User blog comment:Phenglei Kai/"Courageous" - The Sam/Freddie Relationship/@comment-3419317-20110402170425

@ Phenglei Kai : Thanks for this! :)

For the record, everybody, I do love the Harry/Luna relationship very much. The reason that I had Luna reject Harry in that fanfic is because I'm not really very good at writing Luna Lovegood dialogue. I didn't want to depict Harry/Luna if I wasn't confident that I could do her character justice.

Besides, as you might have guessed from the title - For The Badger's Honour - This was a Hufflepuff-centered story. It was a great deal easier to get Harry involved in the central action if he was in a relationship with one of the Hufflepuff students - Susan Bones.

(The Harry/Susan relationship is probably my second favorite Harry Potter pairing, right after Harry/Luna, and there aren't too many Harry/Susan fanfics out there, so I really wanted to write one myself.)

One of these days, eventually, I will get back to that story, and hopefully finish it.

I'd like to thank everybody, both here and on the Seddie page, for all of your kind words about what I wrote. It's appreciated! :)

I was particularly flattered that Rachim liked what I wrote enough to tweet it. Thank you!
