21 year old male Actuary trying to pass free time reading instead of studying for the damn exams. Ships: HHr, Honks, and H/FSlytherin; NaruSaku, NaruAnko; F/X and B/X. I cannot stand most H/G because it is just... wrong. I mean, Ginny just isn't consistent enough in canon, so many people ignore what she was like in previous years to HBP and make her into a fashion/bueaty/slutty/omnicient/soulmated Goddess from on High. The few stories I do like H/G in are written with thought and ignore this popular trend (see NoFP). Slash (as a main ship) is a huge turnoff, as are huge harems. Unless you completely ignore and rebuild Harry, I could never see him with more than two women, and even that is a canon stretch. Godlike!Harry is amusing in the the humorous, Rorschach's Blot's Mr. Black style, but the elemental/shadow mage/wandless magic/uber sword fighter/martial arts master/Occlumens god/multiple magical animagus/sculpted Olympian body!Harry is just retarded. I mean, you need SOME conflict to make a story, and just having a plethra of "cool" powers a story does not make. Original storylines, esp those who come with intriguing ideas, greatly appeal to me.
