I have a licensed version of WINRAR and I see nothing that explains how to join the damned things, and nothing works when I click on them.


HELP!

ETA Answered, thanks! Cannot cope, off to [watch] TARDIS.

Can someone tell me the last five minutes?

Obv. spoilers in comments.

I had to leave but I saw it through ( the part with )
