Omg, I'm dying, I'm dying.... *___* This latest H/D doujinshi scanlated by Aku-Tenshi & DokiDoki is described thusly: "Doujinshi's answer to the Western fanfic epic. 90 pages of ambitious H/D angst" = MUSIC TO MY EARS :D :D :D Omg, seriously, the sheer nostalgia factor just slays me. Just when I was really thinking, 'damn, I'm pretty much over HP, aren't I', ahahaha. Man, I'll never get over this version of the story, that much is for sure. It somehow only gets better after the 8927287934th time I see it :)) Everything old is new again, as they say :>











~~

Hahah, at this point I don't care where it fits into canon, and I even like that it occurs in a sort of post-GoF limbo of sorts :)) After enough spy!Draco and post-Hogwarts and mature!Draco... this is exactly what I wanted. I mean, in the beginning, my motivation for greater canon-use and ICness was really to UP THE ANGST. Heh. Oh man. *sigh*

NINETY PAGES OF THIS *____* Old-school angst. *clutches to bosom!!!* I seriously love my angsty pointy Draco with an unholy gleeful love *___* SUFFER MY PRETTIESSSS!! SUFFFFFERRRR FOR YOUR OMG ETERNAL YET ANGSTY LOFF!!1 *___*

Man, this makes me think of [livejournal.com profile] cathexys's overview post on fanon, especially the part where she quotes [livejournal.com profile] liviapenn talking about how the best fanon always becomes boring once seriously overused. And that's true-- most people's retellings of that old cliche-ridden H/D angst epic make me snore these days-- but I think this still overlooks the fact that some fanon cliches become plot kinks for some readers, something like favorite toys, so in theory they'll always be treasured and nostalgic. I dunno. It also helps when one feels no fic actually explored the potential of a particular fanon trope as far as one wanted it to go-- that's definitely how I've long felt about H/D. It was always like, 'close, but no cigar', and that alone kept me interested for a long time where repetition alone would've slain me.


Um. *coughs* You can download it at the bottom of Aku-Tenshi's HP doujins page, here :D

I go through periods where I don't follow the scanlation releases :>

Is it possible to write stuff like this and not be shameless? ^^;

Yeah, I thought about that just after hitting post! Viva la dojinshi and its utter lack of shame :))))

Awesome. And am I on crack or is this dj reading left to right?

Yeah, I figured it out. :D How much do I love the Japanese fandom's take on Harry/Draco? There is no questionning of the Seme/uke archetype, and nor should there be! :D :D

....unless by 'questioning' you mean whole oodles of doujins devoted to uke!Harry :)) I think it's not that there's a lot of seme!Harry as they must think Draco out-ukefies him :D

Harry may be uke in other pairings, but surely top!Draco is a Western myth?!

One can never be too sure, with the Japanese ^^;;;; I think I may have seen some seme-ish Draco/Harry doujin cover somewhere.... possibly in my fevered nightmares, I dunno :>

Well, I tried it twice now and it worked, so I'm not sure what the problem is....?? 'Not working' in what way? If you try again and it doesn't work I'll upload it :)
