questions for Fandom w/a capital F for Favors

[sab]

1. How the hell are people reading that horrible horrible photo-of-every-page scan of HP:TDH? I downloaded the first half and couldn't even get through a page, it hurt so much to squint. Is there actually a PDF out there that's easier to read? And if so, could ya give it to me? Not because I care so much about getting on the pre-show bandwagon, but more because I am number 1279 on my library's hold list, and ain't got the money to buy the book proper.

2. Who, I ask, is going to Comic-con? San Diego, next weekend, badda-bing. There's some rumors I need put to rest, like whether or not Rusty's REALLY gonna be there on Thursday and whether or not Hewlett's gonna stay past Friday and onto Saturday to hang with us. And, more specifically, if there's anyone coming who wants to offer up part of a hotel room/lodging arrangement for me and projectjulie for Friday night? OR, if RTD's gonna be there, Thursday and Friday night?

3. David Tennant's mom, Helen MacDonald, died after a long illness in Paisley yesterday. Folks are sending donations in her name:

ACCORD Hospice
Hawkhead Road
Paisley
PA2 7BL
U.K.

or via their website: http://www.justgiving.com/accord (thanks measi for the info)

4. Folks with foot fetishes should check out the toe-porn action over at feetwantout! Folks without foot fetishes should check out oz_rapsheet, which is having a ten-year porniversary and there's a fabulous resurgence of Beecher/Keller fic.

5. That's all I gots.

Loves the lot of you!

Would totally go to Comic Con with y'all if I didn't think I'd have an utter people induced hyperventilating panic attack:)

I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA. And had the same perplexity. I tried it but gave up the second time there was an image too fuzzy to read even zoomed in.

(If you were in the area I'd offer to lend you my copy when I'm done, but you aren't. *G* Also, of the people I've already promised to loan it out to, one reads slowly enough that she'll probably take half a year or so to finish.)

I am somewhat disgruntled because I know other fans have already read it, but my eyes can't cope with crappy photographs either. So I have no help to offer there. I have ordered the book anyway, but I expect that more decent bootleg copies will circulate soon after the release proper. While I buy the HP books, I like electronic copies for being searchable, and I'm not about to pay for an electronic version of something I already paid for once and could scan myself in theory, and so far it never took long for them to appear. So I guess DH should be out as a better electronic copy before you get it from your library.

1. A combination of my reading glasses and comic book reader and I only had a couple of pages that I couldn't see well enough to read. But I was determined.

No room in the full up inn, but I will be there, as will thatames, as well as many of my friends who you have not met.

Please to be emailing me your new address right now so I can tell Amazon to send you the bloody book. It hurts me to think of you reading that PDF. You want the kid or the adult cover?
