I forced you into write me Marcus/Hermione because I was the only one who liked this pairing and it was so rare people were like "WTF?" and you gave in to my whining and begging encouragement and have since written one of the best fics I've ever read which just happens to be M/Hr, a pair that most people go "eew" about and don't even both reading that brilliant Dying by Degrees and it makes me more grrr that people don't read the rare pair fics and comment if the only reason is because they won't give a rare pair a chance *I understand not liking a certain character or ship and have no problems with people reading what they like but to just dismiss a pairing without at least attempting to read one fic without that personal dislike for said character sort of makes me growl at times...*. Of course, I like some rare pairs with characters that are barely in canon as well as some rare pairs with major charactes from canon. And I'm rambling and make no sense. LMAO...It makes me more upset when I see others writing fantastic stories that moved me and made me laugh, cry, turn up the AC and not getting feedback than if I write a rare pair that doesn't get feedback. I know that's odd, but I can't help thinking people might let the lack of feedback discourage them from writing the rare pair plot bunnies or possible convince them that what they're writing isn't good in comparison to the knowledge that people might not like the pairing and then they get discouraged and leave fandom completely. That sort of things makes me sigh and growl and I try my best to spread the word on some of the rare pair fic I've read and enjoyed. And, hey, I have a few more people reading some rare pairs after my recs so maybe that is a positive sign? And isn't het just so the red-headed stepchild? LMAO...Oh well, I write for myself, whether that be het, smut, rare pairs, or popular pairs. *hugs Bunney*

Penny has some great thoughtful discussions on her LJ.
