An Open Letter To The H/Hr Shippers:

[mrsronweasley]

Dear Shippers:

You know, it was never going to be your book. It was never going to be our book. No matter how much JKR allowed us to play in her sandbox, ultimately, all the toys were always hers. They belonged to her, their fates and all. Her planning of the books had absolutely nothing to do with us, and to this day, does not. When thinking about her characters (should I emphasize the "her" again?) she only thought of what she considered to be right. And she never waivered. The books were never going to be Harry/Hermione because that is not what she had intended. In her romance, there were no red herrings - it was loud and clear from the get-go. You did not like where it was headed, so you made up something else, and that is absolutely fine and your prerogative. But it was never going to actually happen. Hey! I hated Remus/Tonks when it first surfaced! I'm a die-hard R/S shipper, and will most likely remain such till my dying day! But you know what?

I have never ONCE felt the need to threaten JK Rowling with bodily harm or take out an ad in The New York Friggin' Times in order to show how upset I was at a pairing.

I can get over it; so can you.

Get the fuck over it. She is not the anti-Christ, she is a writer. To some that may mean she IS the anti-Christ, but surely, you, who have found so many hours and days and weeks and months and years of pleasure from her books, would never think that just because things didn't go your way.

This time, things did not go your fucking way.

You feel insulted? Belittled? Humiliated? You know what?

Grow a backbone; get the fuck over it; grow up. It's a book. It's her book. They are her characters. Criticize the writing if you must; rue the romance; but please get a fucking sense of humor. This is ridiculous. If you're over the age of 14 and throwing tantrums over a SHIPPING WAR, there is something seriously wrong, and you need to reexamine your priorities. Belittle those who like R/Hr, call them bastards, whatever - but don't drag J.K. Rowling into it. That's just plain childish, immature and yeah, disgusting. Don't you feel grossed out by the entire display at all?

Guess not. But please heed some of the advice doled out to you by many.

Oh, and yeah - Get. The fuck. Over it.

Thank you,
Mrs. WonWon Weasley

Dude, just wait - it'll become official. I've already purchased a name-changing token. I'm just too wimp-ass to use it. :P

Excellent.

Hello, Mystery Person, who might you be?..

"It's her book."

Yes, but lordy! lordy! Does she love to fuck the fans over... ;)

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

I know!! But that's also part of her charm. At least to me. I mean, I seriously got fucked with a broom and no lube in BOTH of the last books, but at least I've retained my sanity. Know what I mean?..

[othergoose.livejournal.com]

You know, they could have avoided all of this if they had just gone here.

Smackdown.

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

That is fucking AWESOME.

Ihave never ONCE felt the need to threaten JK Rowling with bodily harm or take out an ad in The New York Friggin' Times in order to show how upset I was at a pairing.

Good lord, people actually took out an AD??? I don't begrudge H/Hr supporters their right to heckle, seeing as how we R/S shippers did our share (and more) after OotP...and HBP to some extent. But this is beyond ca-ray-zay. lol

What's even more funny is, of all the possible ships in HP, H/Hr was perhaps the least supported by canon.

What a funny fandom we live in. :)

*hugs*

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

Good lord, people actually took out an AD???

They want to raise money for one. Because over $140000 couldn't go to a better cause than venting their spite. JAYZUS! WTF?!

But this is beyond ca-ray-zay.

Well, that's the thing - we've invested a LOT in R/S, and I still severely dislike the fifth book, but there's a breaking point there, where you just have to say 'no, I won't go there' and stop. But they have NO BREAKING POINT. Like having no gag reflex, you know? It just won't close up!

What's even more funny is, of all the possible ships in HP, H/Hr was perhaps the least supported by canon.

Less so than Snape/Wormtail. Seriously.

MWAAAH! :D

P.S. Have I mentioned how glad I am you're back? So glad!

[othergoose.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty satisfying fight, I'll tell you what ;)

[xjestx.livejournal.com]

No way..an ad in the New York Times? WTF? Can I have a link to that?

Batshit insane.

[sekhmet2.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU! You took the words right out of my mouth, Mrs WonWon Weasley.

WonWon... ::DIES LAUGHING:: You SO need to use that token! ::falls over dead from laughing::

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

You're welcome! *g*

I KNOW!! I should. I WILL, dammit. :P

MWAH!

[chickadilly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's pretty insane isn't it?

Mrs. WonWon Weasley ... <3333's you! :D

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

:D

It's beyond words absurd. I never ever thought it could get THAT bad. WTD?!

[croupier.livejournal.com]

OK, so. I've been cramming for Evidence and Family Law all week, I'm cranky as hell, I have a headache, and then I get home, and this?

THIS IS THE GREATEST POST-EXAM TREAT I HAVE EVER GOTTEN.

(Including that one time I drank two LITs, a champagne cocktail, half a Cosmo, and a beer the day finals ended.

That time that may or may not have been in May.)

I am SO GLAD the shit spent today getting acquainted with the fan, because HA! I could not have ASKED for better entertainment.

New! York! Times! Ad! BWA!

[croupier.livejournal.com]

And also, damn (http://googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=croupier&word2=your+mom)! I'll kick that bitch's ass someday.

[taintedrocky.livejournal.com]

A-fuckin-men, sista.

The craziest thing in my head is that R/H shippers have called them worse than delusional before and they've retaliated with worse - JKR has a laugh with some kinda-friends who are calling them delusional (in a joking way, because they disagree) and suddenly this? They don't want to be in her fandom any more because their ship didn't sail? Good fucking riddance - I don't want a bunch of pathetic people who attack a woman just because she didn't write their way to be in any way associated with a fandom I love.

Dear Jesus - they're acting as though she sat and thought "Mwuahahahahahaaa!! I'll write R/H ONLY to fuck over those H/Hr shippers. Bwuahahahahaha!!111!!!one I am the ANTI-CHRIST!"

On the other hand....*hearts Liz*

[mrsronweasley.livejournal.com]

It's just...there are no words, you know? Like...no words at ALL. *sigh*

*hearts you back!*

Thank you,
Mrs. WonWon Weasley

*dies*

Why, thank you. :D

Mwah!

[lizzieluthor.livejournal.com]

[xrated13.livejournal.com]

[bfootgirl.livejournal.com]

i'm a little slow on the uptake but...

OH. MY. GOD.

are you freakin' kiddin' me? seriously? tell me you're kidding. an ad in the NYT?!

*rolling on the floor in hysterical laughter*

dear god. *wipes tears away*

these people are scary. truly, incredibly scary. sometimes i don't know whether to laugh or cry. i betcha though--you watch, one of these freaks will be our president someday! bwahahaha.
