persephone_kore*yawn* Somebody compared Godric/Rowena to H/Hr again, this time on the "Why is it always Rowena/Salazar?" thread over on FA.
I wonder if I'd get in trouble for saying, "Well, I see what you mean -- I realize romance and attraction weren't so much of a priority in marriage back then. I prefer to think of the Godric/Rowena pairing as having a little more spark, though."
Probably. Bah.

Date: 2004-05-06 07:29 am (UTC)Mind, Andrea pointed out that she's actually seen more stories with Helga/Salazar, Rowena/Godric and/or Founder/OC pairings. I think this probably reflects some sample bias; I strongly suspect that the Godric-Rowena-Salazar and Harry-Hermione-Draco love triangles in Cassie Claire's stuff have led to a lot of paralleling.
Hmm. Just for the heck of it, I'd like to know if there's a story out there that runs the correspondence Godric-Rowena-Salazar to Ron-Hermione-Harry, instead. I'm not sure whether it would be any good or not -- if it's somebody who considers Godric and Ron to be misogynistic buffoons, then no -- but it would have potential. Might work with that Fixing the Mistakes of Your Intergenerational Parallels theme.
Though it neglects Helga, which isn't good.

Of course. But catch an H/Hr shipper admitting Ron has a good quality... well, that's not fair. Some of them do.

True enough. I have to confess to it myself, of course, and also to getting rather perverse about contradicting some versions I don't care for.
