OK -- the writer knows NOTHING and I mean nothing about Harry Potter (not even that it was a series of BOOKS first), but the thesis on how Twitter can spread word-of-mouth on a movie is interesting. Course, this is nothing new -- remember all the websites about the Lord of the Rings movies? It also ignores Facebook. And I've read more comments about Harry Potter on Facebook than anywhere else, from friends whose opinion I trust. (Everyone I've friended on Facebook I know in the real world). --Olivia

Music Meme / Writing Prompts -- July 2009

                                          

Hey, I know this is quite late, but it's been a busy month.  This is how it works, as always.  Set iTunes, your Ipod, or other music device to "shuffle" or "random", then write down the first line of every song played for 10 - 20 songs.  I'm going to list 15 here.  Then, guess or try to figure out what the song title is and who the artist is who sings it.  Answers will be posted in one week.  Lines can be used as inspiration for fanfic.  If you write a fic using these prompts let me know and please provide a link to your fic.  Thanks and have fun!
