So lately I've had my love for Harry Potter take a startling revival (well...it's always been there but just taken a jump forward once more). Why? Because in my wonderful community LOLocracy, we had HP week. And it was one of the funnest times I've had there. Downright one of the best weeks ever. We're going to have a couple other kind of AU weeks (murder mystery starting the day of halloween and genderbend week). I'm hoping they'll be just as fun cause I had a blast with HP week, and I know the whole community is clamoring for another.
But all that is beside the point!
So recently I've come to love Percy, a character that only a few weeks early I deemed as a character that, "Is not made to be liked". Despite my recent love, I still stand by that statement. But truly? I like quite a few characters all around that are not meant to be liked, or characters that are not enjoyed by the general public. I find these characters to be more fun to try and figure out how they tick.
My love for Percy simply started with a fanfiction that was wonderful and lighthearted. I'm not going to say it was perfect. Since I'm still tetering on the love interest (Audrey, who Rowling said ended up being Percy's wife, but gave no real information on her other than that) was a Mary sue or not. I'm leaning towards yes....but either way I loved her portrayal of the sorely overlooked Weasley brother.
And it makes me want to read some good, wholesome fanfiction of that large family.
But the thing about that is.....
Is fanfiction is more or less 90% romance and/or yaoi <<
Which I guess is not a bad thing, but it's not what I'm shooting for.
If any of you have read my stories, you know I lean towards friendship/family stories more than anything else.
Which leads me to think....maybe....
I can start writing about this lovable family and their complicated relationships with one another. There's 9 people to play off of here, it would be a challenge, but I'm not sure if I'm going to find what I want (without diligent and painful searching anyway), so....yeah.
What do you guys think?
