I don't think I can promise you Snape/Hermione, but I'll try to get back to Snape at some point - maybe Snape/Lily, maybe just Grumpy!Snape. 'Cause he's fun.
Then I'm a happy girl. Because you write Snape wonderfully.
Um. And teacher/pupil is kind of an issue for me, for obvious reasons, even with both people over the age of consent. I mean, in the real world age gaps don't squick me, if people are grown ups. But I feel kind of antsy about HP.
No, I can totally understand the squick. In fact, that's why I'm a little wary of most of the S/H fic out there; I just don't trust the authors to write it well enough to make me ignore the faint shouts from my conscience.
But I can understand that Snape/GrownUpHermione could totally have a MrKnightley/Emma thing going on. Or, you know, MrRochester/FeistyJaneEyreWithABrainTheSizeOfManhattan.
Yes. And again, some of it works really well. Some of it doesn't. Which is why I'm whining at the writers I know to write me something, because I trust them. I just want well-written het Snape fic; I don't have a OTP, just a fascination with Snape.
I probably should have put this in Bitchy Fic, but this is a Fic Challenge along the lines of Secret Slasha.
It's called FlashFic a thon, write a 1000 word fic for someone and someone will write one for you. You send in two pairings (or threesomes) you like, plus a sentence saying your preferences about the style of writing you like (dark,happy, torture,etc) by April 8 and the stories are due in by April 21.
Details are at marguerite26's lj Flashficathon
By the way--it's any pairing of any characters that have appeared on the show at any thime. Het or Slash.
Hey, I'm like a magpie, picking up odd bits of this and that. I try to pass on the good stuff.
Finally!
'My fandom' lj icons for M*A*S*H. I'm happy now.
Oh, those are cute!
And how silly is it that I just now realized of course Hawkeye and Trapper would be slashed to kingdom come?
LOL -- every time I think I've lost my innocence I'm proved wrong.
What Consuela said!
For its day, M*A*S*H was very ground-breaking.
Those slash-coloured glasses, eh? Man, but they're powerful. It's only recently, in happening across reruns of
Magnum P.I.
that I realise that Magnum/Higgins is practically canon. I mean, really - absofuckinglutely camp as a Judy Garland factory, with the whole TomOfFinland!Detective living with his uptight and thoroughly queenalicious mate. It's all rather touching, actually. And I nearly bit through my tongue to keep from cackling when I caught five minutes of
Home Front
last night, with Lawrence and Dairmuid (is it Dairmuid? Pretty Irish gardener chap) being irresistably slashable. I was chastising myself for commiting automatic RPS slash upon their relationship, when Lawrence turned to his companion and said "Oooh, talk Latin some more. I do
love
it when you talk Latin" in what was very clearly an intentional piece of camera-friendly (but, I presume, not real) flirtation. Conscious slash-enabling, type of thing. And actually, that does happen quite a lot. I'm not sure whether it's a Zeitgeist thing or if it's been ever thus?
(pssst, FayJay, I did read "Web". And even though I'm strictly a no-Tolkein woman, the story was gorgeous. Next up, once I can find the damned things since dymphna remains unattainable: all 27K words of Faith by Nights.)
I'm doing an incubus story for the Anthology.
If you liked
Web,
it's worth checking out Kate B's
Beauty,
which is a sort of companion-piece. Same site.

Oh,
excellent.
