(sorry if this has been brought up before)

so some have moved onto Daphne Greengrass...some onto Tracey Davis...some onto some twisting of Pansy Parkinson.

who do you think will feature prominently in a Harry/Slytherin non-slash fic? I know Jeconais has uh...done all but Tracey now - but i think there's one or two where Tracey Davis features prominently.

any particular reason why you would favor one over another?

somewhat jokingly, i'm surprised i haven't come across any fics where harry falls for a male!blaise transfigured permanently into a girl from an author who just can't get over their fem!blaise concept.

and on a sidenote...is anyone else getting ridiculously tired of the "ice queen" phrase?

second sidenote: how did everyone end up thinking that blaise was a girl's name? did one author think it sounded girly and wrote a fiction that everyone else ran with? has no one encountered Blaise Pascal in their math classes?

 

The ice queen phrase is just an excuse that authors for why Harry hasn't noticed Blaise earlier.

About Blaise Pascal. I wondered that too but since everyone likes Blaise as a girl, it'll stay that way with the fans.

 

Blaise is a gender neutral name, and since JKR never actually attached a gender defining characteristic or pro-noun to Blaise before book 6; while at the same time over-blanacing Slytherin house towards guys. . .

Only natural the some authors decided to turn 'it' into a girl.

Ice Queen = Annoyingly overused.

 

I still say tranny!Blaise is the heir to fem!Blaise.

Though I think most here won't ever let go of fem!Blaise. Which is kinda cute in a loyal Dark Lord Potter sort of way.

But Jeco's Perfect Situations and all the drabbles following it have me firmly in the Daphne Greengrass camp. She's a known female Slytherin pureblood. But I don't think any of her opinions or trash-talking or supporting of the junior Death Pillow-Biters has been addressed. And she's got the same first name as the hottie in scooby-doo. I'll give no reason why I support the last name Greengrass, but there's a half dozen good reasons you could probably guess.

Tracey Davis has another gender neutral first name. Sure sure, JKR says she's a she, but I may want to stick with my tranny!Tracey too.

Pansy on the otherhand is pugfaced and been touched by Malfoy. I don't care if it's all an act, and she's secretly gorgeous underneath. She's been touched by Malfoy. That's damaged goods. No one wants that. It's also why you should never date a rape victim.

/me is going to hell for that comment.

 

I will always think of Blaise as a female, it's just too damned female sounding of a name for it to be some dude's name.

I stand by my belief that she made Blaise who and what he is, in a lame attempt to diversify the students more into different ethnic backgrounds.

 

I concur with MidKnights opinion.

 

Though if they mentioned Pascal's full name (it's Blaise Pascal) in high school math classes, I'm almost sure that wouldn't be the case.

On that note: WOOT!!! Daphne takes the lead. Don't know why, but I kind of like the girl.

 

Voted Daphne here. Maybe I just like the name, or perhap's I've read some good H/Daphne fanfics -- can't really remember. I liked Jeconais' A Perfect Eulogy, was it?. Can't remember the exact name. Ach -- my memory is failing me, need to get some sleep or some caffeine.

 

I'm thinking scooby doo

 

Lol, my head will pop if I hear "Ice Queen" again. And yes, I'm in denial about Blaise's gender.

 

I vote none of the above... I say it will move to the Ravenclaw house and Lisa Turpin.

 

Anyone got links to these fics?

And I'll go with Greengrass... hell... she has so little personality in the book that in 9 out of 10 femmeBlaise fics (the ones where she's pureblood) you can just replace every mention of Blaise's name and It'll work...
