rynneOkay, just a bit of background for the new people who came from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
tarie's friending thing--I'm one of the mods of VENOM at FictionAlley, which is the debate and can't stand (whatever) forum. However, debate there is virtually non-existent, and the forum has pretty much been taken over by Can't Stand threads, like Can't Stand Harry/Hermione and Can't Stand Harry/Ginny and so on.
It's a lot of ship-hate--and I mean a lot. And there's just as much around LJ, too.
So I propose we lessen some of that ship-hate. Take the one ship in this fandom you really can't stand (if there's more than one, pick the one you like least), and post in your journal what is good about that ship. No sarcasm allowed--be sincere, though you don't have to pretend you don't like your favorite ship. Just try to find something you like about that ship you hate.
I'll go first.
What I like about Remus/Snape: I can see where it's coming from, and they've got things in common. Society looks down on both of them (Remus for being a werewolf, Snape for being a former Death Eater), and both men are intellectual (both seem to be the type to be comfortable in research), and both like being in control. In fact, that liking for being in control could add a bit of spice and unpredictability to their relationship. And I actually sort of like the idea that at the end of PoA, Snape let slip Remus's secret because Remus wanted him to (so Remus could go find Sirius, or something), which would make sense if they'd had some sort of relationship during PoA.
Now you try it, and spread it around!
