timepiececlockI'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?

Re: yes, i am evil
Date: 2003-06-02 11:22 pm (UTC)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.
