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.

Never thought about that, but TRUE. I think I just sort of discounted the Crapilogue, though, so that accounts for my lack of rage. It's weird, because I was brought up with it, since my last name is my mother's and she's been married twice and didn't change it either time; and it always shocks me that some people just cannot wrap their heads around where my surname came from.

I believe, though I could not swear to it, that Hermione's surname isn't specified in the epilogue (thank god, because it's so 60s I just wouldn't trust it at all.) I think we have similar experiences in these matters! <3
