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 don't actually write the ship or read it all that often, so perhaps that is why I haven't minded the stories I've read. I've been much more annoyed lately with how similar many of the SS/HG stories are sounding but that's probably because I've read so many of them. I've gotten very picky about what I read there as a result. I think any ship may get old after awhile. Right now, I'm on a big Snupin kick and reading as much of that as I can find ;) But honestly, most of them are somewhat similar too for the same reasons - the author has to explain how Snape got over the Lupin hate.

I don't think Snape hated Lupin nearly as much as Black or Potter. Makes getting over the 'hatred' that much easier.
