Well, it's interesting what you write at one o'clock in the morning. I wrote a HG/SS oneshot of about six pages last night, after reading this absolutely ridiculous HG/SS. Gah! Lina knows my feelings on the matter but I will rant about it some more. If you are going to write unrealistic pairings (and I completely understand) don't make everyone

And a completely non-religious amen to that, thankyou!

It's so true though. Bloody fanfic.

People are dumb....

[aim_toothpaste]

They really really are.

Why should i mince my words? When that is the core of the problem, right there!!!

Also, Snape is a potions master, who USED to be a DEATH EATER!, and lives in a freaking dungeon??? That sound like a baby-kissing, puppy-petting, kitten-cuddling romance-god to anyone??

[aim_toothpaste]

I agree...

Snape may be on the side of the light and all that jazz, but he is nasty, sarcastic, cruel and bitter. Bloody hell. He is not a romantic personage.

But the reaction to their relationship is so often even worse. Fuck, Dumbledore, Lupin, Hermione's parents etc. are not going to be happy that she is in love with a man twenty years older than her...It just doesn't happen that way. Especially when she's at school because it's just a little bit fucking illegal.

The opposite problem is people who write diary style angst under the guise of fanfic, with barely an attempt to follow Rowling-style character arcs and storylines. I really, really hate that... though its more common with LotR fic, specifically Sam/Frodo (I went on a big Sam/Frodo binge about a year ago.)

[aim_toothpaste]

That annoys me as well...And is possibly why I don't read LOTR fanfic...

[nobodysomebody]

Some of its actually really good, when they keep the characterisation realistic and don't degenerate into porn or angst. There were some really pretty ones about Sam & Frodo pre-Rings, but yeah.

Yeah, I have read some good stuff. But it's hard enough keeping up with the HP fandom.
