Harharhar, I now have someone to see OotP with.....who? My mother.
Meh.
But what can one do? I think it's a bonding experience... I will have to hold inside all those irrational urges to scream "SLASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSH!!!" OR "FOR FUCK'S SAKE VOLDIE JUST LICK HIS FACE!" or "SNARRY SNARRY SNARRY SNARRY SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRYYYYYYYY!!!!". I'm always defiantly non-canon when watching the films. Always watching for slash and disregarding any canon/het that totally should not be there (ie Charry). I make of the film what I wish to see. eg, during the last film I was known to remark, "my god, a weasley twin sandwich with Mione in the middle!!" or "clearly a slashy moment!!! I believe Harry was staring at Snape's arse while he was ascending that ladder!!!" Along with other....more...unsuitable things which highly amused Áinny and Withers (I don't know why all her friends call her that, it's very strange and I don't think it suits her as much as KB).
I might actually end up saying something along the lines of slash to my mum and then she will ask "what is slash?" and I'll say, without mentioning fanfic, "gay undertones" and then she'll say, "is that what you read on the internet?" and I'll say, "NO! *shocked look* As if I would ever.....really, don't you know me at all?" I like to walk on the edge. NOONE will ever take my slash from me. NOONE!!!! *evil laughter*
I'm almost ashamed to admit that I'm currently reading a "het that totally shouldn't be there" fic. Sadly Harry/Ginny, Hermione/Ron. Buuuuuuut it is well written and has a few original ideas in it. Like...plot. Rarely do I read such a thing. The dark lord has been defeated, but there may be a new dark lord in town is the basic jist of it. I'm more interested in the new dark lord than the harry/ginny boringness. They're together far too easily. Like allllll canon pairings. Perhaps I would read more canonfanfic (haha) if it was made a little more interesting. Jazz it up a bit, get Ron to grow up. Hermione to relax, Harry to be a man, and Ginny...well she can stay the same, she's sassy. Most of the canonfic I've ever read has made the characters exactly as they are in school (and this is fic where they've all grown up), authors seems to forget that the characters grow up and develop, someone who was a swot at school can relax a bit, someone who was shy and unsteady in their skin can become accustomed to it. Then I guess the grown up characters aren't really canon are they? As they've never been written about as adults. But we can see the seeds of it, Hermione becomes a little more..anarchist, Harry comes out of his shell a bit. Ron....is very little changed. But the war and final battle, I think, would change everyone.
(maybe the only reason Remus is with Tonks is because she can change into Snape at will, heehee)
This is a load of rubbish ofcourse, because I am in no way interested in canon pairings. I like it twisted. There are some frilly little sites that only have canonpairing fics or het fics. They like their marriage and babies stories I feel. The last chapter (or chappies as they would call them- which says it all really) would have a marriage ceremony (in great detail- vows and everything, details of the dress blah blah), the epilogue would be....a few years later with their children and the happily ever after crap.
The one I am currently reading will have this ending, because I am on such a site. I didn't find it though. No, honestly! I was on DA and a picture had a link to a fanfic. And I was intrigued by the picture. Unfortunately what the author calls angst....wellllll...it's like half a chapter of "oh no it was my fault and that person is dead now..." and lots of thumping things. No, not even people. Just inanimate objects. Couldn't even crucio a deatheater. But I will persevere. Can't start a fic without finishing it unless it is SO DREADFUL THAT I WANT TO KILL MYSELF. This one doesn't fall into that category. Yet.
