fuck me sideways

OK now. Of all the characters in fiction everywhere, Hermione Granger is the least likely in practically the entire WORLD to change her name upon marriage. She is career-motivated, widely-read, self-sufficient, politically aware and ACTIVE, and for fuck's sake, if that wasn't enough, she's marrying someone with FIVE LIVING MALE SIBLINGS.

Why is my fiction reading life so difficult, people.

Second question: do I get to count novel-length fics as 'books read'? I just read an epic Draco/Neville fic that I'm seriously considering counting even though I've never done that before. Thoughts? It was solidly novel-length, though I'm not sure how many words (averaging out a few chapters I would say it's about 150k, which is nearly four nebula novels; HP&tDH is apparently just under 200k and HP&tPS apparently 80k.) So it's the same amount of words as a novel. And they were pretty decent words, I guess. So... well, I don't know, you tell me.

PS I really mean it about Hermione.

I do see hyphenation for the kids quite a lot, actually - despite this rant, plenty of fics DON'T have Hermione change her name, enough that I can afford to be my judgemental instant-hit-of-the-backbutton-for-Mrs. H Weasley self. Anyway, I'm not myself a huge fan of hyphenation, I agree more with the sharing that you propose, but at least I think people who are hyphenating are thinking about it. (Plus, it's the 80/90s, so they're probably temporally accurate, too.) But yeah, ITA.

I like to think Hermione convinced Ron that it would be a good idea to have a Hugo Granger and Rose Weasley. Molly was HORRIFIED.

I like your ideas and wish to enforce them on everyone in the HP fandom.
