oooh, yeah, that thing again...

I've been getting weepy over fanfic (um... Snape/Hagrid fic if you must know *hides face*) for the past three or four days, and this morning I got tears in my eyes over something to do with my thermos. It's going to the music festival with Eor and I have to go to work. Between that and my tetchiness last night I began to think there might be something wrong with me. Last night I was chilled and hungry for a long time, but mainly I was SO tired. And I've been awfully tired for a few days.

Then I recalled that it's Sunday and I needed to pull off the patch I've worn for the past week, and that this one is the last of three. Oh yeah. One does tend to get tired and tetchy and weepy at that time of the month, huh? Damn, I'm 41 and I still haven't got the hang of this.

Time for some coffee, with lots of chocolate.

Oh, and I'm getting a zit on my nose despite having washed carefully with a special facial cleanser twice every day for the past week, paying special attention to my nose.

Hmm, now I'm intrigued but terrified about this Snape/Hagrid.

It has a kind of sense to it, I think. If you accept Rowling's own interpretation of Snape as someone who needs lovin'... and Hagrid thinks all prickly, dangerous animals need lovin'... so it's kind of the perfect match. Too bad I can't actually believe in it. I can still enjoy the stories, though. Eor thinks I'm a nut. He can't see how I can enjoy the stories if I really don't see Snape ever allowing his front to crack enough to let Hagrid in. Somehow I can just suspend disbelief and say this is a slightly different Snape than the one I know.

The collection I've been perusing is here.

I've been reading Sylvadin's stories from the beginning, even though she begged off that she'd not had the best beta reader for the first stories and made a lot of grammatical errors. I've seen worse. I don't quite buy the rather extreme amounts of abuse she portrays Snape as taking, and his breaking down as much as she has it, but I'm going to forge on, for now. I'll mine out this vein until I can't stand any more, because that's what I'm like when I take up a new perversion. ;)

Oh, PS

Sylvadin actually recced to me:
The first Snagrid stories I read were those by
Bernice; I'll also rec those by Delphi, Predatrix, and
Switchknife. For a novel length story, Athea's
'Forbidden Forest' is good - though it rapidly
diverges from canon because Athea wrote it before most
of the HP books had been released.
