I got that backwards. young *Teddy* and adult *Harry*. Bah, but yes.

Oh man I don’t remember that one either! Unless you mean the one where Teddy ends up with James Potter? (it opens with toddler Teddy being shown James as a baby and being VERY UNIMPRESSED.) That one is technically complete but the very initial posting of it had no link to the second and third chapters so some people do think it’s incomplete. Whole thing is here if you want it.

I read Stealing Harry the way other people eat comfort food.

I hear that a remarkable amount, actually, that Stealing Harry is comfort reading, which I love to hear. I’ve put some thought into it and I think it’s because Stealing Harry basically opens with a happy ending. Like, the entire premise of the story is “this starts out better” because it comes from the idea that an adult sees something wrong and fixes it. 

There is conflict in the story and pain and unhappiness, but the characters face all of that from a position within a much stronger community -- Harry has adults who support him in canon, but in Stealing Harry they are actively present and constantly fighting for him in a way that’s absent in canon. This isn’t necessarily a criticism of canon -- Harry is the protagonist in the books and needs to have a certain level of unsafety for the narrative to work. Whereas in Stealing Harry it’s arguably Remus and Sirius who are the protagonists, and casting adults with social and economic power as the protagonists makes for a book where the former protagonist can be a child in a way Harry can’t in the canon.

You're Internet!Sam in our household. None of the rest of my family is fannish, but I get asked for updates on your life periodically...

Aw, that’s nice! Say hi to them for me. 

Every once in a while my mum turns to me and says “don’t put this on the internet”. Usually I listen to her, but not always :D

I'm trying to make a Magnificent 7 (2017) vid for my friend, but the ripping program I've been using (ImTOO) doesn't have a 2.35:1 ratio setting, only 16:9 and 4:3. So I'm getting these giant black bars... What programs can I use that are set up for this aspect ratio?

Unless you have a 2.35:1 monitor, the bars will show up in the file regardless. Converting the file into a different format would also cause unattractive stretching of the program.  For what it’s worth, I would render the file as is, and then change the aspect ratio (or scale if you’re in Premiere Pro) to only “zoom in” to a specific part of the scene and therefore rendering the black bars null and void.  Hope this helps!

"I don't know what you mean, Robert."

"We've all done something we're a little ashamed of, you know, something where the photos come back to haunt us, because we had to pay rent -- "

"No, I'm a hundred percent proud of that photograph. Look at me fucking rocking that technicolor dreamcoat. I've got a badass awesome sunset behind me, my jeans are undone, Joseph's about to get down, Robert. No shame. No fear."

"...okay then."

"Do you need a hug, Robert? It's okay to feel shame, but you should never let your shame guide you."

"I'm not sure what I'm feeling now, to be honest." 

"Let's hug it out, and then go find Chris and make him buy us coffee."

"I knew you were my favorite."
