It was terribly bitter-ifying! I was spoiled for the fact that somebody died, but I didn't know who it was. I still remember sitting there, cheerfully devouring the book, trying to guess who was going to bite it. Was it Mr. Weasley? Professor McGonagall? Hagrid? All sad, to be sure -- but, I serenely announced to all my friends, as long as it wasn't Sirius Black, I'd be okay with it. They gave me a lot of pitying looks because they were all spoiled.

I also remember throwing the book across the room.

I LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS TOO. Totally with you on the happy endings and fix-it fic, so I'm also looking forward to reading the entries. But yeah, "happy" is an awfully vague prompt to inspire specific ideas, especially when it's your default mindset anyway.

*FLAIL*

I had one good idea I was saving up for the darkfic challenge, so I was hoping to get to use it (and, um, not have to think of anything new for this week). Happy Endings also seems like it would have been a better theme for the final week, but whatever, the mods don't have to cater to my sense of aesthetic. *g*
