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 think I might have to take maeglinyedi's stance here, and ask what's the point? Well of course you can vent all you like, I know as well as anyone how cathartic it can be, but it won't make any difference. *shrug*

Personally, I don't read the pairing because I don't see sexual tension between them. Sometimes a cigar really is just a cigar.

That, and I think Draco is probably one of the most boring and two-dimensional characters in the series, and couldn't care less about him.

That could be said of any pairing, really. Because I just don't see anything sexual period where Dumbledore is concerned and some people just live to pair him with Snape.

But like I was explaining to Maeglin, I finally hit a point where I said 'fucking enough already.'

Thanks for commenting :-)
