This still amuses me. Free The LiveJournal Three! Possible because it's late and I'm immresed in my IRA research and well, I'm trying to make sense of it all and it's nice to have things like this to lugh about so there.
Well, have patience and it will be. I write slow, but I get there in the end. :-)
I know a good (and funny) Forge story, but the writer's taken her stuff underground what with Warner Brothers threatening action so I shan't mention it out here in public. Re the Harry/Ron hostility: Don't ask me, I just work here. I'm an unfashionable sucker for the romantic meant-to-be stuff, so when I find it without honey on top I'm quite happy. Ditto Sirius/Remus.
Re the books, I can accept easily that Draco wants Harry but I simply don't see the reverse being true (which is not to say I don't love a good H/D non-con, but that's about as far as I see it going, YMMV). Of course, the fact that Draco is shaping up as the Matthew Hale of the wizarding world does, shall we say, dampen his appeal to me as anything but an occasional nasty-fuck vehicle.
How is the H/S thing in Telanu like the Obi/Qui relationship? Other than the obvious thing about one of them being a teacher. I've never read much of anything in TPM fandom.
Sometimes I'm a slow writer, but we're approaching exam time, so now I'm writing a lot and quickly.
Could you perhaps e-mail the good twincest author and ask her if you could either give me her e-mail address to ask about it or if she could just e-mail me directly? You know I won't go ratting her out to Warner Brothers.
Hmm. I didn't even see Draco wanting Harry in the books. I saw them as fairly straightforward antagonists. Is there any good H/D non-con out there? Because I could get behind that.
The specific way Telanu writes the H/S student/teacher relationship is very like the way some people write Q/O. (I have yet to read her Q/O, so I don't know if she writes them that way, but I'm sure she's read them that way.) The way Snape is very concerned with propriety even as he's obsessed with Harry is the same way Qui-Gon often acts. The way Snape and Harry are more or less destined to be together, and the way no one else will do, despite the fact that Harry should be an overly-hormonal teenager, is very similar to the Qui-Gon/young Obi-Wan dynamic. And, of course, "One ill-advised snog on a balcony does not create some sort of bond, Potter!" from "Like a Glass" reinforces the Harry Potter-Star Wars analogy. This view is also heavily influenced by the fact that I can't get J.K. Rowling using "the Dark Side" in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone out of my head. That, of course, is also making me want to write Anakin/Harry.
Re Harry & Draco: I see them as plain old antagonists too, but you could also argue it as Draco having other interests in Harry as well. Good non-con--hmm. Everyone seems to like Lady of Shalott's "A Weather of the Heart" series; her insistence that they're actually really in lurve doesn't do it for me, but whatever. There's got to be a lot more H/D non-con, but I'm at a loss where to find it. Should be an archive full if you ask me.
I just don't see Snape as being concerned with propriety--position, the respect (or fear) of others, yes, but that's a different matter. But I like a good nasty predatory Snape so I'm prejudiced.
I'm still not convinced from the books that Harry and Draco have any genuinely sexual interest between them, but I can see Draco going after Harry in a sexual way as another way to gain power.
Ooh, yes, please on the nasty predatory Snape. Especially since we now all have the visual of Alan Rickman to go with it.
And, erm, at the moment I'm having Snape/McGonagall-it's-just-sex ideas. (Gasp! Het! How will we ever survive?)
No, you're not insane. From the first book, page 152, McGonagall: "Flattened in that last match by Slytherin, I couldn't look Severus Snape in the face for weeks. . . ."
