oh great, a rant

[hesychasm]

I would really rather not have to rehash the whole "Is slash misogynist?" discussion, but apparently I now can't tell the difference between an unflattering portrait of a female character, and making her act out-of-character in order to push two boy characters together.

Hee! I have actually talked up your story elsewhere, although now for the life of me I can't remember where it was. If I didn't leave feedback for it, I am very sorry, but chalk it up to the fact that I'm still thinking about it. Because it really does present a picture of the trio that made me THINK -- it was sort of painful in how much more realistic it was, that Hermione would NOT necessarily be okay with that arrangement, and that she and Harry might NOT automatically want to have sex with each other and wrap everything up in an equilateral triangle of happy domestic bliss. It was a sort of unbalanced realism that I hadn't really seen in triofic before (I can think of just one story where it was obvious once they all got into bed that Harry was more of an outsider, but it was very subtle and a lot of the other commenters didn't even pick up on it), or that I hadn't thought I could enjoy. In fact, I'm still not sure I enjoyed it -- as I said, it was painful (but in the best sort of way). And so it's just been sort of sitting in the back of my mind ever since I first read it. And occasionally, yeah, I'll whip it out in response to someone's comment and talk it up. (g)

Uh, yeah...so I'll still write you proper feedback for it at some point. (g)

It's H/R and it's called Hermione is always right. *wink*

AWESOME. Can't wait to read it!
