Hmm, Scott... I have to wonder about this.  A few weeks ago I made 
broad sweeping generalizations about ship prefs.  Since then I've 
chatted with R/Hers who don't like Ron and identify with Hermione 
(supposedly an H/H characteristic), and an H/Her who like me is a 
huge fan of Lucy Maud Montgomery (the intersection of fans with any 
ship preferences tends R/H).  

Also, like Yael, I have multiple ship preferences.  In addition to 
H/H, I'm starting to lean towards reformed-D/G.  I guess I'm F/A by 
default (since I'm writing it), but really don't care about its fate 
in canon.  The only thing that *would* annoy me is if Angelina gets 
picked off without a sentence or two of explanation, as she's 
currently the most developed of the three Gryffindor Chasers... I 
expect better things from JKR than the infamous horror/sci-fi movie 
cliche (illustrated at its best in the movie Jurassic Park--black guy 
gets eaten before the opening credits fully roll).

Ship preferences shift as well.  I've talked to ex-H/Hers who are now 
firmly R/H.  I used to be strongly anti-H/C, but that sentiment has 
since been replaced with anti-H/G, my current Least Favorite Ship.  

Who knows?  I'm having so fun writing "Trouble in Paradise"... maybe 
I'll enjoy my visit on the other side so much that I'll take up 
permanent residence...

Right.  ;-)

BTW, many thanks to John (Crazy Ivan), Jeralyn the Voicelady, and 
Carole for plugging my crazy experiment here and over at the PoU 
list.  Very sweet of you.
