Fannish rambling

[raven]

I think I may have fallen into a new fandom. And I also seem to have made a new friend. She probably can't see, but I'm waving at her - davechicken.


lilka always used to spend a great deal of time teasing me about various things guaranteed to squick me. Note the past tense in that last sentence. Sigh. Anyway, she always used to use Harry Potter as an example. I will state right now, for the record, that I don't understand Harry/Draco slash. Neither do I understand Harry/Snape slash, or, in fact, Harry/anybody slash. I just don't see it. Doubtless I am a godless heathen for thinking this.

But then there's the other aspect - I only slash characters I like. I liked Daniel Jackson. Everyone seems to like Hawkeye. I'm moderately fond of Crowley and extremely so of Aziraphale. Harry Potter, on the other hand, is a good character, a good hero for the books, and in that respect I like him. I just don't like him enough to write fanfic about.

I have said all this before, which is why it's hidden under a cut-tag - I just felt it needed reiterating.
There is, in fact, only one character in the books I like enough to write fanfiction about. He's apparently JK Rowling's favourite character, too.

Oh, you can't just leave it there!

*Who*?

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

I wasn't intending to leave it there, it just happened...

I'll stop being mean now.

It's Remus Lupin.

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

[laughs]

Yeah, yeah, I believe you...

So, who're you going to slash him *with*?

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Sirius Black. *looks innocent*

[flickgc.livejournal.com]

[laughs]

Of course, of course...

[jessindistress.livejournal.com]

You're one of those twisted Hagrid/Dumbledore slashers, aren't you? *g*

Lemme guess- it's Draco/Lucius, isn't it? *cackles* Okay, I'll stop teasing...

In all honesty, when I first found HP slash, I thought it was odd and wrong and everything else. It grows on you, though... quickly. Trust me. ;;)

Hagrid/Dumbledore? Can I say for the record - ewwwww!
And Draco/Lucius is almost as bad!

It's growing on me already, though. My poison is Sirius Black/Remus Lupin. Almost canon. *grin*

Strangely, of all the pairing in Harry Potter slash (and though I haven't read much, I have thought about quite a number, to see if I'd want to read them), Hagrid/Dumbledore is the first I can actually see.

Umm. Okay, so I'm weird.

*hits livejournal* Comment notifications are broken.

Hagrid/Dumbledore?
No.
No.
No.
No.

And just for good measure:
No.

And I thought I'd made a step today in actually finding a pairing I wanted to read.

And yet again -

No.

Darling, what you really want to do is hop on over to mash100th and read the Hawkeye/BJ five sets of 20 words I wrote for you.

Damned difficult it was, too. Just so you know.

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

She wrote for me? *snuffle*
*goes off to see*

[amchau.livejournal.com]

Well, I figure we both need a little cheering up in exam time...

Re:

[jessindistress.livejournal.com]

Awww... that is canon, D00d...even if it isn't explicitly said, both of them would just be so weird paired off with girls. ;;)

*grins*
I always thought there was something to be said for canine love... :)

Re:

[jessindistress.livejournal.com]

Like I say- "Sirius/Remus- doing it doggy style!"

*grins and waves back* Hey there. I come from a small town you've probably never heard of...... ;)

Re:

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

*grins* Yes, I did look at your profile. Hey, there...

Re:

[davechicken.livejournal.com]

And you're still taling to me? Wow! Heh nice to meet you. I'm sure there's more to me than my profile but I cannae think of owt right now!

How's it goin?

Re:

[loneraven.livejournal.com]

Not so bad. Revision, etc, blah blah angelcakes.

*thinks of own profile, and blushes*

Re:

[davechicken.livejournal.com]

Revision. Ah yes. What's that, we ask, habitually. I may even have done it this time round! Hehe.... Cakes? Oh, nice........

And my profile changes when I feel like it. Its due a thorough overhall but ah well.

*uhms, ahs, thinks, falls back on the original* Er nice weather we've been having? ;)

.....Not that that's my usual conversationpiecebutahwellyouneverknowsomeonemightbelistening......mumble...

[language-idling.livejournal.com]

Me too. I mean, for the Sirius/Remus thing. I've never found the motivation to write anything HP related though. I'm a bad, bad fangirl. :P
