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.
I can maybe maybe see Harry/Ron, or Harry/Hermoine (but honestly, in the first three books, more Harry/Ron MAYBE than Harry/Hermoine.) I just can't see Harry/Draco at all... not in the first three books at any rate. Where are they getting the idea for those two?
I like H/D becuase of the possibilities for the fic. (Sadly, maybe a handful of people have ever actually played with those possibilities. Sadie Dragonfire is one.)
Oddly enough, I didn't really notice the H/D subtext in te movie. I think I was focussing on Snape too much. <g>
Very literal. It's a problem with reading and why I tend to enjoy books with concrete endings and don't leave the reader with a lot of questions...
But because of that, I just have major problems finding any possible relationships based on subtext. I just can't see something sneaky going on in the back ground where two people are doing it. (Which after having seen the movie and than having read the book, ended my twincest kick.) I would think that JK would have told the audience about that... so may speculation in fiction about the possibilities of whom...
See, this is where I go... book based fan fiction not for me. I have a slew of biases against it.
I'm not in the Harry Potter fandom much. I'm on one or two mailing lists just mostly to know which way the wind is blowing because I have articles on my web site that pertain to Harry Potter and so that if there is an interesting post to it, I can e-mail the author and ask for permission.
I still read twincest and non-shipper material fan fiction wise but my involvement otherwise is mostly surfing Harry Potter sites, collecting HP images and lusting after Oliver Wood.
I like the books. I enjoy the books but for books, I'm just not a person who is able to get the subtext... *shrugs* (Television, yeah sure. Movies, yuppers. Books not really , nope.) Fandom goes beyond fan fiction. Whole segments of the Harry Potter fandom exist outside the land of shipping. I know several people like that.
