[life is beautiful]

Sometimes I really... really love fandom. Man.

Just when I think I've seen everything in terms of the things people can do to fanon!Draco or whatever-- I clicked on an aff.net fic with the summary, 'When Harry walks in and finds his enemy in tears what could possibly happen to bring these two together.' Because clearly I haven't read enough emo!Draco fics lately... except it wasn't about Draco. Note the telling 'his enemy' bit.
    Yes, indeedy. I've found the first H/D fic (so far) where Draco's name isn't even Draco, but Allan (because the author-- who's not the one posting, but her 'friend'-- apparently 'doesn't like' the name Draco). I quote, "They act the same way it is just a name change." :D :D :D
    I LOVE THE WORLD >:D

This just puts a whole new spin on the old chestnut about how badfic authors change everything but characters' names :D :D 'Cause fear no more, gentle readers: that too, could be eliminated if you just have the will. The courage. The fortitude and creative vision. Verily.

The most beautiful part, I think, is that nearly every reviewer (mind you, this is -aff.net-!) then reacted with woe and outrage at this despicable abuse of canon, and random fangirls claimed that though they too, may not like the name 'Draco', but it's the canon that counts :D :D And then someone questioned passionately how could -anyone- dislike such a glorious, beloved and honorable name. Yes, indeed.
    To quote one of the reviewers: who the hell is Allan?!?!? Last time I checked there was only one Malfoy heir and his name is DRACO or DARCONIS. Not allan.

EDIT - To mark this momentous occasion, I wrote a drabble about (who else?) Prokofius Potter & Allan Malfoy. Ahem.
