Dear H/Hr:
OMG STFU STOP. HAVE A BIG BOTTLE OF 'NO MORE TEARS,' YOU HUGE BABIES STOP. THE PETITIONS NEED TO STOP STOP.
Dear R/Hr:
OMG STFU STOP. STOP BEING SO DAMN SMUG STOP. YOU DON'T GET A FREAKING PRIZE FOR BEING CANON STOP.
I can't, can't, can't WAIT for JKR to update her website. I mean, what is she going to do? She has to be aware of all the bad blood she's created between the houses shippers with a few offhand comments. Does she address it? Does she ass-kiss the H/Hr crowd and pull some sort of 'agree to disagree' thing? Does she tell the H/Hr shippers they're obnoxious and need to go die? Does she some how do both? Or does she just pretend to be oblivious to it all and continue to address Very Important Issues like "What is Harry Potter's favorite food?"
My inner little bitch (who is remarkably like my mother) cannot help but squirm in delight at the way fandom wank plays out in much the same way as small town politics. JKR is like the Mayor, H/Hr is like the Daughters of the American Revolution, and R/Hr is like the Eastern Star. And for some reason they've been fighting for years and years (over something petty and long forgotten, like someone's treasured heirloom pie crust recipe was stolen during, say, Bunco night) and the Mayor, in a fit of insanity or drunken wisdom, has mistakenly sided with one of the dumb, useless groups. And now she must back-peddle frantically or risk losing all of one group's votes, or maybe both groups' if she pisses them off bad enough.
I LOVE IT SO MUCH, YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
