What did you think of it idea? Do you think it's too self-promoting, or is it a good way to spread the word about PotterCast? [15:53] <yellowpepper2311> Great idea [15:53] <MrMcGonagall> I think it's a good idea. I don't have a blog, though! [15:53] <Skiplives> Excellent idea [15:53] <HermyG13> I think it's a great way to spread the word [15:53] <KimmyBlair> I think the banners are great! (but I'm biased) [15:53] <Theoriser> lol [15:53] <mrh216> I like it [15:53] <HermyG13> lol [15:53] <yellowpepper2311> lol [15:53] <fawkes28> i think it's a good idea [15:53] <danae24> I thought it was great!!!

[15:54] <CoolMinded21> PotterCast getting on the blog bandwagon [15:54] <SoonerGryffindor> I think its great because it really gets the word out [15:54] <mrh216> No one visits my blog though [15:54] <KimmyBlair> i did my job at pimping Leaky [15:54] <Theoriser> yes, happy birthday Aislinn! [15:54] <KimmyBlair> I think it's great to have everyone listening [15:54] <SoonerGryffindor> lol Kimmy [15:54] <mollywobble> it's a bit self promoting, but whatever.

[15:54] <Aislinn>  [15:54] <Aislinn> smile [15:55] <Theoriser> I think it's a good idea, I mean I didn't hear of podcasts until last year, and it's good to spread the word and get more listeners [15:55] <danae24> yay for Kimmy for helping us pimp our blogs too!!! [15:55] <SoonerGryffindor> so many menbers, so little colors....... smile [15:55] <Skiplives> It is really half the idea behind a blog is to provide links to things you find interesting, so people who like other things you have recommended can try new things [15:55] <KimmyBlair> yeah [15:55] <HermyG13> 'pimp leaky' instead of a ride [15:55] <yellowpepper2311> lol [15:55] <KimmyBlair> that's why when I use resources for my icons i always link to the resources [15:55] <mrh216> smile [15:55] <Aynber> lol [15:55] <KimmyBlair> that way peopel will find more places to learn about the icons if they are interested [15:55] <andythehouseelf> I've been promoting PC for AGES anyway.

