Harry Potter Fan Code
Codes are a quick way to advertise your opinions on fandom.  Put them in your signature file, on a website, in your profile, wherever.

To put together your code, pick one answer to each category that most closely matches your opinion.  Then string all the abbreviations together in one arcane string of gibberish...

Um, you missed OotP in the "favourite books list" :-P May we surmise that it's "OP"?

This reminds me too much of the Geek code.

Am I really that old?
It's a nice idea if it takes off.. Will look into adding to my user page tomorrow :)

Well, the U2 code that I based this on was based off the Geek Code.  So...   ^^;  [Not saying you're old, though.]

Great idea, this is awesome!

A couple suggestions:
- a way to show your OTP as an extra in the "Pairings" section
- a way to show how many of the films you own

Whee.

Suggest adding a way to list a favorite m/m slash pairing, a favorite het pairing and a favorite f/f slash pairing

Suggest a level between
FF+ If it weren't for fanfiction, you wouldn't read.
FF You read it occasionally
since many would read with or without fanfic, and many read more than occassionally.

Fun code!

Great stuff, I love these things.

I get the merging of het and gen (I mean, it's everywhere out there), but reading gen with canon couples isn't really the same as reading smut het? Maybe || for het preference?

Maybe if the signifiers for slash/het/gen/femmeslash were used in the pairings and OTP stuff at the end, it would be easier for people with only 3 slash favourites or gen fans to be included? I certainly don't have a favourite femmeslash pairing.

For example, if I liked James/Lily and lots of slash pairings: JP||LE, RL/SB, SS/HP. If I liked Remus gen too: RL|

Awesome stuff! This is a great idea, and I'm sure there's more things you could add, but I can't think of them right now. ^_^ Awesome job.

Oh, maybe most hated/grossest pairing in that person's opinion? Favorite magical creature? Favorite teacher? Favorite House or the house they think they'd be in? Favorite class that they would take if they could?

I don't know i those are along the lines of what you want...but I thought I'd put them down anyway. ^_^

My suggestions: You might add an Extra to the Books section, HC, if you have them in hardcover. Also, there must be a way, perhaps FFW, to specify that one Writes fanfiction. Lastly, I propse C% as signifying that one doesn't believe in conversion. Oh, and I just noticed that the example given for ! under pairings is HG\GW-, not HG\GW!
I am old enough to remember the Geek Code (yes, [info]annephoenix, we are that old!), and this made a very tired [info]dethryl smile. Thanks!

An asterisk at the end of the number of books owned could mean that you dressed up at a midnight release party for one?

I also agree with the person who pointed out that het smut != genfic. I'm one of those read-anything-but-PWP people.

I'd add my favorite chapter if someone else wasn't borrowing the book, but it's probably one of the more backstoryish ones.

Even though this doesn't appear to have been updated in a while it can't hurt to make a suggestion, like

M-X waiting for a boxset/specific edition
B++X waiting for a boxset/specific edition

CGF7 for a favourite chapter in a book that's not ness your favourite book...
