I won't pretend I'm not spamming your flists tonight. Ahaha.

But, okay. I am musing.

Generally speaking, I don't like this 'fandom stereotype' (presuming I have to give it a name). In and around fandom, I get the feeling that because I choose to write H/G, and because it's my OTP,

Hmm, well, honestly, right now I don't mind the fluffy fic. We're in a period where the last book just ended, we went through a horrible war with all these characters, but Jo left us, and the characters, in a very happy state. Which is why there's probably a ton of fluffy fic. People will write their fluffy stuff right now, with the characters happily married, with their kids, etc. It's what is on everyone's mind right after finishing, so it's what they'll be writing.

However, I do see what you mean, and I'm thinking, and hoping, too, that after we've done a bit of the fluff (and again, I must stress here that I really can't blame anyone giving fluff to Harry after all he suffered), we'll ease into the more, well... not flat-out angst-y stuff, but the kind of fics you're describing.

For example, I would love to see a fic that deals with some of the issues that will undoubtedly come up between them. Like someone brought up on penny_sieve's journal about Ginny having issues with always being told she's too young, and I'd LOVE to see that

WOW. That was...wow. *faints from the hotness*

Ok, now that's the H/G I love to read about!!! *totally fangirls you now*

Um, no. This isn't allowed to be good. I'm a D/G shipper. Rabidly. I don't want to like H/G. I never have liked H/G.

But if there are writers like you in the fandom...no, no, NO, I WILL NOT SUCCUMB. I only came to this post to go 'yeah, they're vanilla, I agree!' not to see that *points up* and want to read MORE!
