oh my god, you wrote the four other horsepersons? I loveyou! With added psychotic penguins of doom on top! (it's like cherries and whipped cream, but more personal)

Who, moi, soft spot for ridiculously minor characters? Never. (I'm not on my own. This is the fandom that will actually read Hasutr/Ligur.)

Thank you :D Hurrah for psychotic penguins. I keep meaning to write fic focussing on the other four Horsepersons but never seem to quite get round to it.

My take on Hastur/Ligur is that upon discovering the GO fandom you only *think* you're not going to like it, then somebody links you to daegaer's H/L stories and you're instantly hooked - well, that's what happened to me.

Not exactly what happened in my case. I was reading the book for the second or third time and the pairing breifly popped into my head. Next second I go "EW, nobody would seriously read that". Then I find the fandom.

I should have expected it, knowing what people in other fandoms read. The stuff in the Potter fandom is frankly scary - far, far worse than the H/L fics here.

Hehehe. Well, nasty, unpleasant, homicidal Dukes of Hell need love lust too.

Heh, there are a number of times when I've stumbled across a HP fic that has left me unable to open - or in one case even look at - the books without wincing and being forced to ward off an attack of bad mental images.

That, my friend, is why I avoid the fandom as a whole. Except for Pottersues - most of the stuff there is funny enough to offset the trauma. Then again, sometimes they're just traumatic - like the one somewhere in her archives where Harry, Ron and Draco got sucked into an alternate universe and became Arabian handmaidens with Japanese names. Do not ask.

I don't read Potterfic in general unless it's been recced to me, as I know the horrors that await the unwary fan. To my certain knowledge, there is at least one NC-17 Snape/Buckbeak fic somewhere out there. I'd like to avoid accidentally running across stuff like that if I can.

*Eyes widen in horror*

Why do I get the awful impression that this story wasn't intended as comedy crackfic.

I think the most traumatic thing I ever encountered was the hermaphrodite!Snape fic featuring mpreg, rape and several olypic swimming pools full of angst. I only read a few extracts posted by somebody on my flist and it was still enough to make me want to curl up in a corner and rock back and forth until the memories repressed themselves.

Correct. It wasn't.

Isn't there more canon support for that now? *hides*

Oh please, you're just looking for subtext where none exists. JKR's clearly hinting at Hagrid/Buckbeak. After all that he's been through Buckbeak needs somebody strong and reliable to turn to. Somebody with whom he's had a long and establish friendship.

Oh dear Adam, I can't believe I just wrote that.
