So I woke up at 7:30am this morning to a loud booming noise and the windows/floors shaking. I was a bit on edge since I work in Chelsea and was only a few blocks from the bomb that went off the other week. I luckily was far enough away and safely inside the restaurant but getting home that night was insane. There were firetrucks and cop cars

Holy shit! I just saw the headline in an app before I checked here. I am glad you are okay!

Have a nice day with the hubby, hope it will be a great one and it will make you forget about the exploding Math lab!

I feel so badly too for the neighbors but even more so the poor firefighter and his family for the loss of his life so some terrible people could run their meth lab. Such a shame.
Thank you! We are going to make popcorn and drink hot chocolate and watch a movie for shut out the world for the night! <3

(And I'm with you re Dramione. I've never understood it, but lately it's become a full-on squick for me. Perhaps it's because Dramione shippers seem to write a VERY different Draco from Drarry shippers?)

Yes, I am so squicked by Dramione that I even feel my insides squirm uncomfortably when I scroll through my flist and see the pairing listed. It's crazy!

as I texted _melodic_ the other day and I was rather crass... I'm promoting hp_drizzle in all the HET comms b/c I'm hoping to attract more HET readers since those fuckers prompted so much.
I find it rather surprising that so many people have prompted Draco/Hermione and so many authors have picked up those prompts, yet the comment count is no where near the Harry/Draco love.
Like if you leave an HD prompt and even if you get a crappy story, the original prompter still says SOMETHING. Dramione lovers don't seem to have that sort of courtesy... Some of these stories are half way decent... even if I don't like the Draco chracterizations. (Also, dude, you betaed one of the DRA/HER stories for drizzle...)
Do you think it might be b/c HET fics are dime a dozen on LJ? I tend to scroll past them unless I'm intrigued by the pairing and most of the times, I'm not.
I'll read the occasional Nev/Pansy or Ron/Pansy but that's about it.
Anyway, I'll stop rambling now.
/as you were

Perhaps it's because the standard of DRA/HER fics tends to be quite poor so people who don't actively ship it don't want to take a chance?
(Also, dude, you betaed one of the DRA/HER stories for drizzle...)
Guilty! It was a one-off: I offered because the writer was just getting back into the fandom (much like me) and didn't have a regular beta. Thankfully the writing was good! I'll be sticking to slash/femslash/gen in future though.
(Listen to me making excuses!)
Het (except maybe Pansy/Theo) just doesn't float my boat. Especially the explicit stuff. Perhaps it's because there's literally no non-squicky way to describe erm ... lady parts?
/so sorry _Melodic_ for hijacking your post and writing about lady parts.
