Ah, yes, all right.

You know, I was annoyed too when I saw the quoted text from Merry's fic, but it was more because I love that particular fic *so* much that I felt weirdly possessive of it (*), and I was upset that it hadn't been quoted quite as flatteringly as it might have been.

(*) the exact possessiveness, I might add, that fuels fandom itself-- this is meta-fandom!

[edited to finish a sentence. God, why did I even get UP this morning?]

Oooh, this is good. God bless Shrift & Nestra, the bestest enablers that there ever ever were.

Thanks for letting me know, Ple. I was curious how that would go over, especially in light of the TWOP banner debacle. I don't really bother to keep up with Smallville fandom issues; I barely keep up with Smallville.

Fay, you evil, evil woman, I clicked on the Bouncing Rat link, started reading, started laughing, and now I've got the thing bookmarked--AND YOU'VE GOT ME READING THE HP FIC! I thought I was safe. Even though Draco does give me this evil thrill, like seeing Spike at school--if Spike were a real blond.

Bwahahaha! Score one toaster to FayJay!

What got me was Draco trying to get out of bed (quoted roughtly)

Up!

All right, too ambitious.

Along, then.

And the HeteroYay yelling across the room. Is that the proper form for when male and female are Yay-ing at each other? Lord, we've got our own dialect.

Bless the Draco/Hermione. Bless.

Oh, god, I'm almost done with that story! It is too bloody fucking funny. My sisters keep asking what the hell I'm screaming-laughing at.

Hey, Fay, by the way, incoming in a sec.

Hubby kept asking me what was so funny, and I couldn't think of a way to tell him I was reading Harry Potter fan fic without making him think his wife had gone totally around the bend, so now I have a headache from suppressing laughter.

Poor Seamus! And Dumbledore's brother!

Heh! Yes, poor Seamus. Also Dean. Fanon!Draco is great fun. (Go on - try Lust Over Pendle. You know you want to.)
