Just wondering really....

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Ok, so, I've never posted here before. But I was extremely interesting in something I thought about the other day. Do the Rae/Rob shippers who read Harry Potter ship Harry/Hermione?? I would relly like to know what you guys ship and/or think about this.

Comments

[a-white-rain.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I ship Harry/Hermione, which does have a lot of elements of Robin/Raven. Subtext, understanding of each other, co-dependecy, and partnership.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, thats what I was thinking exactly. Just kinda wondering if the majority did. Thanks for the response!

[lady-sesstra.livejournal.com]

*de-lurks* I ship Harry/Hermione too! Basically for the reasons that a_white_rain listed. ^^

[lady-sesstra.livejournal.com]

...a_white_rain listed. Gaw, my lj-tag skills suck.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Yay for another shipper! Thanks for replying.

[darkemptyheart.livejournal.com]

I read Harry Potter fan fiction, but I don't read Harry/Hermione. I'm more of a Harry/Draco or Harry/Snape type of person, for no logicial reason. Just like the way both pairings can be written. It just intrigues me.

[mercy-slays.livejournal.com]

Yay! Another Slasher like me that happens to like Robin and Raven. ^_^

I'm more of a Ron/Hermione sort of person but hey, whatever floats people's boat. ^_^

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Heh heh heh. Slash.......Thats another thing I was wondering about. Are R/R shippers more open to slash?? I really do think so. Thanks for responding!

[myystic.livejournal.com]

What does one have to do with the other?

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

I dunno. I was thinking since its less 'canon' per se, as is slash. Therefore making rob/rae shippers more open minded. *shrugs* just a thought.

[siren-mage.livejournal.com]

I am BIG into the HP fandom, but I'm another slash girl. Harry/Draco is my OTP but I read pretty much anything featuring Draco as he's my absolute favoritest! :)

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Lol, Draco goes well with almost anything....... >

[jadehunter.livejournal.com]

I ship Harry/Hermione, for much of the same reasons I ship Rob/Rae.

Of course, I also ship Harry/Draco and Harry/Cedric but for entirely different reasons. (Can you say eye-candy? Okay, so my reasons for shipping H/D aren't that shallow...but my reasons for shipping H/C are. And I'm damn proud of it, too. ;p)

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Lol, thats good to know! At least you're proud of your ships. Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.

[moonbeamdancer.livejournal.com]

I go for Harry/Hermione/Ron myself, okay AND Harry/Snape and Hermione/Snape, but I won't say no to good Harry/Hermione fic any day of the week.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

By those three do you mean a triangle or....something else?? I can't help but be curious. >< Thanks for the comment.

[moonbeamdancer.livejournal.com]

Yes, by H/H/R, I mean as a threesome, as in romantic, but well written friendship fics are good too. And the other two are just the other two pairings that I like.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Your icon rocks! I myself ship h/hr but haven't read a story in AGES. And I have no desire to. But oh well.

[moonbeamdancer.livejournal.com]

:) Thanks, it's for another trio I like, but sadly the series has gone down the drain and the newest book (out later this month) will decide if I keep reading.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Another trio?? What series are they from?? I'm slightly interested.

[moonbeamdancer.livejournal.com]

It's the Anita Blake Vampire Hunter series by Laurel K. Hamilton. The trio is a forced one between Jean-Claude, master vampire of St. Louis, Anita Blake, his human servant, though she wasn't too hot on the idea, and Richard Zeeman, a werewolf and the local pack's alpha wolf. That would be Anita in the middle, JC on the left and Richard on the right.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Name seems familiar. Hamilton....aren't her books rather explicit?? If memory serves me well......

[moonbeamdancer.livejournal.com]

Yeah, they are, more or less. For violence and sex mostly, I have no idea how old you are, so I really wouldn't know what to say. Except that I started reading them when I was a teenager, around 14 or 15 I think.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I haven't read the books. But I've heard about em. I am currently of the age of 16. I may look into it.

[moonbeamdancer.livejournal.com]

I recommend the books up to and including Obsidian Butterfly (like 8 or 9 books). After OB, I think they start to go bad, but to each his own and have fun.

[myystic.livejournal.com]

I tend to prefer Rob/Rae friendship or unrequited myself, and I don't read HP fics that have (expanded) trio romances during their school years (though post HBP stuff might change that). Of course, there's nothing wrong with a little unresolved sexual tension;) For future fic though I go for Ron/Hermionie.

[littlebratt.livejournal.com]

*off topic*

Love your icon!

[myystic.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Swipe it if you want it, just credit me:)

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Thats cool. You're probably right. The whole.....trio romances during school. Kinda.....I dunno...odd I suppose. To me at least. Thanks for the comment.

[littlebratt.livejournal.com]

I'm open to Harry/Hermione (maybe for the same reason that they have a similar situation there that with friendship and bonding), though my main ship in the Harry Potter fandom is Draco/Hermione.

(And that leads to other OTP's, such as SesKag [IY] and Zutara [Avatar:TLA].)

