Mistrunner Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 Marching band performed for the first time today! It was only for parents and stuff, but we went through the whole show and I think we did pretty well.

Maybe I'll change my mind when all the hype dies down, but that's where I am right now. :/

Like what..) We need to keep in mind that JKR basically isn't the author of the cursed child, it's mainly written by Jack Thorne. If you read it as a normal play script, it's not that bad

If you read it as a normal play script, it's not that bad My expectations were pretty low (no breaking canon, no excess of melodrama, no "Harry does something that should get him fired and it doesn't," no elements that sound like they were lifted from a bad fanfic) and they still weren't met. :/

I've read better stories on Fanfiction.net, stories that had less outlandish plots and better worldbuilding, and if this story does not exceed the quality of a story I read for free on the Internet, then I'm not going to consider it canon. 1

To be fair you can read Warbreaker for free on the Internet so that's actually a higher Standard than what it sounds like.

Brandon Sanderson is the Good Guy Greg of geekdom, though. In the "I'll write an amazing story that I could charge top dollar for and give it to you for free because I'm just that great" way. 4
Zathoth Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 You can technically find anything for free on the internet... Though things that are actually free, no using somewhat legally dubious means... that standard is still surprisingly high. Nightvale, xkcd, rwby, Worm...
Briar King Posted August 6, 2016 Posted August 6, 2016 Olympics. I is a happy Cajun atm though I prefer the Winter Games over Summer ones. I'm going to be crushed if Phelps doesn't get a gold for his last games. I expected London to be his last. It's going to be a fun 2 weeks
