remembering when you were mine in a still suburban town

[greenapricot]

So, HBP. yeah.

I finished the book last night & went straight to bed 'cause I could no longer think, had weird dreams I can't really remember & made notes immediately upon waking up this morning because I knew there would be no way I could possibly think about anything else until I had. They are mostly incoherent squeeing though.

Squee!

So I finished the book (finally, I'm such an obsessed-with-Spike loser) and felt the need to happily come and look at this and like posts as they are safe now.

But......

It's like 3 in the morning and I'm cracked out so all I really have to say is...Squeee!

My fave Potter book so far, what with the darkness and the puberty having and the freaking cliffhangery-ness.

I don't mind H/G so much really. I rather like it for canon as the fact that she is Ron's little sister might be about as naughty as we're going to get in canon. But uh, I like Ginny better than Harry anyway (nobody throw shit at me, sometimes Harry has a stick up his ass, and the temper!).

I'l tell you what I do like, in theory: Hermione/Ginny. But I'm a femme dyke trapped in a monogamous heterosexual relationship, lol.

XD!

It's definitely the best book.

But uh, I like Ginny better than Harry
ha! Well I like Blaise and Draco better than Harry (though that is fandom creeping in there to a point but there's no way I could really separate it at this point anyway). & though I do like him (& part of that is the temper actually, at least recently) Harry is a bit dim at times.

There's a lot of Hermione/Ginny out there I'm just so slash centric I don't know what to point you toward that's good. heh. all those boys. I'm obviously straight. :)

Yes, Harry's main power is not just love but also his ability to get incredibly PO-ed.

Hmmmmm. Last night after I wrote that post I went to sleep dreaming up Her/G ficlets in my head. I just found this last book SO conducive to that. Plus I like the brain and the athlete. I am becoming SUCH a fandom whore having posted fic in 3 different fandoms in as many weeks.

Hmmmmm, sexual orientation is so relative and often irrelevant in the world of fandom. Lovely, lovely.

Funny thing. For someone who has made her *mark* as a femslash writer (which is odd as those comprise only like a quarter to a third of my fic) it cracks me up that people are often surprise that I have actually fucked girls and don't just write about it.

P.S. Did I tell you that I won "Best Slash Fic" at Roswell fanatics for my lesbian aliens? And that mine was the first femslash story to win in that category?

[greenapricot]

So true.

I think you should write it. If only because I can't find any Roswell to rent & so can't be sucked into your fandom so you should be sucked into mine. Also, I'd like to see your take on the two of them. & ya know, fandom whore-age is something I want. I read many but I just can't seem write anything but HP.

Also true. & that's part of why I love it. In fandom you're just your words and there aren't a lot of opportunities for that in life.

ps. I think you said you were nominated. but. That is SO great.

[femmenerd]

I probably will write it eventually. The appeal is there so it'll prolly happen.

Haha, you aspire to be a fandom whore. Can you get Buffy? It would SO be worth your while. IMHO (Actually no, I'm right and there are gazillions of obsessies and college professors to back me up).

I spent some time today reading Buffy RPF and I must say it boggles me mind. The longer I'm in fandom there harder it is to squick me.

And to tell you the truth, the one thing in fandom that I do get a little weirded out by is when people are like seriously actor-obsessed in the "we were meant for each other, I'll pass out if I meet him" kind of way. RPF is so much better than that in that everyone knows that it's fiction and so it's just treating that celebrity persona as yet another character

[greenapricot]

Excellent.

I'm pretty sure I can get Buffy seeing as how it's super popular and all. Really though I think I should start with one of the other fandoms I already know something about (Batman, 28 Days Later, Fight Club, Dead Poets Society, Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid, Gormenghast) and have vague ideas about fic for. When it comes down to it I guess what I'm really saying is I wish I had the time & motivation to write in more than on fandom at a time

Buffy is everywhere!

[femmenerd]

Well, just think of it this way, your readers don't have to put up with you traipsing off on random obsessions while you're posting WIP fics (like mine do).

I was just pushing the Buffy 'cause I have to, but, you know, no pressure. ;) BTW, if you ever do go there, be warned that the first season is the worst season so persevere anyway (not that it is bad, just not totally representative of the whole).

It is sad that the more widely known you are, the more likely that the haters will show up in droves. I have friends who are BNFs (although they would cringe at that) and have had serious abuse loaded onto them.
