party like it's 2003
I've been having a huuuge HP renaissance lately. I am still working my way through all three million words of Saving Connor, but I have found time in the meanwhile to reread a buttload of ancient Harry/Draco masterpieces like Irresistible Poison and How Harry Potter Got His Groove Back and Seamus is Seamus and You are Yourself and oh my god I don't even know what else. That fic where Draco's Patronus is Harry and there's a spider tattoo! That fic where they take a class in sex magic! I HAVE BEEN ALL UP IN FICTIONALLEY, IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY.
And there's new stuff! People apparently kept writing after I left the fandom??? This and this and this!
I was thinking about it, and you know, everything I continue to love and miss about HP fandom is exemplified by the Saga of the Canon of Blaise Zabini. Ludicrous amounts of fanon! Hilarious entitled wank! Massive projecting on the parts of the authors! The perils of an open canon! Wars being waged over single words in the text that no one outside of fandom came close to noticing! A beautiful girl! No, a suave Italian guy! No, a sexy black dude! ♥♥♥♥♥ There never was a fandom quite like it before or since, you know? Ohhh, HP.
Anyway, I am seeing HBP withthehoyden on Sunday. IT IS SAFE TO SAY I AM EXCITED.
