AJ Hall

From Fandom wank wiki

In Harry Potter fandom, author of Lust Over Pendle, an apparently well-regarded fanfic.

Also, author of some bizarre rhetoric, often containing numerous ten-dollar words and parenthetical notes.

(She's British, not a product of the inferior American educational system. And don't you forget it.)

Famous Quotes

  • Remember the aftermath of September 11, when the "Nostradamus" verses which some Canadian academic had put together in 1996 or thereabouts to demonstrate the power of the internet swept round the globe, with additions to make them even truer, in less than 12 hours? [3]
  • Also, the attack on Dudley with the Ton-tongue toffee is an attempt to buy popularity by torture (successful, too); a technique introduced by Tom (see p 339 relating to the prote-Death Eaters; "they were never detected in open wrongdoing , although their seven years at Hogwarts were marked by a number of nasty incidents to which they were never satisfactorily linked")but refined by the twins, who managed to do their torture, muggle baiting and animal experimentation in plain view, and never get pulled up for it.[4]
  • Look, sweeties, I know that this is going to be difficult for the hard-of-thinking (NB: "hard-of-thinking" is not, repeat, not a racist expression. It is an insult. Repeat after me: "There are some insults which do not need to be racially motivated to be insulting." There. Isn't that going to add variety to your life from now on?) It is possibly offensive to those who are classed as learning-disabled (most of whom, in my personal experience, look like sodding Einstein next to the rank and file of those members of HP online fandom who participate in stupid wanks like the one upon which I am currently commenting, but let it pass, let it pass). But insulting disabled people is not racism. In fact, it may well be offensive bigotry. In fact, it almost certainly is offensive bigotry.[5]
  • Now, I know even some of those of you who are still with me may have difficulty realising that "analogy" means anything different from "swells up and gets a rash when she eats strawberries." Especially those of you who may have received an American education (Careful! Careful! I see you swaying forward, like hounds on the scent (simile). But that still wasn't a RACIST insult. If anything, it was a geo-political insult, especially since I took pains not to distinguish between North America, South America or Central America).[6]
  • The problem is that everyone's parents say that sort of thing (and everyone says it when they're parents) and no-one chirps up and says, "Well, actually I am racist." Because 1) no-one is racist in their own head; and 2) as a matter of sheer practicality the children probably will in fact be worse off being half- whatever than full- something, so it isn't that the cautious advice is wrong precisely, just that the downside is worth it (or so you hope) for the theoretical upside or that one has to suffer and inflict suffering on one's family for the Greater Good, or the principle of it, or whatever.[7]
  • Actually, my handy stand-by The Dairy Book of Family Cookery, published by the Milk Marketing Board in 1983 (it was the follow up to The Dairy Book of Home Cookery published a decade or so earlier) which one got cheap with milk-bottle tops (which hardly suggests it was aimed at the idle rich) has a section headed "Icings and Frostings" beginning with Butter Frosting (which contains milk) and which has eight variants, Fudge Frosting (which contains cream), Whipped Cream Frosting (which contains nothing requiring explanation), Butter cream (which contains egg yolks), glace icing (which contains "edible food colouring, optiona;" and if you've read as much as I have about uses of arsenic in green colouring you'll see why "edible" is specified) and finally Royal Icing (contains egg whites and glycerine - many of these recipes are now un-makeable owing to chemists becoming twitchy about the things they are actually prepared to sell to you). Specific recipes involving butter cream on top (and while I've always thought slash fic takes the question of who tops and who bottoms to absurd extremes I'd say this current debate takes the biscuit on that matter) include Balmoral Almond Cake (piped in fancy rosettes), dark ginger cake, toddy cake (you put whisky in the butter cream on this one), chocolate fudge cake (decorated piped butter-cream ring around chocolate covered cake, so that the half-dipped in chocolate almonds can be stuck into it, coffee praline gateau and coffee fudge sandwich.
    I've never actually known anyone use the term "frosting" in England, but obviously the Milk Marketing Board thought it was ok. - AJ Hall on buttercream[8]
