… what’s the point of Twilight* fanfic without vampires?
*Please note, while I’m not wild about Twilight, I’ve had it with the all the bashing, so I will delete any and all comments that diss the series or the movie.
I simply don’t understand that phenomenon. Isnt’ the supernatural element that which makes the series different, exciting, entertaining? I mean seriously, if you take away the vampires and the werewolves what is LEFT?
Two completely ordinary teenagers falling in love.
(Wait, didn’t someone write that story already?)
It’s like HP without magic, wizards and witches. Or as my husband summed it up: like The Godfather without MAFIA.
I’m honestly and completely confounded and confused by the very concept.
But of course now I absolutely have to think about HP without magic, without witches, without wizards, without Muggles.
… Voldemort would be a drug dealer getting out of prison.
Snape is a chemistry teacher at an American High School and in the witness protection programme after his contribution to Mr. DeMort’s erstwhile prison-sentence.
Mr. Albus Dumbledore is either the prinicpal of the school or maybe even better, in charge of the special investigation against Mr. DeMort.
Mr. Lucius Malfoy is a rich Republican and religious fundamentalist trying to get books that contain references to Darwin, the evolution and homosexuality removed from the school’s library.
Hermione Granger as the chairwoman of the school’s Amnesty International group. Lavender Brown as cheerleader. Ron Weasley as what? Baseball champion?
And Harry’s the son of one of Mr. DeMort’s victims.
Oh. My. God.
I think the heat is getting to me.
