HARRY POTTER NON-CANON SHIPS COMMENT FICATHON

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:

hahahahahaha.

yeah, i don't know. i mean, we don't really know that much about the patils, do we?

i need a gen fic that's like the patils and cho and they go and get tea once a week or something. ~asian club.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

hahahaha #thingsiwouldread

i decided last week that cho is the only female character in this series with complete characterization. i love her, but on a certain level i find that alarming since she has around 25 pages of page time.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[hyacinthian.livejournal.com]

seriously, things i am thinking about writing: cho backstory because I NEED TO KNOW HOW CHO THINKS OF HERSELF AND WHETHER OR NOT SHE THINKS OF HERSELF AS CHINESE-BRITISH AND WHETHER OR NOT THE FIRST PART OF THE HYPHEN IS IMPORTANT. i mean, she commits herself to the mission. she's in ravenclaw, the mission to some extent isn't as much a huge part of her arc as it is supposed to be for gryffindors. and like, i just want to know what her parents think about this and what she and the patils and the other poc think about this war because it is a war being fought against the 'other,' the muggles who have no magical bloodlines, but on the other hand, they're othered in a completely different way. it has to impact the way they view the fight. it has to.

lol involving race in everything i do in fandom nbd.

i tried to talk to rl people about harry potter and it did not go well. i argued her onto cho is a developed character and then she was like "yeah but i still hate her." a;jdfkkaj;ldfjkf aghhhhhhh.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

yes. ravenclaws who fight are my favorites. luna fucking lovegood appreciation life. i also wonder on a certain level how race functions in there because no one ever comments on it but we only see the perspective of white people so i'm like, how does this even work? does the wizarding world conceptualize race the way we do? WHY ARE THERE NO POC AT HOGWARTS. questions i have.

no, cho chang is the best character. i know more about cho chang in those 25 pages than i know about any other female character except maybe hermione but even hermione i have to fudge around a bit to get. you know my feelings on this.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[hyacinthian.livejournal.com]

yes. yes. no one ever talks about it, and i think that's partly because europe has less of a racial focus than the us. but it can't be a non-issue. identity issues everywhere. and britain and china have a ridiculous history. And it's like the wizarding world is this bubble and so like, I think it must feel even more isolating because they're the only poc. THEY'RE THE ONLY POC. and to my knowledge, cho chang is the only east asian girl at hogwarts so like. i want to know what her parents think. i want to know how chinese she thinks she is. and like, i want to know this for the patils too because hi, who am i, but someone else should tell me what to think about the patils because they're south asian and therefore, whole other ball game, but same general bag of issues, and one of the patils is in ravenclaw. so like. do they just get together every once in a while? or even like cho and lee, who are really two awesome poc who become part of the resistance while harry's gone. i want to know what they think about this war. because while they're safe in this war because it's about magic, they have to be aware about the color lines that exist. they have to because there's so few poc at hogwarts. it fascinates me. is there a super secret club? like what do they do? how do they voice any feelings they have about this?

cho chang is my girl.

i think umbridge and narcissa are well-drafted too but narcissa is like cho in getting about 20 pages tops

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

umbridge is also perf. narcissa is well-constructed but motherhood narratives, you know my feelings on them.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[eleusis-walks.livejournal.com]

narcissa is totally a mother narrative but unlike molly weasley where it's all about ~motherhood~ as a thing with narcissa it feels more like she values family and love over the belief systems that defined her entire life, and i like that. bitch lies to voldemort. she-balls of steel.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

absolutely. iawtc.

molly weasley needs to gtfo. i am always surprised when i find people who like her. a lot of fandom likes her. not my daughter you bitch. whatever. dgaf.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[eleusis-walks.livejournal.com]

i liked her when i was a child but she bugs me hardcore now.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

i didn't pay attention to the weasleys as a child and she pisses me off now

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[eleusis-walks.livejournal.com]

i think she kind of reminded me of my own mother but in retrospect with hindsight she reminds me of all my own mother's worst qualities as a parent

whoops

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

lollol whoops.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[zauberer-sirin.livejournal.com]

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO LIKE MOLLY?

this disturbs me so much i can't even.

Re: IS THIS SHIP CANON OR NOT?

[anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com]

MOST OF FANDOM LIKES MOLLY.

this fandom is so wrong.
