Have I arrived now?

Hey, look at this! "Left My Heart" made fanfic_hate! I just wish the anonymous non-fan had got the title correct...

ETA: Just out of curiosity, I wonder which fandom cliches s/he thinks LMH is so riddled with? I could really use that information. Hmmm...

Hey, thanks! BTW, did anybody jump in on your attempt to start a conversation about this on your LJ?

Not really. Heidi basically agreed with me, and Cat mentioned that she thought that slavish devotion to IC portrayals in fic was a waste of time anyway, since she tends to define anything not written by JKR as automatically out of character. She certainly has a point.

FWIW, I'm taking that as confirmation that I'm right. *is smug* You're another big P-H H/D fan, though, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic. I think I'm almost done writing P-H H/D; I posted one yesterday and am mostly done with the 2nd part to Noise, and then it'll be back to pure appreciation for me. :))

I'll try to do go contribute to the discussion, then. Actually, Rita and I were thinking that the whole fanfic_hate and cliche thing would make a good Chix-Talkin-Fix topic.
