Bitch, please.

First, I am not speaking of any individual when I say this. This is something that has been bothering me for a while because I get told this a lot. Frankly, it is driving me insane.

Harry/Scorpius does not equal chan.

Cross Gen does not equal chan.

Why do people think this? Is ALL Snarry chan? I'm sure there are plenty of Snarry authors that would be unimpressed to hear that. We can accept that in every pairing there are some 'common squicks' that are more prevalent than others, like Harry/Lucius and non-con. But they do not have to go together.

What if people went around saying HP fandom is full of nothing but teens having sex in the Room of Requirement? Ok, granted, some people do say it. Doesn't that make you want to scream? I mean really, wouldn't it drive you nuts if someone reduced your fandom to a bunch of teenage fumblings? Like the entire fandom was restricted to Hogwarts days? The boys could never grow up and get careers?

I've written 8 Cross-gen fics including 6 Harry/Scorpius. NONE are chan. Chan is not implied by ANY pairing. Chan is about the ages of the characters.

Draco/Scorpius implies incest. It just DOES.

Harry/Scorpius DOES NOT IMPLY chan. Please stop assuming that. If you don't want to read the pairing, don't read it. I really don't care. Maybe Harry/Draco is all that you ever want to read. Maybe you don't like age disparity. Maybe the epilogue makes you want to spork you eye out. Totally understandable. But please don't dismiss the pairing because some fics in the ship are chan. There are chan Harry/Scorpius fics. There are also wonderful of fics with Scorpius over 17. If anyone wants non-chan harry/scorpius recs, you just let me know.

Sniffs.

I think you're getting confused with Ron/Hermione there.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

Ron/Hermione!!! *sporks my eyes out*

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

There's so much Drarry I can't read because they will ship that as a secondary pairing. Shudders.

So I can take creature fic, mpreg, darkfic... a bit of ROn and I'll backbutton instantly

Ur icon is a scary mofo so I'm just gonna nod mah hed and back our sloooooooooooooowly. O.O

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

He was a birthday present and he's lovely. ~strokes the pretty Lucius~

There's a matching Snape one I won't show you since you don't like him.

[frantic-mice.livejournal.com]

Luce is quite gorgeous BUT!! he has creepy eyes that blink at me. They PEER into mah SOUL. O.O If Satan was a Jewish man with a blondoh wigoh...

I LOVAGE Snape liek WOAH and I read lovely Snapegen BUT I just think he should never ever ever have sex. Ever. EVER. Snapesex is wrong. -_-

He's peering into your bank account, and wondering whether it's worth imperio.

~finds matching Snapey icon~

HGSS was my otp for years, but after Deathly Hallows I do find it really hard to think of him as a sexual creature so I sympathise. I moved onto HGLM because an impotent, murderous bigot was a better romantic prospect than poor damaged Snape.

I don't think I've ever seen that Snape icon. He's adorable. :D

*chokes on tea*

I always thought of it more as an 'I'm too sexy for this icon' look, but I prefer your interpretation.

[romaine24.livejournal.com]

omg I've never seen the Snape one. I love his eyebrows and that wink!

I think you meant a poor dead Snape. *ducks under desk*

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

LMFAO! That is sooooo what I was thinking but decided I didn't want to get hit by a pimp cane.

I did not. I really did NOT.

Tuts at you.

[frantic-mice.livejournal.com]

LAWL!!! :DDDDDDDD Aww Poor Snape. *petshim*

I can't rly talk. I lovage Draco which in many circles is the poor man's version of Luce. Just as bigoted but slightly less GRAND.

(ILU him thou sooooo sooo much!!!)

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

Less jail time as well.

I play with Draco sometimes. He's fun in a different way.

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

plus he has all those 'I wish I was as cool as my daddy issues'.

I do adore those Malfoy boys.

[shiv5468.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, for a comic writer like me, he's superb to play with

[marguerite-26.livejournal.com]

*stares*
