Harry/Draco is rather stupid. I know that in every RomCom the couple who hate each other end up shagging, but they're on such fundamentally opposing sides that would never happen. But I think we're in the minority here about that. ;-)

Oh yes. It took me years to get into HP fandom, because everywhere I went I found H/D fanfiction, and it was all bloody boring. It's not the clicheness of it all, or the fact that it'd never happen; I'm a sometimes Ron/Draco fan, and that'll never happen either. But Ron/Draco is fun to read, it's usually snarky and sarcastic and overwhelmingly entertaining. Whereas Harry/Draco is usually overwhelmingly maudlin, angstful, predictable, angstful, boring, and did we mention the angst? Oh, good, we did. You'll note that I don't have much patience for gratuitous angst. *gryn*

Which isn't to say there aren't exceptions; I've found a few really good Harry/Draco fics (Aja and Francis Potter just to start with). But in generally I think it's an effing dull pairing. Which means it's really irritating when you realize that about half of all the Harry Potter fanfiction there is, is Harry/Draco slash. Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
