Six Things

[ilkee]

1. I was right about the glasses. It's only been a year, but apparently my vision has taken a distinct downturn.

2. And I only tell you this because you are my friends, but I'm not feeling 100% on this next chapter. So, go easy on me.

3. I'm debating posting the chapter pre-beta. Usually my mistakes are small, but considering #2, I'm not sure.

4. I

Can you post the link to the art as well? If there is one? I know, bad friend, I'm not reading CH (cringes in anticipation of chorus of "WHY NOT?"s), but I'd like to see the art.

And my sister gets her groceries delivered. Hey, between the gas saved and the time, it's very worth it! You snob, you.

Oh yes, I will post the art here. And I know perfectly well why you aren't reading CH. (chicken ;P) Afraid of a little Malfoy. heh.

I'm going to have to do a post about this. I don't want it to degenerate into Snape vs Malfoy, though. I just want to understand, because I absolutely don't get it. And it seems wrong that I don't get it, because he's her age, for one, but I don't! LOL, maybe there is something intrinsically wrong with us SSHG'ers.

ROFL! Oh God! I just had a good laugh.

"maybe there is something intrinsically wrong with us SSHG'ers."

Oh yes, I think *that* is it! LOL! Nevermind the wrongness of getting it on with someone who has been vehemently bigotted towards you. I think there is a little something wrong with all of us.

I won't argue Snape vs. Malfoy. I'm not a die-hard shipper of any kind. I just like a good story. Having said that, I have developed a strong attachment to character of Draco Malfoy. I like to read about him in all kinds of ships and scenarios. He is interesting in what the lack of information JKR gave us, leaves open to the imagination. Just as I think Snape is interesting in the complicated history that JKR gave him.

As for not getting it... they are really kind of the same.

Both guys pick on her or disregard her while she is a student
Both are taciturn and moody and tend to scowl a lot or look indifferent.
Both have a hard time with their squishy feelings

One is blonde and one is dark. Pick your devil. :)

Pick your devil! Aha! I think I have.

I guess that's what it comes down to--we don't like the "good" guys. Bad boys all the way (except in real life!).

Very interesting, the part about their being a lack of info from JKR. You are absolutely right. I think, maybe, that gives you more to conjecture, more to play with. Hmmm....
