Harry Potter Non-Canon Ships Comment Ficathon

THE RULES ARE THUS:

1. WHAT MAKES A NON-CANON SHIP? Anything that is not at least one-sided in the books. This means that Snape/Lily is canon, even if she may (or may not) have ever reciprocated. Bellatrix/Voldemort is canon. Lavendar/Ron is canon. Obviously everyone who's married and/or dates is canon. OBHWF is canon, Harry/Cho is canon. Ships that are not stated as fact in the books are not canon. That means UC ships are good, slash is good, femslash is good. For our purposes, we are not counting JKR's interviews as canon. That means that if you wanted to prompt, say, who knows, Hannah/Neville, you could, because it's not in the text itself.

2. You leave a comment with a pairing and a prompt. You respond to prompts that you like. Your prompt must pertain to a non-canon ship. You may specify a character within that ship if you want the fic written from that characters perspective. You may also specify a timeline if you'd like, or if you want it to take place in the movie!verse.

3. When writing fic, put in your title SHIP - TITLE OF FIC (rating optional). This will help us archive if we later archive things. I don't have time to archive anything right now, but if someone wants to volunteer, we can make that happen.

4. LEAVE FEEDBACK. Comments are the lifeblood of the internet.

5. NO WANK. I'll delete your ass. And we're dealing with ships and I am deletion happy, so watch yourself.

6. There will be spoilers for the movie all over this post, I am sure. You have been warned.

7. Promote this if you please. You can use this code:

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Forgive me for jumping on the comment!train, here, but a.) this conversation about the epilogue and Ginny post-DH is so interesting and RIGHT ON, and b.) I was just reading the comments on the Moviefone article (which I adore and I think is spot on) and there is a comment with my top pet peeve argument against H/Hr:

That they would be a boring couple.

I just. GOD. I totally get it if you ship R/Hr because it's a version of love that you believe (it's not the version of love that *I* believe in, but that's fine), but to argue that H/Hr would be boring is so unbelievably silly. Why are R/Hr a more interesting couple -- because they fight? Would H/Hr be boring because it would be filled with quiet moments of trust and love and discovery and compassion? I'm admittedly probably a few years older than many of the commenters, and I would hate to burst anyone's grand ideas of how love manifests itself after a few years of marriage, but true, deep love is pretty...quiet and calm. Because it doesn't need to be loud and interesting. Because real love just...is.

That turned into a rant and I'm totally interrupting your guys' conversation, so...sorry LOL. Those article comments just got me going.

lol no i love this comment.

Your rant is perfect. I read some of those comments and was seething and just need to. stop. breathe.

IKR? I will not argue with you if R/Hr is like your ultimate version of love. I disagree strongly, but I won't argue because that is personal and whatever. But when you start arguing that H/Hr is boring or INCEST (which has got to be the world's most ludicrous anti-shipping argument), I just cannot abide.

There are legitimate reasons for people to ship R/Hr and I understand why people do--hell, I sort of do. But whatever, ship whatever you want, whatever makes you happy. I don't care. But do not make weak, illogical arguments to make your blind rage towards H/Hr make sense. The incest argument is ridiculous. Like, sure, Harry and Hermione were...closer friends than Ron/Hermione, but it doesn't mean Ron/Hermione weren't part of the trio and friends themselves. They just had more loud arguments, so naturally, their relationship isn't incestuous but Harry/Hermione, who are also not at all related, are? I just. Why? How? Look at your life, look at your choices.
