How come there're positive choices in the last question for me to clicky clicky on? :(
I think it's a really fun idea...Execution is everything, of course, but all fics are like that. I'd like to see what kind of people Draco would bump on those sites and how those people will react to him too. He can't be totally honest on those sites, either, I'd imagine! :) I like the concept of Draco finding himself at peace with the Muggle world too. I think I've read more fics in which he continues to have his misgivings about all things Muggle and I'd like to see him learning to appreciate it, while not totally redeeming himself character wise and becoming perfect. :))))
I do like a Draco who is happy in the Muggle world, but is still very much a wizard. And while he'd probably leave out the wizard bit, I can see him posting "Exceptionally attractive tall blond seeks strong handsome man. Must be willing to buy me dinner and not complain when I'm chatted up by others...." Or something!
But I think the execution would be key. Treading that fine line between funny and silly without being ridonkulous...
Oh, that is a mega cute fic. I wouldn't want it to be a pale imitation. Her Draco is so deliciously neurotic in that! And her Harry... guh!
Me too! I'd reply to Draco's post!
The idea for the fic just arrived in an image of Draco sitting at some cafe about to meet someone who said on Craigslist they were handsome, well dressed, charismatic etc. He'd written out their description of themselves in his notebook and then they arrived, and Draco was all raised eyebrow and 'I thought you said you had a sense of style?'
At last! The fic I have been waiting for all my life!
Seriously though, I wouldn't have thought I'd enjoy a fic about Draco baking, and look how that turned out when you wrote it. (In case that needs clarifying, that one really tickled my fancy). I say go for it. You never know till you try.
Also. At last! Lj recognises me again! Damn and blast its eyes for making me work so hard to tick a ticky box! (There should be lj polling booths at every school so we can ticky!)
Although sometimes the most bizarre premises do make really very fun fics. And my writing has all been a bit Serious lately, and this could be a lot of fun!
Lj is on the naughty step at the moment. It has been misbehaving.

Where do I sign up for this dating website??? :) I will play a strong handsome man :D.
The concept does remind me a little bit of "Desperately seeking someone" by Alaana_fair....that is one cute story :)
