FFR/Wank = OTP!
Yep, our friendly neighborhood
fanficrants is up to no good...again!
elle_s_shadow is sick of het shippers bitching about how Harry/Draco isn't canon when their OTP isn't canon either (specifically Draco/Ginny, Draco/Hermione, Harry/Hermione shippers). The responses start out fairly nice, until
incitata begs to differ, and tells
elle_s_shadow to kindly STFU.
And just when things couldn't get worse,
swedish15 takes offense to
elle_s_shadow's generalizations on het shippers.
swedish15: "Congrats. I understand your point. Yet somehow, you manage to generalize too much and you include rather harmless people in your rant. That hurts. Thanks a lot."
elle_s_shadow: "Oh PUHPLEASE. Like I was targeting you. *eyeroll* Get real.
I never said all het-fans were. My point, which you seem to have missed, was that YOUR subtext is no more canon that MY subtext.
And no. Harry/Hermione isn't less OOC. It TOTALLY depends on how its written. There can be h/Hr fics writen like crap, totoally ooc, and there can be h/hr fics written in character and beleivable and perfect. THE SAME GOES FOR ALL PAIRINGS."
windtear: "Just because we weren't your primary target doesn't mean you didn't hit us. And it doesn't mean it didn't hurt.
I understand and accept your point, that your pairing is as valid as ours. Now please understand ours: Generalisations include all people within the generalised classification, and saying "Oh, I didn't mean you!" doesn't negate your initial generalisation or our inclusion within it.
A bit small now, but it has loads of potential.
