Okay, so as you likely know, Diacon Alley, a fan-run HP con, is happening this summer in Canterbury, England. It’s going to be fantastic. There are a couple of LJ comms with details (

diacon_alley and

diacon_chat) and I can answer questions if you’ve got ’em, but this isn’t meant as a pimp post.

I’ve got a programming proposal for Diacon – I think a panel looking at how characterisation of Harry changes according to who he’s paired with, and particular fanon portrayals that spring up around specific ships, would be really interesting. Unfortunately when I read Harry it’s almost exclusively Harry/Draco.

So, dear flist... I’m looking for people who’d like to help me out with that. If you ship Harry/Snape, Harry/Ginny, or Harry/Hermione that would be especially awesome; I’d like to have shippers from all the big Harry ships, especially if they ship more than one – ie fans of both Snarry and H/D – and know about the differences. But in a perfect world we’ll also have people who read Harry with others – Luna, Ron, Charlie etc. And really, if you’re thoughtful and going to Diacon and willing to be on a panel with PEOPLE WATCHING YOU, I would like you! Particularly since, as the tone of this probably suggests, I don’t have many fixed ideas. If someone wanted to do this with me and change the emphasis that would be totally fine.

But this is where I’m at now, and moving forward will be difficult without talking it over with other fans.
