emmagrant01I was on amazon.com tonight, and in the "Your recommendations" section, there were a variety of things listed, each of which was either Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Queer as Folk. I mentioned this to my husband, and he laughed, noting that this pretty much summed up my interests these days.
This is my problem, you know. For most of my life, I have been absolutely obsessed with Star Wars. Then I started reading and writing slash, and life got even better. I had put off reading the Harry Potter books quite on purpose, completely aware that once I started, I wouldn't be able to stop. I just have that sort of OC personality, you know? I was scared, and I knew there was lots of great HP slash out there, so it was with a weird mix of trepidation and excitement that I took all five books on vacation with me this summer.
Oh. My. God.
I am now the biggest Harry/Draco shipper... It is all I can do not to start writing H/D stuff. But the new QAJ season is on the horizon! How am I going to get my head back together in time?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jedirita has offered to slap me silly, and I may take her up on that. How do I balance two fandoms? Considering that I work full time?
Advice? Please?

Date: 2003-08-05 03:56 pm (UTC)That's true, and it's made me think a lot about the whole Qui/Obi thing. Harry/Sirius makes me a little uncomfortable, and I've been trying to read a lot of it just because it makes me slightly uncomfortable. Why does 15-year-old Harry in bed with (35-year old) Siruis bother me while 15-year-old Obi in bed with (50-year-old?) Qui doesn't so much? Is it because the HP universe is closer to reality than the GFFA?
And this also brings up my big issue with Qui/Obi: it *is* an inapropriate relationship, and people just don't seem to want to deal with that in fic. But that's what makes the pairing interesting in the first place!
