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.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

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.

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

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.

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!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
So is no-one writing plain old Hermione with Harry or Ron when they grow up, or life at Hogwarts from Hermione or Ginny's POV? Because I really don't think I could buy any of the Gryffindor kids with Draco. Sometimes hate is just plain old hate rather than a disguise for lust, y'know?

I'm beginning to understand this now. It's all about the journey, isn't it?
I don't read HP fic, so I'm just asking this out of idle curiosity, but why is Draco such a popular character in fanfic? I've seen that he gets paired with Harry constantly and with Hermione occasionally, and I just don't get it. In the books (and the movies for that matter) there's nothing likable or redeemable about him. He doesn't seem like a conflicted villain, or a character with hidden depths. He's just a cruel adolescent.
