You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?

Don't forget Reneesme.

Oh wait. That's not fanfiction.

Well, it sort of is.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

You can't fic your own verse, if it's published without an AU label. This is my position and I'm sticking to it.

Snucius sounds like it involves the Snuffleuphagus.

Oh dear... the mental images are not pretty. Not pretty at all.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hahahaha. I think I might have to give up the Holy War against Portmanteaux, because there are just so many times you could bash your head against a brick wall before getting brain-damaged.

I've read my share of Snape/Hermione but have never come across that particular atrocity. They're usually abbreviated with SS/HG. I guess it could have been worse. Uhm, Snaper? Or Grape. Oh, dear.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

My impression was that in HP they tended to disdain portmanteaux in favour of cutesy nicknames - HMS Pumpkin Pie for Harry/Hermione, for example. Which I confess I found equally infuriating.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

HMS Pumpkin Pie for Harry/Hermione

what does that mean?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Maybe I made up the HMS bit? Not sure. But evidently I expressed myself badly. What I mean is, they do not say 'Harry/Hermione', or indeed 'Harmione' or 'Herry', but rather they refer to the pairing as 'Pumpkin Pie'.

(There are others who refer to it as Harmony, though, apparently. Which makes a bit more sense.)

Nope, evidently I didn't make up the HMS bit.

Other HP 'ship names include Orange Crush to refer to Harry/Ginny, Leather and Libraries to refer to Draco/Hermione and various other random phrases.

Always Anti-fascist!

I think HMS might be right, cause it's a 'ship, get it? Yuk, yuk.
