(the way of the Slytherin)

Omg, I love this fanfic h8 thread. Love, love (so far, anyway). You people are so funny it buuuuurnsss usss, preciousssss. The snark. Oh, the snark. *cuddles fandom* You people. You restore my faith <333333333333

I love squeeing about fics too, don't get me wrong. But. Sometimes one needs to cleanse the palate, non? :D
    Also, I sorta wish there was more snarky love as well as snarky h8. 'Cause everything should be snarky. EVERYTHING >:D
    Maybe it's just me, but it's like... if something's said with humor (and bite), it seems more honest to me. It is just me, isn't it? heh Yeah.... I love you guys. My heart melts. That said, the comments to the comments tend to be funnier than the... uh... comments ^^; Also, possibly I shouldn't be most amused by the Erin-is-a-guy-who-writes-badfic thread, and just things written by The People I Know: TM. But. *dead*

Anything that has someone saying, "oh, wait, draco's redeeming himself from fanon. he's like christ in a way" gets my unqualified and complete adoration, man :D :D
    Also: "Pansy will be redeemed, of course, because that is the way of the Slytherin." ♥♥♥

Fanon Draco: he's like Christ, in a way :D

In your collective snarky honor, I will scan a couple of Christ!Draco (heh heh) pics cellia gave me (muwahah... hah) after our uber-snarky viewing of PoA together. (Dude... the Harry/Ron... -dude-....)
    
Also: wheee, another PoA movie parody :D :D heeee! (though nowhere near as funny as Maya's. Woe.)

( Here be saintly!Draco. Yep. Super-sekrit sketches by Cellia, colored by moi! heheh. )

(het issues; move along)

I think, if anything, I have an anti-self-insertion issue, when it comes to het in HP: meaning maybe I take it too far. I mean, the boy I "like" the most is Harry, right, and pairing either of the two girls I might possibly identify with-- Hermione and Luna-- just feels wrong to me. Then again, I've only ever wanted Harry with whatever girl struck his fancy (i.e., Cho), but I never really felt like I myself supported a Harry-het pairing. It's like... I can see Harry being friends with a girl (obviously), but he's just so... stunted, I guess? In regards to emotionality and mushy stuff and like... yeah.

I guess I want to deal with his rage issues and insecurities and the martyr complex as well as the need for companionship & understanding he would supposedly get from a balanced, reasonable girl (like Hermione & Luna in different ways). I want Harry to be with whoever he really wants and has chemistry/sparkage with-- and he just doesn't have sparkage with Hermione (or Luna).

Still, I also think it's got something to do with them being "like" me, at least insofar as I feel like people ship these pairings in part because they -do- identify with Hermione, say. She's like... a "good girl", and shouldn't be wasted. She's also right there and Harry can -talk- to her. And... it's like the male/femaleness provides that essential -distance- between people I'd talked about (that seems necessary for romance). It's like, well, of -course- they could have sexual tension, too-- they're a boy and girl, aren't they?

I know it's immature-- I know-- but I will laugh after Ron & Hermione get together and the shipping debates all end (at last!). No more ship debates!! No more angst!! Oh, that hallowed day.

( Oh yes, I will laugh. )

Also. Um. Is it like, the next step of bottom!Draco lurv to write H/D with female!Draco? The wrongness mostly comes from it -not- bothering me. Too much. ^^;
