If I come across one more fic featuring Hermione and her almost-hysteria over losing her virginity, I will cut someone.

Seriously.

THIRTEEN-YEAR OLDS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO WRITE ABOUT SEX.

At least have some knowledge of what you're writing about. It's helpful to have, at least, kissed someone before writing about sex. Or making out. Or

I remember how just hearing Judd Nelson say it to Molly Ringwald made my cheeks flush.

Oh, holy shit, yeah.

I'm getting all flusterated just thinking about it.

And maybe, but jesus, it was terrible. And if you're writing to get over or around or whatever, your own hang-ups, don't do it with my beloved characters.

Write your own.

I mean, it's bad enough that it's tripe that wouldn't even make it as a Harlequin, they've got to drag my characters into it?

That makes it bad and OOC.

Begging the question, will the madness never end?

Honey, Harry and Hermione aren't your characters. They're JKR's characters. You can criticise bad smut all you want, but as a fanfiction writer, I don't think you're any position to tell people to write their own characters.

Really?

Damn. Thanks for clearing that up.

[parkergray]

I'm sure I probably have, man. No question.

But you've heard my rants on OOC before. It makes me fucking crazy.

The whole point of fanfic is that you love these characters so much that you can't let them go when you finish reading, or watching, or whatever. You love them so much you're compelled to fashion your own words about them.

And fashioning words that make them do these completely out-of-character things just makes my head hurt.

Hermione is many things, but a wilting flower she is not.

If you want to write about that, but don't want to use your own characters - find another fandom, another girl, another boy - someone who is a wilting flower.

I guess that's the difference though.

Some people just want to write, and like using already existing characters to do it.

I like to write about the characters.

[parkergray]

Totally.

And it was so. fucking. hot.

He was right in her face and it was low and breathy and it all kind-of runs together at the end and you can just tell he's getting hard from thinking about it.

*shivers* Such a great, fucked-up moment.

[parkergray]

Is it not the greatest icon evah?

*pets the pretteh*

[parkergray]

Dude, Judd Nelson kinda scares me. And I didn't really like any of them, to tell you the truth.

I loved the movie; I loved their chemistry together, but I never lusted after any of them.

But - the way he says that?

Damn. Next time you hear it, close your eyes and forget the nostrils. *g*

And 'Shut up!'

Hee.
