~~silly memes. *smack*

( ok, so it's the silly anonymous-friends-comments meme, although it's completely pg, and safe, and i like everyone, so like, don't worry. i wasn't going to do this, but um. yah. i begin a list and of course i can't stop ><;; on the bright side, i will never, -ever- do this again. gah. )

~~

EDIT - even -i- don't remember who some of these are meant to be. *laughs* but at least y'all know i like you, now. w00t. need sleep, dammit.

EDIT #2 - because a number of people wibbled, and i -really- didn't mean to make anyone feel weird, i was just expressing my loff-- seriously, it felt like a mass love letter, it's bloody embarrassing-- but anyway, i went back and named everyone i could remember anymore ><;; hah. *hides*

~~wherein reena decides she's not a slasher. heh.

and btw, i'm sorry for that stupid, stupid anonymous-feedback meme. i just really like lists, myself, i didn't have any desire to say anything to anybody that i think they don't know. because obviously, i gush and get enthusiastic freely, it's not like it's a secret if i like your writing ^^
    and basically, i probably like you if i like your writing. but like, even if i think i -know- someone likes me, and even if there are a number of entries that -could- be me, i always fixate on the one that makes me feel worst and feel all bad, and now i can't even concentrate on reading fic, or writing, because i feel all wibbly and now there's no good reason. so i'm sorry i wrote the silly meme, because now it's like i perpetuated it. i feel so used, ahahaha.

    anyway, reading cassie claire's improv `what-if' DV slash thing on vanityfair's journal, i realized something about myself and my conception of being a `slasher'. i don't feel like i am ever -forcing- or -hoping- for slash, anywhere. if it seems like it shouldn't/wouldn't happen, i don't slash it. to me it defeats the purpose.
    not that i have a -purpose- (that sounds sinister), but rather-- i just see it, and i call it as i see it. to me, if i am on the slash bandwagon for a certain pairing, it is because it would be wrong to me if these two characters weren't together. sort of like, instead of being with westley, someone put buttercup with prince humperdink because say, they had this fetish for dark hair, and they simply -hated- westley's blond hair, so they paired buttercup with the prince and made her live happily (or whatever), without westley. it's just wrong, deeply, completely wrong.

the reason i see the Trilogy in a slashy way, is because harry/draco is the most intense and real and emotional thing i can see going on. it -screams- ``meant to be" to me. this isn't me wanting to -change- the text, this is me -reacting- to what really feels like the heart and soul of the the text. so it kind of defeats the point to root for their slashing, as if it's not going to happen. because from what i know of cassie, no amount of rooting is going to sway her, and i'll just feel bad. ok, so maybe it won't happen-- maybe they won't be all-out snogging by the end of the series. but if they're as close as they are, if they're alive, if they went through all these trials and they've found out all these things about themselves and each other-- i can only say, well, give 'em a few months or weeks, and it'll happen. i mean, yes, i think cassie can pull of writing it harry/hermione, but it would still ring false to me on an emotional level, no matter how well-written. soulmates is soulmates and there's just no plot twist you can wind around that. she's the one who wrote them as that. i can only assume she meant it. and i think it's -already- slash, for that reason, actually.

( hmm... to slash or not to slash. that is the question. heh. also, here i go again with my silly nature-of-love musings. guh. )

anyway, rant over. and damn, but i have a backlog of fic to read/review ><;; *hides*
    hee. *bounces in anticipation of next post being -full- of plebey fic-reviews* or maybe just squeeing about the latest chapter of luw, hehehehe
