It's not that I don't love R/Hr...

[connielane]

...because I do. But I definitely think I'd like it more and be more interested in it if I weren't involved in the fandom. As it is, there's a tiny bit of bitterness there, and I feel kind of annoyed sometimes when people talk about R/Hr as the "real" romance of the HP series. Because I don't feel that way at all.

Obviously, I don't expect everyone to share my particular perspective, even if they ship the same pairings. But it makes me sad that there still seems to be an implicit rivalry between R/Hr and H/G. And, more significantly, that I'm not exempt from it. I find myself getting very defensive about H/G lately, and even sometimes annoyed that people seem more interested in R/Hr than H/G now (Which is only to be expected, right? Because, I mean - FINALLY).

This isn't directed at anyone in particular, and I know I'm being incredibly annoying and whiny, but I had to get it off my chest. I just love my OTP, and wish I felt that other people loved it as much as I do. But there's obviously nothing at all that I can do about that. The world does not revolve around me and my needs. :P


In other news, I have no comment whatsoever on BoldGate. I'm currently sticking my fingers in my ears and just hoping it will all unhappen. Because I reallyreally do not want to leave LJ.

Not to steer the conversation away from all the H/G R/H love that's happening but P could you give me the lowdown on what's up with LJ? I've only seen one brief blurb about it and basically ignored because it didn't connect with my flist. But now that you have mentioned it, I'm pulling my hands from off my eyes and going OMGWT#!?...will this effect me and what is this? Thanks. L

Not P, but there was a sequel to Strike-through Gate known as Bold-Gate. Some fan-artists got banned for material 6Apart felt violated some anti-child porn laws, here's the Fandom Wank report on it...
