Kathy, that is just the sort of Snape/Hermione I would like. Although I am not sure I ever read that one.
I am also a fan of the romance novel sub-genre wherein there is an arranged marriage and THEN the couple falls in love. I credit this to an obsession with the Cary Elwes/Helena Bonham Carter move Lady Jane at the age of 13 or so. Anyway, there is also a huge subgenre of Snape/Hermione fic which deal with a forced marriage...
Wolfram, I think there is even Weasly twincest fic. Which I am not sure if I find more or less disturbing than the Simon & Simon slash (Buffista redundant conversation # 5, a throwback to the SalonTT days).
Oh, there's lots of it, from what I can tell (note: I don't actually read HP fic usually, but it does seem unseemly popular).
Talk to the profile, because the post ain't listening.
Hee.
Harry, Ron and Dumbledore -- A Love Story [essay]
Never EVER been attracted to a boss, but the odd instructor or two has caught my eye.
Celebrity Poker is the type of show I dislike and avoid, and yet every time I come across it while flipping channels, I am FASCINATED and cannot turn away.
Also, does it seem weird that I have reached the age of 31, have been working since I was 15, and have only, for about 6 months, ever had a male boss?
I started with Celebrity Poker, but the professional poker shows have got me sucked in now--after Lost, I automatically turn to the Travel Channel for the World Poker Tour. Phil Helmuth is a jerk, Dan Harrington is a cool senior citizen, and Annie Duke is just too darn cute (loved seeing her beat Helmuth for $2 million in the all-or-nothing game on ESPN).
No, it's great! I mean, if your company closes that day anyway, because it is surrounded on 3 sides by marathon route/cooldown route. And you come in at 10 am, and read in the park, and walk up the marathon route to Kendall (this year I will go on the Fenway Park side!), and when you get to Kendall you see signs that the race organizers are holding up, to encourage the flagging runners: RED SOX WIN!
I'm thinking you mean Kenmore. But Kendall wouldn't be a bad place to spend Marathon Monday (actually saw Laurel Canyon there two years ago on Pats day). Anyway, the whole point of taking the day off is that my company ISN'T closed. Granted, it will be better this year now that our offices aren't a five minute walk from Copley, but, still, like Halloween in Salem, I avoid those type of crowds like plague they are.
I woould think I had some sort of weird obsession with bosses/subordinates. I just realized that my favorite ships, post-Buffy and Dawson's Creek, arre Josh/Donns from WW, Snape/Hermione from Harry Potter, Grissom/Sara from CSI and Garrett/Lily from Jordan's Crossing.
Would it have anything to do with the missing father in your life, do you think?

Very true-- hadn't thought about that. Weirdly, I almost never credit the obvious weirdness about my life for things. Prbaby would explain my major professor crush in college, too, huh? Although, truth be told, he was really about the age of my grandpa.
Also, I just realized that I'd forgotten that almost ALL of my theatre-type bosses were/are male. I was only counting my "real" jobs.
