And, In my opinion, which pairing or person you most identify
with. Are you more like Hermione, Ginny or Luna? >Would you
rather be involved with someone like Hermione, Ginny or >Luna?
I'm an avid H/G shipper. I definitely >identify more with Ginny.
Erika:
> > *nods* I too have noticed this trend in shipping tendencies. I
myself identify quite closely with Hermione and I ship H/H. To me
pairing Hermione with Ron is just unthinkable. I don't relate to
him at all as a character. I also have never enjoyed the arguing
between Ron and Hermione. But lots of people do identify with
Ron and those who ship R/H enjoy their bickering. I sometimes
wonder if there is a preponderance of Ron fans on the R/H ship.
Either way, I think most shippers are reading through tinted
glass. We use canon to back our arguments, but the
interpretation of any quote is still highly subjective.<<
Jim:
>> I don't think that you can analyze ships by quotes, or by
analyzing canon. We're not trying to prove who killed Cock
Robin here.
This is a retread, I've posted it before, but it's my take:
I'm an H/H shipper because time and again Harry and Hermione
are perfect for each other, but I started out as an H/G shipper
and still have a soft spot for it, so Toad and I are not opponents,
but mirror images:<<
Pippin:
I think it depends not only on how you want the story to end but
on how you want it to develop. Do you prefer a fairytale romance,
where all the obstacles to the lovers' happiness are external, or
do you prefer an Austen-esque affair in which two apparently
mismatched people have to work through a comic/painful
process of self-discovery with bliss as their ultimate reward?
R/H,H/G does not necessarily equal a sacharrine One Big
Happy Weasley family double wedding --not if Harry has to leave
the wizarding world in order to save it (which I believe he will.)
