Harry and Draco -- But the little girls understand

[themostepotente]

WARNING -- SERIOUS FANDOM RANT

Is anyone as sick of pointless, plotless, inane, and tritely written Harry/Draco like I am?

I mean seriously, why the fuck do most people who attempt to write this pairing insist on following the SAME GODDAMN BORING outline?

Sound familiar?

Boy meets boy
Boy hates boy
Boy crushes on boy
Boy ends up fucking boy
Boy angsts
Boy still hates boy

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

What...the...fuck?

What about this pairing zaps the creativity from some people?

Where is it written that *gasp* established H/D with plot is a big fucking no no?

I don't profess to be the best H/D shipper. Far the fuck from it, but at least my H/D stories were different from the norm.

Oh fucking wheee, let's use the same fucking story and just change the kink. I see it all the time. I see the same shitty H/D authors being recced.

Fuck this.

If you hate seeing this as much as I do, voice your opinion. To the creative H/D writers - you KNOW who you are. Give me a shout out, hmm?

If you hate this pairing, tell us all why.

Really disgusted.

I loved it when I first started reading the fic around Christmas '02. Then I got sick of the angst.

Because it was just non-stop, dreadful, dark, gloomy ANGSTANGSTANGST.

Stories with Draco killing Harry or some shit like that.

Nowadays I still read, but only if it's recced and only if it seems good. I like different flavours in my H/D.

Now see I live for the angst. But for God's sake, make the story interesting. Is that so much to ask? *chuckles*

I like the angst as well, I couldn't be a H/D fan if I didn't, but yes, often the excessive angst was used when no actual interesting plot occurred.
