Re: Unpopular fandom opinion

[ginainthekingsroad]

Back in like 2005, I wrote post-war HP fic that killed off Ron but I had reasons. I was among the people who followed that chessboard theory- "7 moves, 7 years"- so at the time, I actually believed that JKR might kill him (although possibly not permanently, as indeed she ended up doing with Harry) in accordance with Ron's sacrifice in the wizard chess game. So yeah I totally gave him a heroic sacrifice. But I am very much not anti-Ron.

Can I ask what fic that was? Curious to see if I read it. Maybe I'll read it now, it'd be interesting. (No pressure to link, I seriously never link my old stuff because... it's my old stuff.)

I never thought Ron would die (I always figured if she killed one of the trio, she'd have to kill all of them off as in a way they were one entity), but I like your reasoning there. And of course thinking a character should die for plot purposes is much different from "Ron sucks no one likes him, so let's kill him off." I'm willing to bet his death was devastating for everyone in the story. :(

It was a post-War Hermione (and ultimately Hermione/Draco, wtf) fic called "Smoke and Mirrors." It's still up on ff.net but I don't recommend you read it- it's overwritten unfinished nonsense. I had a lot of details in my mind about how the war went but most of them never made it into the story, just that Ron had gone out in a blaze of glory. Please don't read it. *hides*

I won't. Promise. I have fics just like that so I get it. :)

I think dying in a heroic sacrifice is one of the best compliments you can give a character. (And I totally hoped for the chessboard thing too!)
If you're comfortable with it, could you rec us this fic? I'd be really interested in reading it.

I thought whoever came up with the chessboard theory was the most brilliant person ever-- it made so much sense! The fic is called "Smoke and Mirrors" by mad-maudlin-42 on ff.net but I do no recommend anyone read it! It is unfinished and terrible. I was 14-16 when I wrote it. DO NOT DO IT.

If you're going read my terrible, unfinished teenage HP fic, I'd rather you read the Victorian one. With that one, I've actually always had it in the back of my mind to revise and make into original fiction. Actually moreso the sequel (which has never seen the light of internet) because that one's a murder mystery and there's seriously only one main character who appears at all in HP.
