Thanks so much for coming by! Really! Wow... so much to say. First off, thanks very, very much for the kind words about my art. That's always first.
The second thing is a misconception I have to clear up very often- I'm not an HHR shipper. I just like H/Hr people and I feel bad for them. I ship Hermione with Lavender, Padma, or Luna. Harry I don't give a darn about enough to ship him with anyone. Yes, HHR does compliment my OTP (Draco/Ron, talk about a relationship of butting heads!) but I don't consider myself a shipper.
HHR shippers are the Lady, I'm the boy with the sword, and the nasty brand of OBHWFers are the dragon(s), and it's all because of goatsie, the guy who runs the mugglenet forum (bet you didn't know his name was goatsie!)
Your explanation on R/Hr shipping was beautiful. It was the whole "this love will last forever" thing that re-he-heally got to me. Then again, who is JK kidding? She ought to expect at least some of her characters would get divorced. The whole telling us the end pairings was a bad, control freak-y move, was it not?
I really love and appreciate you for your love of that ship. If I could just isolate myself and only watch you and Heron for a while, I'd be cured, I think. Only, that won't happen because I hang out in the GaiaOnline forums and there are always little snots crashing the HHR thread with nasty comments. It's, for some reason, never "H/G is the way!" but people waving the R/Hr flag.