[moonbeamdancer.livejournal.com]

Sessy and Kagome? Never thought of that, any good? I like Inuyasha/Kagome and Koga/Kagome. I also like Older!Shippo/Kagome, but just a little.

[pinkmoonusagi.livejournal.com]

I love the H/HR ship! Actually I also love H/D too... ~_~

What other odd or different ships do I have...? Miaka/Hotohori and Yuki/Tohru are just a few...

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Lol, I could research those people....or just ask you. Where they from?

Orange Crush

[silky-sarii.livejournal.com]

Actually, I do not. HarryGinny, RonHermione.

RobinRaven is actually the only OOC pairing I've ever shipped.

SabeObiWan doesn't really count, unless you take into account Siri, so...

Re: Orange Crush

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Awe, I kinda wished they'd end up together. Siri and Obi-Wan that is. But oh well. It's good to know you like Robin/Raven. Do you mind if I ask why??

Re: Orange Crush

[silky-sarii.livejournal.com]

Well, I don't really know much about Siri, other than the fact she's a Jedi. I never cared about the SW fandom until this year.

Um, I suppose it's because Robin & Raven easily understand each other and have many elements of their past in common. But they also balance each other out: where Robin is so obsessive with the end goals, Raven tries to be more logical and level-headed (kinda like Siri and ObiWan, or so they say). And given the many times they've faced trials together, I'd like to think they have a closer connection than, say, RavenBB or RavenFlash or RobinStar.

Isn't there an "officially cannon" novel about Siri and ObiWan though? I'd like to read and know more about Siri, but I don't know the title...

Re: Orange Crush

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

I never really thought about them balancing eachother out. Makes a lot of sense though.

And yes! There's a canon novel. Well, more of a series. It's called Jedi Apprentice. I'm not entirely sure of which book the 'good stuff' is. But she's a re-occuring character in the series. You might look into "New Missions" Hope I helped.

Re: Orange Crush

[silky-sarii.livejournal.com]

I know that series! My brother has one book...where Siri has to flirt with this ugly brute & Obi-Wan just...drools, basically.

[mistahfahlgren.livejournal.com]

This post makes me laugh, mainly because I have always been a very very big Harry/Hermione shipper. I've never really came up with a reason why I like the pair, it was just what I liked by instinct.

As for Raven and Robin I really don't have excuses for why I like them either, I just do.

I'm not big on slash, and especially not Harry/Draco slash. My favourtie slash couple is Sirius/Remus.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Same for me. Pure instinct. I didn't even realize I liked rob/rae until it just hit me one day when a friend said she liked rob/star and I didn't even realize you could ship that.....It was weird.

But anyway, ah..........Sirius/Remus....my first slash pairing. Thanks for the reply!

[azelmaroark.livejournal.com]

Yep, I'm a HP fan. But I'm not a Harry/anyone shipper--I just can't see him as sexual. It bothers me. I don't know why. If I had to, I suppose it would be Harry/Male!Blaise, and Blaise is a girl (correct? I'm out of it...) and Harry is straight. But in general, I really, really do not like shipping Harry with anyone.

With the HP fandom, I honestly have very few ships. I love Remus/Sirius but that's the only one I really cling to. Those who know me will know that I tend to like badwrong!pairings, and with that in mind, Snape/Peter is appealing as is Voldie/Bella.

I used to think that if I were Hermione, I would like neither Harry nor Ron, but post HBP I find it very difficult to like/identify with her whatsoever, so now I'm just falling back on my Harry=asexual hangup.

[rae-valerious.livejournal.com]

Really?? And it's been a while for Harry Potter for me, Blaise.......rings a bell. But thats about it. I'll just read the nest book to see if anyone hooks up with anyone. Thanks for your thoughts!

[overchay.livejournal.com]

Blaise is a guy :]

[alice----xx.livejournal.com]

Harry/Luna = ♥

Kthnxbai.

[alory-shannon.livejournal.com]

Hee hee, I do ship H/Hr...hardcore, too. The thought of R/Hr squirks me.

And yes, I do see that there are a lot of similar elements in the H/Hr and Rob/Rae fan pairing.


Also, it seems most of the ships I support are not the ones that "win" in the end, which makes me sad. =(

lol

And no slash for me, thanks.

[sushiwitch.livejournal.com]

I'm a HP fanatic but I don't ship H/Hr. Altough I ship R/R, I ship Ron/Hermione and some other pairings(non-slash) from HP. But I agree with alory_shannon, I also see the similarities between H/Hr and R/R.

[overchay.livejournal.com]

H/H is the only HP ship I actively 'ship' for. I'm really a slasher, so my R/R and H/H love is rather strange >.>

[flareonfury.livejournal.com]

I ship H/Hr too, and its funny but I never thought that they would have similiar elements as Raven/Robin. I also ship like a hundred different pairings: Hermione/Draco, Hermione/Bill, Hermione/Charlie, Hermione/Fred or George, Hermione/Lucius, Hermione/Snape, Hermione/Remus, Harry/Luna, Hermione/Cedric, Hermione/Tom Riddle (timeturner fics where he isn't Voldermort), and I think thats it... I have tons of crossover pairings though, lol.
