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?

Darn you, Rashaka, your post led me to the sick, evil badness that is Draco/Hermione smut and I think I may already be addicted.

Ooh, what are you reading? I was looking at this fic that someone on LJ recced last week-- there's a link in that fic list I made a few days ago.

It does put me in the mind of early S/B fic.

That's probably why I like it. I know that's why I like Tasuki/Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi. And why I like Cowboy Bebop fic with SpikeSplegel/Faye pairing. Though with that pairing the genders are switched and the woman is the ballsy-bitchy petty criminal suffering from semi-unreuited love and the man is the brooder jilted by past love.

I dunno why, but passionate love/hate is so much more interesting the than cuddly tragedy.

Sigh. There's nothing like having a new obsession.

cool.

I'm reading that potion fic right now... it's wonderfully amusing. And you're right... Draco here is like season 4 Spike. It's like you take that Spike ( who had only 3 states of mind: petty, bitchy, and horny), and condense him into a 17-year-old.
