People clearly see what they want to see.

I wrote a story in AT from the POV of two Muggle boys in a club who are watching the exploits of two other men whose proper names they do not know. Here's how the first mystery man is described:

"He moved like a whirling dervish, his sandy hair flopping into his eyes. He had long since taken off his shirt and tucked the corner of it into a belt loop and his light brown chest hair glistened with sweat. He wasn’t exactly handsome and while he was fit, he didn’t have the sort of sculptured physique that one commonly saw in a club such as this. But his joie de vivre made him the most appealing man in the room; that and his air of both total openness and complete unavailability."

How in god's name could anyone read that and think Draco? I mean, joie de vivre? And since when does "a tall black man" describe Harry?

Who knew Harry was black? Things like this are why we need to make S/D a more common ship, then people will be expecting us, not H/Dr. :D

There there...

*Pats Jen* That's the fandom for you. Tell you what, have a shiny new Flintficlet. Only finished it two hours ago. You'll find it in today's entry of my LJ.

And have some spicy almonds while you're reading. *Proffers goody bag along with ficcy*
