DA - with quotes! and page numbers! essays, even (Well, that could be a bit much...).
Also, in response to the possible history with rape - canon instances where rape was hinted at/was a serious possibility, and canon references as to why he wouldn't bring it up, such as his comments that he doesn't like mirrors because he doesn't like looking at himself.
I would separate it out with a basic profile at the top of the page, a summary of the canon, in-book info about the character, then a section for Word of Jim (like Jim's explanation of how Harry watches TV), then popular fanon.
some of those could be pages/essays in and of themselves, but at least it would be a good way of organizing information!
I started doing references for myself, but it was simply too much work that I didn't have time for, and I didn't think anyone would seriously use it.
And I never really got around to what I was looking for, which was the potions we knew Harry used, and of those which we had known ingredients for - ie, the sunlight, money, tequila, etc.
Also, a listing of spells. I *really* want a listing of spells, the "Latin" Harry uses, what the spell does, and what the Latin means, or what Harry's Latin is close to.
No, I don't ask for much from my resources. Really.
:nods: The wikia has a list of Harry's spells, but I noticed a few were missing as I was reading the books... And pages on how spells work-- like that whole thing about Harry setting up a reflective ward for the malocchio. Stuff like that to help fannish writers figure out how the magic rituals and such work in the canon so we can make similar stuff in our fic.
I also don't know if the wikia has it, but I was thinking of page-number references of when Harry uses those spells, or significant instances for common spells - ie, the first time we see Harry enter the NeverNever, the first use of SoulFire/HellFire, etc.
What was necessary to summon the Erlking.
Gods, there's so many times I could have used something like this and I just relied on my memory - which, as you can tell from the prompt, kind of sucks sometimes.
