  Hi! I'm delurking for the first time here, so just thought
  I'd say hi 
  and ask a question or two (hope they haven't been asked to death 
  already).
  I've noticed quite a bit of discussion about Harry/Hermione vs. 
  Ron/Hermione. I'd always been in the latter camp, in fact, I was 
  surprised to learn that H/H fans even existed until discovering them 
  here! So, naturally, I'm curious. Could someone explain the
  theories 
  behind H/H to me, so I feel a little more in the loop here? I'd 
  really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hello,

Welcome to the list!

There is a very good reason for the H/H ships. There are several extremely good fanfiction stories (loosely-Harry Potter based fiction) which present this pairing. These fics had converted many of their readers. There was actually a survey that sowed the change in ship-preference before/after reading them. The most famous H/H fics are:
HP & The Paradigm of Uncertainty, by Lori Summers
Draco Dormiens / Draco Sinister, by Cassandra Claire

All three can be found in http://fanfiction.net or in the file section of the ParadigmOfUncertainty egroup (yahoogroup now).

One more invention of fanfiction is the Draco-Malfoy-was-an-abused-child-and-he-is-now-reformed. There are many who put him with Hermione, or even with Ginny Weasley. *choke*

If you want more, mail me privately, and I'll happily refer you to many good fics.

yael