[15:57] <danae24> we should suggest that..... [15:57] <SoonerGryffindor> and how did you guys discover Pottercast? [15:57] <danae24> Mods, please take note of that, and tell Melissa about it......... [15:57] <Skiplives> iTunes [15:57] <KimmyBlair> the main page [15:57] <MrMcGonagall> References on Leaky. [15:57] <KimmyBlair> I started with the first episode [15:57] <SoonerGryffindor> yep [15:57] <CoolMinded21> Main page [15:57] <danae24> Leaky Cauldron [15:57] <yellowpepper2311> Itunes [15:57] <Skiplives> I found Leaky through Pottercast [15:57] <HermyG13> I luckily found the first one [15:57] <mollywobble> mugglecast and the main page....i dont even listen to mugglecast anymore [15:57] <SoonerGryffindor> not me, but I started in Feb [15:57] <KimmyBlair> oh that's interesting skip [15:57] *** TheAzkabanDietitian has joined #lounge [15:57] <Theoriser> I found it through the leakymug they did [15:57] <Lizzieangel90> Leaky main page [15:58] <HermyG13> same time I became involved with reading news from leaky [15:58] <danae24> I started with Mugglecast, but Pottercast is the one that rules............ [15:58] <TheAzkabanDietitian> is anyone else having trouble putting the flash forms of the show on their myspace? [15:58] <Theoriser> I didn't used to like leaky's layout, I found it really confusing, so I heard about pottercast from mugglenet [15:58] <SoonerGryffindor> I started reading Leaky news way before I ever learned about PC or the chat forums [15:58] <danae24> No........ i didnt have any trouble....... [15:58] *** LJ has quit [Bye] [15:58] <MrMcGonagall> Leaky is a vortex that sucks you in, consuming your whole life . . . bwahaha [15:58] <Lizzieangel90> i got involved on the lounge because of pottercast.... i had created an account on the day the lounge opened...but didn't use it until oct of 2005 thanks to PC [15:58] <fawkes28> me too, sooner [15:58] <SoonerGryffindor> lol [15:58] <mrh216> yep [15:58] <Lizzieangel90> oooooh i agree Mr. M laugh [15:58] * danae24 agrees with Mr. McGonagall [15:59] <Aislinn> it is Mr McG [15:59] <yellowpepper2311> yeah, definitely [15:59] <fawkes28> lol mr.mcg [15:59] * Theoriser also agrees [15:59] <TheAzkabanDietitian> yeah, i had listened to the entirity of MC before I *hesitantly* listend to PC... [15:59] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I was sooo wrong to hesitate! [15:59] <Theoriser> Fan Interview: [15:59] <Theoriser> HermyG13, or Christina, was in this week's fan interview. She gave a lot of advice about recording and writing filks, and also her background on coming into the fandom. Were you surprised that she got into the films before the books? [15:59] <MrMcGonagall> I still listen to both MC and PC, but PC is by far the best. [15:59] <yellowpepper2311> I started with MC but only because there were a week ahead [15:59] <Skiplives> See I found them both at the first Leaky Mug [15:59] <KimmyBlair> I wasn't... because that's how I came into the fandom [15:59] <Skiplives> The "We got kicked off iTunes" one [16:00] <Aislinn> I think a lot of people get here that way [16:00] <MrMcGonagall> Not really surprised. I saw the first film before I started reading the books. [16:00] <HermyG13> I was surprised I found the movies first, considering I've always loved reading books, lol [16:00] <SoonerGryffindor> I read the books first, but I got into it early [16:00] <Theoriser> a lot of people I know started off with the films [16:00] <danae24> Yes........ I always though Christina had read the books before the movies........ [16:00] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I was very surprised about her being into the movies... of course, I've heard that's how fans become fans before, but I was into the books long before the movies, so it's a i [16:00] <yellowpepper2311> yeah I saw the movies first then I got sucked in ... [16:00] <TheAzkabanDietitian> bit hard to understand [16:00] <SoonerGryffindor> I have to admid that I only found the books through my son though [16:00] <mrh216> I read the books because of the hype surrounding the movie [16:00] <mollywobble> I saw the movie before i began reading, i think a lot of fans have [16:00] <yellowpepper2311> yeah [16:00] <Skiplives> I started with the books, my wife had them for work and I read anything that is around the house [16:00] <fawkes28> even if people saw the movie first, people who are readers will always be more drawn to the books [16:01] <KimmyBlair> yeah [16:01] <TheAzkabanDietitian> I think I started reading a while after GoF came out.. [16:01] <danae24> and I have to admit it.......... Christina, you are one of my idols!!! I'm amazed with your ability to filk almost anything..... [16:01] <Aislinn> I think so too, fawkes [16:01] <KimmyBlair> there is just so much more in the books [16:01] <Theoriser> I started with the books, reluctantly, because of the hype [16:01] <MrMcGonagall> I was impressed with the story in the first film, which got me into the books. The books are of course the best. [16:01] <HermyG13> oh stop! don't make me blush! [16:01] <CoolMinded21> I was a fan of the books from the start, when the first book came out here in the US [16:01] <Aynber> I can't remember if I saw the movie first, or read teh book [16:01] <SoonerGryffindor> but if it had not been for my son (who was 7 at the time) struggling to read and a recommendation from a friend, I'm sure I would have seen the movies first, then read [16:01] <yellowpepper2311> I refused to read the books first because of the hype [16:01] <KimmyBlair> really? [16:01] <yellowpepper2311> yep [16:01] <danae24> me too yellow! [16:01] <fawkes28> me too yellowpepper [16:01] <Lizzieangel90> i've been a fan since the first book... Harry Potter created my love for books [16:01] <Theoriser> me too [16:01] <mrh216> I made sure I read the books before seeing any of the movies though [16:02] <danae24> I read the books because of a dare.......... [16:02] <Aislinn> that's cool to hear lizzie [16:02] <Aynber> then, of course, I read the first three books in 2 days... [16:02] <SoonerGryffindor> lol danae [16:02] <Lizzieangel90> i read the first book, on my own, when i was 7 [16:02] <SoonerGryffindor> that's great Lizzie [16:02] <andythehouseelf> wow lizzie we must have started at the same time! [16:02] <mollywobble> i refused to read them too for awhile. Why would i ever be interested in a kid book.....oh how naive i was [16:02] <mrh216> First four books, I read in three days [16:02] <Aynber> because of the hype [16:02] <MrMcGonagall> I saw the first film, then went to my mom's for Thanskgiving. She had the first book around the house, and I stayed up half the night reading the way I did when I was a kid. [16:02] <yellowpepper2311> ... and now I'm an addict lol [16:02] <danae24> Now I'm more of a fan than the friend who dared me to read Harry Potter........ [16:02] <Aynber> all those biblethumpers HAD to be wrong! [16:02] <SoonerGryffindor> that's great Mr M [16:02] <Lizzieangel90> i attrbute my reading skills to harry potter [16:03] <Aislinn> I think there are some works that are over-hyped, and others that grow by word of mouth, and these books I really think were word of mouth [16:03] <SoonerGryffindor> I started out reading the first book to my son and the orignal plan was to read a chapter a day to him.......... [16:03] <Aislinn> so the hype didn't bother me [16:03] <DemetryCarrington> Sorry I can't stick around guys but i will be at the chat Wed. ok.
