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?

Yo, S'cool. I actually don't like Snape romance because I picture the film actor, whom I love on his own but I also think looks terrible in the HP movies. His hair and make up really isn't becoming. And the bum thing is that when I read stuff I picture mostly the movie actors.

Don't crucify me for that though, I know a lot of people disagree.

Well, I'll obviously disagree, but "crucify"? Nah. I all "to each is own, man". Flame wars and popularity contests are not me. Which, I think, is why I have no enemies in the Harry Potter verse, or anywhere else for that matter.

I have only one enemy that I know of. A little Relena-hater from Gundam Wing fandom who blasted one of my fics and promised to have all her little friends beat me up. Coward didn't even leave a retun email.

I think having at least one is mandatory of sorts. Being in fandom these days means you have to have at least one. If I do, though, he/she is in hiding.

I have a fan, too! One. Somewhere out there, is a person named Jeff, and Jeff is my fan. I know this, because he emailed me a long time ago and signed it "Your fan". So it's a balance-- everyone needs an enemy and a fan or their very own.
