timepiececlockDear me. It seems as if reading the new chapter of "God of the Lost" suddenly renewed my sooper seekrit pairing vice of Draco/Hermione HP fic.
You know what's odd? I can't ship any mainstream or canon pairings for the HP books. I've tried. I fail. I inevitably come back to Draco/Hermione, Harry/Luna, Neville/Ginny, and Hermione/Lupin.
Oddly, I've always been put off by Hermione/Snape. Maybe because I read the first four books before watching any of the movies? But to me Snape is always going to be an ugly, oily, creepy, bitter middle aged man. I :heart: Alan Rickman but I'm sorry, that's what Snape is.
I've also never been able to get into romance fics with Ron-- at least not unless it's a love triangle and he's on the losing side. I like Ron as the eternal sidekick and support. I like him as a subplot, as a commenter from the sidelines. That's how I like my fic!Ron.
I continue to enjoy fanfic about Draco while relishing in his indignity in canon. ::shrug::
Hermione I like as background and as a main character. Heck, I like her in fanfiction often more than in the actual books. But then again, I'm not terribly fond of most of JKR's portrayal of female characters.
I love any fic with Luna. And I really hate that she got shafted in the 6th book. And Neville! What was up with that? That's shoddy writing, building them both up in book 5 then having like two scenes in book 6.
I think Lupin/Tonks is a cute pairing, and actually is sort of like the canon version of some of the Hermione/Lupin fics I've read, but as fic goes they don't interest me that much after all, I've found.
Harry... I like him by himself or with Luna. Or occasionally with some other random non-canon character. But mostly with Luna.
Dman it's been a while since I've played around with HP fic.
