I've read a little H/D, mostly that of catsintheattic and by the end of the fics I was convinced,
I totally blushed when I read this. This is a huge compliment - that I made the pairing work for you.
I guess most H/D writers use the antagonistic angle "hate turning into love/attraction" or "love/attraction that has been disguised as hate". I don't always do that with H/D; sometimes I start with post-war friendship. But turning them all saccharine doesn't work for me either. Harry and Draco will always have a touch of competition between then, some kind of measuring each other up.
And yes, H/D can be a very intimidating pairing when you start writing in it - there are so many awesome writers, and the pairing has such a huge history. It took me almost two years of reading H/D before I started writing it. Crazy, huh?
I'm looking very much forward to H/D Travel Fair! I've left two prompts, and both got picked as well. *happy dance* And I'm going to write my H/D story outside the fest.
