Wow... you have the patience to go through the whole thing and make it OotP compatible?

Well, it's not really that difficult. If I'd been seriously jossed by Book 5 then I probably wouldn't bother, but on the whole the changes I actually needed to make were minimal. I've just used this opportunity to clean up a few rough bits along the way. :)

I wonder what your zodiac looks like...

*chuckles* You probably don't want to know. A friend of mine who is into astrology asked to do my birth chart once (hoping to convince me that there was something to it), and the result was so far from accurate in the few concrete statements it did make, and otherwise so utterly nebulous and self-contradictory, that I was really quite amused. She had made quite a study of it, too, so I don't think it was because she did the chart "wrong" or anything like that. I felt sorry that she was disappointed, but for myself... no surprises there.

*Cuddles adjectives and adverbs....For they are my descriptive friends*

I like adverbs and adjectives too, but in the editing process I often realize that I've combined two adverbs or an adjective and an adverb right after each other, when one would suffice and make the story read much better. I'm all about the description these days (ironic since as a teenager I often complained about books that had too much description in them, and insisted that I was no good at writing descriptions myself), but I'm also prone to over-writing at times...
