[size=7][color=#000099] # 185 here!

#186...

misspsychopath is clearly delusional if the meaning of delusional is: Supporting HHr just because they have a clear connection as evidenced by th many arguments and essays about it that are so abundant that she is too tired to name them all...

Can I count my imaginary friend too? He's also delusional...Like me!

#188
My mom and sister are harmonians, too. We've been delusional for nine years and will keep on keeping on!!

#189 Delusional to the end!

190 I loved the seventh book. You guys should be reading it for the plot, not the romance, especially considering Jo seems to suck at writing romance. The book was good. If one ignores the OBHWF aspect.
Long live the HMS Pumpkin Pie!

[font=Times New Roman] # 191! Now and forever. It´s a great expierience to me to find so many H/Hr-Fans here who have the same opinion. It´s pretty hard to find germans (like i am) who aren´t H/G R/Hr.

Hi my name is Penny and I have been delusional for about 6yrs..... and will be until the day I die

#192

p.s My best friend is delusional also!!

193!

Long time fan, long time lurker. I don't think anything could keep me from loving this ship. I grew up with it, and I'll get old with it.

Come on guys! we can make it to to 250 at least!

Harmonians unite!

194!
Delusional for 7 years and proudly, since before I finished SS/PS

I love this site so so much. Almost everyone supports HHR. On this other site I go on, HPFF, the amount of HHR stories has gone way down, and on the HHR topic on the forums, it's mostly discussing why our ship would never work and it's OBHWF all the way. These things make me sad, so seeing all the HHR stories and people and topics here makes me happy again. In fact, between this and reading negative reviews and writing fan fiction, I may even recover from all of the stuff happening, from getting dissed for supporting my ship, to the DISASTER HBP and DH were.

So THANK YOU!

I want to introduce myself here first...

I didn't care much about shipping when I first read the three early books of Harry Potter at 2002. But I liked this Hermione character and I felt alright if later on the series she would be intended by the author as Harry's love interest. Pairing her with Ron? Umm sorry... absolutely didn't see it...

When GoF came out, I liked the part about that Skeeter's article and the constant denial by Harry about he and Hermione as a couple. I felt it was cute and kind of showing the typical storyline "everybody but themselves sees it". I never discussed my view about shipping in Harry Potter with someone else because I'm SURE that everybody shares the same view with me... (which later proved wrong... so many MoRons outside... )

After I read HBP I was very shocked with the fact that Harry (with some slight personality changes) suddenly have Ginny as his girlfriend and Ron and Hermione showing signs of loving each other but at that time I had no accesses to internet and therefore had no knowledge of fandom, shipping wars, fanfictions, or wonderful persons like you, fellow Harmonians. So I think that the author had every right to write the character exactly as she wished, and it's not a big problem to me to accept R/Hr and H/G as main pairing despite lack of chemistry between them. I also accepted that I was able to read Harry and Hermione's relationship as a very strong, but platonic, friendship. Until today. I can understand why many people told so. It's up to us to interpret the books.

At the beginning of year 2007 (six months before DH released) I started to browse fanfictions and get into the Harry Potter fandom. Here, I read many forums, fanfictions, etc that showed to me that not everyone was happy with JKR's version of romance and pairing, and also showed me that the unhappy readers have rights to speak about it. I remembered the time when I read Harry Potter before I got into fandom, and I remembered how I was 'attached' with possibility of Harry/Hermione pairing. When HBP came out, I dismissed H/Hr from my minds because its 'un-canon' status. But after I got into fandom, I realized that supporting an 'un-canon' pairing is not a sin, especially this ship, the ship that seems most 'realistic' compared to any other 'un-canon' ship.

At the first weeks of getting into fandom, I also read what you called 'IoD' and I found it very annoying. The interview itself, JKR (I felt she suddenly became bigheaded because of her popularity, or exactly, HARRY's popularity), and two MoRons who interviewed him (I really wanted to SPATZ on HIS face).

At that second, I decided that I identified myself as Harry/Hermione shipper.

As I visited many fandom sites, I also noticed that OBMDC shippers usually annoying and always trying to convert H/Hr shippers. In their real life, they intimidate their relatives so they don't ship H/Hr. Even at the non-debate forums, they still shows hostility towards US, and not towards other pairing including slash or else. They also frequently insult H/Hr as if we are disease and should be eradicated from world to make a peaceful, one big happy world... When it comes to debate, their ultimate weapon is 'OUR PAIRINGS ARE CANON'. They don't understand and seems not willing to understand that we support the pairing because canon status of the pairing, but because we prefer friendship over bickering. Canon or not, sail or not, I ship Harmony and will sail together or go down together with the ship.

On the other side, I found the Harmonians are quite rational in their arguments even though everyone else seems to treat them badly. Even the author seems to harbor a deep hatred toward us ('Riddle!Harmony and "She's like my sister" crapshit stuff...). I sympathized for it and I decided to ship Harmony, cause it's rational and not-so-delusional...

This is my first post on a Harry Potter forum, and I want to proclaim...


196th... I'M A HARMONIAN AND I'M PROUD.

hi...i'm new here so....i think i'm harmonian number 197!
Harmony lives on! and i really don't care what people say that Harmony didn't happen! I'm proud of being a harmonian!

Welcome, Rose Potter, to the supposedly delusional world of non-canon HHr shipping! I became an HHr shipper myself AFTER HBP. HBP woke me up to how jarringly discordant H/G and R/Hr feels. I'm not saying these relationships don't exist in real life [and obviously in HP, they exist, too], but they just don't feel like they could last being happily ever after.

Of late, not many Harmonians seem to be posting much in these Portkey threads. Maybe many are disillusioned with HP in general, thus, losing interest. And it seems like the Herons [the handful of them that have registered as members; some registered after DH came out, when it is safe to crow out that you are an R/Hr shipper] are very active and the non-debating threads seem to be turning into debating ones. Just my perception, of course.

And so, welcome to Portkey and please, do take up the mantle of HHr along with others like Alexius, who continue posting for, fighting for, and defending HHr. As for me, I am not so good in writing. Literature and English are not my fields of expetise. And I haven't read DH. So, I am not debating anything against anybody. But shipping HHr, I remain, and for many similar reasons you have so eloquently stated in your post, too.

Warmest regards,
mfh

Thanks a lot, MyForeverHarry.



I found it quite annoying. You're right, we should defend ourselves against the aggression of those Ship-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named... but, similar to you, I think I'm not much in debate... I'm relatively new in posting here, you know... I've read the forums for a year but I only started posting several days ago... But I'll do what I can to at least express my opinion about how beautiful our ship is, and I'll let others know about that.

Come on guys...!

196 last count...

I know there are at least 4 more out there!

<sigh> I'm all alone...

*rushes in dusting soot of her clothes* Number 197

*blushes waves then returns like Nero at rome to dance around the burning pile of epilogues screaming Burn baby burn*

*returns to the canons to shoot at canon ships & the epilogue*

So am I number 199 or am I number 201? Doesnt matter! Harmony forever

* rushes in and waves arms around frantically(sp?)* hey im new here, not to the site, but writing in the forums. so am i 200 or 202. well it doesnt matter because im a Harmonian and proud of it.
