Hey, moderators - is this the right moment to suggest it should be 
off limits to make a comment that any ship that one disagrees with 
is "a little dinghy".

Ok, bad pun over.

Time for me to make my stand (and it's the kind of swaying back & 
forth rolling that ships do in inclement weather) on the issue.
So I'm writing a fanfic which, if it becomes anything, will be 
Draco/Hermione, and my favorite fanfics are all H/H, and out of all 
the arguments for which ship makes the most sense, I have to agree 
with 9 out of10 of the H/H ones.
I'm not vehement about it, and I totally understand where the 
nonshippers are coming from (are they all on some deserted island, 
working on their Reward Challenges or something, if they're not on a 
ship?) but I think it's time for me to publicly hop onto the SS H/H.

However, at the request of my husband, and of Cassandra, who heard it 
first, I want to post my husband's explanation of Why He Thinks Harry 
& Hermione Don't Belong TOgether (of course, he doesn't think she 
belongs with ron either, although he suspects the books will go that 
way):
Harry, having had a terrible childhood, traumatic experiences 
fighting evil, and likely further horrors in the future, needs 
someone flashier than Hermione - not necessarily some school trollop, 
but someone who is more of the arm-candy variety (although not 
necessarily just another dumb blonde). 
I'll see if I can get him to expand on this more later, but for 
now...all of you can just tear my husband to shreds...
