Reviews For A Time and Place to Learn
I've found that with slash and with argued-about het pairings, you pretty much have to state that you're going to do it before you even begin. It's annoying, but seems to avoid problems. Harry/Draco isn't one of the pairings I like (in fact I don't ship any of the younger characters, het or slash), but at least as a slasher I wouldn't be upset to have a story suddenly turn a Harry and Draco friendship into a relationship. However, a sudden infusion of Harry/Ginny always annoys me greatly, so I understand those people who get upset.
I have a difficult time believing that Snape will let Harry off, even if he knows that Worty really did it. But then again, I think it will be interesting to see if Harry can even bring himself to lie to Snape after all they've been through. He's got to develop the respect sometime... I could see Harry stumbling around his lie and then giving himself up, inevitably begging Snape to go easy on Worty. I can't wait to see how this turns out. However you write it, it'll be brilliant and enjoyable. As for the slash opinion, I vote no. This is one of the only stories where I can stomach Draco, and I think it has a lot to do with his and Harry's relationship--they're like brothers. Making it a slash fic would completely change it, and I think you'd lose a lot of readers, unfortunately. Author's Response: Thank you and everyone else who has weighed in one this matter. Most of the urges I got for slash were from fanfic.net, but to be honestly, Potions and Snitches was the first place I even posted my writing and I agree with everything you have said in this matter. Therefore, this story will remain Gen and I will have to tell the other people to read something else. I appreciate the feedback and will start writing soon. Perry
On the issue of Slash, it is, I feel, completely random. Truthfully, I was begining to view Draco as an older brother to Harry, to protect him from doing stupid things where Harry is alas at a loss to protect himself [for the sake of others] Other's first seems to be the Griffy theme but Draco's in slytherin and well he knows when to save his own hide. [especially from Snape ;)] I think we should see more Harry becoming infatuated, I think the Harry/Ginny ship should be introduced in a way that it's really just a crush nothing too, well off the hook especially for a fic like this one! Thanks for being an amazing writer P! JD
You finally updated okay, where does this whole slash thing come in? I mean who is slashing? Personally I think you should keep slash out of this story Thanks Kel
