katia | Do you like Hermione?

Hmm, I am not sure why I haven't posted for a while. I have certainly been here, I guess I have nothing much to say, which is odd for me, and also not quite true.

So this will be long and rambly and behind cuts, but before that a quick rec.

Apocrypha by xylodemon is a wonderfully rich Severus/James. I hadn't realised how much that pairing appeals to me. This is seven parts and completed, the link goes to part one.

Today went rather quickly. Two of my lessons were cancelled (well one was and somebody told me the other was, even though it wasn't, and now I have to deal with catching up and an angry techer) and so I had time to finish the fic I am writing Yay me! Now all I have to do it is type it up. And I would have done that if I didn't keep getting interrupted which is starting to get annoying. I have been trying to write this post for a long time, but I watched the Rotter's club, which is a brilliant mini series set in the 70s in Birmingham. Today was the second out of three parts and it is so cool, with the hair and politics and trade unions and they did Othello in school and this boy went to London and ended up having a whole lot of sex with this much older woman and he was so cute and pleased. I am not sure why I am writing this, nevermind. I have started watching tv again. It is nice. My love for the OC and Smallville and SG1 is growing. There is so much I watch right now and it makes me happy and needing fic, and even though those fandoms are quite established, they just don't have enough fic. I really love the fact that in the HP fandom, there is so much incredible fic, yes there is a lot of crap too, but there is also a fic for any random pairing you are looking for and with any random kink and that is why it rocks so much. I want something different when it comes to OC fic, but I am not sure where to find it. Not that I have really searched very much but still. And this is all I will say for now, because I planned to say more but I kept doing other things and so I won't.

And now a very simple poll. Because I have seen a lot of animosity towards Hermione and I am not sure why people don't like her. But that is for another post. Now I just want to know if you do, to see whether she is well liked or not. And this refers to canon Hermione.

Hello. I saw your comment in

chains_of_irony's journal and liked the sound of you. I've friended you; friend me back? I'm also going to Oxford, grades permitting of course. My name's Heather, and you can find out about me by reading my userinfo. It's not fantastically written, but I do not profess to be eloquent. And I really hope that as a potential PPEist you don't laugh at all my crude and misinformed political opinions. ;)

Oooh, and I voted "yes". I do like Hermione. I don't read much fanfiction, so perhaps my mind has not been perverted by the fanon portrayal. I think she's a really nice girl, although a tad unconvincing as a character at times. When I was 12/13 I was very like early!Hermione, though as we've both grown up our personalities have diverged. Still, I identify with her.

Hi, I've just added you. I am Katia. And don't worry, your userinfo is really well written and informative, and wow you do maths and further maths! You must be so smart. I am so bad in maths, but I need an A in it, as it is part of my conditional offer.

And I won't laugh at your political opinions, as the fact that you have some, unlike the vast majority of our peers is something :) Also I quite agree with you, even though I am more Lib Dem, than Labour, because I am more liberal than most. And I don't think I'd ever want to be an MP, it is just so difficult to become one and if you do, you might never get anything done, however I wouldn't say no to a senior adviser job. :D

And now to Hermione, I am very pleased that you like her. Because clearly everyone should ;) The fact that I identify with her is probably the main reason I forgive her faults so easily. Also we have the same hair.

Do you like Hermione?
