*thinks*

Woe, the problem is that you already rant on serious topics.

Hmmm, how about your opinion on Snape/Harry. *grins* I promise I won't be offended if you say that it is the most horrible ship that ever existed. (I'll just try to convince you otherwise)

Snape/Harry... well, in a sense it is a bit more credible than a lot of other ships one hears about. (Such as one I wrote about for fun, Lucius/Tonks.) Snape is one of the youngest teachers: there isn't the huge distance in age and the unattractive idea of old bodies on young ones that a lot of the teacher-student ships involve. And both Snape and Harry are deeply damaged people, the kind (everybody get ready to be offended), that, in my view, do tend to become homosexual. All the same, there is an unsurmountable problem: Snape is simply utterly unattractive. He is designed to be so. Even a gay Harry would have more or less his pick of partners, and he would not go for a guy who is both personally surly and physically graceless. Of course, I have written favourably of several fics that featured a sexy Snape (such as Shadowycat's), but that was because they were well written, not because I find the ship at all credible.
