NTLJ ch20 at FictionAlley

Chapter 20 is up! Unfortunately, ch19 hasn't made it there yet, despite being submitted a day earlier. I wouldn't mind, except ch19 is the chapter where three of Tonks' main suspects finally make an appearance ...

Oh well. One of a number of things about FA where the "usability features" leave a little something to be desired. Next time I submit a chapter, I'll have to specify in the notes that there are some still in the pipeline. I just hope ch19 gets posted before ch21 does. :)

ETA: It didn't ... Sigh.

JK Rowling Question Contest

Well, the MuggleNet/Leaky Cauldron JK Rowling Question Contest is now closed - let's hope some interesting questions make it to the top of the poll, rather than "What's Harry's favourite colour?" or the like! (You imagine JKR would answer that "Gryffindor red, of course!" and mentally breathe a sigh of relief at having been served such an easy one. Or if she was in teasing mode, "Red, and I'm sure you can guess why!" to get the Harry/Ginny shippers all excited.)

For the record, my two suggestions were actually related groups of questions about things a lot of us have wondered about, but which might get a decent-length general answer:

(1) What are the abilities and limitations of a Fidelius Charm? For example, what are the requirements, what sort of secrets can be kept with it, what happens if somebody already knows the secret, what happens if the Secret-Keeper dies?

(2) Werewolves in HP - what special powers or weaknesses, if any, do they have in their normal and transformed states? For example, do they have enhanced senses in human form, does a transformed werewolf have resistance to some spells or a vulnerability to silver?
