A BOTH LATE AND EARLY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO
lycoris and _redux and roitelet and spessartine and atrata and bizarity!

And a Fandom Meme, filched from thistlerose:

Name five fanfic cliches you hate

1. fluffy!Lucius - because he *isn't*! 'nuff said!
2. stupid!Ron - yes, he can be thick and juvenile and tactless and, well, academically desinterested, but he's also a bright, brave young man.
3. abused!Draco - because that egotistical, smug little creep would not glorify 'Father' to the high heavens then. Lucius is certainly a demanding, even stern father, but there's got to be something to fuel Draco's devotion.
4. prettified!sexgod!Snape - well, I can enjoy sexgod!Snape, but only with his flaws - making him into a shiny Harlequin Romance hero is cruelty to helpless fictional characters.
5. redeemed-beyond-recognition!Draco - see above: egotistical little shite with a touch of conscience. He ain't easy to love, so show us how hard it is!

Open Note to the Bug Whose Bite/Sting Gave Me That Nasty Inflammation on the Back of My Right Foot:
I hope you rot in hell! Ten dozen times over! F***er!

*And* furiosity has an interesting Poll about Friending.
