So a friend just linked me to the James Potter series by G. Norman Lippert the other day. I've always kind of avoided fan fiction in the past and I'm not really sure why, but I think it may have something to do with the quality of writing. Bad writing just kind of breaks the immersion for me. Has anyone read this and want to give it a seal of approval/disapproval before I delve into it?

I did read methods of rationality for a while but got distracted by other things and haven't been able to get back into it.

I haven't done a proper reread in a while. I would be game for this. I've never participated in a group reread before but I've always thought it would be fun.

Have you checked out the Alohomora podcast? It's another podcast from Mugglenet (same site that did mugglecast) and it even has some of the same hosts. They started doing a chapter by chapter reread back in 2012. They've been releasing new episodes on a weekly basis (I think it started out as two chapters per episode for the first couple books, but now each episode is one chapter) They're just now finishing up Half Blood prince. If you've got time you should check it out!
