Do you like Hermione?

[katia]

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.

No need to appologise, I want an honest answer because I want to write an essay on her and I was wondering what people thought. I will have a second poll, asking people why they like/hate her, because I am curious.

I will do that poll when it is posted. I should make the hubby do it to, since he is not the fan geek I am, but he still totally sides with her.

Good, I want more people to respond, as I will then get a wider variety of reasons. But you can tell me now, why is it that you don't like her? I am not judging you or anything, I just want to know.

Alright, so I read what you had to say below, about peoples fandom causing them to dislike her. I disliked her before I even knew I had a fandom! I am going to gather my thoughts, and send you an email that was not written at 1 in the morning with my thoughts on her. It is fine to share it, I just have a feeling it is going to get long. Actually, so that my flist can get in on it I will post it in my journal, I will let you know when it goes up.

My comment was not directed at you, it was just one of the reasons I could come up with. Because my problem is that I cannot think of many reasons and I want to know them.
I can't wait for the email. :)
