SHIP: Non-Shippers Unite!

No: HPFGUIDX 31497


Heh. Somehow, I think the subject line is somewhat of a contradiction but 
I'll leave it be...

Hey, I have something to say about Sean Biggerstaff! *grins cheekily* 
However, as this is the main list and I'd rather die than break the rules of 
the HPfGU-verse, I'll stay mum.

Ah, yes, the brave and intrepid souls who are forever regulated to the 
sidelines during the Shipper Wars due to their non- or anti-shipping status. 
It's hard to get involved in a debate in which you have little opinion 
about. Perhaps that's why some of us are reduced to raising our hands to the 
sky and shrieking, "Why? Why? Why?". I would try to wade in and argue for or 
against Harry/Ron being the light of Hermione's eye but it's hard when I 
firmly believe she doesn't belong with EITHER and would prefer her to remain 
just friends with the two boys, thank you very much.

As you can guess, I'm a happy non-shipper, even a bit of an anti-shipper. I 
cheerfully ignore all carefully constructed arguments that shipping will 
inevitably happen in the next three books and snort at the evidence of 
romance. But lest the shippers accuse me of being condescending, I will say 
that do like reading the Shipper Wars and think shippers are swell. I also 
say, rage on you guys as long as things don't get dangerously personal.

I wish I had something witty to add to this, but alas I don't. But it made 
me chuckle.
