Come Close and Talk Fannish To Me

The way my schedule worked out this week (part chance, part because I worked on Saturday and had a family outing at too-fucking-early-o'clock on Sunday), I have today off, sans a few appointments.
 
So anybody in the mood to gab about fandom?

Things I have been into recently:

•Community (besides the ubiquitous Jeff/Annie, my interest is piqued in Abed/Annie, Abed/Britta, and Britta/Annie).

•The Vampire Diaries. I just rewatched the pilot last night and was filled with happiness and joy. And I remembered why I had the foolish belief back then when this show started that I could ship Good Girl/Good Vampire. Oh, to be so young and foolish.

•Harry Potter. I'm currently on the downhill slope of Goblet of Fire and Hermione is maintaining a high standard of awesome. (Also, I like Krum/Hermione more and more as time goes on. He was a famous Quiddich star! Who went for the brainy girl! Who tragically paid more attention to the Boy Who Lived and had a crush on her oblivious best friend! SPEND THE SUMMER IN BULGARIA, HERMIONE!)

•Anastasia! I rewatched that movie with my mom a couple of nights ago and it was a really good childhood flashback. (Mom: "Did they just blame the Russian revolution on magic? Did Dimitri and Anya just elope with no money?" Me: "I'm so glad you waited until I was older to nitpick like this. (But you're right, of course.)"

•*points to tag list* While some things I later end up disliking end up in my tag-system, that and my icons are a good way to see what things I at one point liked enough to believe I'd be talking about them more than once.

oh definitely, and ron really should have caught them navel-grinding. preferably while he was with lavender.

So agreed. And I choose that line in the GoF movie about Krum and Hermione not doing that much talking to mean 'we're snogging in so many deserted corridors it's crazy.'

it probably exists somewhere too, looking at the size of hp fandom, and yet finding it, for that very reason...

If you do, I would adore links. But diving into HP fandom is scary.

oh, if i remember correctly they weren't even being subtle about what they were implying with that one! but the chaste(ish) version of course. i'm sure puberty led them places.

lmao, ikr. finding something well-written would be the challenge... but there are some truly astonishing writers in the fandom. mission!

There really, really are. I've read pairings I knew would have imagined I'd like, simply because the writing was so fabulous.
