Fanon is better for the sheer fail and lulz there.
C'mon. Harry Potter gave birth to My Immortal. (Well, a sad goff did, but bleh, she mixed in HP.)

Hahaha, I'm not one of the abosolute MAD ones, but I had my ship in my head since I was young, and I never really could grasp H/R. Meh.

I'm also a Harmonian, but I don't mind Ginny. It's Ron that bugs me...
Anyways, I think fanon is better, because of some lulzy situations fanfic authors can come up with.

I choose fanon because the people who refuse to believe their ship sank are hilarious.

I was once a Harmonian, but I got bored. Say what you will about the Ron/Hermione relationship, but at least stuff happens in it.

I love Crackfic of all kinds, especially crack pairings, but I like to keep it canon most of the time - save for Harry/Ginny because Rowling failed the "Show, don't tell" rule here. Ron/Hermione, however, follows this rule - it was obvious, especially the Yule Ball scene.
Surprisingly, I don't think Harry should be with anyone. It doesn't seem right.

I like the canon, definitely, but I think it's fun to look and see what the fandom comes up with. (Harry/the Giant Squid?)

Hermione/Snape is the worst pairing.

Hermione/Snape is the worst pairing. Almost anyone/Snape is a bad pairing, because he's usually paired with students. Bleck. |

The only pairing I really enjoy are Ron/Hermonie and Dumbledore/McGonigal (sorry if I misspelled it)
I KNOW she said Dumbledore was gay, but the books just kinda leaned towards Dumbledore having a thing for McGonigal too much.
Otherwise, I don't care too much about the harry Potter pairings, at all. I kinda ignore them, really, because of the shippingwars

Yeah, like arguing. Hehehehe Trust me. My parents have been together forever, happily, and even THEY have their arguments. Being in a relationship without having SOME disagreement is like finding the fountain of youth, impossible |

Hermione/Snape is the worst pairing. I agree. It squicks me out to no end. I still think Harry should have been with Hermione, but I liked that one because I thought they would get together... |

I've actually never seen why people thought Harry and Hermione would get together. Maybe it's because I read the series after it ended, or maybe it's because I'm just not into fannish aspects of stuff, but it's always seen obvious to me that it would be Ron/Hermione.

I could see Ron/Hermione shipping developing., but I prefered Harry/Hermione more. >.> |

I hate Draco/Hermonie. Sure, Ron does tease her and they do have their fights (which they then make up by the end of the books), but Draco HATES her. He is completely RACIST to her and treats her inferior just because she doesn't have magic parents. It's sorta like pairing a black woman to someone who is racist, why would you do that? He's only going to treat her like crap  |

No, no, no, it has to be Neville/Luna!
...anyway (now that I finally got my account and can post), I typically prefer canon, but fanon is fun to play with. Especially slash ;D . And the best thing about fanon? Snape can end up with Lily! Because James is way too much of an asshole to get someone as awesome as Lily.

Ship wars are awesome to watch though. All the flailing and the "No JKR got it wrong!" and shit is hilarious.
I don't know why anyone bothers though. Everyone knows the only pairing that matters is Hogwarts/Giant Squid. |

I heard about that. How do you have sex with a building anyway?
