Memes, one fandom, one just exhibitionism :)

The Love/Hate Meme
(gacked from millefiori)

1. The pairing you first fell in love with:
Harry/Draco: I'm an utter sucker for love/hate relationships, and this is perhaps the ultimate example. Rhysenn's 'Irresistible Potion' hooked me way back, but I still like and read the pairing a lot, although I've grown quite picky about quality. When I discovered Harry/Lucius, it eclipsed H/D in my reading (and writing), though.

2. The pairing you never expected to love as much as you do now:
Harry/Snape: I honestly could not see the appeal of it for a long time, but I tried it out when it got recced more frequently by people whose opinions I trust. I think what really lured me in was the incredible quality of most of the HP/SS fic out there.

3. The pairing everyone else loves that you don't:
Sirius/Remus: I don't actively *dislike* it. I've read more than a handful of fics that knocked my socks off, but I wouldn't pick up a random fic without someone telling me to. It just very often has too little conflict to interest the love/hate fanatic in me :). And puppyfluff turns my stomach.

4. The pairing you love that everyone else hates:
Ron/Lucius: well, I've no idea whether everybody *hates* it, but nobody writes it :). I just believe that Ron deserves some torture too, and it has fascinating dynamics, and two of my favourite characters... I'd just be a happier person if there were a handful more stories out there!

5. The pairing you used to love but don't any longer:
none, really... I tend to stay in love with favourite pairings. Well, Hermione/Snape, perhaps, of which I read quite a bit in my earlier fandom days, and then kind of shunned. But it would be lying to say I don't love it any longer – I've just gone on another reading spree...

Boring Meme because I have too much to do and am procrastinating
