That set-up you have there is totally spot on. That's all there is to choose from. It's amazing when I find something that differs from the pattern. Hell, I've written fic like that because I knew it was what they wanted. They don't want AU, they don't want you to take a chance with styling, they don't want violence or infidelity or anything real. They want Harlequin romance meets gay nightclub meets turn the characters into fucking women. Not a fan of whiny Harry and I'm so pretty Draco unless it's humour or a parody. I love Draco, but he is a bitch. A pathetic, insecure little bitch, not some god of sex. More pissed off Harry fic needs to be out there, as well.
Where is it written that *gasp* established H/D with plot is a big fucking no no?
If you find out where it is, point me over there. I like the build-up tension to that sort of a story, but there's only so many I can read. Why can't they already be together? Why does the romance have to be the be-all and end-all of the story?
I see the same shitty H/D authors being recced.
*wonders if I am one who recs and writes them* Yeah, most likely one who writes them heh. It's hard to rec good fic in this ship. There is an overabundance of fic being written, but to weed through it all in only a few hours a day is a task for I don't know who. If you can point me at any good new authors you come across, please dear god do so. I need all the help I can get. Shutting up now.
