One.I cannot stand Harry/Hermione shippers. Get over

1. I don’t mind them. I’ve personally been a Ron/Hermione shipper from the beginning, and I was really happy when JKR finally said that H/Hr was never going to happen…but hey, to each his own

[saltyj]

I feel horrible when I don't articulate my secrets correctly. I don't care so much if people ship H/Hr, but I hate it when people get so defensive, like, "Just because JK said that doesn't mean it's TRUE!!!!!!! H/HR 4 LIFE!!!!"

Ship it if you like, but please accept the fact that... well, they're never going to be together in the actual books.

I just sort of feel that way about a lot of things. And those "Dumbledore is still alive" websites that popped up... JK has said that he's definitely dead, so I feel like, let it go. We'll all grieve together.

Does that make me a horrible person, an HP freak, or a little of both?

[saltyj]

Now I understand. I feel the exact same way. I was saying Dumbly was dead from the second I finished HBP.

It just makes you an HP freak, which is perfectly normal to be. :)

5. Do it. I've been there, I know it's scary as hell, but you'll feel so much better. Good luck, you're not alone!

Would you mind telling me your experiance? What happened? What was said? What was done? Generally anything that really happened and you remember, what was good what was bad?

12: Why not? If you're inexperienced with relationships and physical intimacy, it's perfectly normal to be a bit nervous. :) Just take things slow and remember it's supposed to be fun.

1 - I know what you mean, and I know a lot of H/Hr shippers reacted like complete wankers to Book 6, but just because a pairing isn't canon and never will be (whether because the author actually comes right out and says so or because it's socially unacceptable) doesn't mean you have to stop shipping it.
(And on the flip side, just because a pairing is canon doesn't mean you have to ship it, either. To each their own.)

4 - ME TOO.

7 - I'm sorry. *hugs*

12 - I know what you mean. I was in the same place, once.

[anonymous]

Oh, I know I made myself sound like a horrible person. I should have thought more about my wording.

I don't really care if people ship H/Hr, but I get so annoyed when people say, "JK doesn't know what she's talking about!!!!!!!!! Harry and Hermione will be together!!!" Because, come on, she's the author of the book. Accept that fact.

But, really, ship away. I didn't mean to attack anyone that ships them. Just, you know, those fanatics that can't let it go.

I ship Lily/James, and they're dead. Well, technically I write about them before they died, but it's sort of the same thing, right?

[anonymous]

Oh, I agree completely. Those kind of shippers are always scary. (The thing I don't get is why we have 'em even in fandoms where the Powers That Be specifically come out and say that they AREN'T going to make any of the major pairings canon, where you'd think everyone could just get along and ship what they want in peace.)

And hah, I know what you mean about the dead thing. My current big ship involves two dead people and one who's pretty much a ghost with the dubious good fortune of being solid.

Thank you. I think the next time I just write a PWP, I'll keep it to myself. Sharing just kinda cheapens the whole thing.

1 - Yeah, I was gutted when Sirius died because it meant he and Lupin would never get it together. Heh. Okay, so I guess (getting into this now) I've always been a Ron/Hermionie shipper (I've never really understood what this whole shipping business is about but I've grasped enough to realise that that's what it means). Although Ron will have to do a lot of growing up before he's worth her bother. By the way, in book six, anybody else notice that even Harry was a bit of a Ron/Hermionie shipper

[saltyj]

PWP = Plot? What plot? It usually refers to a story with a lot of sex between characters and not much else.

Won't my room mate know and then make fun of me and tell people?
