I dream about movies

Small confession: I'd rather have the bickering relationship of Ron/Hermione than the perfect serene one of Harry/Hermione. At least the first one has more life in it. And it's bickering, not lobbing deaththreats at each other. How do you get that Ron's going to grow up to be an abusive little shit who's going to lock Hermione in the kitchen and force her to have a whole herde of kids and nothing else? Did we even read the same books? The ones where Hermione is perfectly capable of taking care of herself, and has a rather quick temper at times (cue canaries, again)? Besides, with Harry's temper and CAPSLOCK OF ANGST and Hermione's swottishness and her almost slavish devotion to learning and books and schedules who's to say that H/Hr will be so peaceful? They drive each other up the wall when Ron's not there to balance them out.

My biggest peeve with all this? They are teenagers. There are high school relationships that survive graduation and college and the rest of life, but not all do. I'd wager most of them don't. So stop making this all to be about the One True LoveTM. People change at that age. Life happens. Not all relationships survive that. Please remember that.

I'm not saying that H/Hr will never happen. Maybe it will, later on. Maybe not. Let your fantasy run wild, especially since Rowling has said that she won't write anymore HP after Book Seven. I'm just saying that in the span of the books it won't happen. Rowling said so.

This is not so much aimed at fanfic, though I do have a tendency to skip any that has H/Hr as a pairing. Personal preference and all that, and they usually make it to mean 'We're so in love and nothing bad can ever happen to us'-cavity-inducing-mush. This is about the rabid insane shippers, who keep 'interpreting the texts from the right perspective', as long as it means that their ship is the only one that will sail.

So, I'm writing a PPC, about a story which has Legolas as a girl, and out of morbid curiosity, I take a look at what else this author has written.

'Silencing Mike'.

...

Silencing Mike?! The Monty Python gangrape-story? Oh my sweet Eru!

Get it off, get it off, I got RPS-cooties all over me.

Oh hee, poetic justice for CC.

( Bit disjointed thoughts )

Also, the Bad Sex-week on HMS STFU is slowly destroying my sanity. Even more than what badfic usually does to it.

Caught the last part of a rerun of J.A.G yesterday-evening. Bud is cute. ^.^

He returned some Shakespeare and then mentioned that they were so alike to various Star Trek-eps and that he was writing fanfiction based on Richard III that he called Picard III. Hee, mention of Star Trek in a non-mocking way.

Dear fantwunts,

Nudists. At Hogwarts. A big old honking castle, full of updrafts. In Scotland. Are you out of your freaking little minds? Do you hate your characters so much that you want them to die of pneumonia? Also: Hogwarts? British boarding school, meaning it has a strict dresscode. No, getting yourself adopted by one of the teachers does not mean you get to circumvent this code. Stop trying to get that professor nekkid too.

I've nothing against nudists, but there's a time and a place for everything, and Hogwarts is neither. And can the hypocrisy. Don't have Hermione tut disapprovingly at the ten-year-old who's dressing like a cheap hooker, but praise the same tendency in the twelve-year-old. Given that she's adopted both of them, go stick your head in a pig.

Furthermore fantwunt 2, cut it out with the gift-talk. Girls these days are not just valuable because they're virgins. And for the love of Merlin, Nimue and all Four Founders, stop having the teenaged kids express such an interest in their parents' lovelife! It's quite sickening. So's the sex, by the way.

No love, since you don't know what it is

Baby, I'm No Good, written by polygamouse on HMS STFU. Short and sweet, it portrays Nine and Rose's reactions to fics written about them.

There's some weird people out there...Bible fanfic of the worst kind. Those who read the PPC-board have already seen this.

I told my fiancé about it. He laughed about the silliness of the premise. Then he absolutely refused to read it. I can't blame him. I'm not a Christian myself, but I still felt icky after having read it.

Edit: the Department of WTF took on the task of PPCing this. Kudos to them.

My brain, it hurts. Too much reading through fanfic on deleterius. Where's the brain bleach when you need it?
