The next Author chat is to be hosted by a very special Author. He has
a huge fan following and is known to write some of the most unique
pieces of fanfiction in the Harry Potter fandom.
Yes!!! I am talking about the one and only Jeconais.
Words fail me to adequately describe the talent of this amazing
Author. I don't suppose there are too many people out there in Harry
Potter fanfiction who haven't read and thoroughly enjoyed This Means War!
Jeconais is a master of writing fics with unusual or seldom before
attempted ships. He has successfully written pairings of
Harry/Hermione, Harry/Luna, Harry/Gabrielle Delacour, Harry/Padma,
Harry/Hannah, even Harry/Pansy, and of course, Harry/Ginny.
I suppose that many people can write fics with such pairings
but
Jeconais writes the characters so well that it allows people to cross
their normal "ship" lines and enjoy the story, no matter the pairing
written. When he started writing his latest epic, White Knight, Grey
Queen, so many people were left astonished at his pairing
Harry/Pansy. I think if most of us look within ourselves, you will
remember that almost nobody thought he could make it work.
Yet, several months later, the fic is complete and has turned out to
be one of the most beloved fics in fandom. Hundreds of fans were
literally left panting for updates.
I think it takes an Author of great caliber to make so many people
change their minds
and Jeconais is exactly that a great Author.
Who else could take a throw-away comment from a fan: "Jeconais could
make the statement 'Harry gets a glass of water' interesting," and
weave it into such a great story that it expanded into the wonderful
Object Lessons trilogy that included "Harry watches Paint Dry," and
"Harry watches Grass Grow," that his fans enjoyed so much.
