Amusing there;s a fic on AFF that describes H/Hr as the fandom's 'most hated pairing' I always though that was the canon's pairings.
One of the advantages of using lesser-known characters is the amount of wiggle room they have. I love Harry/Pansy fics, and dislike Draco/Hermione fics. Yet they're pretty much the same dynamic. Except Pansy's got enough wiggle room in her character that I buy it. But Draco is well enough defined for my 'characterisation sense' to start crying to high heaven if he gets any action.
