Damn those pesky kids!

I'm now reading an HarryPotter fic that's Draco/Hermione. I'm liking it.

I don't normally read HP fic (due in part to my large dissatifaction with the films and some early bad experiences with Willow/Snape crossovers)... what does it say about me as a fan that I chose this pairing? Is this, like, a popular well-loved pairing? Is it horribly ridiculed across the more conventional/respectable HP boards, like Buffy/Spike once was for BtVS? Is it fondly regarded or generally dismissed and ignored?

The answer doesn't mean much to me either way (I'll read whatever), but I'm curious. I know there's a lot of slash fic out there for HP, but I'm mostly ignorant of HP fandom politics. Is slash the common fan-favorite?

I think in sheer number het probably wins out - the Ron/Hermione vs. Harry/Hermione vs. Harry/Ginny shippers pretty much dominate and argue over all the canon stuff.

The slashers are fair in number though, and don't tend to hide in shame :)

Draco/Hermione can be extremely enticing when done well. musesfool has a good story and jennyo has quite a hot little series. Smart girls and bad boys, yum.

Ah. Ok. Well, if I had to pick one of those it'd be Ron/Hermione. Actually don't have any pairing preference for Harry.

Nor should they. ;)
