Ships

Most of us have read Harry Potter fanfiction. So, which pairings are your least favorite? Which are your favorite?

I have to say I like cannon and most slash couples...I think they're cute. But for some reason I just can not read one where harry and hermione are together. It just doesn't work for me. I can't see them together.

I read a lot of fanfiction! I am deffinalty a canon shipper (Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione) I'm not a big fan of slash though...

Subject: Re: Ships Sun Aug 01, 2010 9:21 pm

I like cannon as well, however I'm not a fan of slash. I'm not a huge Harry/Hermione fan either. I think it's pretty obvious they wouldn't work out and that they're only friends. However, this is merely my opinion. I also think Neville/Luna would be adorable together, and I was upset when I heard they don't get together.

I'm a massive Harry/Ginny shipper♥, as well as a Ron/Hermione shipper (I love the banter xD). However, I'm also a Draco/Hermione shipper (this was before AVPM, too. o.o I dunno, I think I like the irony there). And of course, I love anything involving the Weasley twins (except slash o.o that's just too bloody weird.)

I'm on the fence with slash otherwise. I dunno. It just seems a bit far fetched to me.

I'm also a big Neville/Luna shipper. ^^

I like some slash, it depends on who it's between and how it's written though, but I gotta say I do love Harry/Draco usually.

I of course love Harry/Ginny and Ron/Hermione, but Harry/Hermione just creeps me out, I just can't get past it to read the actual fanfic. But mostly it just depends on how the person writes it, I mean my friend showed me a fanfic and told me that Hermione and Snape get together and I though it would just be terrible and I would hate that relationship, but they made it work for the story.

I don't like Harry/Hermione either. It seems so wrong. I stumbled upon it when I first discovered FF. Scared me for life.
In slash words, i won't mind Remus/Sirius. ANd I love Neville/Luna. Its a disappointment it didn't work out...even though I pretend otherwise.

Remus/Sirius sorta weirds me out sometimes. o.0 But if its well written, I don't mind it. :] I love James/Lily (and I do indulge in Lily/Severus sometimes : x but only when I'm in the right mood for it).

I like Lily/James, too. I like reading stories before they got together, but I also want to see something different. It would be awesome to have an insight on what their married life was like. I think that would make for a good story. It's a shame there aren't too many of those.

I ship Snape/Lily <3

I ship all canon couples, I don't like Harry/Hermione much, I like Neville and Luna, and, ever since AVPM, QUIRRELMORT. Very Happy

Best. Couple. EVER.

I am a massive shipper of Dramione and Hermiron. I also really love James/Lily ships because they're so cute!!!

Subject: Re: Ships Sat Aug 14, 2010 12:52 pm

I don't read a whole lotta FanFic, but when I do, I like canon couples, Snape/Lily, Quirrelmort, Dramione, and the occasional teacher/student just for the weirdness of it.

Subject: Re: Ships Fri Aug 20, 2010 12:09 am

Favorite ships? I'm good with canon ships (Harry/Ginny, Ron/Hermione, etc), but the only one I didn't like was Lupin/Tonks. It was just... BAD. I especially hated Lupin's emo attempt at ditching Tonks in DH. Also, I'm big on Severus/Lily fics. (Not that I don't like James/Lily, but I'm always curious to know how people think Severus and Lily would have ended up.)

Least favorite ship? *prepares for the flying tomatoes* Draco/Hermione. I can buy that a guy who's always teasing a girl might like her, but I can't buy that a guy who calls a girl a racial slur at least once every chapter does.

P.S.: I'm kind of getting into Snape/Hermione, but... Eh, it's taking some getting used-to. The problem is I keep seeing Alan Rickman and Emma Watson instead of JKR's Snape and Hermione, which makes things really creepy (since, y'know, Rickman's old enough to be Emma's grandfather and all.)

I really don't like Draco/Hermione either.... there is tons of fiction of it though, which is annoying to come across, because they bash poor dear Ronald in those stories.

I looked into Snape/Hermione a little, but after a certain fic, it got to weird for me, to I decided to stick to cannon.

I'd say Lily/James is one of faves, also Lupin/Tonks, definitely prefer the canon ships. I mostly just read on fanfiction.net, any other suggestions for good sites?

FictionAlley and LiveJournal tend to be good sites, but be warned: When someone on LJ says their fic is NC-17, they MEAN it. I don't mind smut at all, and even I've been turned off by some of the things I've read there.

Thanks a lot, I've been looking for some good fics to read. I'm not worried about it, sounds interesting.
