Believable/Unbelievable Pairings

[themostepotente]

Have you ever looked at a fic pairing and said one of the following;

1.) Oh my GOD, that would SO never happen!

2.) What crack was this person smoking? And where could I get some?

3.) I just canNOT wrap my head around that!

So I must ask...

What pairing(s) do you find ridiculously OOC?

What pairing(s) do you find the most believable?

Let's hear what you have to say!

I really want to read it. I started what would have been a novella-length Bellatrix/Ginny, except that Hermione insisted on coming with Ginny, and then when Ginny went away she was just *there* and wouldn't go *away*! I don't know what to do with her! But eh, I chose this stupidly wanky style to write it in anyway, and it's much too complicated for me to write more.

That said, I adore Lucius/Ginny with all the love in the world.

Fabula Rasa's Snack reigns supreme.

And you know, Beth, you raise a very good point addressing such factors as time and place. Agreed 100%.

Sirius/Remus seems to be the most believable pairing I'm finding.

It was one of my first forays into slash.

I hate Snape/Dumbledore. Thank you for pointing that out, Dana. Way, way, WAY the fuck out in left field.

I personally do not like Ron slashed, and I've written Draco/Ron before. It didn't come easy, and I could only do it non-con style.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Lucius/Tonks wouldn't do it for me either.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Hmm, I think I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here :-)

The greatest fanfic writer could write Dumbledore/Harry and nothing they could do would convince me to think otherwise. For me, if I hate a pairing, I hate that pairing. No inbetweens.

Fluffy Lucius/Harry would be like throwing holy water on a vampire. It's just...not done :P

Snarry is such a grey area. It could go either way.

I love, love, LOVE Snucius in the '70's! You write Snucius, don't you?

Re: Hmm...

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

One-hundred percent agreed on Dumbledore/anyone.

But I do cherish my non-con :-)

[anjenue.livejournal.com]

Yes, ma'am, I do. I just wrote one, in fact, Leather and Lace (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rosesanguina/97462.html), if you're interested.

There is definitely something delicious about Snucius, isn't there?

You've thrown down a gauntlet, and if I were the greatest fanfic writer in the world, by gum, I'd take it up. But I'm not, so I won't.

Though I will concede that the thought of Dumbledore and Harry copulating makes me want to pound sporks into my brain.

The ultimate OOC, one that no matter what the premise is I scoff at and cannot force myself to read...SNAGRID! Bleccccch!

*gag, wretch*

I just don't understand it, I don't get it, and I don't think I ever wanna. And anything basically, involving Dumbledore, leave the poor old wizard alone for goodness sakes! And Harry/Hermione, because I hate them together soooooooo much, and Hermione with anyone but Ron just feels so wrong, especially Harry!

As for most believable...definitely Sirius/Remus, there is no canon to the contrary! Is there? I hope not, but perhaps my memory selectively fails me! Oh and Snape/Harry, because it is my OTP (or as close as I will ever get :D), and because I said so! he he...

*snuggles Snarry for all time*

It burns! It burns us precious! :D

[dphearson.livejournal.com]

*Hee!*
*blushes*

Please don't look at my fics. Please !

*blushes*
*runs away*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Mine or Prill's?

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Now, you know I'm wanting you to prove me wrong :-)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Doh! Dana, don't run! Senk me links, girl! Send me links! I'm so curious now!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Heading over there now :-)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

*huggles Snarry with you*

One of my long standing faves!

Originally hers, but I like that one too. Where's that in the movie (can't remember a part where he smiled...)?

Just found your hilarious journal. Concerning your question there are quite a few ships that I believe are totally OOC.

Hagrid/Snape :shudder: actually anything taht involves Hagrid. The idea of Hagrid and Harry really makes me sick

Snape/Hermione - naaaaah

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

You'll find lots of humour and angst here :-)
