Yes, dahlinks, "chick on cell" was me. I assume it won't make anyone feel any better that the reference wasn't on my own behalf?

LOL you actually recommended it to me in March :). I have read a wee bit, but the whole crackiness at first put me off it. I'll try it again though... I did approve of the Snape/Voldemort and Snape/Peter.

It gets less cracky. I don't think she even intended it to get that serious, and then I don't think ever had the stomach to go back and fix it, but it's completely fucking mesmerizing.

I remember skipping ahead a bit, and liking how Peter developed.

I clearly also need more well-written Snape/Voldemort and/or Peter/Voldemort fics, despite the fact that I really do approve of the ship that was introduced in book 7 (not mentioning it just because I dont want to spoil anyone who hasn't read the last book yet). They are both frustratingly difficult to come by!

I think that ship works for JKR's world, but not for the world in which people are actually capable of paying attention to and feeling more than one emotion at a time. Peter really has become a throwaway character for everyone and that's a shame, obviously there has to be some complexity in there.

The ship I didn't name? I would agree with that to a degree, if so. Or did you mean Snape/Voldemort?

I hate that Peter has been thrown away. I really like him a lot, and particularly enjoy writing about him and playing him. OF course, my version of Peter is typically transgender too, so ...

The 'ship you didn't name.

Peter as trans is one of those things that works weirdly well with the film portrayal.

Oh yes. *grin* I think we talked about that too in March. And you said the actor who played him as a teen reminded you of an intersex friend in apperance?

As for the ship I didn't name, definitely. Works well in the books, but that degree of feeling is less likely outside of the books. In any case, I prefer the idea of a Snape who had other relationships. Nonetheless, I ship Snape/Voldemort a bit less these days. Not with the interest I once had. Though I'd probably read Voldemort/almost anyone if it wasn't chan.

Occassionally some interesting Voldemort/adult Hermione will pop up.

[upstart-crow.livejournal.com]

Very curious! I've only ever seen one fan art for that pair. I'll have to watch for it. I don't usually read Hermione/anyone fics. To me, she just works best with Ron, and I don't generally read fics for canon couples because canon typically covers enough ground for me. But I might actually like Voldemort/Hermione.

I do think Bellatrix/Voldemort is the most interesting if it's unrequited, though. Someday I'll have to blather about my take on Bella/Rhodolphus.

Which I guess sort of rules out Ginny... *shudder* I'm weird like that.
