Vaguely fandomy, despite being from work

resonant8 has posted a new story! New story new story new story! It's HP/HG/RW, and m_shell tells me it's very good. I, being all sensitive to work-safe issues, as it were, am trying very hard to remember to read it when I get home. But everyone should go read it, because resonant8 kicks ass.
***
Also, I have no HP icons. This should be remedied, but I'm kinda uncomfortable with doing icons of Harry or any of the kids because of the Cult around them. I mean, the whole thing where women four times their ages want to have sex with them. Eeek. And Remus has a ridiculous mustache. And Sirius was never my favorite. And Snape icons are a little Cult-of-Alan-Rickmany.
Maybe I should do icons of Gilderoy Lockhart. Or, or, Petunia. Or Dudley with a tail.
Clearly my problem here is that I'm uncomfortable with a fair amount of the tropes of HP fandom. Which is unfortunate, as there's also some really fun stuff going on there.
***
Ever have someone friend ("trust?") you and defriend ("de-trust?") you inside of, basically, a day? I mean, I'm really horrifically slow at adding people to my friends list, because I forget to do it, or forget to check (because I still have trouble understand why anyone who doesn't already know this would want to read stuff), or am worried about being overwhelmed, but I hope it's not people who are all "well, if she didn't friend me back in two days, I'm leaving!" Or maybe I hope it is those people, because then I can be all "gosh, how immature" and pretend it has nothing to do with anything I say or do. Not that I'm in denial or anything.

Date: 2004-03-15 02:01 pm (UTC)I know the feeling. I've tried to keep things pretty content-neutral with the kids, and as low on the objectification scale as is humanly possible. :) (Although for pretty much the same reason, this particular icon still amuses me to no end.)
I'd love to see a Petunia icon, really. Or Madam Hooch. Or, say, Ollivander. I really need to do an Ollivander fic one of these days -- I had a couple ideas....
All these interesting minor characters need their icon time! Damn it, now it's a crusade! Where's my screencap utility...?! *grin*

Date: 2004-03-16 09:03 pm (UTC)It's my only minor-character icon, really, so that's why I picked it. Also, because hearing Jack Davenport saying "a bit of courtly-man love" is one of the funniest things EVER.

Date: 2004-03-15 02:09 pm (UTC)how 'bout this?
(i mean, the execution could use some work, but you get the idea...)
(that's non-pervy, right? i mean, you know, it's not all ::drool::baby!hermione::drool:: anyway...)

Date: 2004-03-31 06:03 pm (UTC)But I can't imagine anyone friending me without reading my journal or knowing who I am, since I'm not a fiction writer or anything, so then I find it weird when people friend me and then unfriend me instantly, because I wonder what they thought they were getting that they're not. Weird.
