Something I thought might be worth mentioning

[donnaimmaculata]

I consider fanfiction, to a great degree, as a platform that allows me to lust after some man I fancy. Therefore, I prefer to read fics that are not written from that man's PoV. I want see him through the eyes of others, because, in order to find someone fanciable, I musn't know what's going on inside their heads. I want the mystery. I want to remain an outsider. I want the distance.

Does that make sense to anyone else beside myself?

Yes, he is nice, isn't he, despite the loneliness and the secrecy and the goddamn bad luck of it all. He could be bitter, but he's not. And he has that dependable calm thing going on. The marauders would have disintegrated without him - the one you don't notice till he's gone.

And I love the bit in OotP when Harry is asking him and Sirius about Snape's worst memory and he is all 'I should have done a better job controlling my friends' etc which makes me want to cry every time I read it! *sniffles*

The rpg is the_leaky. I'm watching, because I'm not online often enough to rp and people would be hovering on the brinks of orgasms for hours and it wouldn't be fair. Jamie Bamber played Archie Kennedy (icon!) in Hornblower and I adore him.
