*g* I know there's a word... some people dream of the past,
others of
the present, and some of the precognition, postcognition....
what's
the third? It's slipping me...

Postcognitive is past, precognitive is future. I'm not sure there
IS a term
for dreams of the present.

Sure there is. It's slipping me, but someone else will surely chime
in... nudge Richard? Or is there some other grammarian on this list?
What is the right prefix to indicate the present? I'll kick myself
when I hear it...

Uh-oh.... ^^;; That scares me for some reason. Why do I get the
feeling that something BAD is going to happen to all of the
above?

*shrug* Search me. The worst that'll happen is that they're never
mentioned
at all. I don't do the "random kill off characters just to get them
out of
the way so I don't have to write them" bit. That's piss-poor
writing.

Hmmm.. but I rather feel that ignoring them is a mistake as well,
since they're such a big part of Sakura's world-view. 

Yep. Also the references to Cho's mother's attitudes. It wouldn't
have surprised me if she was of some obscure Li branch, and all
of
the sudden there's this Clan head....

Nah. It's not gonna happen. Like I said, this wasn't even a CCS
crossover to
begin with, so the name Li Ling just came out of my butt when I was
writing
what was supposed to be a straight HP fic. I'm not gonna play any
relation
angle just because of that; it'd be dumb to try to contrive it just
because
there's two Lis. In the first place, Li is part of her first name,
not a
surname, and in the second place, there's LOTS of Lis in China. :P

Oh. Well, I was recently into a discussion on Chinese naming
traditions for married women (Chang Ling Li), so I assumed her name
was Ling as a first name... it comes from doing too much research on
another fic I'm writing. But I forgot that Cho using the English name
order. *shrugs* I get a bit too technical sometimes.

*shrugs* Well, It's a very common name. It just seemed like one
of
those small threads that a writer might have dropped for an
observant
reader to pick up and you'd be using later.

Heh. Nope, in this case it's just pure coincidence.

It happens. It just was very distracting to me. I kept waiting for
Syaoran to show up!

Nah, Dudley's redeemable. It's the other Dursleys that are mired in
their
own shortsightedness.

Oh... I disagree. He's supposed to be a two-sided, flat character.
The evil stepbrother who simply can't be saved.

So is Draco, for that matter.
