Ugh, this used to be me. I mean, I will still admit I don't understand certain non-canon ships, and in certain contexts I think it's fine to admit that, but I'm done with being negative towards other people over a stupid fandom ship.

I do have to ask though, does criticizing how that ship can be written count? Because I have certain pet peeves within certain ships, that I'd find annoying even if I did ship them.

Personally, I don't think criticizing HOW a ship is written (whether canon or fanon) is bad. Criticizing a ship for existing is what irritates me.

I think it's one thing to say, for example, that you think Draco and Hermione getting together (in a certain way) is nonsensical given that he's a pureblood supremacist. Having him totally fall in love with her for no reason in the sixth book and suddenly deciding he doesn't care about blood status is OOC.

A fic written post-7th book that has Draco examine his own beliefs, reject his parents' bigotry and eventually fall in love with Hermione, though, I think, has a lot of potential.

It's the execution that's the problem, I've usually found.

AYRT

Exactly! That's the exact issue I've had with the Dramione fics I have tried reading. And actually, I would love to read that fic, even though I don't normally ship it.

Yes, thank you!

I ship mainly antagonistic or rival or enemy ships and this is the reason I don't read many fic.

Most writers don't really work on it enough to make it a believable build up. It all turns into "oh you're so hot, instant hate!sex" or something.

I like a proper execution! A believable slow build up! Building an emotional connection slowly!

This is why I'm stuck with my imagination for my ships..
