Nostradamus predicts.

[pauraque_bk]

In the year 2005:

-Dumbledore/Harry non-con will enjoy a sudden surge of popularity.

-A trendy new catchphrase will be pastede onto fandom. Yay.

-Snarry will become canon. somniesperus will sue for theft of intellectual property. Her suit will be dismissed on a technicality, but her briefs will be declared the hottest ever to be presented in a court of law.

-Draco: Still not redeemed.

-Someone will complain that things in fandom are not as good as they used to be.

-At 9:32 GMT on September 19th, the fandom will run out of Harry/Draco. "We warned you it wasn't a renewable resource," little-heeded fandom conservationists will say.

-Voldemort/Hagrid wandplay will enjoy a sudden surge of popularity.

-A fan will have an embarrassing accident with a snake-headed pimp cane. It will be in all the papers.

-GoF filmmakers will realize that they made a terrible mistake in cutting Percy from the script, and beg Chris Rankin to come back. (Percy/Crouch foodsmut will enjoy a sudden surge of popularity.)

-Draco: STILL not redeemed.

-The text on icons will become so small that it cannot, in fact, be seen. But believe me, it's there.

-Fans will grow tired of canon and begin slashing each other. (Wait, that already happened.)

-Hot new fandom: Scarborough Country.

-Two fans with a long-standing personal feud will hurl childish insults at one another over an unimportant issue, incurring the public mockery of peers and smirking onlookers. Don't say Nostradamus didn't warn you.

-Half of fandom will be revealed to be JKR's sockpuppets. The other half: Vice cops.

Overtaken by one's own sockpuppets. I think you've discovered a new mental illness!

[pauraque]

Hee! Your icon! :D

But you don't say when!!!

Nostradamus invites you to play whatever part you see fit in fulfilling his prophecies. ^_^

Yikes!

Mmmmkay. Will do. ;)

Thanks. :)

No, it's just a general owl. I think it's originally from some classic fairy-tale illustration. I found it at Book Icons community (http://www.livejournal.com/community/book_icons/113828.html).

That's scarily prophetic. :D

[jaig.livejournal.com]

You prophet, you. :D

If I recall correctly, the original fandom people slashing each other thing was by wayfairer, here (http://www.livejournal.com/users/wayfairer/333631.html). However, it was only the start.

This has to be my favourite New Year post so far!!

-The text on icons will become so small that it cannot, in fact, be seen. But believe me, it's there

I'm so happy someone accually got it! I've been getting a bunch of wierd looks. You can't go wrong with the Beatles or Hitchhiker's Guide.

Here via the Snitch to say two things:

[auctasinistra.livejournal.com]

Hear hear on all the predictions, and

"Boutique pairings" -- What an elegant phrase!

[lycoris.livejournal.com]

All of my sad mood just slipped away and was tangled up with utter hysteria. WONDERFUL. :)

[robert-frogg.livejournal.com]

Wow! All of that for 2005? How will I ever have the time to keep up!

Why is it that I like your predictions to normal ones though?

[wicked-dragon-x.livejournal.com]

Well DANG. I was actually gonna be all "First comment!" but LJ messed it up and I got fed up and figured I'd comment later and when I came back it was up to like, 90 comments so I'm no longer the first. *inhale*

-The text on icons will become so small that it cannot, in fact, be seen. But believe me, it's there.

That, right there, exactly sums up why I think you rock.

I just saw some new icons that perfectly fit that description. Quite beautiful and all, but the text? Itty-bitty one-pixel-per-letter, which completely ruined it for me.
I need to comment here with my e_notagain name so I can use my Trendy Icon.

Also, music squee.

[mark356.livejournal.com]

And Snarry did become canon!

I think most of the other ones had already happened.
